FERC Proposes New Rules On Energy Co Affiliate Dealings

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- The U.S. Federal Energy Commission proposed Wednesday new restrictions governing natural gas pipeline and electric utility affiliate dealings.
The commission unanimously agreed to initiate a rulemaking to tighten regulations prohibiting pipelines and utilities from providing market-sensitive information to their marketing affiliates.
FERC rules allow monopoly pipeline and utility companies to sell natural gas and electricity at market rates, providing they adopt codes of conduct that prevent the passage of information giving a competitive advantage to their marketing affiliates.
The proposed changes reflect the sweeping convergence between the natural gas and power sectors in the years since FERC deregulated the pipeline industry in the 1980s.
FERC's "code-of-conduct" rules prohibit pipelines from sharing market-sensitive information with their gas-marketing affiliates. But the rules don't address the pipeline's power marketing affiliates.
The commission's proposed rules would expand the code-of-conduct rules to address all marketing affiliates, including those involved in financial transactions that don't entail the physical delivery of energy.
The template for the proposed changes can be found in the conditions FERC imposed in a 1999 order authorizing the acquisition of Pittsburgh-based Consolidated Natural Gas by Dominion Resources (D). The commission approved the electricity-natural gas convergence merger, contingent on Dominion agreeing to adopt codes of conduct applying equally to its gas and power marketing affiliates.
FERC's rule changes would apply to other electric utilities with pipeline investments, such as CMS Energy (CMS), Duke Energy (DUK) and American Electric Power Co. (AEP).
It wasn't immediately clear how the changes would affect joint operating agreements, such as the one between Entergy Corp. (ETR) and privately held Koch Industries.
The largest impact will be for large pipeline companies with extensive power marketing operations and investments in power plants.
For example, El Paso Corp. (EPG), Williams Cos. (WMB) and Enron Corp. (ENE), represent about 70% of the interstate pipeline industry, and are among the nation's top power marketers and merchant power plant developers.
The changes under consideration stem from the commission's investigation of El Paso Natural Gas Co.'s controversial contract with a marketing affiliate for pipeline capacity into California.
The affiliate transaction has been blamed for California's dramatic runup in natural gas prices over the past year, which contributed to the state's unprecedented high electricity cost last year.

FERC Grants PD for Tuscarora Lateral, Approves Northern Abandonment
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has issued a favorable preliminary determination on non-environmental grounds to Tuscarora Gas Transmission's Wadsworth Lateral, a 14.2-mile pipeline extension and associated facilities that would increase Tuscarora's transportation capacity by 95,912 Dth/d. The lateral would extend from Tuscarora's mainline in northern Washoe County, NV, to an interconnect with Paiute Pipeline in Nevada.
The expansion of the 229-mile pipeline system, which extends from Malin, OR, to a growing Nevada market, would serve two new power generation facilities in Nevada near Tracy and Wadsworth. Duke Energy plans to construct a 540 MW plant near Wadsworth, and Morgan Stanley is now constructing the 360 MW Naniwa Energy facility near Tracy.
The added capacity also would supplement the growing gas distribution needs of Sierra Pacific Power Co. and Southwest Gas Corp., which collectively distribute natural gas to all of northern Nevada and portions of Northern California.
If FERC approves the application, Tuscarora said it would begin construction in April 2002 and begin service by the end of that year. The $60 million expansion is supported by long-term, firm transportation contracts ranging from 10-to-15 years that are contingent upon completion.
FERC also gave Northern Natural Gas the authority to abandon by sale its far east leg to Wisconsin Gas for use by affiliate Guardian Pipeline. The Northern line runs from Boone County, IA, to an interconnect with ANR in Rock County, WI. It extends to a delivery point near Eagle, WI. This nine mile, 24-inch diameter line is located primarily in Walworth and Waukesha, WI.
FERC has given Guardian Pipeline authorization to eliminate construction of its Eagle lateral, which would have run parallel to the Northern line. The 8.5 mile, 16-inch diameter Eagle Lateral would have run from a connection with Guardian to Eagle, WI, at a delivery point with nonjurisdictional facilities of Wisconsin Gas and Wisconsin Electric.

Enron Corp.'s subsidiary Transwestern Pipeline Co. says it received requests for more than 1.3 Bcf/d of capacity for its proposed Sun Devil Pipeline expansion project that would transport San Juan Basin natural gas production to market areas in Phoenix and California by January 2004.
Transwestern's Sun Devil Pipeline was announced as another of several new western states' gas transportation options. A Transwestern official said the gas-fired electric generation market in Arizona is the second largest growth market in the U.S. The company is working with shippers to finalize transportation agreements and expects to file its Sun Devil application with the FERC early next year. Shippers needing additional information can contact Project Director Kevin Hyatt at 713-853-5559 or email at Kevin.hyatt@enron.com.
Transwestern announced its plans on August 8. The proposed project will include new compression and pipeline looping plus a new lateral, the Flagstaff - Phoenix, Arizona lateral, which would add approximately 175 miles to Transwestern's existing system. The project's estimated in-service date is January 2004. The proposed facility modifications will enable Transwestern to deliver an incremental 780,000 dth/d from the Blanco Hub located in San Juan County, New Mexico to the Thoreau area, an incremental 90,000 dth/d from Thoreau to the California border, and an incremental 450,000 dth/d from Thoreau to Phoenix. Potential supply receipt points from the San Juan Basin at the Blanco Hub are BRT/Val Verde Plant, WFS/Milagro Plant, WFS/Kutz Plant, and TransColorado/Blanco. Transwestern will consider interconnecting with other upstream and downstream pipelines, subject to the mutual agreement of the pipelines. The estimated maximum one-part reservation rates, exclusive of fuel and all surcharges, for firm service through the capacity described in this open season are as follows: San Juan to Thoreau -$.0985 dth/d; Thoreau to California -- $.240 dth/d; and Thoreau to Phoenix -- $0.454 dth/d. (See REPORT NO. 2348, pp6-7.)
Transwestern's Red Rock Project (CP01-115), approved by FERC earlier this summer and under construction, will add 150 MMcf/d of new capacity for deliveries to the California border in mid-2002.

