Subject: TransCanada's 2001/2002 Tolls and Tariff Application --
 Sithe/Independence Capacity

At the request of the NEB, TransCanada has sent out a notice to shippers and interested parties
for comments on TCPL's application addressing the proposed Mainline Services and Pricing 
Settlement.  They are also requesting comments on "the need for and the nature of a further process
to consider the Application".   Comments must be filed by Wednesday, May 23,2001.  

Kevin Heal from our Calgary Office, represented Enron in the Settlement discussions.  Enron elected
to abstain when the vote was taken to approve the Settlement.  Sithe/Independence voted to
oppose and litigate the Settlement.

To maximize the value of the Sithe/Independence TCPL capacity (i.e. St. Clair to Chippawa & Kirkwall
to Chippawa contracts), it is very important that Sithe continue to actively participate in the
NEB's regulatory process and file comments by the deadline.  Behind the scenes, I 
recommend that we work with Sithe's legal counsel to coordinate a response to this 
request in case this capacity is assigned to Enron at a later date.  

I also recommend that Enron either change our earlier position from abstention to 
opposition of the Settlement, or combine the Empress to Chippawa contract that is
dedicated to the Sithe/Independence deal with Sithe's other capacity.  Kevin has 
provided the attached information of the other Toll Task Force members that voted to abstain, 
oppose, or oppose and litigate the Settlement.  It appears that most of the marketers, cogens and
IPP's fall in this camp.  

There are several features to the Settlement that may create additional value that 
has not yet been captured in our restructuring analysis.  I believe that only by taking 
an aggressive stand in the regulatory process, can this additional value be realized.  TCPL's
"FT Make-Up" and "AOS" features will create additional value for 2001 and 2002.   The "Turnback
Procedure" is designed to mitigate actual costs of TCPL's proposed Waddington and Niagara
expansions.  If some, or all of Sithe's capacity can be turned back to the pipeline, value may be
created starting in late 2002 and possibly through the termination of Sithe's contracts.

If there is any other information needed or I can assist in any way, please call me at x31667.

Subject: FERC/SEC Update

As you all may know, we have scheduled a conference call for the group for 
Thursday, Oct. 19.  Bernadette called each of your assistants, so it should 
be on your calendars.

As a brief update prior to our call:

We have a phone call in to FERC to check on the procedural status of the 
merger.  Donna Fulton, my colleague in Washington, has many contacts at FERC 
and is working with those people to learn what she can about the status of 
our proceeding.  

Joanne is supposed to be meeting with Bob Wasson at the SEC (along with Bill 
Weedon) early next week to get a sense of where the SEC is on the case.

Per Rick's suggestion, I have asked another colleague of mine in Washington, 
Chris Long, to help us decide who would be the appropriate person to make 
contact at the SEC if we decide to make that contact.  Chris is working with 
some political operatives on this.

We have been working with Portland General and Sierra on their RTO filing.  
As you may recall, a commitment to join an RTO (Regional Transmission 
Organization) is one of the things FERC will require of the merging parties.  
An RTO filing will be made at FERC on October 23.  While RTO progress has 
been good so far, Sierra and PGE have indicated that they may have concerns 
with the RTO they are working with (the Northwest RTO).  We are working with 
Sierra and PGE to make sure that they do not do anything in the RTO 
proceeding that could cause concern for FERC regarding the companies' 
commitment to join an RTO.

There was some question about the status of a temporary services company 
being created by the merged company.  Joanne has been working with the Sierra 
and PGE people on this issue and does not see this as being a problem now, 
but I have asked her for confirmation that this "alternative" type of service 
company arrangement will not delay the SEC proceeding.  I am waiting for a 
response from Joanne.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: Re: Liquids Violation Memo: Nov. 6  

JBlock does take up some of the VaR for Agg-Liquids; however, it is not a 
contributor of VaR violation for effective date Nov. 6.  As matter of fact, 
the VaR for JBlock went down.  The component VaR graph below shows that 
heating oil was a hedge but no longer as of yesterday.  Gasoil is still a 
hedge for Agg-Liquids but the hedge is reduced.

Liquids desk has a VaR violation for effective date Nov. 6 of  $8.2MM, over 
its limit by 3 percent. 

The violation was due to heating and gasoil going shorter by 939K barrels.  
Essential, shorten the heat/gasoil position reduced the overall net long 
products, portfolio causing the crack spreads to widen when crude oil is net 
short 5MM barrels.

Furthermore, volatility on crude was up 3 percent with 15 cents upward move 
in price.

Subject:	El Paso 1110 Update (8/28)

According to El Paso, the only thing preventing line 1110 from coming back online is the delivery and installation of a release valve which OPS has ordered to be installed on the line.  We are now hearing that there is a possibility the September 1st date reported earlier this week could slip to the next couple of weeks to give additional time for the valve installation.  Furthermore, sources report that OPS has not begun the process of approving the entire system to return to full capacity at 1.1 bcf/d, and this could take several months.  

As always, we will notify you as we learn new information. Please contact me at x51623 or Kristin Walsh at x39510 if you have any questions.

This should probably be researched further.  If they can really build this 
many plants it could have a huge impact on the Cal border basis.  Obviously 
it is dependent on what capacity is added on Kern, PGT and TW but it is hard 
to envision enough subscriptions to meet this demand.  Even if it is 
subscribed it will take 18 months to 2 years to build new pipe therefore the 
El Paso 1.2 Bcf/d could be even more valuable.

