There's No Going Back
California is again suffering from electricity shortages, but a return to
the regulated monopolies of the old days isn't the answer.

     California's electricity market is a mess. First a hot summer in the
south brought shortages and skyrocketing prices. Now the state is threatened
with another wave of rolling blackouts stemming from elevated heating
demands caused by a cold snap and from power plants being out of service.
Californians may even be asked to turn off their Christmas lights to
conserve energy.
     Deregulation of the industry in 1996 is being blamed for California's
energy crunch, to a large extent justifiably. The rules under which the
"deregulated" market has been operating, combined with woefully insufficient
power generation capacity, have allowed some power providers to make a
killing at the expense of consumers. Because electricity was plentiful in
1996, the state froze all new power plant construction in the belief there
was enough capacity to meet future needs. Going back to privately owned or
state-run monopolies, however, is not the answer. Rather, the rules have to
be changed to give the utilities more freedom in buying and selling
electricity and to encourage power generators to build new plants in the
state. For their part, consumers should conserve more electrical power.
     The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which controls the wholesale
electricity market and drives deregulation nationwide, has drawn up rules
aimed at bringing relief to consumers as soon as the changes are adopted. In
the long run, however, it is up to the state to streamline and speed up
procedures for approving new power plants. It takes years just to comply
with rigid environmental laws and get all the paperwork done.
     The reason California led the way in electricity deregulation is that
the old monopoly utilities were inefficient and their rates were among the
highest in the country. Re-creating that system, aside from the cost, would
return the state to the sluggish monopolies. It would do nothing to solve
the underlying problem of insufficient power supply. New capacity would
still have to be built to accommodate the booming economy.
     The cornerstone of the federal proposal is the elimination of state
rules that have forced utilities such as San Diego Gas & Electric Co., the
guinea pig in the deregulation experiment, and Southern California Edison to
buy or sell most of their load on the highly volatile spot markets. That
prevents them from entering into long-term contracts that would make supply
more reliable and prices more stable. Power suppliers, aided by spikes in
demand, used the state restrictions skillfully to drive up prices. Los
Angeles was spared the high cost and power shortages because its city-run
utility, the Department of Water and Power, is not subject to the illogical
state market restrictions.
     Other federal proposals would overhaul the state's power transmission
and exchange agencies to make them independent of the power generators and
utilities and require them to report noncompetitive market behavior. The
federal government could then require sellers to refund their ill-gotten
gains.
     Gov. Gray Davis was right in telling the federal energy commission last
week that the market rules have been manipulated in California to generate
"obscene profits" for power suppliers. But he was wrong in suggesting that
the state should regain control of the industry. The market behaved
according to the flawed rules the California Legislature wrote for it. The
federal proposal would go a long way toward fixing the problem. Sacramento,
meanwhile, should encourage energy conservation programs and the development
of alternative and renewable power sources.


Jeff - Can you answer Jess's question?  I wondered the same thing myself.  It doesn't make much sense to raise the rates in order to make payments to the customers.

Well, this is interesting.  Are they talking about the same period during which gas costs were supposed to have been so unreasonably, and allegedly illegally, high due to the actions of those greedy Texas energy firms?

