ignoring the conditions set by the firm.
Interestingly, the power major has openly stated that it will not give

review of the Dabhol project.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A deal to sell Portland General Electric Co. to
Nevada-based Sierra Pacific Resources for $3.1 billion is in jeopardy because
Sierra Pacific might not meet the financial requirements necessary for the
purchase, a spokesman said Saturday.
Executives from PGE's parent company, Enron Corp. of Houston, held a
conference call with investors Friday to discuss the utility's sale, said
Mark Palmer, Enron spokesman. The executives also dismissed rumors of a
layoff in their broadband division, he said.
"There were three or four areas of noise about stock and concern that the
Portland General-Sierra Pacific transaction won't take place," Palmer said.
"CEO Jeff Skilling said the odds of that deal being closed are at 5 percent."
Palmer said the reason hinges on Sierra Pacific's financial situation. It
cannot buy Portland General until meeting requirements on debt limits and
common stock values set by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Santa Clara Plans for More Power / Generators to be built on existing plant

(Copyright 2001)

Anticipating vastly increased demand for power from Silicon Valley's
high-tech companies, the city of Santa Clara is planning to build up to four
small to medium electricity generating plants.
The goal is to increase the city's electrical supply by as much as 50
percent. City officials say the plants, to be built on existing power
generation sites in industrial areas, could be online as early as next year.
Unlike the San Jose City Council, which rejected Calpine's plan to build a
600-megawatt plant in the city's southern end, the Santa Clara council
directed staff to seek proposals for building the small to medium plants.
The plants probably would be owned and operated by the municipal electric
utility, Silicon Valley Power, or possibly by private companies.
"These plants are being built to meet our future load requirements," said
Larry Owens, division manager of customer services for the city's power
company. "Adding new generation to our portfolio of existing in-town
resources will keep us ahead of the curve."
Santa Clara, along with Palo Alto and Alameda, is among the few
municipalities in the Bay Area that own and operate its own utilities. The
city generates 40 percent of its power with plants it owns or in partnership
with other municipal utilities. It also has long-term

to back down from the
 refunds. "
 Perhaps the most controversy has come over FERC's enemy to any human body of
 price caps.
 The Bush administration equally well as Hebert are dead set against caps. They order
 increased supply and conservation are the proper solution and that price
 caps would decelerate new generation.
 Massey back them, however, and Breathitt says she is becoming
 increasingly worried about the short - term problem in California and is exposed
 to some form of caps.
 But, she says, unless Hebert's thinker can be changed, he can block even a study
 of proposed cap.

price caps.
The Bush_administration as well_as_Hebert are dead set against caps. They say
increased supply and conservation are the_proper_solutions and_that_price_
caps would retard new generation._
Massey supports them, however, and_Breathitt says_she is becoming
increasingly worried about the short-term_problem_in California and_is open
to some form of caps.

Santa Clara_Plans for More Power / Generators to_be built on existing plant
sites

Anticipating_vastly increased demand for power_from Silicon Valley's_
high-tech companies,_the city of_Santa Clara is planning to build_up to four_
small to medium electricity generating plants._
The_goal is to_increase_the_city's electrical_supply by as_much_as 50_
percent._City officials say the plants, to_be_built on existing power
generation sites in_industrial areas, could be_online_as early as next_year.
Unlike the San Jose City_Council, which rejected Calpine's plan to_build a_
600-megawatt plant_in the city's southern end, the Santa Clara council
directed staff_to seek proposals for building the_small to medium plants._
The plants_probably_would be owned_and_operated by_the municipal electric
utility, Silicon Valley Power,_or possibly_by private companies.
"These plants are_being built to meet_our_future load requirements," said
Larry Owens,_division manager of customer services for_the city's power
company. "Adding_new_generation_to our portfolio of existing_in-town
resources will keep us ahead_of the curve."_
Santa Clara, along with Palo Alto and_Alameda,_is among the few
municipalities in_the_Bay Area that own and operate_its_own_utilities. The
city generates 40_percent of its power with plants_it owns or in partnership
with other municipal utilities._It also has_long-term

