Hi Avrim:
So sorry this took me so long, and I hope you haven't already left---I
recall you saying that you guys were leaving on the 1st, which I hope i=
s
the case. Anyway, hope that this finds you before you depart.
First, if you didn't buy a "Plan du Paris" ("map of Paris, in English) =
on
your first trip, I highly recommend it. All Parisians use it, it costs
about $10-15 and you'll use if for all your other trips to Paris. It's=
a
must for getting around the town. Every street in the city; all the
"arrondissements": map of the subway system, etc.
OK, here goes. It's been a while, and I don't have my "Plan" with me h=
ere
in Mexico, so I'm working from memory. Hope that it's helpful. Once
you've bought your "Plan," you can reference my suggestions and get
yourself oriented, link the walks together, etc.
For an exotic (and cool) experience, go to "the Mosque" ("La Mosquee=
")
in French. It's in the southeastern part of the city (15th
arrondissement, or 5th?). Go the cafe in the mosque and have tea. =
It's
just very cool.
La Rue Moufftard (sp?). It starts on the top of the hill where the
Pantheon is (across the street from the Luxembourg Gardens). It's a=
neat little street that winds down the other side of the hill. Go
before noon when the market fills the street---you can buy a few thi=
ngs
and picnic in the Luxembourg Garden.
Speaking of the Luxembourg Gardens, it's a neat place. I'd take a w=
alk
through---check out all of the "espaille'd" fruit trees----truly a w=
ork
of art.
Walk to the other side of the Garden (opposite from the Pantheon sid=
e)
and find the "St. Sulpice" church. Very cool neighborhood (St. Germ=
ain
des Pres neighborhood). The church is on a square; there's a lot of=
very nice cafes and restaurants, and it's the site of the famous "Le=
ft
Bank" fashion center.
While you're over there, wander to the Montparnasse neighborhood and=
stop in at the "Rosebud" bar. Hemmingway and the gang drank there.
It's small, the waiters where little white coats and they play real
vinyl records of the best jazz anywhere. Best of all, it's not
pretentious. It's hip.
Also there is a cemetery where many famous folks are buried (includi=
ng
Serge Gainsbourg)----cemeteries are of course a big deal in Paris, t=
he
most notable being the Pere LaChaise Cemetery, where Jim Morrison is=
buried. They're Interesting enough, but I don't know if I'd go out o=
f my
way....
In the Latin Quarter (5th arrond), check out "L'Ecluse," right on th=
e
river at the Quai les Grands Augustins, just off Boulevard St. Miche=
l.
Little wine bar with tasty things to nibble on. Great place to take=
a
breather in the late afternoon (somewhat) in style.
The Picasso museum in the "Marais" neighborhood is an absolute must.=
And while you're there be sure to cruise the neighborhood. Very
gentrified these days (and it's the gay neighborhood), but been
renovated into a lot of very impressive art galleries and fashion
houses---very neat.
While there (in the same neighborhood) go to the "Place des Vosges."=
Unreal big old square from way back when---great to look at and ther=
e's
shops and cafes.
The "Institute du Monde Arab" is on the Mitterand's "seven great
projects." Architechturally magnificent and the exhibits inside are=
modest and very impressive.
Rue de la Roquette is now extremely hip---on the east side of the
Bastille behind the "new opera" (if you get a chance go an opera
there---very populist experience and fun. Roquette is where the clu=
bs
and the musique are. General hip-dome (and if you're inclined to do=
some real people-watching, go to Boulevard St. Germain and sit outsi=
de
at Les Deux Magots or Caf=E9 Fleure and watch away).
Find on your map the church St. Eustache. Walk around east of it fo=
r
some very cool neighborhood viewing?used to be big wholesale butcher=
s
and such (extension of Les Halles, which is now a big shopping mall =
but
used to be Paris' outdoor market). From there walk to "Place des
Victoires, or Place des Notre Dame des Victoires (I can't remember).=
And look for Gallerie Vivienne, too---Belle Epoque little food a
shopping corrider?very neat.
And finally, while your over there, go to the Palais Royale (by the
Louvre), which is where Louis XIV grew up as a boy---fantastic
courtyard, controversial artwork (black and white striped columns);
walk to the opposite end, exit the courtyard out the back and contin=
ue
walking in the neighborhood.
I'll leave the museums, etc. to you. Sorry to quick and dirty. Have a=
great time. See you soon.
Best,

Lawmakers failed to respond to energy alarm
(Published Feb. 13, 2001)
Now that state lawmakers have begun an inquiry to determine what caused
California's energy crisis, they might want to take a look in the mirror.
Not at the infamous 1996 vote that triggered the partial deregulation of the
electricity industry. The remains of that law have been picked over enough.
Besides, most of the people who voted for it have already left the
Legislature, thanks to term limits.
But there was another vote last June, far less heralded and still little
known. It came just as warning bells were starting to signal the onset of
what has since become a crippling crisis. The Legislature not only ignored
those alarms, it stood in the way of the people who were trying to respond.
Why it did so remains something of a mystery. How it did so says a lot about
the way the Legislature works.
At issue was the now-defunct California Power Exchange. This was a
state-mandated auction, until recently the only place that utilities were
allowed to shop for the electricity that lights our homes and businesses. By
last June there were ominous signs that the power exchange, known as the PX,
wasn't working right. Prices were higher than anyone expected. The supply of
energy seemed thinner than was reasonable. There were enormous overhead
costs.
The power exchange was a bit like having a single automobile auction where
everyone who wanted to buy or sell a car had to do business. In times of
surplus this might work, because the sellers would underbid each other to
unload their cars to reluctant buyers. But in a shortage, the opposite would
be true. Buyers, with no place else to go, would pay ever-higher prices to
get what they needed. That's what was happening with electricity.
A majority of the Public Utilities Commission decided to do something about
it. The PUC voted 3-2 to allow privately formed exchanges to compete with the
state-sanctioned auction. At least two private exchanges were promising to
deliver more power at lower prices with fewer administrative costs. The
commission wanted to let them give it a try.
But before the PUC could even implement the change, the Legislature
intervened. Acting with unusual speed, lawmakers overturned the commission's
decision.
Assembly Bill 2866 was a classic legislative bill, in the worst sense. A
cobbled-together collection of 28 unrelated items, it was drafted in a hurry
as a companion to the new state budget. One of the bill's many parts was a
provision to subsidize California's film industry. That got a lot of
attention. The paragraph overturning the PUC's attempt to head off the energy
crisis got next to none. The bill was amended in the Senate on June 15 and
approved later that day. The Assembly passed it the next day, and Gov. Gray
Davis signed it.
The analysis of the bill that members saw in the Assembly was cryptic and
misleading. It said the bill would authorize the PUC to study the idea of
allowing competition for the state-mandated exchange. That was true as far as
it went. But the analysis omitted the fact that the bill's real intent was
just the opposite: to reverse a PUC decision and prohibit competing exchanges
for at least a year.
"California had made a big investment in the power exchange," said Sen. Jim
Brulte, R-Rancho Cucamonga, who was one of probably just a handful of
legislators who knew about the provision before it became law. "The PUC
decision would have put that investment at risk." Which is another way of
saying that the power exchange wasn't working and had to be protected from
competition.
Richard Bilas, the PUC commissioner who was pushing the hardest for the
reform the Legislature overturned, said he never liked the idea of mandating
a single exchange in which the utilities would have to buy all their power.
Bilas wasn't a member of the commission when the PUC restructured
California's electricity industry. But he said the result reminded him of the
former Soviet Union, where leaders declared that they were going to move to a
market economy and then appointed a group of central planners to figure out
how those markets should function.
"Markets are not based on fictitious or created exchanges," he said. "Markets
are based on buyers and sellers coming face to face to negotiate a deal. You
don't establish beforehand something that may not be necessary."
It's still not clear whether opening up the markets would have prevented the
price spikes that have since nearly bankrupted the utilities, forcing the
state to step in and buy electricity to keep the lights on. It might be a
stretch to suggest that any single policy change could have prevented the
crisis. But we will never know.
The Legislature, acting in haste and with little information, kept us from
finding out. The California Power Exchange, which the Legislature was so
eager to protect from competition, collapsed of its own weight anyway, and is
now out of business.
The law preventing other exchanges from entering the market was quietly
repealed two weeks ago, seven very long months after it was adopted. |

