Elizabeth,

Can you please direct me to someone to assist us in making an offer to a
young lady we just interviewed?  We would like to bring her in as a summer
intern the same way that we brought in James Bradley Aimone.

She will be reporting to Stinson Gibner and I believe she is available right
away.

I am attaching her resume.

Thanks for your help.

Subject: Gorons

Don't know who you're voting for, but here some things you might want to
consider-

What is a Goron

   1. Gorons sincerely believe that Vice President Gore is a true
environmentalist, when he has an environmental disaster on his own farm:
a polluting zinc mine, from which he received $500,000 of income last
year.

   2. Gorons likewise believe that the VP is antismoking and anti-tobacco
when  he has operated a tobacco farm for decades and accepted government
subsidies.

   3. Gorons truly believe that Gore is a Vietnam war hero, when in fact
he was  placed by family influence in a "cushy"  correspondent's job and
the only  action he saw was that of his Brownie camera! (and his bong)

   4. Gorons actually believe that Mr. Gore is justified in illegally
raising political funds from the Office of the VP, simply because the
Vanderbilt Law  educated VP claims he was ignorant of the illegality.

   5. Gorons further believe that it was OK for Al to accept large sums
of political money from China through Buddhist monks who had taken vows
of poverty, since he again claimed ignorance.

   6. Gorons also believe that the man who claimed to "invent the
Internet" would be so computationally ignorant that he could lose weeks
of potentially  incriminating e-mail!

   7. Gorons, incredibly, believe Gore's claim that he and Tipper were
the models for the book and movie, "Love Story" even though the book's
author,  Erich Segal, says not.

   8. Gorons, amazingly, believe that Gore will be the consumer's
champion against high gasoline prices although Gore holds a million
dollars in Occidental Petroleum stock.

   9. Gorons applaud Mr. Lieberman's open rejection of President
Clinton's immorality, but believe it was fine for Mr. Gore to remain
silent on the subject, while simultaneously declaring Mr. Clinton "one of
the greatest Presidents of our history."

   10. Gorons believe that Al Gore is an effective leader, when they
won't bother to look at his record as a Tennessee Senator, a record so
ineffective  that it has led to the election of Republicans as BOTH of
Tennessee's  Senators!

   11.  Gorons hold the belief that Gore is a compassionate man who will
be the working man's friend, in spite of the eviction notice he served
to the poor family who complained about the conditions of the run down
slum  house that he was renting to them.

   CAUTIONARY NOTE: Medical researchers acknowledge that Gorons are
generally harmless, except when allowed into a voting booth. There,
unfortunately, overcome by their gullibility syndrome, they are apt to
actually vote for Gore! They should be carefully protected from their
ailment, since it may be  harmful to their well-being, yours, mine and
that of the USA.

   Therefore, PLEASE, heed the Surgeon General's warning, reach out to
aid the Gorons in overcoming the syndrome, and,  PLEASE, pass this on to
your normal  friends, who might also know Gorons who need immediate
treatment.

		 Subject: May O&M Variance questions

Jon,

Following up your two questions this morning, we obtained the following info
from pulling invoices and phone inquiries.

Temp & Contract - Systems Fees ($28) variance

Variance attributable to RC 9701 - Systems Software which budgeted $6.7 and
incurred $34.8 for consulting services and contract support. Discussed with
Steve Findley. The invoices are summarized as follows:

McCorquadale Consulting - $8.2 for commercial maps and web support.
Indu Kilambi Consulting -      $5.1 for general systems support
Idea Integration -                     $8.6 for commercial maps and
documentation preparation
Comsys Consulting -           $12.9 for FoxPro position reporting issues
                                                   $34.8

Major Expense Jobs - Crane System ($106) variance

Variance attributable to RC 7354 - TXNM Crane System which budgeted -0- and
incurred $105.6. Discussed with Gary Wright and Fixed Assets accounting,
waiting on answer from Bobby Garduno.

