Ann,

Attached is a draft of Enron's response to your request for proposals for
gas supply to power generation plant in development by Calpeak Power, LLC.
As requested, Enron has provided indexed pricing with the option to convert
to various fixed priced products during the term of the agreement.

The  options  presented  are  not  intended to represent a complete list of
opportunities,  but  are representative of the different pricing structures
Enron  offers.   There  are several additional structures available  and we
look forward to discussing these options with you.

Please call me with any questions you might have regarding the proposal.  I
look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks,

   Thursday, February 21, 2002 Issue 47   EDITORIAL  Protestors, Profits and Cows    Most of the Eyeforenergy team has returned from our recent, Energy, Weather and Emissions Trading conferences in Amsterdam.  With over 250 people at the event (and that's not counting the protestors and media who showed up), these events were a true success and we'd like to thank all the speakers, sponsors and delegates who came and made it what it was.   Our newsletter this week brings together a number of interesting issues.  Al Massey's written an article on the new Bush plan unveiled as a Kyoto alternative.  We've also got a first day summary of some of the key issues emerging from the Amsterdam conference.  And we begin looking further into the world of energy management and what's out there for both the buyers and sellers of energy in terms of both key issues and concerns as well as solutions.   And finally, to end on a light note (and after a week that saw our conference attacked by people with blue wigs and water pistols, how can you end on anything else?), we've got a joke that was forwarded to us about cows and Enron.  It certainly made us chuckle...     Feudalism You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.Fascism You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them and sells you the milk. Communism You have two cows. You must take care of them, but the government takes all the milk.Capitalism You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income. Enron You have two cows. You borrow 80% of the forward value of the two cows from your bank, then buy another cow with 5% down and the rest financed by the seller on a note callable if your market cap goes below $20B at a rate 2 times prime. You now sell three cows to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at a 2nd bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more and this transaction process is upheld by your independent auditor and no Balance Sheet provided with the press release that announces that Enron as a major owner of cows will begin trading cows via the Internet site COW (cows on web). I am sure you now fully understand what happened.      --Allison Robertshaw, Editor   FOCUS   Monitoring Energy Use in the Digital Economy    As deregulation comes to an overloaded and often antiquated power grid, companies and consumers alike struggle with rising energy cost and the need for a smooth flow of electrons. For much of the world, deregulation offered the false promise of increased competition that would result in lower rates.  Energy users can only watch with growing concern as the world's transmission buckles under the strain of keeping pace with global expansion at a time when demand for electricity is outpacing supply. Today's energy market is becoming fractured with power shortages, high prices and reduced... Click here for Full Story    Day 1 Update from Eyeforenergy's Energy, Emissions and Weather Trading Conference    With over 250 people in attendance at the Amsterdam shows, the three trading events kicked off to a distinct buzz. Initial excitement was caused by a group of environmental protestors who stormed the hotel and briefly occupied the Emissions Trading conference, which resumed shortly afterwards.  The excitement about the emissions trading conference didn't go down a notch after the protestors were removed - if anything delegates were even more determined to get down to work. With the impending UK emissions auction, all eyes were on Powergen's Dr William Kyte and what this...

The latest shot fired across the bow of Kyoto supporters came last week when the President unveiled his alternative to the treaty.  Peppered with phrases such as "greenhouse gas intensity," and "stabilizing GHG concentration" while proposing a "new environmental path" that will "benefit the entire world," Bush's speech appeared to be more a battle of semantics, rather than a declaration of war on global warming...Click here for Full Story     ADVERTISEMENT  [IMAGE] TIP Days  TAF ICT Solutions, the Amsterdam based total solution provider in speech- and datasolutions, has received an enormous amount of attention during this week's Eyeforenergy events in Amsterdam.

According to a draft bill made available Monday, METI aims to obtain cabinet approval on March 1 to submit to the ongoing Diet session a bill on special measures for the use of new energy by power utilities, ministry officials said.

As utilities stocks, long considered the investment of choice for widows and orphans, continue to fall TXU trades at near its 52 week high of $51.50 per share.

"We were suddenly and unexpectedly downgraded from a BBB flat credit rating to a BB+ by Moody's," said Marce Fuller, Mirant president and chief executive.

I downloaded them all this morning, but forgot to send them to you.  Here are a couple of copies of different versions:


Lindy and Michelle--

Thanks for taking the time to meet with me yesterday to discuss DealBench and
the IOS process.  I will work with my technical team to schedule a meeting
sometime next week with you and Rich Abromowitz.

Michelle-- when you get a chance, can you please fax to my attention the
screen shots from an IOS auction that contained some of the complexities we
discussed yesterday?  I have verified that Enron Net Works is a separate
legal entity from ENA so I think we are okay from that standpoint.  My fax
number is 713-646-8576.

Thanks so much,

If Risk could fill in the traders which will be managing each product and the Global Book ID, we will use that data as the basis for an update script to automatically assign the new books to each product.

I'll be in the office early tomorrow if you have any questions, or would like to go over any special book assignments that may need to be covered outside of a mass-update.