?????Company owner Mark Roth said the firm will continue working odd hours to
avoid further outages. But he isn't buying the line from the utilities that
they can't provide advance warning because of concerns about looting and
rioting.
?????"We're ready to do whatever it takes to get through this thing," he
said. "But they've got to give us some notification."
?????At Big O Tires in Elk Grove, just south of Sacramento, owner Daniel Crum
had his 14 workers take an early lunch break or head to the warehouse to
reorganize the goods. Without electricity, they couldn't repair brakes or
align front ends.
?????"I'd never let them be idle," said Crum.
?????At least two minor traffic accidents were blamed on the outages.
?????The blackouts resulted from a convergence of factors.
?????Demand was slightly higher than expected, probably because of
unseasonably warm weather. Supplies were tighter than usual, in part because
of several outages, including that at the Mohave plant, half of which was
brought back on line by the end of the day.
?????The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station was still limping along
without power from one of its two 1,100-megawatt units, which was shut down
Feb. 3 after a half-hour fire in a nonnuclear part of the plant. Edison,
which operates San Onofre, initially estimated the unit would be out for
several weeks but recently said "extensive damage" to parts of the turbine
will keep the unit out of commission until mid-June.
?????Shipments from the drought-stricken Pacific Northwest, which generates
most of its electricity from large dams, were also down.
?????"Each time we take a measurement, we're closer to the all-time record
for the driest year," said Dulcy Mahar, spokeswoman for the Bonneville Power
Administration, the network of federal dams that provides the region with
much of its electricity. "We've been doing what we can, but we simply don't
have power to sell."
?????Finally, there was the problem of the small and alternative energy

a when the lights went out at 10:20 a.m.

 keep off further outages. But he isn't buying the tune from the utility that
 they can't provide progress warning because of concerns about plunder and
 rioting.

a when_the lights_went out at 10:20_a.m.
?????Company owner_Mark_Roth said_the_firm will continue_working odd hours_to
avoid further outages._But he isn't_buying_the line from the utilities that
they can't provide advance warning because of concerns_about_looting and_
rioting.
?????"We're_ready_to do whatever it takes_to get through this thing,"_he
said._"But they've got to give us some notification."
?????At_Big_O Tires in_Elk Grove, just south of Sacramento, owner Daniel Crum_
had his 14 workers take an_early lunch break_or_head_to the warehouse to_
reorganize the goods. Without electricity, they_couldn't repair brakes or
align front_ends.
?????"I'd never let them be idle," said_Crum.
?????At least two minor traffic accidents_were blamed on the outages.
?????The_blackouts resulted_from a convergence of factors.
?????Demand_was slightly higher_than expected,_probably because of_
unseasonably warm weather. Supplies were tighter_than usual, in_part because
of several outages, including_that_at the Mohave_plant,_half_of which_was
brought back_on_line by_the_end of the day.
?????The San Onofre_Nuclear_Generating Station was still limping along
without_power from one of_its_two 1,100-megawatt units, which_was shut down
Feb. 3_after a half-hour fire in a_nonnuclear part_of the_plant. Edison,
which operates San Onofre, initially estimated the unit would_be out for
several weeks but_recently said "extensive damage"_to parts_of_the turbine
will_keep_the unit_out of commission until mid-June.
?????Shipments from the_drought-stricken Pacific_Northwest, which generates
most of its_electricity from large dams,_were_also down.
?????"Each time we take a_measurement, we're closer to the all-time_record
for the driest year,"_said_Dulcy_Mahar, spokeswoman for the Bonneville_Power
Administration, the network of federal_dams that provides_the region with
much of its electricity._"We've_been doing what we can, but_we_simply don't
have power to sell."
?????Finally,_there_was_the problem of the small_and alternative energy