Review of invoices revealed that only $24 related to Crane Flood (Albritton
Machine, Inc. for pump repair and reconditioning). Garduno to provide
description of flood. Balance of $81.6 related to cleaning and work on Ozona
Tank #1339. Apparently an AFE has been prepared for the Ozona Tank work, but
the AFE has not been approved. If the AFE is approved, these costs will be
capitalized.

Ed,

Please talk to Tana Jones and see if she can get the ball rolling to finalize
the assignment amendment that is on Carol St.Clair's desk.  Basically, I
spoke with Vangie last week, and we agreed to make the effective date of the
assignment JUNE 12, 2000.  That's the last issue at hand.  Please have Tana
(or other legal person) insert the date, get it executed accordingly, and fax
a copy of the signature back to Vangie at Merchant.  Vangie's number is
410-295-1719.  Please ask for her fax number if you don't have it or can't
find it.  [ this assignment is what Christopher Smith worked on with
Vangie...it pertains to gas and financial trades ]

FYI, last week Vangie forwarded to me the second assignment batch pertaining
to power deals.  I'll look at this.

Thanks,
Tracy

Tana,

Before Carol St. Clair left for maternity leave, she was working on the
assignment of some financial and gas deals with Christopher Smith (who
previously worked in our group).  Since Christopher is no longer here and
with Carol being out, I'm scrambling to find out who in the financial team is
working on this.

I've left Mark Taylor a message since Carol's voice mail forwards all
questions to Mark.

Could you let me know if you have any info?

Thx,

Mike, why would it cost $450 to $470/kw for the Moore project?  It is a 4
unit ABB configuration and the turbine costs appear to be in line with Wilton
7EA's on a kw basis.

Dave, the impression we are getting is that Houston thinks this deal is dead

Subject: Moore Power Plant status

The following is a status update of key current items:
1. We continue to try to confirm the viability of the Peoples units.  We have
not received NOx versus water injection data.  We still have not received the
full noise spectrum data.  It looks like the only source for this is ABB and
they're not fast.  Peoples and ourselves are going after ABB on these issues
(and the possibility of a change order on the exciter design which doesn't
meet Ontario specs).
 - we have confirmed that the municipality can provide 600 USGPM of water,
but the silica content has to be confirmed to see if it's a problem.  I met
with Terra Industrial Tuesday and they remain interested in providing the
treated water, but they would have to expand their treatment plant.  They can
provide 1/3rd of the water required and their permit can handle the waste
stream on regen for the full water flow - we're sorting out the optimum tank
capacity versus treatment plant capacity sizing to meet reliability at
minimum cost.  Bottom line is we've got options to handle this water flow and
we can avoid trying to get a permit for waste water.
 - we're going to use the noise consultant EE&CC used in conjunction with
Agra Envir. in Canada to sort out the low frequency noise problem, and check
the other frequencies against our nearest receptor, once we get the data from
ABB.
 - Peoples are checking with ABB on the possibility of a change order on the
exciter design.
2. MCN/Columbus have come back on the other two N2 units - they want another
$1 MM US and can't confirm any changes to the contract.
We are completing our comparison of the Peoples/MCN contracts - the MCN
contract is much better (guarantees, liquidated damages etc.) but of course
power output is less.
3. We kicked off Agra to prepare our permit amendment (using data from both
the Peoples N2's and MCN N2's).
4. NEPCO capital cost estimate will be ready June 9th.  It looks like $2-3 MM
will come out of the base estimate for the N1's due to the acceleration and
winter work coming out.  They still have to do the N2 estimate.  There might
be a chance to push this ahead to the end of the 7th if we were to pressure
them more.
5. We feel we can increase our N1 output up by 6 MW at 90F without
incremental O&M.  The Peoples units would add an incremental 40 MW at 90F.