NGI's Daily Gas Price Index
published : August 10, 2001
SoCalGas Posts $223 Million in Gas-Cost Savings
California regulators may be scratching their heads about what to do with gas purchasing incentives for the state's major utilities following Southern California Gas Co.'s filing that claims its purchases over a 12-month period ending last June were $223 million below market prices.
It was the "largest amount of savings on gas costs during any one-year period in our 134-year history" of SoCalGas, which is owned by San Diego-based Sempra Energy, according to Anne Smith, a vice president quoted in a report to the company's employees.
Under a regulator-approved "gas cost incentive mechanism (GCIM) that has been in place in recent years, the utility can apply a formula allowing it to share the savings between customers and shareholders." It's an incentive to the utility "to take reasonable risks to keep gas costs low, while ensuring a reliable supply," SoCalGas's director of gas acquisition, Jim Harrigan, told employees in the recent report.
With this relatively embarrassing "windfall" for shareholders, the utility recommended to the California Public Utilities Commission in June two options for spreading the wealth:
1.	Give shareholders a relatively modest $30.8 million and make the utility's proposed adjustments to the GCIM program in future years. The modifications were agreed to many months ago in a settlement among SoCalGas; the CPUC; the Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA); and the statewide utility consumer group TURN (The Utility Reform Network); or
2.	Award $106 million to the utility's shareholders, which is what SoCalGas says is the shareholders' share under the current GCIM formula.
Both options carry proposed rate increases to implement them. The first would necessitate a 44 cents/month increase for a 12-month period, while the second alternative would require a $1.52/month hike for one year.


Good Afternoon,

Any GCP Adjustments will be highlighted in blue.  Please feel free to give me a call, if you have any questions.

Scott--The volumes delivered into Central Hudson off Iroquois for Arma
Textiles
was included in Exhibit 1 of the 12/99 Energy Purchase Agreement such that it
would appear that Enron would be supplying this gas to CES.   However, the gas
to supply Arma was already purchased from Duke Energy, and as far as I can
tell, Enron has had nothing to do with delivering this gas, and Duke Energy
has
billed us directly for the gas that they supply each month.

I discussed this with Chris Germany, and we agreed that CES would just deal
directly with Duke Energy on this and leave Enron out of it.    Accordingly,
if
you look at the May'00 first-of-the-month request that I sent to Enron on
April
24, the table does show 135 dth/day into Central Hudson off Iroquois.
However,
the table notes that this gas is being supplied by Duke Energy and therefore
no
volumes are being requested from Enron.

Please let me know if this needs further action or clarification.

Thanks.

Enron is probably not familiar with the deal as they did not have to make
any
nominations.  Although, the deal was documented each month on the memos and
spreadsheets that were sent to Enron.  I do not have a contact at Duke.  It
was
my understanding that both parties (Duke and Arma) knew the deal was a

When I was assigned Central Hudson in January I was told that there was one
customer behind the gate and that was Arma Textiles.  Arma was backed 100%
by a
Duke purchase that subseqently went with the Enron sale.  I was informed by
the
previous scheduler that all CES did was to make the nomination based on GMS
at
bidweek.   It was a stand alone deal that CES nominated based on GMS.

Kim,

 I am in the process of assigning this customer to a new marketer. A
review of the file shows a recent correspondence concerning tariff gas
purchased by Arma between Kurt Marburger & Charlie Dalphon. Are you able to
shed any light on the issue? There is a significant outstanding balance and
I
believe the customer has made the decision to stop payment until credits
are
issued for the tariff charges.

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steve, Rob Hemstock  will give you the details of the Alberta PPA auction.
The only other auction type mechansims of which I am aware in Canada  with
respect to power supply are the following:
a) Ontario electricity
distributors have the  choice of purchasing power  for their default
service customers ( called "standard supply customers" here) either
directly from the IMO real-time market or from a third party supplier.  If
the distributor chooses to secure power from a third party supplier the
distributor must employ a formal, transparent and auditible RFP process.
Many Ontario distributors may opt for third party supply precisely because
they want to avoid  cash flow problems comparable to those facing the
California IOUs - that is, if an Ontario distributor chooses to buy
directly from the real time spot market, it must supply that power to
default customers at a  rate fixed by the provincial regulator - the
Ontario Energy Board ("OEB") -  and record the difference between the
purchase cost and the rates charged in a deferral account.  The amount in
the deferral account will be debited or credited to customers periodically.
However,   the  OEB has fixed the default service rate too low and,
accordingly, distributors opting for supply  directly from the IMO real
time spot market may face very serious cash flow problems.  The term of the
third party supply that may be secured in this fashion is unclear, but as
matters stand in Ontario there may be significant regulatory risk in
securing supply more than 1 year out.  (This was the first issue in respect
of which Enron retained Seabron Adamson and Seab knows the issue well);