Rob,
Attached please find the current draft of the Letter Agreement (32581.7),
including Attachment 8 (32573.7) which sets forth various provisions to be
included in the Purchase Agreement. Article 20 regarding indemnification is
included in Attachment 8.
As we discussed, West LB has some concerns regarding including language in
Article 20 which GEII requested by which West LB would indemnify GEII for
Enron's acts (in its capacity as Agent). West LB has suggested they would be
willing to undertake this obligation if they are reimbursed by Enron through
the Acquisition and Development Agreement. Today, for the first time, West
LB indicated that they may require a cap on this liability for Agent's acts
in the Purchase Agreement.
GEII has requested that West LB undertake this obligation and Enron has
agreed to pursue it with West LB. In light of this, the language which would
establish West LB's indemnity obligation for the Agent's acts is not included
in the current draft of Attachment 8.
Please let me know how you would like to proceed. As I mentioned, we are
trying to finalize the Letter Agreement with GEII very shortly. I apologize
for any confusion and look forward to working with you on this matter. If
you have any questions or would like to discuss this matter further, please
feel free to contact me at 713-655-5102.
Thanks,
Vanessa.

Room at 4206 SE Hawthorne Blvd.? The Empire Room is a wonderful wine and
dessert bar.? It also offers appetizers and a few dinner entrees which are
on the lighter side.? Above all it is a wonderful place to spend time with
friends and family and now listen to music in a smoke-free, kid friendly
environment.? There is no cover charge.??I start playing around?8:
30pm?and?play for a couple of hours finishing up around?11pm.
?
Hope to see you all there!
?
Take care,
?

in his floor meeting last week, Rick would like for everyone to purchase
tickets from the Travel Agency in the Park (TAP), which is the preferred
travel agent for Enron. The savings that Enron receives from using TAP is
insurmountable. See below, a list of the contracts Enron has negotiated with
some of the airlines. Whenever possible, plan to purchase tickets at least
3-7 days in advance. Often the pre-purchase savings outweighs the potential
switching fee. The travel agency is also able to give you a better price for
hotel reservations through the Hickory rate, which is cheaper then the
corporate rate. TAP's phone number is 713-650-8080 (web address:
http://www.travelpark.com)
AIRLINE CONTRACTS
America West 15%
American 28%
Continental 17%....25% full business and coach fares US50 to/from Europe
Delta 5-28%
Northwest/KLM 20 - 30% domestic....25% international
TWA 21% - 54% domestic and Houston-Toronto only
United 28%
US Airways 30%
British Air 15 - 35%
Also, if at any time you are interested in having your spouse travel with you
on a business trip, at the company's expense, it is necessary for you to
have spousal approval. This approval is needed in advance of the trip, by
your immediate supervisor and Rick Shapiro. Below you will find an attached
spousal approval form.

We wanted to thank you for your time and support today. We have been
thinking about our conversation and it may be better to wait until December
before you approached Delainey. This time period would give us the
opportunity to change his impression of our contributions to gas and power.
Please let us know if you would advise differently.
Thank you,

gas needs. This format was designed by Noel Bartlo, who thought that it
would
be easier for you and for us to keep track of our day-to-day transactions
under
our agreement. (Sheet1 is just a copy of Exhibit 1, I believe.) The numbers
are final with the following exceptions which we will address with you in the
morning, since some of the issues relate to contract interpretation (ours vs.
yours) as it pertains to storage. The exceptions are noted below:
*LDCs for whom the scheduler is Novsek. (I need to verify that she included
volume requirements for Major Accounts being retained by CES thru March.)
*COH choice requirements are total daily requirements. We need to resolve how
this total will break out between flowing gas and storage withdrawals.
*AGL requirements are not included because we also need to resolve some
storage
issues there.
*In some cases, I see that the schedulers have shown a total monthly volume
requirement in lieu of a set of daily requirements. We need to discuss how
we
want to (have to?) handle these under the contract.
If nothing else, you'll be able to give us your opinion of this spreadsheet
format.

Jim,
Clarification regarding Shalesh' transfer to EBS.
The request to rotate Shalesh out of Research into EBS
came from Ravi Thuraisingham. My understanding was that it was
fully coordinated with you and I was more than happy to oblige.
Shalesh is concerned that his integrity is being questioned and I can assure
you that he was not the instigator of the move.
My impression is that Shalesh is doing a very good job and Ravi is very happy
him. I shall be glad to keep him in the Research Group in his current role.
Have a good 4th of July.

How do we develop a cleaner, sustainable electric industry? The answer is =
=20
literally blowing in the wind. In fact, about 100 MW of new wind generation=
=20
will be operating in Pennsylvania by 2001 =01* a small portion of the=20
Commonwealth=01,s total wind resource, which is enough to produce about 13=

challenges must be overcome to keep this crop from fading into thin air.=

Why are obstacles being overcome to make wind power part of Pennsylvania=01=
,s =20
energy future? Customers want clean energy, and wind is readily available, =
=20
especially in the northeastern, central and southwestern areas of our state=
. =20
While some other states have better wind resources, Pennsylvania has plenty=
=20
of Class 3 wind resources and a good bit of Class 4, much of which is=20
located in rural communities. Ironically, sufficient wind resources are al=
so=20
often found in formerly important coal centers that were decimated when=20
machines replaced human labor and mines were emptied of marketable coal. I=
t=20
could offer these communities a sustainable economic future, as the wind i=
s=20
never mined out.
?
Just one year ago, when E-cubed discussed reasons to =01&Go With the Wind,=
=018=20
(Vol. I, No. 9, 9/14/99) no commercial wind farms were operating in =20
Pennsylvania, but our state had, and still has, the most vibrant customer=
=20
choice program in America. Today, there are already two new, clean renewab=
le=20
wind generation facilities that were built in direct response to consumer=
=20
demand. =20
?
The 10.4 MW Green Mountain Farm in Garrett, Somerset County, can produce =
=20
about 25,000 MWh of electricity, enough to serve about 2,500 households eac=
h =20
year.? The 130 kW Pennsylvania Wind Energy Project in Hazleton, Luzerne =20
County, can produce about 200,000 kWh of electricity and will double in siz=
e =20
this fall. But even when additional 130kW turbines are installed, Community=