Using the Peoples units our capital per kW at 90 F is $397 US/kW (using our
original $156 MM incl. IDC estimate less $2 MM).
Using the MCN units our capital per kW at 90F is $443 US/kW.

Issues:
1. We are not getting great support from Houston in many areas, with the
exception of some like Don Miller/Genco.  It appears that some groups like
underwriting/RAC and structuring either are getting the message this project
is not going ahead, or are taking our continued delays in approval to work on
all of their other priorities (hoping that we will go away presumably...).
Schedule becomes more of a concern every day.
2. The Ontario interconnection timing becomes more and more of a concern each
day that passes as OH isn't the fastest working entity.  Aleck and Duncan
continue to work the IMO/OHSC/OEB angles but with some of the rules not set
yet we may need higher level pressure at some time soon.  I'll let you know.


Below is an outline of the materials that each of you are responsible for
developing for Ken's briefing book.  Please have the latest  draft of
materials to me by Friday at 3:00 pm.  I will be giving Steve Kean a draft
briefing book at that time so that he can review it over the weekend.  We'll
have feedback to people by Monday morning and can finalize the book by Monday
evening.

Dear E204-1 and E204-2 students,
Erik Magner has informed me that the academic version of Crystal Ball
that you received does not have the decision variable function that we
discussed in class.  I was under the distinct impression that your version
would have the decision variable function but limited to two choices for
cells that could operate as decisions.  I would suggest that you try
Tools - Crystal Ball Decision and see if your software permits access.
If not, you may have to try several decision choices in separate simulations
(a little more tedious but this is essentially what Crystal Ball would do).
I spoke with the same person at Decisioneering, and she indicated the
student version of Crystal Ball should be able to set up the decision cells
and function correctly (as long as you go through the Tools - CB Decision
steps, not just the simulation (triangular) start icon.  You can test your
software with the attached simulation for airline reservations.

COURT OKS SIX-MONTH LIMIT ON SUITS, REJECTS 10-DAY NOTICE
REQUIREMENT

A provision in an employment contract between a life
insurance company and its agents stating that the agents
would have only six months to bring any claims against the
employer after they left the company was enforceable under
California law, the Ninth Circuit rules, affirming summary
judgment for the employer on the claim ("Soltani v. Western
& Southern Life Ins. Co.,"9th Cir.,  No. 99-56612,  8/6/01).

However, Judge King finds unenforceable a second provision
requiring employees to give Western & Southern Life
Insurance Co. 10 days' written notice before filing a
lawsuit. Finding no valid justification for the provision,
the court strikes it down, finding it unconscionably
deprives employees of a judicial forum.  . . . Page AA-1

ELEVENTH CIRCUIT SPLITS ON VIEW OF FLSA EXEMPTION FOR
COMMISSION PLAN

A painter working for an automobile repair shop may be
entitled to overtime even though he was compensated under a
commission payment plan that is exempt from the requirements
of the Fair Labor Standards Act, a divided Eleventh Circuit
rules ("Klinedinst v. Swift Investments Inc., "11th Cir.,
No. 99-08913-CV-SH, 8/7/01). While agreeing that the
painter's wages constituted commissions, the court remands
the case for a determination of whether his regular rate of
pay was high enough for the FLSA exemption to apply.

Calling the majority's definition of commissions
"expansive," the dissent says there is "considerable doubt"
as to whether Congress intended to shield payment plans such
as the one at issue in this case from the FLSA's
requirements. It argues that the painter was not paid on a
commission basis simply because his compensation was linked
to the amount of time allotted to the job in an automobile
repair estimate. "By any ordinary understanding of the

 PARTICIPANT HAS STANDING TO CHALLENGE PENSION PLAN
AMENDMENT

A participant in a collectively bargained pension plan has
constitutional standing to sue the plan's administrator
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act for
unilaterally amending the plan to grant the administrator
full discretion in determining benefits eligibility, the
Seventh Circuit rules ("Johnson v. Allsteel Inc., "7th Cir.,
No. 00-1504, 8/7/01).