FERC Proposes Rulemaking, Plans Meetings
In the same way your teacher loaded you down with books and assignments on the first day of the school year, new Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Chairman Pat Wood, presiding over his first meeting Wednesday. He put a whole slew of initiatives in motion, setting meetings, rulemakings, and calling for comments.
Sorting it out:
The Commission voted out a proposed rulemaking that which would extend the standards of conduct to fence off federally regulated transmission monopolies, both gas pipelines and electric transmission lines, from any other affiliate, including financial affiliates (see related story). For gas pipelines, which have been unbundled for a number of years and subject to affiliate codes of conduct for an equal number of years, the proposed rule will not be as onerous as it will for electric utilities, many of which are still bundled. This will mean, however, that gas transmission utilities must maintain firewalls between themselves and power affiliates, as well as gas marketing affiliates. Turn in your comments, please.
By its second meeting in October, FERC will have a detailed business plan, including priorities and completion dates for its Oct. 1, 2001 to Oct. 1, 2002 fiscal year. Wood directed a panel of senior staff members and another of junior staff members and union representatives to come up with the plan. The commissioners voted Wednesday to amend their existing five-year plan to emphasize their major new emphasis on market monitoring and mitigation.
FERC will be holding regional meetings on gas and electric infrastructure. It will start with a meeting on the western infrastructure following the Nov. 1-2 Western Governors Association meeting in Seattle. Wood said he expected federal and state regulators, and others to participate. A meeting for the Northeast may be scheduled in December, with sessions for the South and Midwest to come later. Attendance is not mandatory.
FERC will cooperate with the Department of Energy in two technology-oriented sessions, one to explore technology solutions such as remote metering to capturing retail and wholesale consumer demand response in mid-February and another to investigate new transmission technology in mid-January.
Don't be surprised to see a lot of topics debated at FERC's regular open meetings. The sunshine laws which prohibit more than two commissioners from discussing FERC business except in an open meeting, is confining, Wood said. (Usually commission staff runs back and forth among commissioners to establish positions before the meetings). Wood would like to have more discussions out in the open to work things out, and also to let the public know "not just what we are doing, but why we are doing it."
And also, be prepared to pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America from now on at any FERC meeting presided over by Chairman Wood. The chairman also asked for a moment of silence Wednesday for the victims of the Sept. 11 attack.

Proposed Rule Extends Marketing Affiliate Regulations to All Affiliates
Federal Energy Regulatory Commissioners Wednesday agreed to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking broadening the application of standards of conduct for transmission providers, including both natural gas pipelines and power lines, to require separation of the regulated monopolies from any other company affiliate.
Previously, the rules simply required creation of a firewall, including separate operations in separate locations staffed by separate personnel, between gas pipelines and their marketing affiliates. The proposed rule would wall off both gas and electric transmission operations from any other affiliate, gas or electric, including financial affiliates.
The Commission was presented with two options regarding the application of the proposed rule to electric transmission affiliates, which still in many cases have bundled operations. One option would enforce complete separation, while a second would have exempted employees who deal in sales or purchases of bundled retail native load. Staff and Commissioners Wood, William Massey and Nora Brownell appeared to favor walling off all affiliated personnel, so they would not be privy to market information about transmission operations that other non-affiliated competitors did not have access to.
Commissioner Linda Breathitt, however, argued for exempting personnel dealing solely with retail native load. Breathitt said that while she supported the eventual separation of the entities, she was concerned about the timing. "I see no compelling reason at this time; there have been no complaints and no evidence." She said she thought state commissions might consider the move an infringement on their jurisdiction. "I agree with concept philosophically, but I think there will be other opportunities later on, after we do a little more bridge-building with state commissions."
Wood said he understood "the political issue here with respect to federal-state relations, but I think this is an opportunity for discrimination that ought to be eliminated." Staff pointed out that if there were any problems with transmission reliability or if some small utilities had problems, waivers could be granted. Staff was questioned by the commissioners as to how much information was available to affiliate personnel. "If I am an affiliate employee dealing solely with retail native load, I can go into the control room and get all the information I want," one staffer responded.
Wood proposed, and the commissioners ratified, a proposed rule with no exceptions, but which makes clear that in the final rule the Commission may reverse field and determine that separation of employees dealing with sales of native load is not required. Commenting parties should provide cost/benefit analysis on both sides of the question. State commissions are also invited to comment. Wood had suggested the Commission extend the separation to all sales employees, "but make it clear that if we don't hear from people that they really want this separation, we ain't going to do it."