Energy=01,s =01&wind block=018 sales will have served only about half of th=
e small =20
commercial customer load that subscribed to its limited =01&pilot=018 marke=
ting =20
program. These two operating wind farms avoid 123 tons of S02, 12,000? tons=
=20
of CO2, and 4,700 tons of NOx.
?
Two larger wind farms are expected to be operating next year. Atlantic =20
Renewable and International Wind are developing a 15.6 MW Mill Run wind far=
m=20
in Fayette County, and National Wind Power is developing a facility near=
=20
Scranton, Lackawanna County, which will produce at least 15 MW initially.=
=20
Although not all will be completed by the end of 2001, seven other project=
s=20
by five active wind developers are scheduled to provide an additional 110 =
MW=20
of new wind generation in Pennsylvania during and after 2001. The wind=20
industry expects that about 200 MW could be built in Pennsylvania within t=
wo=20
to three years. If 100 MW of additional wind generation replaced system=20
power, Pennsylvania would avoid 1,250 tons of SO2, 123,000? tons of CO2 a=
nd=20
48,000?tons of NOx.
?
These new wind developments are fueled not just by wind, but by investment =
=20
dollars and consumer demand as well. The Pennsylvania Wind Development=20
Program recently announced the availability of wind energy production=20
incentives, for new facilities that become operational by the end of 2001,=
=20
of up to 1.5 cents/kwh for five years. The program, operated for the=20
Sustainable Development Fund by The Reinvestment Fund, will receive $12=20
million from settlement of the PECO/Unicom merger, which is expected to=20
become final in November.=20
?
Construction by the end of 2001 is also important because the federal =20
Production Tax Credit for new wind development expires at that time, and it=
=20
is unclear if it will be renewed.=20
?
Production incentives are crucial for wind power, especially in =20
Pennsylvania, where wind resources tend to peak in both the winter and=20
during the late evening hours when the demand for electricity is low. In t=

?
California wind production, on the other hand, generally peaks in the =20

By comparison, wind costs about 5.0 cents per kilowatt-hour to produce in =

=20
country with the very best wind resources.=20
?
However, total generation costs of Pennsylvania wind compare favorably to =
=20
all-in nuclear generation costs, such as Limerick=01,s 8.5 cents/kwh and =
=20
Susquehanna's near 7.0 cent all-in cost, but still cost about 33% more than=
=20
total costs of a new fossil fuel plant. Of course, existing nuclear plants=
=20
do not have to recover the all-in production costs through the market,=20
because those costs are subsidized by stranded costs payments. The $12=20
million of funding in the Pennsylvania Wind Development Program is a drop =
in=20
the bucket compared to the billions of dollars that subsidize nuclear powe=
r=20
plants.=20
?
Another challenge to new wind power is that the exploding demand for wind =
=20
turbines throughout the world and the rush to build American wind farms by =
=20
December 2001 are stressing the capacity of turbine manufacturers to meet =
=20
orders. Only five qualified wind manufacturers do business in the U.S. Of=
=20
the five, two are taking no new orders through 2001, while two others have=
=20
limited capacity remaining for additional orders. The leading manufacturer=
s=20
are unfortunately not American but European =01* many are just beginning t=
o=20
have enough business in the U.S., and Pennsylvania in particular, to=20
support? necessary sales and operating support.=20
?
If turbines are available to harvest the wind, Pennsylvania=01,s wind resou=
rce =20
is sufficient for commercial development, but does not generate as much or=
=20
as valuable electricity as in other states. For example, some states may=
=20
have Class 5 wind that blows strong and steady during peak electric load=
=20
times. The best sites in Pennsylvania are only Class 4, and the wind often=
=20
blows intermittently. In addition to the lower average price for the=20
electricity generated at off-peak times, the resource at a site is crucial=
=20
to project finances and requires detailed assessment. A site generally mus=
t=20
be =01&metered=018 for a full year before investors will make a commitment=
to a=20
project.=20
?
Although there are no technical barriers to interconnection of wind =20
generation to the grids in Pennsylvania, the intermittent nature of wind=20
also makes interconnection with a system based on predictable generation=
=20
more difficult and less economic. For example, some operating systems stil=
l=20
have rules that impose substantial penalties for inaccurate scheduling of=
=20
generation, even though the real time balancing markets required under FER=
C=20
Order 2000 should eliminate the need for these penalties. The intermittent=
=20
nature of wind makes such rules especially burdensome for wind projects.=
=20
?
On the bright side, some of the early problems with wind generation are =20
successfully being overcome. New wind turbines now purr along quietly=20
compared to older technologies. New turbines also turn quite slowly and=20
developers are sensitive to the rights of birds to fly. While wind turbine=
s=20
were once considered eyesores, the sleek postmodern look is increasingly=
=20
found attractive, especially in comparison to transmission lines, cell=20
towers, or the strip mining that often occurred on the same land upon whic=
h=20
the turbines are now being built.=20
?
Communities also are welcoming wind projects, not just because problems =20
related to noise, birds, or view sheds can be minimized, but as important=
=20
rural economic development and supplementary income to farmers. A farmer c=
an=20
receive rental income of about $2,700 per year per turbine erected on a ti=
ny=20
portion of farmland without significant interference to farming operations=
.=20
A 15-turbine wind farm could add $40,000 in annual income to a hard-presse=
d=20
small farmer.
?
A rural township can also expect a boost in its tax base. For example, whe=
n=20
the wind farm was built, the Garrett tax base increased about 100%. And,=
=20
local construction contracts comprise about 20% of the cost of a new wind=
=20
development, so that a $15 million wind farm generates about $3 million. =
=20
Conservation Consultants=01, Wind Farm USA Project works in farming areas w=
ith=20
the best wind development potential to help rural communities understand=
=20
the economic as well as environmental benefits of new wind development.=20
?
Pennsylvania will never have the best wind resources, but the remaining =20
challenges facing its wind industry can readily be overcome. The federal =
=20
Production Tax Credit should be extended for several years, the Pennsylvani=
a =20
Wind Development Program should be expanded, and system operators should=20
correct their rules in order to eliminate unnecessary barriers to the=20
development of our burgeoning wind industry.=20
?
Ultimately, consumer demand may resolve these problems. If consumer demand =
=20
is strong enough, the manufacturers, markets, systems operators and others=
=20
will find doing business in Pennsylvania wind to be just another day at th=
e=20
office, or should we say, down on the farm.

My sources tell me this means NIMO will continue to assign CES CNG capacity
unless CES can prove they have primary firm to NIMO. What I'm not sure of is
will NIMO start assigning CES the upstream Tetco capacity.
Scott, who at CES worked with NIMO on the capacity elections?

Hi Molly,
I don't know if this will effect Enron or not - I don't even know if Columbia
Energy had any firm capacity off of CNG released through NIMO, but just in
case, I though you might like to know about this.
Sorry I am not much of a help here.
Thanks!

to
you. However, if the contract has expired, you must either re-submit an
Affidavit with a valid contract number or Niagara Mohawk will assign CNG
capacity to you. The Affidavits are due Niagara Mohawk by the 25th of March,

The Paul's
In short it is suggested we have a disclaimer at the front of each
description as well as a link ot the Legal & Provacy statement.
I do not like the idea of a disclaimer on the front of each description so
what about putting one at the bottom of the market info page where the names
of the markets are displayed?
Justin, would this be acceptable. The Market Info page is a page which lists
the names of the markets and the user selects the appropriate description
from there. Can you suggest an appropriate discliamer to put in?
Thanks