Reversing a lower court's ruling that Charles Johnson did
not have standing to sue Allsteel Inc. for modifying the
pension plan, the Seventh Circuit finds that Johnson
experienced an "injury-in-fact" even though the plan
administrator had not yet adversely exercised its discretion
against him. The plan amendment adversely impacted Johnson
because it decreased his rights under the plan, the court
said.

 "By adding language that granted itself discretionary
authority to determine eligibility under and to construe the
Plan, Allsteel increased the likelihood that Johnson will,
at some point, be denied benefits under the Plan.  This
correspondingly decreased the certainty of his Plan
entitlements, causing him immediate injury, the court
explains. . . . Page A-2

STEEP ENERGY PRICE DROP PUSHES DOWN PPI

Steeply declining energy prices largely were responsible for
a 0.9 percent drop in producer prices for finished goods in
July, according to figures released by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. It was the largest monthly decline in the
finished goods PPI since August 1993, when the index fell by
1.0 percent.

Finished energy goods prices fell 5.8 percent in July, the
biggest drop since August 1989 when they dropped 7.8
percent. The lack of inflation pressures--apparent in both
the latest PPI data and consumer price figures through
June--takes pressure off the Federal Reserve as its
policymakers approach an Aug. 21 meeting where they must
decide whether to lower interest rates  again. . . . Page

FEMALE TRAINER BARRED FROM MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM CAN GO TO
TRIAL

A female head athletic trainer who was told she could not
work with the George Washington University men's basketball
team because "it was a gender issue" should be allowed to
take her employment discrimination claims to trial, a
District of Columbia trial court rules ("Jenkins v. George
Washington Univ., "D.C. Super. Ct., No. 00 ca 3755, 8/3/01).
Rejecting the university's motion for summary judgment,
Judge Zeldon of the District of Columbia Superior Court
finds that Jacquelin Jenkins has sufficient evidence to make
out a gender discrimination claim under the District of
Columbia Human Rights Act, as well as a constructive
discharge claim. The court finds Jenkins "presented direct
evidence of gender discrimination by citing to the alleged
statements" by the athletic director. It leaves for a jury
to decide, however, whether Jenkins experienced an adverse
action. . . . Page A-2

Texas Instruments Introduces Inductor-less Step-Down Charge Pumps for High Efficiency, Ease of Use in Battery-Operated SystemsDevices Offer Industry Leading Output Current Drive of 250mA   DALLAS, Nov 19, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- A new family of step-down charge pumps from Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN) (TI) brings power efficiency and ease of use to battery-operated systems and PC peripherals. With its high output drive and built-in protection features, the new charge pumps offer savings in board space and system cost. Being the first step-down, or "buck", charge pumps introduced by TI, the new family of devices extends TI's comprehensive portfolio of power-supply solutions for low-voltage applications including personal digital assistants and Internet audio players. (See power.ti.com/aap7037u ).   The new TPS6050x step-down charge pumps offer regulated output voltages ranging from 0.8 to 3.3 volts (V) in order to power low-voltage components in portable and bus-powered systems. The charge pumps take an input voltage range from 1.8V to 6.5V, enabling use with a variety of battery types. Additionally, a low quiescent current of only 40 microamps (uA) allows for longer standby times. At 250 mA, the family provides the highest output current in the industry and is capable of supporting multiple components within a system. Finally, with the TPS6050x, only four small ceramic capacitors are required to build a complete high-efficiency charge pump power converter, thereby saving board space and cost.   "With the introduction of step-down charge pumps, TI expands its existing line of linear regulators and inductive step-down converters offering a more complete selection of voltage regulator solutions," said Guenter Sporer, systems engineering manager for Low Power DC-DC Converter Products at TI. "With low-voltage applications becoming more specialized, customers know that they can rely on TI for power supply solutions that meet their system requirements."   Efficiency and Ease of Use   The TPS6050x step-down charge pumps offer operating efficiencies comparable to inductive buck converters, yet with the ease of use that is customary with linear regulators. Peak efficiencies of 90 percent are achieved by utilizing a fractional conversion topology resulting in lower power dissipation and eliminating the need for heat sinking. Supporting system flexibility, the devices can be powered by three or four nickel-cadmium (NiCad), nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) or alkaline batteries, or by a single lithium-ion (Li-ion) cell.   Requiring few external capacitors and no inductors, TPS6050x charge pumps simplify design and allow for a complete converter to be built in only 0.155 square inches (in2). To prevent current leakage and prolong battery life, the load is isolated from the battery during shutdown. Added protection features include a soft start to limit in-rush current, a Power Good output voltage supervisor, over-temperature and over-current protection.   Available Today   The TPS6050x step-down charge pumps are now available in a 10-pin MSOP package from TI and TI authorized distributors. Suggested resale pricing is $1.35 each in quantities of 1,000. An evaluation module (EVM) is available today to help simplify system design and speed time to market. Regulated output voltages for the TPS6050x devices are as follows:   TPS60500   Adjustable 0.8V to 3.3 V      TPS60501   Fixed 3.3 V      TPS60502   Fixed 1.8 V      TPS60503   Fixed 1.5 V  Texas Instruments Incorporated is the world leader in digital signal processing and analog technologies, the semiconductor engines of the Internet age. The company's businesses also include sensors and controls, and educational and productivity solutions. TI is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and has manufacturing or sales operations in more than 25 countries.   Texas Instruments is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol TXN.