Govt keen to solve Enron crisis

STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE & AGENCIES NEW DELHI/MUMBAI, Sept. 26. An inter-ministerial committee of Union secretaries is monitoring the Enron crisis regularly, to facilitate some kind of early solution to the Enron imbroglio involving the Dabhol power project, the power minister, Mr Suresh Prabhu, said here today, while refusing to divulge the options being explored.
An institutional framework committee, made up of the finance secretary Mr Ajit Kumar, power secretary Mr Ashok K Basu, law secretary Mr R L Meena and the petroleum secretary Mr V N Kaul, has been monitoring the developments on the project front, and regularly interacting with the parties Mr Prabhu said at a briefing.
We want an early solution to the problem, but the Centre has a very restricted role, limited only to facilitate an amicable solution, he said.
Mr Prabhu refused comment on Enron chairman, Mr Kenneth Lays reported letter to the Prime Minister, Mr Atal Behari Vajpayee, seeking $5 billion in damages for terminating the contract, but said if by writing letters problems can be solved, we can also write letters. He said the government and the Cabinet have been kept informed of the status of the negotiations but it would be premature to speak at this stage on the problem which has its genesis in the contract signed in 1992.
DPC AGM: Notwithstanding its depleting financial conditions, Dabhol Power Company has recorded a higher net profit of Rs 208 crore for the year ended 2000-01, compared with Rs 198 crore in the previous year.
Disclosing this at the annual general meeting here today, the Enron India chief, Mr Wade Cline, said that the promoters of DPC would be making efforts to fetch additional finances from the institutions to complete the remaining 10 per cent construction work of the 2,184-MW power project at Guhaghar in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra.
Godbole report: The recommendations of the Godbole Committee, that held renegotiations with Enron on the future of DPC, are likely to remain on paper.
This was clear from the Maharashtra Chief Minister, Mr Vilasrao Deshmukhs post-Cabinet-meeting statement today when he said the government noted certain recommendations of the Godbole panel following several round of talks with officials of Enron-DPC over the past five months.
Mr Deshmukh said these recommendations would guide the government in future while negotiating fresh projects.
The fate of DPC will thus remain undecided. In the last Cabinet meeting, the Maharashtra government announced terms of reference for an inquiry commission, which would be set up to probe the entire Enron-MSEB deal ab initio. However, the government is still to name a retired Supreme Court Judge to head the commission.
Mr Madhav Godbole, a former bureaucrat, had clearly suggested that the panel should call off renegotiations, since Enron had announced its desire to walk out of the DPC. He said other states such as Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi and Rajasthan were ready to purchase Enron power, provided the rate per unit ranged between Rs 2.25 and Rs 2.40. This was rejected by Enron.
Other recommendations noted by the State include: The Union Government which has given counter guarantee of Rs 2,500 crore, should raise bonds of the same amount and give them to Maharashtra as interest-free loan.

US Physical Natural Gas Prices Fall; Light Demand Seen

HOUSTON -(Dow Jones)- U.S. natural gas physical prices fell Wednesday on light demand, as traders hoped to take advantage of cash-outs on pipelines, marketers said.
"Not much is getting done for next month," one veteran trader said. "It's (Tuesday) all over again."
He said traders are hoping they can "get away with as much as possible on those cash-outs and pray they don't get a call from pipelines" asking them to ante up on the $2.15/MMBtu and above prices from earlier in the week.
As for next-month bidding, "everyone was asking," but not much was getting accomplished on baseload trading for October physical gas, a trader said.
Wednesday, prices were at a premium to the New York Mercantile Exchange to start the session, but ended up either in convergence or slightly in contango, he said.
Looking ahead, some incremental demand may be seen next month, as some utilities switch to natural gas from fuel oil and a number of nuclear energy sites go off-line for maintenance, one veteran trader said.
October, a shoulder month, tends to be a major price discount month, he said. On the Nymex there's presently a 42-cent difference between the outgoing October contract and the November contract. The November-November 2002 spread is more than 80 cents.
Wednesday, traders again saw tight ranges as the Nymex October contract traded under the spot cash bid-ask price, which are both at 30-month lows.
Traders are in the midst of a three-day monthly bid week as they set baseload pricing for October.
The Nymex Oct natural gas futures contract expired at $1.83 a million British thermal units, down 9.5 cents. November settled at $2.253/MMBtu, down 4.7 cents.
The American Gas Association said 91 billion cubic feet of gas was added to storage, and the bearish report sparked a selldown in October to $1.76/MMBtu.
At the benchmark Henry Hub in south Louisiana, the delivery point for Nymex gas, prices fell 5 cents-8 cents to a $1.85-$1.92/MMBtu closing range.
First-of-month index for the Henry Hub is around $2.34/MMBtu.
Deals at Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Station No. 65 were done at $2.03-$2.15/MMBtu, up 5 cents-6 cents.
At the Arizona-California Border, where gas from El Paso's pipeline begins delivery to Southern California, buyers paid $1.72-$1.81/MMBtu, down 4 cents-5 cents. Index for September is at $2.66/MMBtu.
At PG&E Citygate, traders paid $1.85-$2.05/MMBtu, down 3 cents on the bid, up 8 cents on the ask. September first-of-month index is at $2.71/MMBtu.
At the Katy hub in East Texas, prices were in a $1.81-$1.87/MMBtu range, down 6 cents. First-of-month September index is $2.37/MMBtu.
At Waha in West Texas, buyers paid $1.65-$1.78/MMBtu, down 3 cents-9 cents. Index is at $2.32/MMBtu, traders said.

Enron unit Transwestern Pipeline has received requests for more than 1.3 bcfd of capacity on its proposed 400-mile Sun Devil Pipeline expansion project, which would bring natural gas from New Mexico's San Juan basin to market in Phoenix, then to California by January 2004. "Sun Devil is an important project that will serve the gas-fired electric generation market in Arizona, which is the second-largest growth market in the US," Transwestern said. The company presently is working with shippers to finalize transportation agreements. It plans to apply with FERC early next year. The company also said its Red Rock pipeline project will make 150 MMcfd of gas capacity available for delivery into California in mid-2002.

