BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Enron Industrial Markets
Enron Industrial Markets announced the signing of definitive agreements with 
Huntco, Inc. under which over a 15-year period Enron will provide inventory 
price risk management services and will eventually provide more than 600,000 
tons per year of hot-rolled, cold-rolled and galvanized steel products to 
Huntco Steel.  The agreements provide Enron access to Huntco,s network of 
steel distribution centers nationwide.  The agreements also provide for Enron,
s acquisition of Huntco,s cold rolling and certain coil pickling operations 
in Blytheville, Arkansas.

These transactions with Huntco have the potential to fundamentally change the 
way steel is bought and sold in the United States.  It gives Enron immediate 
access to physical steel and positions Enron geographically to serve the 
steel industry in a variety of ways.  In addition to providing physical 
products on both a spot and term basis, EIM,s goals for the steel industry 
include developing commodity risk management products, providing structured 
finance products and establishing the market-making capabilities that Enron 
has brought to the natural gas, power and other commodity markets.

Enron North America-Upstream Products
Upstream Products has partnered with Duke Energy Field Services (DEFS) to 
close a 20-year NGL exchange and transportation deal with Formosa 
Hydrocarbons and Williams Energy Field Services to handle raw make product 
from the Williams Markham plant. Formosa Hydrocarbons is building a 40,000 
BPD fractionator to handle this and other Gulf Coast NGL production.  The 
accompanying pipeline will be known as the Seabreeze pipeline system and will 
be constructed by DEFS. Texas Brine LLC will provide NGL storage services for 
Formosa Hydrocarbons on this system. Primary production for this system is 
coming from the Boomvang Nansen field in the deepwater GOM and will be the 
first deepwater GOM production to come onshore in Texas. 
Upstream Products has also worked to arrange a 20-year transportation lease 
agreement on the Dean Pipeline (owned by TEPPCO) for refinery grade propylene 
service to be utilized by Formosa Plastics. Coupled with this transaction, 
Enron Clean Fuels has entered into a propylene storage agreement with Formosa 
Plastics to utilize ECF,s Mt. Belvieu storage facilities.  In addition, Enron 
Global Markets has been able to amend its current transportation agreement 
with TEPPCO to prematurely terminate a take-or-pay obligation and realize 
additional transportation revenues from interim NGL production coming from 
the Williams Markham to be delivered to Mt. Belvieu.  
Upon close, Upstream Products was monetized out of its initial position by 
DEFS and retained a risk-free net profits position on the Seabreeze Pipeline 
going forward for an additional 20,000-40,000 BPD of excess capacity on the 
system.
ENA West Power
Southwest Power, an ENA affiliate, signed a 222MW 15-year tolling agreement 
with Allegheny Energy Supply for all of the output of Southwest's Las Vegas 
expansion project, scheduled for completion in September, 2002.  With the 
tolling agreement done and construction underway, the project will now be 
marketed to qualified generators.

NEWS FROM THE GLOBAL FLASH

Enron closes major coal deal in Germany
After almost six months of negotiations, Enron's coal team has signed a 
contract with Stadtwerke Bremen to supply this major German municipality with 
coal until 2006. Under the deal structure, Enron will deliver a total of 4.6 
million tonnes of coal - equivalent to an overall contract volume of almost 
$200 million  (DM 440 million).

The agreement represents Enron's first significant long-term coal supply deal 
in Germany. The annual contractual volume amounts to around 3% of total 
German coal imports and provides us with continuous volume flow in Northern 
Germany, enabling us to grow our position in the market.

Parallel to this deal, Enron also entered into a separate agreement with HMS 
Bergbau Agentur, a company specialising in Polish exports. Under this 
agreement, HMS will be the handling agent and a potential supplier of Polish 
coal to us over the lifetime of the contract.

Congratulations to the whole team involved: Sven Becker, Manfred Ungethum, 
Cornelia Luptowitsch, Peter Bradley, Jez Peters and Michael Schuh.