Hi Joe,

I'm actually out of town today visiting family.  I just wanted to let you know that Kathy is pretty up to date on where I stand with the west curves.  What little information I do have was only obtained Wednesday afternoon, so not to much has been entered in to the file.  It appears we have quotes from at least one broker for the following days: 12/12/01-12/21/01, 12/31/01, 01/02/12.  I have talked to a few people from west-risk who are trying to track down more information.  I will forward the emails with attachments which I have recieved to yourself and feel free to grab what I have printed out from my desk (all data is simply sitting in front of my keyboard).  I have printed out all the days we currently have and attached the sheet confirming which broker provided the information and on what day.  Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Susan

Please reply back and let me know if you recieved the information as I am having some difficulty with my email.

Kay -

What's the best way to have this covered by warranty?  9000 hours is
significantly beyond the 12 month warranty period; however, since the notice
occurred during the warranty period, would filing a warranty claim help cover
the replacement?

Ross, what is the normal recommended replacement criteria for the row 3
blades, in terms of run hours?  Is it significantly more than 9000 hours?

Thanks,

Mitch

Dear Mr. McCormick,

Attached below is Technical Advisory 2000-014 which is applicable to the
above subject unit(s).  The purpose of this TA is to recommend replacement
of the original W501F Row 3 turbine blades with blades of a new blade
design.

During the 1996-1998 time period shroud lifting and cracking has been
observed on several W501F Row 3 turbine blades.  The issue was attributed to
high local temperatures and stresses in the Z-shroud area of the blade.

Please let us know as soon as possible what your plans are relative to
implementation of this Advisory.

Very truly yours,
 <<...>>

Subject: Gathering Contract Volumes Feb 00

We have been looking at the daily volumes for the gathering contract to
analyze the Producer Services portion of the P&L.  To do this, we have been
looking at daily volumes on the 96026572 contract.  POPS shows a daily BAV of
approximately 612,000.  MOPS shows a daily BAV of approximately 601,000.  I
wanted to confirm that these volumes sound reasonable for you.  By the way,
it also looks like the noms for the gathering contract are a lot higher,
around 750,000 per day.

Please advise as to how you feel these BAv's come in compared to what you
expect.  Thank you.