Passing Gas: How dancing elephants and smart pigs help heat your home

REVEALED Finding natural gas was once a matter of luck -- surface seeps provided the only real clue. Eventually, though, people realized that seeps often occurred on anticlinal or dome-like slopes, indicating the presence of an underground trap. In the early 1900s, oil companies began relying on geologists to help them read what the rocks had to say, but it was many years before seismic technology could give a picture of rock formations hidden deep in the Earth. These days, specialized vibroseis trucks use mechanical vibrations to create seismic waves. Costing US$350,000 each, the trucks weigh from 18,000 to 30,000 kg and travel in groups of four or five. They are often called "dancing elephants," operating in unison at 100-metre intervals. An on-board hydraulic system presses a central plate against the ground, lifting the truck into the air and vibrating it over a controlled frequency band. The resulting waves are reflected from rock layers in the Earth -- different types of rock reflect waves differently, much as a ball bounced on pavement will bounce higher than a ball bounced on sand. The returning waves are then measured by sensitive geophones, or jugs, strung out every 25 metres along the ground. Supercomputers process the data to generate a 2-D or 3-D picture of the underground structures. In the end, the only sure way to know if gas exists is to drill, but these days the final decision is based on much more than a hunch and a prayer, since so much is at stake: about $900,000, the average cost to complete a gas well in western Canada.
SNIFFED Natural gas at the wellhead contains a potentially poisonous contaminant called hydrogen sulphide, or H2S. Natural gas that contains more than 1% of it is called "sour" gas. It has a strong odour, similar to rotten eggs. About 30% of Canada's total natural gas production is sour, most of it found in Alberta and B.C. By contrast, discoveries in the Arctic and off the East Coast contain less than 1% H2S and are called "sweet." If the gas is sour, it is "sweetened" by converting up to 99% of the H2S into elemental sulphur for use in fertilizers and for export. The remaining H2S is flared, a controversial incineration process that results in the conversion of H2S to sulphur dioxide, which is released into the atmosphere. (An excellent account of the controversy can by found in Andrew Nikiforuk's book Saboteurs: Wiebo Ludwig's War Against Big Oil, to be published this month.) Whether sweet or sour, the natural gas used to heat our homes must be processed before it is pipeline-ready for shipment. Processing occurs at plants close to the production areas or at straddle extraction plants on major pipeline routes. In Canada, there are 837 processing plants, 756 of them in Alberta. The four largest processors are: Husky Energy Inc. (51 plants), Anderson Exploration Ltd. (49), Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (47) and Conoco Canada Ltd. (35).
SQUEALED "Smart pigs" aren't actually pigs. They're sophisticated tools that travel inside pipelines checking for corrosion and evidence of stress or cracking in the pipe. Early versions were called pigs because they squealed as they moved inside the pipe. Propelled by the gas, they travel at speeds from 0.8 to 16 km per hour. Only about six companies in the world build and inspect pipelines with pigs, which have cost up to US$1 million for researchand development. Pigs range in size from 89 mm to 1.4 m in diameter and can be as long as 6 metres. Special pig "launch and trap facilities" are built along the length of the pipeline to allow for insertion and removal at various intervals.
TRAPPED In nature, natural gas, made predominantly of methane -- four hydrogen atoms attached to one carbon atom -- is found mixed with other hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane and butane, as well as hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide. Most experts believe the carbon and hydrogen came from microscopic plants and animals deposited with mud and silt at the bottom of ancient oceans. Over millions of years, the intense pressure and heat caused by growing layers of sediment transformed this organic material into crude oil and natural gas. The sediment itself eventually became porous sedimentary rock. Oil and gas migrate upwards through this rock because they are less dense than the seawater in its pores. You would see the same result if you put a mixture of gas, oil and water in a glass: they would separate according to their different densities. If the gas manages to reach the surface, it is released into the atmosphere. But often it will be stopped in its upward journey by impermeable rock formations, or cap rocks, that trap it in underground reservoirs.
SHIPPED Hidden a metre or more underground, a vast subterranean network of steel pipes and plastic tubes delivers natural gas from the wellhead to the consumer. Almost 80,000 km of gas pipelines link producers in the west to the populated regions of eastern Canada and the U.S. Efficient movement through the pipeline requires transmission at high pressure along the way. Propelled at speeds of up to 40 km per hour, it takes about three days for natural gas from Alberta to reach markets in southwestern Ontario. A voracious U.S. appetite for natural gas has sparked recent additions to the system, such as the $1.8-billion, 1,051-km Maritimes and Northeast pipeline that moves Sable Island gas from Nova Scotia to Dracut, Mass., and the $4.5-billion, 2,988-km Alliance pipeline that links B.C. and Alberta to the Chicago market.
MEASURED In the metric system, joules measure energy content. The joule was named after James Joule, an English physicist who co-discovered the law of conservation of energy: "Energy used up in one form reappears in another and is never lost." One joule is the amount of energy required to heat one gram of water by 1/4 degree Celsius. Since joules are so small, people normally speak in terms of gigajoules, or one billion joules. An average Canadian home would use about 150 GJ in a year, and one gigajoule on a particularly cold winter day. Producers and pipeline operators measure natural gas by volume using cubic metres (or cubic feet, just to confuse the issue). One cubic metre is the size of an average dishwasher. Canada is the third-largest producer of natural gas in the world, producing 162 billion cubic metres in 1999. No. 1 is the Russian Federation (551 billion), No. 2 is the U.S. (540 billion) and No. 4 is the U.K. (100 billion). According to Oilweek magazine, the top three Canadian producers in 2000 were: Alberta Energy Company Ltd. (gas revenues of $2.3 billion), PanCanadian Petroleum Ltd. ($1.6 billion) and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. ($1.3 billion).
DISCOVERED The first natural gas discovery in Canada was at Stoney Creek, N.B., in 1859. The first commercial development came 30 years later, when entrepreneur Eugene Coste drilled a well that supplied communities in Essex County, Ont., near Windsor. By 1904, he had moved west, making history in 1909 with "Old Glory," so-called for the size of its flare, near Bow Island, Alta. This discovery was large enough to justify a 270-km-long, 40-cm-wide pipeline to Calgary, the longest of its kind at the time.
PRICED If Canada has so much natural gas, why did prices hit an all-time high of $16.90 per gigajoule in December 2000, up from $2.63 in January 2000? Simple supply and demand, combined with a cold winter and fears of low storage levels. Since then, prices have fallen to the $4.50 range, partly due to the economic slowdown. Matthew Foss, an economist with the Canadian Energy Research Institute in Calgary, predicts an average price of $3.50 per gigajoule this winter, since storage facilities are at near capacity and new drilling is proceeding: about 13,000 gas wells by year's end.