Justin,
I have now reviewed the market descriptions. As instructed, I have not
sought advice from Nick O'Neill or Charlotte Stalin on the regulatory issues
which may arise from this. I understand that you will be considering these.
I confirm that there does not appear to be anything obnoxious in these
descriptions. However, I should say that I am not an expert on the subject
matter of the descriptions and therefore, I would only be able to spot very
obvious problems. Clearly, you need to be comfortable that the contents of
them are true and not defamatory. For example, where you have stated that an
entity is a monopoly you must be sure that this is the case.
Ideally, you should have a statement on the screen that this is provided for
information purposes only and should not be relied on. If this is
unacceptable (and ideally in addition to that statement), there should be a
link to the legal and privacy statement.
Kind regards.
Andrew

after checking with Paul Portney and with Pankaj. I offer these very, very
preliminary thoughts just to start you thinking - do you want your UK
colleagues on the program; do we want some ancillary events? After getting
your views on questions such as these, I can make more definite suggestions.
I certainly think that we should convene a few hours before the opening
dinner so that the advisors can have a tour of the building and the
facilities. Also, I am hoping that Steve will leave some time on this trip
for a tour of the new BA headquarters - very innovative.
We should consider doing something on the global warming question from the
viewpoint of the Europeans. Start with three recommendations on the political
side that Paul received from David Victor of the Council on Foreign Relations
(characterized as "a VERY smart guy on climate"):
Tony Brenton (Deputy chief of mission, UK embassy in DC. Has been on UK
climate delegations for a decade; smart and lively; pragmatic; insightful).
Bo Kjellen (Swedish head of delegation; knows European politics inside out;
big figure in Europe).
Tubiana, Laurence (Conseil d'Analyse Economique, France; knows the issue and
can speak to French position, but may not have the gravitas of Kjellen or
Brenton).
Among other ideas (I have winnowed out several) is a guy named Liam
Salter at Climate Network Europe. Brussels based, but relatively junior. Paul
also recommends a woman by the name of Laurence Tubiana, an economist in the
French government's equivalent of the CEA; she has a reputation as a good
presenter and a good economist.
WOULD YOU PLEASE CHECK THESE FOLKS OUT WITH YOUR LONDON PEOPLE, AND GET
ADDITIONAL NAMES FROM THEM. THE GOAL IS TO GIVE ALL OF US A PERSPECTIVE ON
THE EUROPEAN VIEW ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES - UNLESS YOU THINK THAT NOT A
USEFUL TOPIC.
I turn now to Pankaj's suggestion, which I transmit verbatim: "I remember
promising to scout around and see if there were a European whom it would be
interesting to invite to talk to the Enron International Advisory Council
about the (non) convergence of governance structures in Europe, particularly
on the Continent, to the U.S. model. I got the following names from Jay
Lorsch (apparently all members of the committee steering a multifaculty
Harvard business School project on governance in comparative perspective) as
possibilities. Jay suggested that Sihler would be best (former CEO of
Henkel, very senior), Peter's second best (apparently, chairman of Amsterdam
Stock Exchange now) and Smith - formerly Managing partner at Price Waterhouse
Coopers - would be the most junior of the three. I don't personally know any
of the three."
Now some ideas of my own, again acting on the assumption that we want a
two-way educational dialogue - to give your folks in London and Europe a
run-down on the situation in the US, and the US contingent a better
understanding of how European policymakers view the issues we all face.
1.Bill Kristol on the US political scene, in which there is great
interest here, and great misunderstanding of the Bush administration. We
might also consider inviting Larry Lindsey or some other Bush person if
allowed to do so.
2. Someone on the European view on global warming (see suggestions above).
3. Energy regulation in the UK. Callum McCarthy.
4. Economic outlook. Gavyn Davies (usual talk).
5. What went wrong in California (great interest in that over here) and
how to fix it. Steve could do this, or you could invite Bill Hogan (just
joking) or the chairman of FERC if we are allowed to pay his way.
6. Motivating people in a multinational, multicultural organization. If
this is of interest, I can get recommendations for speakers.
7. I would be inclined to add a high-level speaker on the state of
US-UK-European relations, perhaps as a dinner speaker. Between Gavyn and me,
we might be able to get Chancellor Gordon Brown, a very interesting guy, and
the inventor of the "climate change levy" that is driving industry in this
country nuts.
Please look this over. Steve and I have to get together, preferably with
Ken, which leads me to suggest Aspen during the Institute's energy forum,
which I understand Ken will be attending. But if that is not feasible, Steve
and I can work out a date for a preliminary meeting, followed up by one with
Ken at his convenience.

Facundo: Essie and I will confirm with Donette tomorrow, but for the time being, plan on reversing the $710 million book loss on the entities listed below (if you determine that they were in fact booked) and include Schedule M adjustments to deduct as interest expense the purchase price paid by Harrier $6 mill., Roadrunner and Grizzly $15 mill. each, and Pronghorn $1,000 for the lower tier entities purchased from LJM.
We will confirm and let you know before noon tomorrow. Thanks, John.

I just talked to Ron Baker, who advised me that the total losses to be booked are $710,594,336 and they will be booked as follows:
Raptor I Harrier I LLC $406,326,409
Raptor II Grizzly I LLC $15,531,889
Raptor III Pronghorn I LLC $309,508,781
Raptor IV Roadrunner I LLC ($20,772,742)
Please check SAP to see if the numbers have been booked before the close as Ron wasn't sure if they had been booked or not.

Facundo: See the note below. Please note that you will need to reverse the book loss recorded on the upper tier entities (Harrier, Roadrunner, Pronghorn and Grizzley) for the purchase of the lower tier entities in the amount of about $600 million. In place of the reversal of the book loss, you should record a tax Schedule M to deduct the same (about $600 million) of interest expense. I am working with Essie to determine which entities will report how much of the $600 million purchase price. Thanks, John.

Essie:
The purpose of this message is to communicate to you, for co-ordination with the appropriate "MARC" personnel, the relevant facts of the transactions that closed on Friday, September 28, to unwind the Raptor structures. As I likely will not return to the office until just at the time of September close, I thought it might make sense for you, with Brent's assistance, to make sure that the appropriate reporting personnel are notified of the tax adjustments that should be made to book these transactions.
Each of the "top tier" Raptor entities (Harrier, Roadrunner, Pronghorn, and Grizzly) "purchased" from LJM the membership interest that LJM owned in the "bottom tier" Raptor entities (Talon, Bobcat, Porcupine, and Timberwlf, respectively). Harrier paid $6 mil, Roadrunner and Grizzly each paid $15 mil, and Pronghorn paid $1,000. As a result of these transactions, the purchased entities became book consolidated with Enron. Also as a result of these transactions, a total book loss of around $600 mil was recorded (divided among the books of each one of the four structures).
For tax purposes, the purchasing and purchased entities are all disregarded entities of Enron Corp. (or EES, in the case of Pronghorn and Porcupine). The repurchases are to be treated as merely a final payment made by Enron Corp. (or EES, as the case may be) on a contingent debt instrument. Accordingly, the entire book loss should be reversed for tax, and instead an interest deduction recorded on the tax books of each purchasing entity for the amount that was paid to purchase the bottom tier entity. For examply, Harrier will record an interest expense deduction for $6 mil.
We have not been told yet exactly how the book loss will be spread among the four structures, and whether it will be booked on the top tier or bottom tier entities' books. Ron Baker likely will have an answer on this issue by the time you see this message.
Please leave me a voice mail if you need assistance before I return to the office on October 10. Thanks!