b) An auction/RFP  process is also included in the
"restructuring" plan recently adopted by the Quebec National Assembly in
respect of Hydro Quebec.  The key features of that plan are the following:
1) a  long term vesting contract between HQ Generation and HQ Distribution
under which HQ Generation is obliged to supply HQ Distribution up to 165
twh annually;  and 2) the requirement that HQ Generation secure any supply
it needs over and above the vested amount  through an RFP process to be
approved by le Regie ( the provincial regulator).

You are right.  I did misunderstand.  Sounds great to me and just for my
information, what day and time is your group fasting?

Subject: Re: Frontliners

I'm sorry if you misunderstood me, but what I was trying to convey was that
Rev. Jacque ask that we communicate with our assigned organized group
by-way of calling three way every Tuesday night if possible and to lift up
the concerns that was given to us in the hand-outs and also anything else
that God lays on our heart.

The time that you have set aside for fasting sounds great. Rev. Jacque
mentioned in the last meeting that we would discuss a time for all so that
we could be on one accord. I think what Rev Jacque wants most for all of us
is to start communicating and being on one accord even when we're not
assembled together on Monday night.

 I would think that if we're praying on Tuesday's and fasting on
Wednesday's, there will be some definite strongholds torn down. What do you
think?

Matthew 18:20 states "For where two or three are gathered together in My
name, I am there in the midst of them".

Greeting My Dear Sisters In Christ,

It has been suggested by our Prayer Ministry Leader that we establish a
common time for our Organized Units to pray. It seems as though Tuesday
night at 9:30 pm would be the  most convenient, at this present time.

It is my discernment that tonight should be our starting date. Please make
every attempt to comply with this endeavor in order that we may attack the
strongholds and be unified in  the body of Christ.

If this is not conducive for your schedule please suggest an alternative.

Be Blessed
Edith:-)

Steve, given yesterday's conversation toward the end of the executive
committee - i.e., countries ENE will do business in - do you think we should
try to set up another policy committee meeting?  Jeff's schedule is pretty
ugly for the rest of this month and early July, but could probably do
something mid-July.  I'm not sure what Ken Lay's schedule looks like,
though.  Please advise.  Thanks, SRS

Chris --

Given this development, now may be the right time for Enron to come in and
make a "public" offer to SDG&E.  We may be able to put some pressure on the
CPUC to approve a full requirements offer that works with the legislative
rate cap.

I'll be in contact with you to discuss.

Surprise, surprise.

SDG&E is afraid to do anything without the pre-approved reasonableness from
the CPUC which I don't think will be obtained.

page_numbers:  page 11, line 13 - page 18, line 10
request_text:  The JCG proposes to eliminate WP-02-E-BPA-65 and
WP-02-E-BPA-74, except for page 1, lines 1-22 and page 8, line 4 to page 9,
line 17.  The JCG, however, has filed testimony on the same central issue for
which it finds BPA,s testimony objectionable.  Why is it necessary to
eliminate either BPA,s or the JCG,s testimony when Section C.1. of the
Partial Stipulation and Settlement Agreement provides that &no Party shall be
deemed to have approved, admitted or consented to the facts, principles,
methods or theories employed in arriving at the terms of this Partial
Settlement Agreement or the Parties, Proposal, nor shall any party be deemed
to have agreed that any provision of this Partial Settlement or Parties,
Proposal is appropriate for resolving issues in any other proceeding
regardless of whether the Parties, Proposal or Partial Settlement is adopted
by the Administrator, except as expressly provided in this Partial
Settlement8?  Please provide a complete explan!

ion why it is absolutely necessary to eliminate any currently filed testimony
and please provide any alternatives to eliminating such testimony considered
by the JCG.
response_text:  OBJECTION

Data Request BPA-JCG:012 was not properly served and is otherwise
objectionable.  The Joint Customer Group objects to the above Data Request,
as it seeks information about why the Joint Customers contend that the
testimony is inconsistent with the Partial Settlement.  Whether BPA's
testimony is consistent or not with the Partial Settlement is not the proper
subject of a data request.