Heating Bills This Winter to Ease Sharply Utilities: Lower natural gas prices are reducing costs for Californians, but reliance on imports could be a problem in the long run, studies say.

Winter heating bills in California will be substantially smaller than the swollen tabs of last year because of sharply lower natural gas prices and plentiful supplies, utilities said Wednesday.
But the longer-term picture for consumers is not as rosy, despite the recent decline in wholesale natural gas prices.
Two reports released this week warn that California's heavy reliance on imported natural gas, which fuels most of the state's power plants in addition to fulfilling most of its heating needs, could be setting the state up for future energy crises.
For now, the wholesale price of natural gas is dropping along with most fossil fuels, and supplies are plentiful. Natural gas futures slumped to a 2 1/2-year low Wednesday after an industry report showed a bigger-than-expected jump in U.S. inventories.
The American Gas Assn. said supplies in storage rose 3.3% last week to 2.848 trillion cubic feet, continuing a steady build made possible by reduced demand from manufacturers.
In response, natural gas for October delivery fell 9.5 cents, or 4.9%, to $1.83 per million British thermal units on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices have dropped 82% from a Dec. 27 record of $10.10 per million BTU, caused by scant supplies.
Prices in California, which imports 85% of its natural gas from other U.S. states and Canada, peaked much higher in December at about $60 per million BTU. California wholesale prices now are hovering close to the Nymex price.
California was clobbered harder last winter than the rest of the country for several reasons: colder-than-usual weather, heavy use by in-state power plants and reduced pipeline capacity caused by a deadly explosion. In addition, state regulators accused a major pipeline operator, the El Paso Natural Gas unit of El Paso Corp., of manipulating the market; federal regulators have not yet ruled on that case.
"The message this year is much better than it was at this time last year," said Anne Smith, vice president for customer service at Southern California Gas, a subsidiary of San Diego-based Sempra Energy. Southern California Gas' more than 5 million customers paid record prices last year, as did the customers of Sempra's San Diego Gas & Electric and PG&E Corp.'s Pacific Gas & Electric.
Unlike with electricity, the price of natural gas is not fixed for residential and small-business customers. The gas utilities pass along the commodity price to customers with no markup.
Last winter, which runs from November to March in the utility world, the average residential customer of Southern California Gas got a monthly bill of $80. This winter, the average bill is expected to be about $60, Smith said.
The basic commodity cost for natural gas sold to its residential customers for this October, for example, will be 15.9 cents per therm, compared with 57.04 cents last October. (A therm is one-tenth the standard wholesale measure of 1 million BTUs, or about 100 cubic feet of gas.)
Transmission costs, which remain fairly constant year to year, average about 40 cents per therm for the company's residential customers. (The average single-family home uses about 75 therms a month.)
PG&E projects similar cost declines, and both utilities say they have plenty of gas in storage to meet the needs of their core residential and small-business customers.
But problems loom with California's natural gas supply system, according to studies released this week by the California Energy Commission and the California Public Interest Research Group.
The two studies agree that heavy demand has strained the state's delivery and storage systems, but otherwise they had little in common.
The final draft of the Energy Commission staff report, released Monday, noted that utilities already are moving to expand or build new pipelines, and recommended that the state encourage the drilling of more natural gas wells and expansion of pipeline systems within California, among other things.
The CalPIRG report, released Wednesday, advocates that the state deny licenses to any new power plants fueled by natural gas and to encourage renewable energy production through favorable taxation and by requiring that a minimum of 20% of the state's electricity come from wind, solar and geothermal sources by 2010.
"Natural gas is cleaner than other fossil fuels," said CalPIRG's Brad Heavner, the report's author. "But it's not a magic bullet, and by relying on it we are setting ourselves up."

USA: FERC OKs Tuscarora natgas pipeline for Nev, Calif.

09/26/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.
WASHINGTON, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Tuscarora Gas Transmission Co. won preliminary approval on Wednesday from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to build a pipeline to ship natural gas to local distribution companies and electric power plants in Nevada and California.
The pipeline and related facilities would carry up to about 96 million cubic feet per day of natural gas.
The agency must still determine the environmental impact of the pipeline before making a final decision on the project.
Tuscarora owns an interstate natural gas pipeline system that begins at a connection with PG&E Gas Transmission-Northwest Corp., located near Malin, Ore., and extending southeasterly for 229 miles to its terminus in Storey County, Nevada, at the Tracy Power Plant. The power plant is owned by Sierra Pacific Power Co., an affiliate of Tuscarora.
Shipments in the pipeline would be phased in over a two-year period beginning in November, 2002.
Tuscarora Gas Transmission Co. is a partnership between Sierra Pacific Resources and TransCanada Pipelines Ltd.