Joe, Christi, & Mary --

Do you think that it makes sense for the four of us to sit down with this
report the day after it comes out and discuss (1) Enron's perspective, (2)
should/are we participating, and (3) key commercial / regulatory that need
the information?

I am trying to make sure that everything is covered appropriately and maybe
this is the right format - unless you guys can think of something else?

Jim

Activity levels in Credit Risk Management (CRM) have never been higher due to
very volatile commodity markets, growth in EES and many other factors. In
order to address these market changes, effective now, Ken Curry will transfer
from Rick Carson's Due Diligence group to CRM and report to Bill Bradford.
Ken has a strong background in credit related issues and should be able to
immediately add value to the CRM group.

It is fortunate that adequate depth exists within RAC to be able to realign
personnel as market needs suggest. Please join me in congratulating Ken on
his move and in wishing him success in this new assignment.

The Choice program storage is to be negotiated by CES-Retail.  In fact, our
agreement with CES Retail says that they will give us actual volumes for our
storage schedule by March 15.   Chris, have you called CES to see how they're
coming along with the schedule?  It would be a nice, gentle reminder to call
them a week in advance (which is today), so they can start putting it
together.

Subject: SST Storage Injection Contract for Choice - PLEASE READ

To ensure we are all on the same page... how does the renewal of this
contract work for April 1?

If I remember correctly, the injection contract is from April 1st to October
31st. Who negotiates this with the CDC???

John Hodge thought it was Doug Mckinney in Herndon. However, the storage
becomes Enron's on April 1st. So... does Enron negotiate?

Chris, Scott, and Doug... please determine how this will be coordinated.
Don't want this to fall through the cracks.... due to the transition.

Thanks for your help!!!

from NGI's Daily Gas Price Index Dec 13, 2000

In an attempt to capture the price discovery offered in the rapidly expanding
electronic exchange market, NGI is adding a new price report to its website.
"NGI's Electronic Platform Trading Index" will be comprised of deals done
each morning before 11:30 a.m. Central Time and will be published on its
website at http://intelligencepress.com by 1 p.m. Central Time each business
day.

The new service starts today with independently-audited quotes from
EnronOnline. NGI is actively soliciting quotes from other exchanges, which
will be added as they become available. NGI will compile an index (NGIX) from
the data submitted. To become part of the exchange index, please contact
Dexter Steis at 703-318-8848.

NGI will continue to publish the results of its own extensive price surveys,
which include both off-line and online transactions. The separate publication
of the electronic indices is intended as a supplement to provide information
on the rapidly growing exchange trading in a timely manner. The electronic
exchange indices will be available on NGI's website at mid-day and also will
be printed in the next day's NGI's Daily Gas Price Index.

To: Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation Customers and
Shippers

Re: System Imbalance Notice

Please be advised that Transco has been experiencing excessive
negative transportation imbalances (deliveries in excess of
receipts) on its system throughout the month.  Effective
immediately, shippers are advised to avoid any additional
negative imbalances and return to a balanced position.  Absent
voluntary compliance, it may become necessary for Transco to
suspend make-up deliveries for the remainder of the month.

Additionally, effective October 26, 2001 and until further
notice, Transco will institute more restrictive practices at its
pooling points.  Transco will reduce the 4% tolerance currently
allowed at its pooling points to 1% or 1,000 dts for Shippers
with negatively scheduled imbalances (i.e. deliveries into the
pools are less than receipts away from the pools).  Shippers with
positively scheduled imbalances at their pools will be held to
the 4% tolerance levels. Transco will not enforce these pool
imbalance tolerances during the timely nomination cycle; however,
Shippers are expected to balance their pools to the limits
identified above by the ID2 nomination cycle.  Transco may
proactively decrease markets to bring them in line with supplies
at pooling points.

If you have any questions, please call Terry Fitch at (713) 215-
3361 or John McGrath at (713) 215-2514.