David Parquet asked me to forward these answers to you:
Question:
Is the major maintenance reserve estimate based on a negotiated Long Term
Services Agreement (LTSA)?  If so, will it be in place and transfer with
PEF?
Answer:  We have not negotiated an LTSA with anyone at this time, and we do
not expect to have one in place to transfer with PEF.  The maintenance
reserve is our estimate based on industry data and information from GE.

Question: Are spare parts for the first major overhaul included anywhere in
the
capital cost estimate or are they assumed to be purchased through the
maintenance reserve estimate (i.e. the LTSA) charge?

Answer:  The maintenance reserve is intended to include parts and labor for
the overhaul.

Rebecca,

I share some of your concerns regarding Mr. Sud. He is retired and he chose
to contact us rather indirectly (or on the spur of the moment).
I understand  that things are done differently in different cultures but I
did not meet him and could not
form my judgment based on personal observations.

However, the information  he gave us seems to be too important not to convey
to you and not to act upon.

Vince Kaminski


This is a call out meter.  I think the best person to help you would be Kathy
Benedict in Volume Management.

Subject: Copano P/L 01/00 - S93481

Daren, I'm looking at S93481 for 01/00.  3,461 mmbtu was scheduled to Copano
P/L in 02/00 and the counterparty was paid.  In 05/00 the volumes were
reversed from this deal.  Would you be able to tell why they were reversed?
I'm trying to determine if this is a valid recoverable item.  Thanks.


Could you in the future please put trade dates and book codes on the
spreadsheet? Thanks!!!


Get me a ticket and I'll see what I can do...I call later.

Per Leslie Hansen, above counterparty will not be approved to trade power
online.  She said she spoke to counterparty and they are a distribution
company and not FERC approved to sell power.  So we will not change that
profile.


Attached is your actual form.  I did not have a totally blank one to forward,
as I have actually done work on all evals on my disk.  So I am sending yours
so that you can erase your data and use this as a template.  Hope this works!


I'll try to give you a call tomorrow

Britt- great memo.  I'm sure you guys are in the course of discussing these
very issues, but here's my two cents worth.
1.  Once we decide on an optimal forum, the key step before filing a lawsuit
is the assessment of our probability of success--for different reasons than
is usually the case.  We need to weigh the chances of a favorable judgment
against El Paso against the probability and extent of collateral damage to
our defense (not just TW but all of GPG) in Quinque, et al.
2.  I like our case a lot based on what I've seen so far--if I've got it
right, our claim is that El Paso breached the 1990 measurement agreement by
not calibrating the meters as required and therefore by allowing the error to
arise and remain uncorrected for so long.  Under the NM statute, we may get 6
years worth of recovery ( or more, I guess, if they did something to toll the
SOL).  Under the Texas SOL, maybe less.  Do we have a good argument that the
1% standard in the measurement agreement and the 2% standard in El Paso's
tariff do not absolve them of conversion or breach liability?  Seems to me
that El Paso will argue that the FERC tariff preempts our contract
rights--but I think the law is on our side there.
3.  The tricky issue then becomes whether our prosecution of the claim
against El Paso plays into the hands of our adversaries on the Quinque mess.
If so, how do we quantify that risk to allow a rational balancing of the pros
and cons.  I'm glad smart guys like you two will have to do that thinking.
As usual, I'll try to stay on the sidelines and nod intelligently when you
make a recommendation.  DF

PS:  I'm ok with the outside counsel recommendation.