America's Tragedy: TLU Responds

Alumni Reports - On behalf of TLU and its alumni, staff members have been calling and sending e-mail messages to alumni and friends of TLU who live in New York City and the District of Columbia or who grew up in these regions. As of today, Friday, Sept. 27, we have not heard of any deaths or missing people among those whom we have attempted to call.

 If you hear word of alumni, friends or other members of the TLU community who have been affected by the Sept. 11 tragedy, please e-mail alumni@tlu.edu <mailto:alumni@tlu.edu> or call 830-372-8020 so that we can send cards and spread the word to alumni and the campus. Thank you.

 First-hand Account - Douglas Rosa, 88G, works as the vice president in the Controller's Division of Deutsche Bank, Manhattan branch. The bank's offices are located some 150 feet from the World Trade Center in downtown NYC. Rosa and his family are shaken, but fine. A first-hand account of Rosa's experience on Sept. 11 follows.

 Having worked some 150 feet from the World Trade Center Tower 2, Sept. 11, 2001 was a day unlike any other in my life. I arrived at work approximately 6:20 a.m. and before entering my Deutsche Bank building at 130 Liberty St. (on the south side of the WTC #2 Tower and connected by a walking bridge), I purchased a package of six apple cider donuts from the Farmers Market that, just like any other Tuesday or Thursday, was setting up shop outside WTC #5.

 At approximately 8:50 a.m., I called my wife, Dorothy, home in Caldwell, NJ, from my office on the east side of the 21st floor, to tell her that our building just shook and that there was a large noise - as if a plane had crashed some place near by.

 After hanging up, I was told a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. I looked out my window and saw people running for their lives. There were cars on fire and debris flying everywhere. Our building was getting hit with pieces of the debris, and it sounded like a major hailstorm. We could see this remarkable amount of flame and smoke coming from the hole in Tower 1. I screamed to my co-workers to get away from the windows. At that point, many of us gathered our bags, and began walking down the stairs. As we reached the 7th floor, an announcement was made to stay on our floors, not to evacuate. Knowing that it looked pretty dangerous outside, we went back to floor 21.

 Then another crash came, bigger than the first one. Someone began screaming, "Run, it's coming down."  We all ran to the south side of the floor and waited for the next announcement. When it was finally made, they began evacuating floors 1-7. We waited some more. Everyone was shaking from nervousness.

 Then they announced that everyone (all 41 floors) should evacuate as soon as possible and to use the elevator if needed. We began our descent quickly and orderly.

 As we reached the second floor lobby, we were told to exit the building and head south. And so we did. I headed 10 blocks south to Battery Park and began looking for ways to travel back to New Jersey. People told us that the ferries were still leaving from the World Financial Center, directly west from the WTC, so a co-worker and I began walking north along the Hudson River walkway, through Battery Park. As we approached the ferry dock, everyone around just screamed and began running for cover. I ran straight for the Hudson River and never looked back.

  I jumped over the barrier wall and stood there watching as this mushroom cloud of dust kept chasing me. I decided in my own mind to jump in the water if it reached me. Finally, though, it just stopped coming. Needless to say, the ferry never reached the dock. Tower 2 had fallen, and most of us never even realized that it was no longer up there somewhere behind the smoke and dust. Then the radio confirmed it, and we also heard about the attack on the Pentagon.

 Feverishly, the police directed us further north. As we continued on the sidewalk surrounded by all-glass towers, we were all very nervous. People listened on their walkmans and desperately tried to use their cell phones to reach loved ones. I stopped for an instant to lead a blind woman with a young girl to a policeman.

 Although everyone was nervous, most people kept walking in an orderly fashion without pushing. We continued up the West Side Highway when, suddenly, the Tower 1 gave way. I turned to watch, but quickly turned away and walked even faster. People dropped to their knees to pray. Eventually, I reached another ferry terminal. I waited an hour and a half in line and borrowed several cell phones to call my wife. I never got through to her until I reached New Jersey, though.

  Before I got home that night, I walked and ran a lot more. I even found myself in the middle of a bomb scare inside the Hoboken Train Terminal. I ran to Jersey City and spent the late afternoon hours with my cousin, Sr. Lilian Silkowski, a Roman Catholic nun that lives in Jersey City. I was told that two of her students, siblings, in the parish's high school had lost both their mom and dad. That's when it hit me how many lives had been affected. The parents worked in the upper floors of the WTC. Several other students have been taken out of school because their parents were employed in the WTC and have since lost their jobs, and they can no longer afford the tuition.

When I arrived home at 8 p.m. that evening, I kissed my wife and my kids. I thanked God for getting me home safe.

 As I watch TV, I realize how much danger I was in and thank God for looking after me. The experience has reminded me of all my friends and family. Although we don't always talk, we are connected. Among them are many of my TLU family. My wife and I have been getting phone calls from all of you. From Texas to Chicago to Phoenix to Connecticut to Virginia and South Carolina. Thank you to Gary, Angelique, Kim, Steve, Debbie, Becky, Chris, Mike, Andrew, Shirley, Charlie, Lana, Kim, Alex, Kris, etc. You are my family. It's nice to be able to say that your phone is "ringing over" from love and support. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. I truly believe that they made the difference for me that day.

 For those TLU alumni that are looking for ways to help, may I suggest the following. The families in my cousin's school listed above have many challenges ahead. The school has begun a fund for the two siblings who lost both parents, and the address is as follows: St. Mary's High School WTF Fund, 209 Third St., Jersey City, NJ 07302 attn. Sr. Jacqueline Carey.

 God bless the TLU family and God bless America.