As to my next visit, I've tentatively slotted the week of December 10th. Talk to you soon. Cheers.


Joe,

FYI, you were invited to our off-site because we felt that our businesses
were so linked together and that we could all get on the same page with
regard to updates, vision and relationship building.  We also invited Paul

but we do know how difficult it is to make it over.

We are launching a number of committees to perform key functions across
Enron.  Enron,s breadth of activities and nonhierarchal organization make it
increasingly necessary to broaden the participation of Enron,s next

decisions are made and will allow committee members to extend their working
relationships and influence throughout the company.

The committee charters and memberships are set forth below.  Not everyone
listed has been contacted in advance.  We urge you to serve if at all
possible, but, if you cannot, please contact the committee chair.

leading our analyst/associate program, has taken a commercial position in
EES, account management organization.  We thank Charlene for her hard work

by Ken Lay.  Cindy Olson, Beth Tilney and Kelly Kimberly will serve as

The NYISO is reserving hours beginning 03:00, 16:00, 17:00 and 21:00 in the

In addition, the NYISO is reserving hour beginning 17:00

Prices in the January 24, 2002 Day-Ahead Market are correct.

Please note that Market Monitoring will no longer be reserving prices due
to ECA-B.  Code modifications were made on December 20th to incorporate
into the Real-Time price, the BME price in the presence of congestion.  The
incorporation is now an automatic process that is prescribed by the NYISO

I sure enjoyed dinner last night -- ice tea and all. For what it is worth, I
believe you made the right choice, recognizing it was not an easy one. Your
judgment is sound and you should believe in it. I hope you are feeling more
confident in your choice now.

Thanks for your words of wisdom to me. I am admittedly a bit scared -- since
I cannot control this situation very much.

Just how did we get to be so Type A?

Have a wonderful trip. I will have my cell phone with me if you need to

with capital holdings targeted at DM 2.2 billion
($1 billion). The new fund, eBertelsmann, will become

Subject: DJ Calif Generators: `We Welcome Probe Into Power Market' - DJ Ca
lif ISO Urges FERC To Reject Pwr Producers' Complaint

12:15 GMT 16 August 2000
=DJ Calif Generators: `We Welcome Probe Into Power Market'  (This article
was originally published Tuesday)       By Jason Leopold     OF DOW JONES
NEWSWIRES    LOS ANGELES (Dow Jones)--When California Attorney General Bill
Lockyer completes his investigation into possible "collusion" in the
wholesale electricity market by generators, energy companies say he will
probably find the same thing Geraldo Rivera found in Al Capone's safe:
nothing.  Still, those companies that own generation in the state say they
welcome the probe into the power market by Attorney General Bill Lockyer.
"We have done nothing wrong at all," said Tom Williams, spokesman for Duke
Energy North America (DUK). "Our plants have been running all summer long.
Prices are high throughout the west. We wouldn't invest $1.7 billion in new
generation and then try and rig the market."  For the past two months,
utilities, lawmakers and other market participants have made allegations
that generators are manipulating the market and are largely responsible for
the price spikes.  Locker's office said an investigation is still pending.
State regulators are also conducting their own investigation, the findings
of which will be submitted to the governor and the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission by the end of the year.  Allegations Said Unsubstantiated  There
isn't a shred of evidence to support allegations, said Severing Borenstein,
director of the University of California, Berkley's, Energy Institute.
"There are no antitrust laws that state you can't charge a premium price for
power," Borenstein said. "Manipulation is a bad word. That's used in the
commodities market to find a loophole and take advantage of the rules.  "I
would say this is exercising market power. ... If you want to charge high
prices you can. These are guys who play against each other every day. There
is no sort of collusion that would interest the justice department ... ."
The reason for the inquiry ordered By Gov. Gray Davis, he said, is as a
consequence of San Diego consumers being the first in the nation to pay
market-based rates for electricity.  The high wholesale costs paid by
utility San Diego Gas & Electric, a unit of Sempra Energy (SRE), were passed
on to ratepayers and resulted in utility bills more than doubling.  Gov.
Davis ordered the inquiry and asked federal regulators to conduct their own
investigation as well.  Dynegy (DYN) President Steve Bergstrom also says
that an investigation "will turn up nothing."  So why conduct one?  "This is
a very politically charged issue," Bergstrom said. "When something goes
wrong you have to find someone to point the finger at."  A source in the
governor's office said Davis is aware that Attorney General Lockyer's
investigation may turn up nothing, but Gov. Davis "has a responsibility to
his constituents."  Supply vs. Demand  What the investigation will turn up
is evidence that there is a shortage of power in the state and not enough
power plants being built to meet increasing demand, said Terry Winter,
chairman and chief executive officer of the California Independent System
Operator.  Winter said he doesn't believe that there is anything wrong with
the way generators sell their power and 98% of the time the market works
well.  "Is it market abuse to bid at the price cap ($250 per megawatt-hour)
knowing that you're 1,000 MW short? I have trouble identifying that as
market power abuse," Winter said.  Despite some proposed regulatory changes,
such as bid caps on wholesale energy prices and a rate freeze for SDG&E
customers, Duke Energy, Dynegy, Southern Co. (SO) and Reliant (RLI) all
still plan to invest in generation in the state.  That's a different stance
than the companies took a month ago when the ISO reduced the wholesale price
cap in the real-time market to $250/MWh.  "At the end of the day the market
is short power and you got to get people to build new generation," said
Dynegy's Bergstrom. "We got a big investment in California. We're not
walking away from that."  -By Jason Leopold, Dow Jones Newswires;