script. Should we have the consultants prominantly feature "IPEC
Busters"??? Unless we are pretty sure the judge will keep it out on
relevance grounds, it might be useful to at least get some juror reactions to
it. With or without the specific IPEC Busters stuff, we probably ought to
assume that Jad's theme will be that Northern's whole philosophy was to
breach contracts without flinching if it served our commercial interests.
The vitriol from P&P and the other producers plays into that theme. Maybe we
ought to spice that part of the script up a bit also just so we can see how
our response plays. DF |

LME Base Metals:Aluminum Ends Officials Dn On Fresh Sales
07/06/2001
Dow Jones Commodities Service
(Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)
LONDON -(Dow Jones)- London Metal Exchange three-month aluminum ended
officials lower Friday from Thursday's late kerb, on heavy fresh speculator
selling in Asian trade and an unexpected stock build, dealers said.
(LME three-month prices in dollars a metric ton at officials, with the
previous late kerb close in brackets. Comex copper at 1324 GMT in cents a
pound, with the previous close in brackets.)
Copper 1,562.50 (1,560.00) Tin 4,537.50 (4,535.00)
Aluminum 1,449.50 (1,451.50) Zinc 886.25 (884.50)
Nickel 5,975.00 (5,962.50) Lead 459.50 (450.50)
Comex Sep Copper 70.25 (70.85)
The Asian selloff forced aluminum down to a one-year low at $1,434/ton, and
after some early forward buying interest in the pre-market in London, the
market took a further blow as LME stock movements were released.
Aluminum stocks rose 1,450 tons Friday, bringing total stocks to 626,550
tons.
"It (the stock increase) was fairly unexpected, but it exposes the slackening
demand that has characterized this market for the last six months," said one
LME dealer.
The move kept aluminum prices depressed for much of the morning, before more
forward and bank buying emerged in the first two rings to pull prices off the
lows for officials.
Aluminum's early falls pulled the already nervous copper market to a two-year
low at $1,552/ton, and although the latter's stock rise was much more
considerable, it had been expected, dealers said.
Copper stocks in LME warehouses have risen by over 50,000 tons in the last
two weeks, and a number of dealers are still insistent that another
30,000-40,000 tons will be seen in the coming two weeks.
Unconfirmed reports have said major trade house Enron is behind the stock
build, in an effort to reduce the market's nearby supply tightness and
alleviate the large short positions they are thought to have built up on the
July-for-a-week spread.
However, the stock builds are only having a limited effect in easing the
tightness.
"Everyone knows what they (Enron) are up to, and won't lend until they're
really hurting," one LME floor dealer said.
Spreads were also a focus of the tin market, where prices slumped to an
eight-year low at $4,490/ton, after the cash-to-three-month spread reverted
to a $25/ton contango Friday morning from a $60/ton backwardation at the
beginning of the week.
The move was caused by heavy lending of the nearby spreads and rolling
forward to September, a tin dealer said.
"I think we've seen the last of the tightness for a couple of months," he
added.

ENTERPRISE INTERVIEW: India's salesman to the investing world
07/06/2001
AsiaWeek
Copyright (C) 2001; Source: World Reporter (TM) - Asia Intelligence Wire
Convincing foreign investors that his country is a good place to do business
is a tough sell. But Delhi's finance minister insists that despite a few
high-profile setbacks his country offers the world's best returns
Indian finance minister Yashwant Sinha has had a roller-coaster year. In
February, he delighted foreign investors with a reformist, pro-business
budget. But days later, confidence was rocked by a stock market crash and
insider trading scandal.
Then New Delhi's first major privatization, of the BALCO aluminum plant,
sparked a crippling two-month strike by workers. Worse, India's biggest and
once most trumpeted foreign investment, Enron Corp's $3-billion Dabhol power
project, remains at a standstill following claims the Maharashtra state
government defaulted on payments. A U.S.-led $1.6-billion power project near
Madras is stalled over financing.
Recently, during a road show to Hong Kong and Singapore, Sinha spoke with
Executive Editor Richard Hornik, Managing Editor Zoher F. Abdoolcarim and
Senior Editor Cesar Bacani. Extracts from their conversation:
Can India really compete for investment?
We have completely opened up the Indian market. I know that China and other
countries have been receiving large foreign direct investments, but let's not
forget that they started much earlier on the reform path. The problem is one
of perception. We have the challenging task of explaining the new India to
the world.
Don't you also have the task of explaining it to the Indian people? Isn't
there a resentment of foreign companies left over from the colonial era?
Every government has pursued the same reform path, including welcoming
foreign direct investment. There has [also] been a very marked change from
what you referred to as the colonial past. The increasing realization is that
it is not Western multinationals that are causing problems. It is competition
from other developing countries.
There seems to be disquiet among investors, though, about high-profile cases
such as Enron and BALC0.
BALCO had nothing to do with foreign investment. It was a 100% government
company, and we decided to sell 51% along with management control. There was
some resistance, but fortunately that has been resolved. In the case of Enron
, I have clearly sent out a message to both the Maharashtra government and
[Enron] that they had to sit down in the spirit of constructive cooperation
and find a solution. Let's not [interpret] a commercial dispute involving one
company as being a major disincentive for foreign investment.
What are you doing to increase governance in the financial world?
I have told Parliament three things: That we shall adopt international best
practices so that the scope of mischief is reduced further; that we must
strengthen the market regulator; and that we want to corporatize the stock
exchanges, which are run by the brokers, so there can be no conflict of
interest.
In India, can what is manufactured by foreign-owned firms be sold locally?
Absolutely. And because of its sheer size, India's middle class of 250-300
million consumers is almost like a middle-sized [developed] country. In terms
of purchasing power parity, India is considered to be the world's third
largest economy. Another advantage for investors] is that we have a judicial
system that does justice to Indians and foreigners alike.
But it's slow - very slow.
When you say slow, there are courts of appeal from primary courts to the High
Court to the Supreme Court. You can't do away with this. You can't compare it
with autocratic regimes, where justice can be swift but at times misguided.
How is the privatization program faring?
In the case of Air India, we decided we'd retain 40%, 10% would go to
employees, another 10% would go to the market and 40% would be made available
to strategic buyers. Only 26% would go to foreign partners. Similarly we have
taken a decision to disinvest [telco] VSNL. We will privatize the domestic
airline, Indian Airlines, the largest automobile manufacturer, Maruti, and
hotels owned by the Tourism Development Corp.
What are your main frustrations?
Foreign investors have all kinds of perceptions that India is not worth doing
business with, [but] studies by independent consultants A.T. Kearney and the
Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry show foreign direct investors have
made more profits in India than anywhere else in the world and most are
bullish about the future. Now this is something that is not known.
India: Dabhol delay: RCF turns to BG
07/06/2001
Business Line (The Hindu)
Copyright (C) 2001 Kasturi & Sons Ltd (KSL); Source: World Reporter (TM) -
Asia Intelligence Wire
BANGALORE, July 5. FACED with delays in gas availability from Enron's Dabhol
regassification plant, the public sector Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilisers
Ltd (RCF), has turned to British Gas (BG) for supply of liquefied natural gas
(LNG) to meet its feed stock requirements. Speaking to reporters here today,
the RCF Chairman and Managing Director, Mr D.K. Verma, said that RCF's
requirement of LNG was about 1.5 million tonnes per annum.
As per the agreement with Enron, the LNG supply was expected to have begun
from Dabhol to its Thal plant in Maharashtra. Enron's requirement for power
generation was only about 2.5 million tonnes and the remaining was expected
to be sold to third parties which included RCF.
However, he said, these supplies were faced with uncertainty in view of the
stand-off between the Maharashtra State Electricity Board and Enron.
Asked if this would lead to a termination of the agreement with Enron, he
said: "We still need LNG. When supply from Dabhol is available we will pick
it up."
In addition to this supply, BG was also expected to supply another 1.7
million from Gujarat to the Trombay plant of RCF. This requirement was in
view of the capacity expansion that has been proposed for the urea plant. The
capacity of the urea plant is to be raised to 2.3 million tonnes from the
current level of 1.5 million tonnes. This expansion is expected to cost at
least Rs 1,400 crore, of which Rs 800 crore would be funded from RCF's cash
reserves.
The debt component is expected to be raised from ICICI. "We are a zero-debt
company now and can afford to have a little debt on our balance sheet," he
said. The company, he said, was also preparing to expand its DAP (di-ammonium
phosphate) capacity in Rajasthan at a cost of Rs 300 crore. This four-lakh
tonne per annum plant was being set up with 25 per cent equity support each
from Hindustan Zinc Ltd and Rajasthan Mines and Minerals Corporation Ltd. The
remaining 50 per cent would be entirely held by RCF itself, he added.
Mr Verma indicated that a final decision on the expansion of the urea plant
would be taken by the company's board only after the interim fertiliser
policy was announced by the Centre. This policy is expected to provide for a
pricing policy and prepare the industry for complete dismantling of the
retention pricing mechanism.
He said that the industry was also looking forward to supplies of LNG from
Iran. Supply of gas through the pipeline route via Pakistan would be more
cost-effective than the submarine pipeline proposed.