Alumni Event Reports

Women of TLU Reports

San Antonio Women of TLU- The San Antonio Women of TLU met Sept. 8 at the San Antonio Country Club to discuss "Kneading the Dough: Women, Faith, and Financial Resources." Dr. Annette Citzler, professor of economics and business administration, was the guest speaker. This event went very well, with approximately 30 women in attendance. Citzler discussed how and why women tend to be more averse to risk and how to move into the future with a better understanding of our finances.

Dallas/Fort Worth Women of TLU - The Dallas/Fort Worth Women of TLU held their founding meeting Sept. 22 at the home of Marion Brekken, wife of Board of Regent Dr. Alvin Brekken. This Women of TLU brunch, at which President Jon N. Moline spoke, was a great success! There were about 30 women in attendance, and since this was their first meeting, there was a great amount of discussion and many ideas were brought up for future meetings. All the Dallas/Fort Worth-area women are excited to have this group in their area and look forward to their next meeting in the spring.

Houston Women of TLU - The Houston Women of TLU will meet at 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5, for a tour of Rienzi, the former home of Carroll and Harris Masterson. Rienzi is now the Center for European Decorative Arts at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. The day will end with coffee and dessert at Europa Caf?.

Austin Women of TLU - The Austin Women of TLU will meet at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, at the Lakewood Club House. Speaker Ramona Magid from Komen Austin will lead discussion on the topic "Breast Cancer: Helping Yourself, Helping Others."

Seguin-New Braunfels Women of TLU - If you are a member of the Seguin-New Braunfels Women of TLU organization, please note that the program for the Oct. 6 event has changed.

The alums - Virginia Woods, 58G; Betty Jean Jones, 46G; Patt Linden, 60G; plus others - will be joined by a current TLU student. They will each give brief presentations of their own memories of times when America has been vulnerable - Pearl Harbor, the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, Korea and Oklahoma City - before opening the event up to general discussion with everyone in attendance.

Our apologies about the change in program. We will be working to personally contact those of you who have RSVP'd over the next few days to talk to you about the change. The brunch will still begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, in the Timmerman Room of Hein Dining Hall on campus.

On Campus

U.S. News Rankings - Texas Lutheran University has again been listed in this year's U.S. News & World Report college rankings as one of the best comprehensive colleges and the No. 1 value among comprehensive colleges in the Western United States. Among comprehensive undergraduate colleges in the Western United States, TLU was ranked third in overall quality and the No. 1 value. TLU is the highest-rated Texas college in its category. U.S. News has repeatedly recognized TLU as a top quality institution since the magazine began its rankings in 1983.

 This is the second year in a row TLU has been ranked No. 1 for value, posting numbers showing that 61 percent of its students receive grants based on need, with an average discount of 39 percent.

 A complete account of TLU's placement in the U.S. News & World Report rankings is in the Fall Torch, due in your mailbox in October.

Cultural Events Calendar - A vocal performance by a stellar soprano, an art exhibit featuring the works of four international women artists, the traditional Christmas Vespers, and a look at "Scary Frontal Freakin' Skullheads" are some of the highlights of the 2001-2002 cultural events calendar at Texas Lutheran University.

 A calendar of events has been sent to people on the university's arts mailing list. If you would like to receive a calendar, please call the TLU University Relations Office at 830-372-8020. To view it online, please click here:

 <http://www.tlu.edu/> and look under the "Other Updates" section for more information.

Enrollment Up - With official class rosters complete, Texas Lutheran University registered a total student enrollment of 1,473 for the 2001 fall semester. This growth continues a trend of increased enrollment at Texas Lutheran, which has grown steadily since the mid-1990s.

 Numbers show a record main-campus enrollment for TLU, with 1,358 students enrolled in courses on the main campus. Also, 1,257 of those students are full time enrollees - another record for the university.

 The university has set a strategic planning goal of 1,600 full-time students on the main Seguin campus. This number will preserve the university's community feeling, and allow for the small classes and personal attention that are the hallmark of a TLU education.

 This year's average class size is 21, and TLU maintains a 15.5 to 1 student/faculty ratio.

             Other details about the current TLU student body at the main campus:

?        92 percent us hail from Texas, though there are representatives from 25 other states and 16 countries, notably Minnesota and Arizona, as well as Japan and Macedonia.

?        A slight majority - just over 500 individuals - is majoring in disciplines in the TLU College of Professional Studies (business administration, education, kinesiology and social work).

?        Traditional liberal arts majors offered in the College of Arts Humanities and Social Science (art, English studies, psychology, sociology, etc.) come in a close second, with 416 students majoring in those areas.

?        Almost 300 students have selected majors in the College of Natural Science and Mathematics (biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, physics etc.), and just over 200 are undecided.

If you've got the copies, why don't you save them as a form into your system
and use them to draft the Caltex Certificates.  Send them over to Edmund with
the ISDA Master Agreements.  Leave him a message asking him if he could help
you get the agreements and the incumbency certificates signed, then have him
send the certificates to me for Kate's signature.  I think that should do it.


Bob,

I have asked Martin, Zimin, and Paulo to prepare short presentations on the
power, gas, and crude markets, respectively.   This will take probably 45
minutes of class time.    In addition I will prepare some lecture
material.    If we don't have enough class time to cover all assigned
problems, we can just roll them to the next class.