12:15 GMT 16 August 2000 DJ Calif ISO Urges FERC To Reject Pwr Producers'
Complaint
(This article was originally published Tuesday)
WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--California's power grid administrator Monday urged
federal regulators to reject a complaint from power producers seeking
compensation in the event out-of-state power transactions are curtailed
during an extreme power grid emergency.
The independent system operator told the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission that the power producers seek compensation in the event of a
"situation that never has occurred any time since the ISO began operations,
and if it were to occur in the future, would do so rarely."
The ISO noted that its tariff governing access to the state's grid already
allows for compensation in the event of curtailed exports, and decried the
power producers' complaint as "a collateral attack" on a previous FERC order
rejecting claims that the tariff failed to provide adequate compensation.
Curtailing scheduled power transactions and exports would be a last resort
measure taken only after other options have been exhausted, the ISO said.
The power producers should adjust their contracts to factor in the risk of
interruption in the event of a state-wide grid emergency, the ISO said.
The ISO's objections were echoed by the state's electricity distribution
utilities and California regulators.
They complained that the power producers are merely trying to get out from
under the price controls the ISO has imposed in an effort to rein in
skyrocketing power prices this summer.
The generators "knew when they purchased California power plants and when
they entered into their export contracts that the ISO could alter their
schedules in an emergency. For them to ask the commission to make it even
more expensive, and hence, more difficult, for the ISO to maintain grid
reliability in California is irresponsible," said Southern California
Edison, a unit of Edison International (EIX).
"The complaint is a sham," declared the California Public Utilities
Commission.
"The true intent of the complaint ... is to avoid the ISO price caps by
making sales to affiliates or cooperating entities located out of state, and
sell the power back to the ISO at uncapped prices reflecting the generators'
market power," the PUC said, calling for FERC to summarily reject the
complaint.
"The complaint is factually unsupported, legally unfounded, complains of
conduct consistent with the ISO's authority under pertinent FERC decisions,
and seeks to avoid the price cap," the PUC said.
But power marketers and other power producers voiced support for the
complaint, filed Aug. 3 by Reliant Power Generation Inc. (REI), Dynegy Power
Marketing Inc. (DYN) and Southern Energy California (SO).
"By subjecting curtailed energy transactions to its maximum purchase price
of $250, and simply ignoring the financial impact on sellers, the Cal ISO
would be overtly discriminating against export transactions and market
participants who schedule energy for export," said the Electric Power Supply
Association, the national trade group representing competitive power
producers.
"It is critical that power producers ... know with certainty that the
curtailment of scheduled energy exports by Cal ISO will be compensated,"
said Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc.
"Now that the ISO Governing Board has lowered purchase price caps to $250,
it is significantly more likely that the curtailment of exports will occur
more frequently. Less energy will be imported into California and more
energy will leave California in search of higher prices," said Williams
Energy Marketing & Trading Co. in support of the complaint's call for actual
damages and lost opportunity costs.
At least one power purchaser voiced support for the producers' position as
well.
"It seems a very basic point that if the Cal ISO must divert the
transactions of others to meet its own loads, that is should pay the full
costs of doing so," said the Northern California Power Agency.

As of today, Richard Roberts, FedEx Senior Attorney, notified me of the
following:

Billy Mike Golden, Managing Director of Field Facility Management,
received a call from John Patillo.  Mr. Golden was in the process of
returning his call at approximately 2:15 p.m.    Depending on what the
two discussed will determine if FedEx needs to hold a conference call to
discuss this further.

If a conference call is needed, it will occur as soon as possible.  The
attendees will be FedEx employees.  They are as follows:

Carmen Perez, Corporate Account Executive
Billy M. Golden
Gary Stoops, Managing Director of Supply Chain Management
Richard Roberts

After FedEx holds the conference call, it will be determined if FedEx
commercial and legal needs to meet with Enron commercial and legal.

I understand if resolution does not take place prior to December 31,
2000 FedEx may not be Enron's carrier.

Regards,

Carmen Perez

Hi everyone:

Just talked to Scott -- he is in DC all week -- his modem is broken on his
computer and he asked me to let you all know that if you need him to please
try him on his cell phone (503) 807-2935.  I will be out of the office the
rest of the week (use or lose vacation!), but will be checking voice mails
and would be more than happy to pass on anything to Scott -- call me at the
number below -- I will be retrieving messages.

I will be checking my email as well, (but will be checking voice mail more
frequently than email),  feel free to send anything to me that you need Scott
to see.

Thanks!

We look forward to seeing you there and sharing great food, drink, and
fabulous entertainment!  We will provide additional details when they are