`Reduce government debt by Rs 2000 crore
ET Interview / Shalini Singh
07/06/2001
The Economic Times
Copyright (C) 2001 The Economic Times; Source: World Reporter (TM)
FOR an organisation that has done its best to boost sentiment by repeatedly
announcing that it expects the economy to grow by 6.5 to 7 per cent this
year, the Confederation of Indian Industries, finds the current official
projections of 5.2 per cent way down at the lower end of their own forecast.
I believe our projections were realistic considering that on the economic
front all the macro-fundamentals are in place. The policies are in place.
It is just that the implementation of these policies is not happening. And
that is the only reason for a lower growth rate than was envisaged by
industry.
No. There is no way that can happen. On the other hand, with some hard
decisions, we could still move closer to a growth of 6.5 per cent.
The most radical would be a dramatic reduction in government debt by Rs
20,000 crore right away. We need to examine what we need to do to achieve
this level of reduction and the whole country needs to cooperate in the
effort.
The whole nation needs to rally around the FM if he makes these moves. We
need to move ahead on disinvestment, on reduction in expenditure.
What we are additionally prescribing is that issues and policies which have
been committed should be implemented. Implementation is going to be the key
to success.
The CII is preparing to submit, over the next fortnight, a list of 20
projects in housing, power, roads, railways and civil aviation to the
government to be monitored on a weekly basis to stimulate growth.
Growth can also be stimulated by increased government spending on creating
world class capitals for the three new states Uttaranchal, Jharkhand and
Chhatisgarh.
With an expenditure of just Rs 10-15,000 crore, the government can stimulate
demand in cement, power, roads and infrastructure. The funds are there. It is
just that there is no thought or planning in this direction yet.
The third thing that we are prescribing is that interest rates must come
down. I disagree with the RBIs stand on interest rates. Like in the US, we
too must respond quickly and proactively to the slowdown.
Fourthly, we have an overvalued exchange rate and we believe it is time we
moved to a realistic exchange rate. We are just about to see the first
effects of an overvalued rupee on the growth rate of exports and we need to
arrest this declining rate of export growth.
On the contrary, there is recognition and respect for the government that
despite a global slowdown, India is still the second fastest growing economy
after China.
Any disappointment that is voiced is actually in the spirit of moving to
better performance rather than a critique of the establishment.
I truly believe we are today at the threshold of a unique opportunity.
Different countries the US, EU, Malaysia and so on want to engage in trade
with India in a manner that nobody has looked at before.
President Bush and the Bush administration want to engage in a substantial
trade relationship with India which is based on mutually beneficial long-term
relationships. It offers India a unique window.
There is huge respect for Mr Vajpayee, Mr Jaswant Singh and Mr Yashwant
Sinha. The world is recognising Indias potential.
Enron is an issue in the minds of the Americans that is stalling investment
commitment, despite this respect, and this must be addressed quickly if we
are to maximise on our overseas business dialogue.
RCF plans to ink supply pact with British Gas

Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilisers Ltd (RCF) is planning to sign an agreement
with British Gas for supply of gas to meet its fleet stock needs.
RCF chairman and managing director D K Verma told newspersons that the
company's requirement of LNG was about 1.5 million tonne per annum. As per
its existing agreement with Enron, LNG supply should have already began from
Dabhol to its Thal plant in Maharashtra.
Enron's requirement for power generation was only about 2./5 million tonne
and the remaining was to be sold to third parties including RCF. The RCF, CMD
said that these supplies now faced an uncertain future, because of the
stand-off between MSEB and Enron.
Asked if it would lead to a termination of the agreement with Enron, he said
"We still need LNG. If supply is available from Dabhol we will pick it up,"
he said in reaction to a question on whether it would lead to a termination
of RCF's agreement with Enron.
In addition to this supply, British Gas is also expected to supply another
1.7 million tonne to the Trombay plant of RCF. This requirement was in view
of the capacity expansion that has been proposed for the urea plant of RCF.
"The capacity of the urea plant is to be raised from 2.3 million tonne from
the production level of 1.5 million tonne." This expansion is expected to
cost at least Rs 1,400 crore, of which Rs 800 crore would be funded from
RCF's cash reserves, he said.
The debt component is expected to be raised from ICICI. The company he said
was also preparing to expand DAP in Rajasthan for Rs 300 crore.
This 4 lakh tonne per annum plant was being set up with 25 per cent equity
support each from Hindustan Zinc and the Rajasthan Mines and Minerals
Corporation. The remaining 50 per cent would be held by RCF itself.
Verma also said that the final decision of the expansion of the urea plant
would be taken by the board of the company only after the interim fertiliser
policy announcement to be announced by the Centre.
The policy is expected to provide an interim measure of fertiliser pricing
and prepare the industry for complete dismantling of the retention pricing
mechanism.

Economics fuels power solution in California Price relief gains political
support
Robert Gibbons, BridgeNews

North Sports Final ; N

Political pressure coming from the U.S. Congress and politicians from Western
states seems to have influenced the approach to the power crisis, despite
opposition to price caps in the Bush administration.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in June expanded price mitigation
measures on wholesale electricity sales in California during periods when
blackouts are possible.
The measures encourage generators to sell power into the state to prevent
emergency alerts from being declared, which trigger price caps. The move came
with support growing in Congress, especially among representatives of Western
states on both sides of the aisle, for legislation that would have capped
wholesale prices in the region.
The macroeconomic force may have been the difference between the $7 billion
cost of power for California in 1999 and its rise to approximately $27
billion in 2000. The cost is estimated to reach between $50 billion and $70
billion in 2001.
With that kind of money at stake, suddenly the concern becomes less a
question of who is responsible for the problem, but rather, how it can be
solved quickly to prevent harsh political consequences.
California Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer has conducted an investigation into the
actions of power generators and offered multimillion dollar rewards to
whistleblowers to provide evidence of price manipulation by independent power
generators. The state is seeking refunds of $8.9 billion, the amount it
estimates independent power generators overcharged California's troubled
utilities.
The U.S. General Accounting Office has released a report criticizing the FERC
for not finding evidence of power generators using plant outages to drive up
prices in California.
"FERC's [February] study was not thorough enough to support its overall
conclusion that audited companies were not physically withholding electricity
supply to influence prices," the GAO found.
Of the major independent power generators and marketers, like Reliant Energy,
Dynegy, Duke Energy and Enron, only Williams and its CEO Keith Bailey came
out in April in favor of some sort of short- term price relief for
California.
"The political dynamic out there is much more Draconian than what we're
proposing," Bailey told analysts in April, defending Williams' position
supporting some limited, short-term price mitigation.
What he was worried about was California Gov. Gray Davis using eminent domain
powers to take over power plants and the state setting up a public power
authority to build state-owned plants.