?Issued?April?26,?2001
?
ELECTRIC?/  HYDRO?Report:

?
COMMISSION ESTABLISHES PROSPECTIVE  MITIGATION
AND MONITORING PLAN FOR  CALIFORNIA WHOLESALE
ELECTRIC  MARKETS

San Diego Gas & Electric Company, et al., Docket Nos.  EL00-95-012, et al.
(04/26/01)
[View  Order]
[View?complete  press release]
?
(the following is excerpted from FERC  press release)
?
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission announced a plan designed  to
bring price relief to the  dysfunctional California electric market, provide
greater price
certainty to buyers and sellers of  electric power, and promote conservation
while
encouraging investment in generation  and transmission.
?
The California plan, striking a  balance between energy suppliers and
consumers,
provides for forward-looking price  mitigation, ongoing market monitoring and
development of demand reduction  programs. Prices should be mitigated before
they are
charged, not after, be  market-oriented and adopt market solutions, the
Commission said.
The plan will be in place for a  period not to exceed one year.
?
Chairman Curt L. H,bert, Jr. said,  "Today's order reflects bold and
imaginative
thinking by the Commission staff and  my colleague, Commissioner Linda K.
Breathitt.
California consumers can rest assured  that the Commission has been attentive
to their
problems, and has worked tirelessly  to ensure that they receive necessary
relief in a
manner that does not compound current  problems or undermine longer-term
solutions."
?
The mitigation plan directs the  California Independent System Operator (ISO)
to
file a regional transmission  organization (RTO) proposal with the Commission
by June 1,
2001.

?
COMMISSION ACCEPTS OUTLINE OF BROAD  WESTERN RTO, ITC;
NOTES IMPORTANCE OF INTERRELATED  WESTERN ENERGY MARKET

RTO West, Docket Nos. RT01-35-000 and RT01-15-000
(04/26/01)
[View  Order]
[View complete press  release]

?
(the following is excerpted from the  FERC press release)
?

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission today  accepted as a "first step" key
parts of a proposal for a broad regional  transmission organization (RTO)
that will span
eight western states. Today's order also accepts a  proposal for an
independent
transmission company (ITC) within the RTO structure  (RT01-15-000).
?
Noting the recent power market problems experienced  in California and
throughout the West, the Commission emphasized the  regional nature of the
electric
marketplace and said these issues highlight the  substantial benefits that an
RTO will
provide. RTO West can serve as an anchor for the  ultimate formation of a
West-wide
RTO, the Commission said.
?
RTO West, a non-profit organization with an  independent board that will act
as
the independent system operator, includes Avista  Corporation, the federal
utility
Bonneville Power Administration, Idaho Power  Company, Montana Power Company,
Nevada Power Company, Pacificorp, Portland General  Electric Company, Puget
Sound
Energy, Inc. and Sierra Pacific Power Company  (RT01-35). RTO West will
operate
more than 90 percent of the high voltage  transmission facilities from the
U.S.-Canadian
border to southern Nevada, the Commission noted.  The RTO will not own
transmission
facilities, but will control each participating  owners' transmission
facilities.
?
In today's order, the Commission addressed RTO  West's proposals on
governance,
scope and configuration, and liability  issues.

I didn't get this e-mail until today  (I mean I hadn't downloaded anything
for a couple of days and therefore didn't even know it was there).  If I had
seen it, I wouldn't have made the comments I made at the dome about wanting
to hear what you had to say about the very things you specified in your
e-mail you didn't want to hear.  You must have thought I was deliberately
going against your wishes and I apologize for that.  If you remember, the
last time we had talked about the problem re energy, you were not reluctant
to discuss it so I thought something had happened at the dome that needed to
be straightened out.  So, as I stated above, if I had seen your e-mail
before going to the dome, I would have understood what was going on.

one small request:  i'm pretty frazzled with work, school, etc. and am
looking forward to relaxing and hanging out with you guys.  it would be
great to talk about anything other than 1) the electricity crisis and 2)
george w. bush.  i figure we can talk for hours about how to get the

The Counterparty System indicates that Louis Dreyfus Energy Corp. CP#84 and CP #31950 were made inactive.  There is no reference to any other counterparty in the way of a merger, amalgamation etc.