Karen Lemes
Box 768
Los Altos, CA 94023
karenlemes@earthlink.net

To Mr. Ken Lay,

I'm writing to urge you to donate the millions of dollars you made from selling Enron stock before the company declared bankruptcy to funds, such as Enron Employee Transition Fund and REACH, that benefit the company's employees, who lost their retirement savings, and provide relief to low-income consumers in California, who can't afford to pay their energy bills.  Enron and you made millions out of the pocketbooks of California consumers and from the efforts of your employees.

Indeed, while you netted well over a $100 million, many of Enron's employees were financially devastated when the company declared bankruptcy and their retirement plans were wiped out.  And Enron made an astronomical profit during the California energy crisis last year.  As a result, there are thousands of consumers who are unable to pay their basic energy bills and the largest utility in the state is bankrupt.

The New York Times reported that you sold $101 million worth of Enron stock while aggressively urging the company's employees to keep buying it.  Please donate this money to the funds set up to help repair the lives of those Americans hurt by Enron's underhanded dealings.

Sincerely,

Karen Lemes

Chris:
 
The reason for the variaces is that you are adding up the daily P&L for 12/3, 12/4, and 12/31 and trying to reconciile with MTD P&L as of 12/31.  However, please note that we produced the 12/31 P&L (i.e. west pwrdpr1231) treating 12/31 as the only calc/trading day in Dec 01', meaning that you should no longer be looking at 12/3 and 12/4 P&L and counting them as part of the MTD P&L anymore.
 
In short, our dpr for 12/31 should have the same Daily and MTD P&L.  Therefore, the "output" column in the attached spreadsheet is wrong since it's adding up daily P&L for 12/3, 12/4, and 12/31.
 
* I checked the east desk's P&L and believe we all did the same thing, i.e. treating 12/31 as the only trading/calc day in Dec.  You shall observe similar variances in the reconciliation for their dpr for 12/31 as well.
 
Please let me know if you have further questions.
 
Thanks,
 
Fran

Subject: CES Daily April '00 Requirements for 4/20/00 and after

The attached file contains our daily volume requirements for  4/20  and  the
following day(s) as listed .    There are two  worksheets labelled as follows:

'Total Reqs':  Contains the volumes that CES is requesting from Enron at each
of the delivery points and dates indicated in the columns labelled "NOM".   
The
Enron schedulers will want to check this sheet to see how much gas is needed 
at
a specific point.   The AGL volumes are not timely and should be ignored until
further notice.    CES schedulers note:  the attached file is archived on
P:\Energy Ops\Enron\April_00\Daily\ *.xls, so you don't have to save a
duplicate copy elsewhere on the network.
'Daily Change' :  shows the change (increase +/decrease -) in the daily volume
needed from Enron at the designated citygate delivery point relative to the
supply volumes arranged previously with Enron prior to the current date.  For
the current gas day, the change is an intra-day change and is calculated using
the previous day's volume request for the current day (e.g., If the current 
gas
day is 3/28, then the change is computed with respect to the 3/27 request for
3/28.  Note that this procedure assumes that the prior day supply change was 
in
fact effectuated).  For tomorrow's gas day and any subsequent ones shown, the
change is computed as the latest Dth Nomination requirement less the
First-of-the-month supply volume plus or minus any adjustments made since the
first-of-the-month to the FOM supply for the (future) days shown.  (e.g., If
today is 3/28, then the change for 3/29, 3/30, etc. is computed with respect 
to
the first-of-the-month volumes for those days adjusted for any additional
purchases or sell-backs since the first-of-the-month thru 3/27.)   This sheet
should be useful in determining prices for daily changes in gas volumes that 
we
take or turn back.   The column labelled "ENA Daily Swing +/- vs FOM volume'
shows the absolute magnitude of the daily swings allowed by ENA at
pre-specified prices.  Prices for Swing volumes exceeding these magnitudes or
for swings at delivery points without pre-specified pricing must be 
negotiated.

Larrissa,

Please, take a look at the letter.
My assistant is on vacation, she will be back tomorrow.

Please, check the spelling of your first name. It was inconsistent in the 
original letter from the lawyer.

Subject: CalPX -- commandeering coordination

At the hearing today before Judge Kuhl, she ordered the coordination, but
has set Sacramento as the venue.

She took the bench with that as her tentative, pointing to the second
paragraph of Govt. C. 955, which provides the state the opportunity to
remove non-takings cases to Sacramento -- an argument that the State did
NOT make.  She also mentioned that the State's action in Sacramento is the
only one that attempted to bring in all of the parties.  She found that the
convenience to the parties was not significant, since they seemed to be all
over.  She also found that the matter could be sent back from Sacramento if
the judge, after completing the legal issues, felt that trials in SF or LA
would be better.

George argued for CalPX.  Linda Callison argued for PG&E, stating their
preference of SF, but LA over Sacramento.  Reliant and Williams argued for
LA.  Richard Williams argued for the State.  We went through a couple of
rounds with very little questioning by the judge.  The only issue that
caught her attention was George's argument that CCP 401(2) provides that a
party sued by the state can remove the action to their county for trial, as
long as the AG has an office there.  She questioned the interplay between
that section and the one she cited, but did not take up George's offer to
brief the issue.

Because her decision seemed to be without any serious reason, it was out of
character for her, suggesting that other issues were at play.  She broke
the argument at one point to suggest that all of the arguments about where
the property was located were really cover for the underlying reality that
all of the parties had reasons to like or hate particular judges in the
various venues that they were trying to get or avoid.  We speculate that
the judges in the LA complex panel did not want this one and she is sending
it elsewhere.  We don't think it is political, since she is no friend of
Gray Davis.