Regional: Enron in talks with Gulf LNG producers

The US' Enron Corporation is in talks with Abu Dhabi Gas Liquefaction Company
(Adgas), Qatar's Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Company (RasGas) and Oman
LNG Company to finalise short-term spot agreements for liquefied natural gas
(LNG).
"The target markets are the East Coast of the US and Europe," says an
industry official. "Deliveries are presently being made to the US under an
agreement with Oman LNG."
Enron signed a master agreement with Oman LNG in mid-2000 for the export of
six 87,000-cubic-metre cargoes. The US energy firm has already taken two
cargoes under the deal (MEED 22:6:01). "Enron is looking to increase the
off-take from Oman," the official says. The US energy firm has been in talks
with RasGas since 1997 for a short-term spot sales and purchase agreement.
Enron will use an 87,000-cubic-metre LNG carrier, Hoegh Galleon, that its
owns and operates, for shipments of LNG after it finalises the deals with the
three Gulf LNG producers.
Two new LNG carriers, each of 138,000 cubic metres in capacity, will enter
into service by the summer of 2002 and will trade from the Gulf to the US and
Europe. By the end of 2001, Enron will take delivery of Laxmi, at present
under construction in South Korea. The vessel is owned jointly by Japan's
Mitsui OSK Line, Shipping Corporation of India and Enron. In July 2002, the
second new carrier, Excalibur, will join Enron's LNG fleet.
Gulf LNG producers are also monitoring a plan by the US' CMS Energy to double
the capacity of its LNG terminal at Lake Charles in Louisiana. "The demand
for LNG in the southern American market is projected to increase, as CMS
plans to build two new LNG terminals on the east and west coasts of Mexico,"
says the industry official.
CMS has signed agreements for 10 cargoes of Qatari LNG. Three cargoes were
scheduled for delivery from Qatar Liquefied Gas Company and the remaining
seven from RasGas. CMS has been a regular purchaser of spot LNG cargoes from
Qatar over the past three years (MEED 19:5:00).

Dabhol Project Vexes Foreign Firms --- If Enron's Dispute in India Isn't
Resolved, Other Investments Could Suffer --- Regulators and Courts Throw in a
New Twist
By Daniel Pearl
Staff Reporter
07/06/2001
The Asian Wall Street Journal

(Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)
BOMBAY -- Once touted as a beacon for attracting foreign investment to India,
Enron Corp.'s $3 billion Dabhol Power Co. project has turned into a nuisance
for some foreign companies doing business in the country.
Behind the scenes, some of them are now maneuvering to help resolve a dispute
between Dabhol and the Indian state of Maharashtra that is at the core of the
project's problems.
The largest-ever foreign investment in India, Dabhol is mired in conflict.
Maharashtra, Dabhol's only customer, has stopped purchasing power from the
740-megawatt project, saying its rates are too high. Work has stopped on a
nearly completed second phase of the project slated to generate 1,444
megawatts. Enron, which controls 65% of the project, has tried unsuccessfully
to scale back its stake and may be looking to exit entirely.
In an effort to get the electricity project back on track, some of the
project's foreign lenders -- including ABN Amro, Bank of America Corp. and
Credit Suisse First Boston -- sent representatives to a recent meeting here
with Maharashtra's electricity board. Dabhol's difficulties are making
lenders wary about funding other power projects in the country, and could
make states bolder about seeking new contract terms.
That has left other power companies increasingly nervous about Dabhol. Some
have signaled they could be interested in taking over the project if its
contract problems can be settled. Dabhol participants still aren't sure if
the interest is sincere or is an attempt by the other companies to prevent
collateral damage to their own projects. India's Reliance Industries Ltd.,
which, in partnership with Southern Co. of Atlanta, is hoping to build a big
plant in eastern India, doesn't deny media speculation that it is interested
in Dabhol. Nor does Arlington, Virginia-based AES Corp., whose generating
company has had disputes with India's Orissa state.
Prakash Daryani, managing director for Houston-based El Paso Corp.'s Indian
power unit, says that if the Dabhol contract isn't resolved in a way that
makes both the utility and Maharashtra happy, "it will have an adverse
impact" on other investments, and "El Paso will not be an exception." He
denies reports that El Paso, which helped build a 340-megawatt plant in
Southern India, has expressed interest in buying Dabhol, but adds: "We are
keeping our eyes and ears open."
Some companies may be doing more than that. Patrick Sonti, a New Delhi-based
energy consultant, said he had helped draft a plan outlining a way out of the
Dabhol impasse, with price concessions on both sides and financial separation
of Enron's liquefied-natural gas terminal from the power plant. Mr. Sonti
says he studied Dabhol for a client whose name he can't disclose. Mr. Sonti
also chairs an American Chamber of Commerce committee on energy, and he
acknowledges discussing his Dabhol plan with some of the panel's members. He
says the Chamber wouldn't intervene unless asked by Enron.
Last time the project ran into trouble with the state, Enron executives saved
it through an intensive lobbying campaign, aided by American officials. Next
week, the company's chairman, Kenneth Lay, is expected to fly to India,
though Enron won't comment on whom he intends to visit.
Even though Enron and Maharashtra officials have met regularly, their dispute
has fallen into a slow-motion stalemate, with Enron saying it hasn't agreed
to renegotiate the contract and the state insisting it has already rescinded
the contract. Despite warnings that construction delays will increase the
project's cost by up to $400 million, Vinay Bansal, chairman of the
electricity board, said Monday that getting the project's second phase
running is "not a priority for us," since the state can't afford the power.
The Dabhol contract requires the state to pay for most of the plant's
generating capacity regardless of how much power it consumes. Maharashtra's
consumption has been far below projections.
Mr. Bansal wants India's central government to help buy excess power from
Dabhol, but "they keep saying no." Other states would be willing to buy power
if the rates could be lowered to 2.50 rupees (5.3 cents) a unit, but that's
still well below Dabhol officials' most optimistic projection.
Meanwhile, India's regulators and courts are throwing in new twists. The
Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission, set up as an independent body
to regulate electricity rates, is seeking jurisdiction over the Dabhol
dispute, even though the commission was created after the Dabhol contract was
signed. Enron wants an arbitration panel to decide instead. A Bombay judge
issued a ruling last week that is likely to send the jurisdiction battle to
India's Supreme Court.
If Enron loses that battle, it is likely to lose more time. "We'll make the
process totally transparent," the chairman of the Maharashtra Electricity
Regulatory Commission, P. Subramanyam, promised in an interview earlier this
year.
But if Dabhol construction doesn't resume by summer's end, Enron's suppliers
of liquefied natural gas are likely to get nervous. Dabhol has 20-year
contracts requiring it to buy liquefied natural gas from Abu Dhabi and Oman
starting next year. As for the lenders, Indian banks have more to lose than
foreign banks if Dabhol, starved of revenue, continues to miss payments. That
is because much of the foreign debt is guaranteed by the Indian banks, led by
state-controlled Industrial Development Bank of India. For the project's
second phase, foreign debt totals nearly $1.1 billion, and domestic debt
about $330 million. Lenders haven't yet agreed to inject more funds to allow
construction to resume.
"I don't think there is any division among lenders at the moment as to what
should be done," says an international lender involved in the talks. "But
this is not an easy workout, having so many parties involved in so many parts
of the world."
Enron May Spin Off Enron Wind Unit This Year, Reuters Reports
2001-07-06 07:18 (New York)
Copenhagen, July 6 (Bloomberg) -- Enron Corp. may spin off
its wind-power unit Enron Wind as early as this year, Reuters
reported, citing comments made by Enron Wind managing director
Andreas Reuter on Wednesday.
The unit most likely would be taken over by an investor and
then shares sold in an initial public stock offering, Reuters
reported, citing comments Reuter made on the sidelines of a
European Wind Energy Conference and exhibition in Copenhagen.
Enron Wind is concentrating its expansion plans on France,
Ireland and the Netherlands, Reuter said.
Enron Wind currently produces power in Germany and Spain and
would consider moving to the U.K. as well if that market ``starts
moving,'' Reuters reported, citing Reuter.