Can you verify this information because we have an active contract in Global between Louis Dreyfus Energy Corp and CMI K#95000446.

California Power Plants Get Jolt
As Natural-Gas Supplies Are  Cut

By Rebecca Smith
Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal

LOS ANGELES -- Southern California power plants, already stressed to their
limits last summer, got another jolt this week as a cold snap caused a sharp
curtailment of supplies of natural gas used to generate electricity.

The power plants were able to switch to burning oil and continue to produce
electricity. But the unusual curtailment of natural gas underlines concerns
that  an increased reliance on gas for power generation across the U.S. is
putting the  reliability of the nation's electricity supply at risk.

That's because virtually all power plants now under construction in the U.S.
burn gas and only gas. The units affected this week in San Diego were able
to  shift to oil only because they were older plants that originally were
constructed to burn oil. Generators have been reluctant to add a dual-fuel
flexibility to plants in recent years because oil is far more polluting than
gas  and generally has been costlier.

In California, where gas-supply problems first surfaced on Monday in San
Diego, there is pessimism about a Hydra-like energy crisis that seems to
grow  new heads every day. The state weathered three-dozen electrical
emergencies last  summer, caused by a shortage of electricity. Officials had
hoped to solve the  problem by speeding up construction of new generating
plants. Now, they're  finding the state may be building its way out of an
electrical problem and into  a gas problem.

One official, who has been warning of the danger of reliance on a single
fuel, said this week's disruption pointed out the necessity of developing a
comprehensive energy policy that recognizes how changes in usage of oil, gas
and  electricity affect each other. "We don't just need new generating plants
and  transmission lines, we may need pipelines, too," said Terry Winter,
chief  executive officer of the California Independent System Operator, the
organization responsible for maintaining adequate electricity supplies. "You
can't look at these things in isolation."

The natural-gas problems surfaced when the local gas-distribution company,
San Diego Gas & Electric Co., notified power-plant operators and a handful
of industrial users that it would be restricting their gas use by about half.
In  California, residential and small businesses have first crack at natural
gas,  and industrial uses are regarded as secondary, even if they are
generating  plants. Dynegy Inc., the Houston-based energy concern that owns
some of the older plants that serve San Diego, immediately switched to oil.
But  it didn't like doing so; its plants create three times as much pollution
when  they burn oil and exhaust valuable air-pollution emission credits that
power  plants here need to operate.

The San Diego units couldn't simply be shut down, because the state was
short  of power. Roughly 30% of the state's capacity already was off-line,
including  many of its nuclear units, as most of those plants are now
undergoing repair  after being run at capacity limits throughout the summer.

What's more, the gas-pipeline system that feeds San Diego isn't big enough
to  begin with. The system was built primarily to serve residential customers
and  not big power plants.

The problems could persist, off and on, through the winter. That's because
gas-storage levels are down sharply from a year ago throughout the nation,
but  especially in California, because it ran its gas-fired units so hard
last  summer. This time last year, Southern California had 87 billion cubic
feet of  gas in storage. Now, it's roughly 50 billion cubic feet, or 43%
less. Prices  also have moved up sharply, from roughly $2.50 a million
British thermal units  to around $8 this week. Nationally, storage levels are
down about 8% from a year  ago.

"Gas is trading higher in California than anywhere else in the nation," said
John Lavorato, chief operating officer of Enron North America, a unit of
Enron Corp. of Houston. But he said they're headed up  in the Northeast,
based on cold weather forecast for the next 10 days to two  weeks.

High prices for fuel also push up prices for the end product, electricity.
In  California the average price for electricity to be delivered Thursday was
$228  per megawatt hour. That's double the price a week ago and five times
the price a  year earlier.