Thanks,

Stinson


Have a good evening.
Robin

Dear Debra:

As promised, here is a redraft of the language on the force majeure point:

"Enron recognizes that, when NEGM is acting as Buyer hereunder, NEGM is
purchasing gas on behalf of certain gas companies (the "Repurchasers") to
whom it immediately resells such gas at the Delivery Point(s).  In addition
to any other circumstances for which NEGM is entitled to claim force majeure
pursuant to this Contarct, Enron agrees that NEGM as Buyer shall be entitled
to claim force majeure if a Repurchaser purchasing gas from NEGM is unable
to take delivery or transport gas from the Delivery Point(s) as a result of
an event of force majeure.  The parties further agree that the term
"Transporter" when used in this Contract, including, but not limited to, in
Sections 4.1. and 11.1, shall include any company acting in the capacity of
a transporter for any Repurchaser and agree that Section 4.3 of the Contract
will apply to invoices from such Transporters for Imbalance Charges received
from such Transporters to the same extent as if such invoices were received
by NEGM, provided that any such Repurchaser scheduled and nominated the same
volumes as Enron and NEGM scheduled and nominated on behalf of such
Repurchaser at the Delivery Point(s)."

Hopefully this reflects our discussions of yesterday and today.  Best
regards, Beth

Good Afternoon Ms. Thurston!!

   Did you make Tony's party????  I hope you did..........I've gotten several calls from Donnell, however, I was a little under the weather over the holiday and still not doing so great.  I had to cancel my dental appointment today, because I'm sure they won't give me the premeds.  They confirmed when I called.  Anywho, I left your home number with Donnell to call you and give you Tony's home number.

Anywho, I hope you and the kids had a great time over the holiday.  I finally left the house on yesterday to go with Stan to visit his parents.  He had to go to work, therefore I was stuck a little longer than I would have wanted to, we played cards so that helped me a lot.

Anywho, I'm working on performance reviews, not sure what time I'm leaving today, but do call.

See Ya!!

Subject: Supervisory Leadership Classes

By now, you should be aware of the Supervisory Leadership Curriculum rolled
out by Greg Whalley a couple of weeks ago (see the posters in our elevator
banks).  This curriculum was designed at the request of senior management to
provide new and future leaders the opportunity to prepare for such roles.
Feedback from the program administrators is that there has been a low
response rate.  This may be due to confusion about eligibility and cost.
Just to clarify - All of you are eligible to participate.  In fact, you are
strongly encouraged to participate.  Further, those individuals within your
groups that are leading efforts or are expected to step into such a role are
encouraged to participate.  Please keep in mind that individuals don't
currently have to be supervisors to attend the training; the idea is to
provide training for new situations encountered as leaders.  Generally
speaking, those at the specialist level and above should be considered for
these classes - just use your judgment.

Although there is a cost associated with these classes, it is minimal in
comparison to the returns that can be gained through participation.
Guidelines are available to help you target specific needs for yourself and
your staff.  Please contact the training department to obtain a curriculum
guide.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Susan

ENA legal -- Kim Bruno is one of the FERC staff that visited the Enron gas

his questions?  I'll set up a conference call if necessary to discuss before

Subject: Enron OnLine

In providing an answer to our questions regarding risk assessment or
management, would you please provide an explanation to the following?  We
understand that EOL requires that a counter party, before accessing EOL to do
business with Enron North America, must undergo a credit worthiness
evaluation.   When a counter party executes or clicks on a price, EOL does an
instant credit check before confirming the transaction.

However, Enron may not only buy from a counter party, it may sell.  What sort
of creditworthiness standards must Enron provide to a counter party utilizing
EOL to purchase from Enron?

Are there industry standard creditworthiness agreements regarding counter
party credit risk that Enron uses?  If yes, may we have copies?  If Enron
utilizes its own agreements, please provide us with a copy.

Thank you.

FYI-

Thanks to the help of Terry Franklin and Dominion Transmission, all our CES
and CEM appalachian pools will now be combined into ENA pools beginning June
1.  Hopefully this should help to alleviate some confusion and hassle for
everyone.   -AZ


I just spoke with Jesse Bryson in Real Time, and he said this should actually
be 2 buy-resales - one from Four Corners to ZP-26, and one from ZP-26 to
NP-15. Let me know how that sounds to you, and I'll enter the deals.

G,

What's new dude. I haven't heard from you so I thought I'd bug ya. How's the
casa/lovelife going. Did you get some water in the casa? You need to come to
Austin with your clubs or swimming trunks. We could rent a ski boat or
something.

Hope you're doing well
George T.


Drew, I wanted you to be aware of a potential dispute with regard to our
consultant, Mark Baldwin of IGS.  Our consulting agreement with IGS (which
has now terminated) provided for a flat fee, plus an incentive fee calculated
using the net present value of any contract "identified by IGS" and entered
into during the term of the consulting agreement.  During the term of the
agreement, TW entered into its Gallup Expansion agreement with Southern.  IGS
is now claiming it brought in the deal and so is entitled to an incentive
fee.  While it is undisputed that Mark discussed the deal with Southern,
Southern was also on Lorraine's list of shippers to contact for Gallup
Expansion capacity.  Also, the capacity was posted for all to see.  So, while
Mark can certainly claim he "identified" the deal, he was not alone in doing
so.

Steve is going to call Mark in response to his letter (after he talks to
Lorraine to verify facts).  Our thinking is that if we offer IGS some money
they will be happy.  We would really like to preserve what has been a good
working relationship with this consultant.   On the other hand, I think we
could probably take the position that they are not entitled to any incentive
fee.  However, since the contract is silent as to whether IGS has to be the
only party bringing in the deal in order to qualify for the incentive fee,
this position is not as strong as I'd like it to be, and IGS might sue TW.
The amount in dispute could be as much as $200,000, depending on what rate we
use in calculating net present value.

If you have any problem with our offering to pay part of the incentive fee to
IGS, let me know.  I think it will be very important for Steve not to admit
that Mark helped in any way in getting the deal -- just in case they do
decide to take us to court.


looks good