Davis Appeals Order to Release Calif. Power Contracts (Update2)
2001-07-05 17:31 (New York)
Davis Appeals Order to Release Calif. Power Contracts (Update2)
(Adds details on filing of governor's appeal.)
San Diego, July 5 (Bloomberg) -- California Governor Gray
Davis has appealed a state judge's order to release records of how
much the state spent purchasing power on the spot market.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Linda Quinn ruled last week
that the governor had to produce spot market invoices, purchase
orders and confirmation sheets for power supply contracts signed
from January 1 through June 27.
Quinn directed Davis to produce the documents by July 16, but
she temporarily suspended her order today to allow a state appeals
court to consider the governor's appeal, which was filed Tuesday.
Several media organizations and Republican state legislators
sued in March under California's public records law to obtain the
contracts, arguing that the state used billions in taxpayer money
to buy power.
``There's an obvious and manifest public interest in
disclosure of these contracts,'' said Alonzo Wickers, a lawyer
representing the media companies, at a hearing last week.
Davis countered that disclosure would hurt the state's
bargaining position with generators and force it to pay higher
prices.
Media companies had also sought disclosure of 38 uncensored
long-term contracts to buy $43 billion in electricity. State
Controller Kathleen Connell released those contracts on Monday.
Connell, a fellow Democrat, has criticized the governor for
keeping the contracts secret. She also released terms of
consulting contracts the state made with investment advisers and
energy traders.
Power Purchases
The state has spent about $7.4 billion buying electricity for
three investor-owned utilities. The state's Department of Water
Resources now buys about one-third of the power used by the
state's two largest utilities, PG&E Corp.'s Pacific Gas & Electric
and Edison International's Southern California Edison. Pacific Gas
declared bankruptcy in April.
Legislators and consumer groups have criticized Davis, saying
the state is locking itself into expensive long-term contracts
that would force it to pay higher rates for electricity in future
years.
Those seeking access to the long-term and spot-market
contract information include Copley Press Inc., Tribune Co.'s Los
Angeles Times and Bloomberg LP's Bloomberg News. State Assemblyman
Tony Strickland, joined by 10 fellow Republican Assembly members,
filed a similar suit in March.

NewPower to Acquire Customers From AES and DTE Energy (Update2)
(Adds closing share prices in last paragraph.)
Purchase, New York, July 5 (Bloomberg) -- NewPower Holdings
Inc., a venture formed last year by Enron Corp., agreed to acquire
customers and assets from subsidiaries of AES Corp. and DTE Energy
Co. to expand in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
NewPower, which sells electricity and natural gas to homes
and small businesses, will buy customers and assets such as
natural-gas inventory and supply contracts from AES Power Direct
and DTE's CoEnergy unit. Financial terms won't be disclosed,
NewPower spokeswoman Terri Cohen said.
The acquisitions will add 82,000 customers in Ohio and more
than 38,000 customers in Pennsylvania for NewPower. The company,
which had an initial stock sale in October, competes for energy
sales in Pennsylvania, Texas and other states.
NewPower, based in Purchase, New York, has more than 630,000
customers in 10 states and expects to have 1.2 million customers
by the end of the year. Houston-based Enron, the largest energy
trader, owns about 23 percent of NewPower.
Shares of NewPower rose 8 cents to $8.83. They have fallen
58 percent since the initial offering. AES, based in Arlington,
Virginia, fell 93 cents to $42.07. Detroit-based DTE rose 18 cents
to $46.68.

I went motorcycle riding last night - I think I need to get some better
winter riding gear.
We will definitely go to court next Tuesday at 1:00 PM. All we are doing
is verifying Dad's signature on the will. Once the judge sees us it should
only take about five minutes.
That's all I have for now. |

Subject: Ask for a favor
Rob,
Happy New Year!
How have you been doing? Last time when I talked to Blanca after the latest
reorg, she said that it hadn't been announced how Southern Cone was going to
be. How's it going now?
After nearly 3 years with Enron, I plan to go back to B school. I want to
apply for Rice Executive MBA because this will be the most efficient way for
me. Besides, I plan to apply two other full-time MBA programs. You have been
my supervisor for one year. Although that was my first year with Enron, that
assignment was quite important to me. I've learned a lot through that year
and later I realize more and more the creativeness and greatness of the Debt
Fund. The year with Debt Fund was an important phase of my professional
history. May I ask you to be one of my evaluators? As you know, the
competition for B school is always hard. A strong recommendation from you, a
person in senior management will be crucial for my application. The deadline
for Rice is Jan. 15. I'm sorry to give you such a short time. With the other
two, I plan to finish them by the end of January or early Feburary. I
appreciate it very much if you could spare me some time.
Thank you in advance for your generous help.
Regards,
Maggie |

Mike Rabon had just forwarded to me this helpful synopsis of the opportunity
with Kinko's as he sees it. I would like to forward this on to James
Thompson to assist him in targeting the right person for us to work with (and
cc Mike Rabon). Is this a good idea to forward on the e-mail or is it
overkill given the e-mail I sent yesterday? Second, could I mention "Gary
King" Mike Rabon's Kinko's contact in the e-mail?
Thanks for your suggestion! SJ
Mr. Thompson:
Here are several "touchpoints" identified by Mike Rabon, the Enron Broadband
Services originator, which may facilitate your finding the appropriate
broadband solutions architect at Kinko's. You may recall having met Mike
Rabon in the October 6th meeting.
Kinko's has an IP network today with access to all branches. Kinko's had
expressed the need to add more hubs to that network and make some changes to
it in the spring 2001 time frame. Enron's goal would be to make a needs
assessment for the desired structure that Kinko's would like to see as it
pertains to:
Near term network planning.
IP Transport - Capacity requirements for Mbps, and burst potential.
IP Transit - Capacity requirements and current contract usage for internet
transit. Kinkos.com in particular has a high potential for IP transit
capacity.
Storage - As the hubs and branch numbers grow, there may be a need for
managed storage. Enron's solution will reduce, or eliminate the need to buy
storage devices. Mike Rabon would like to speak with someone at Kinko's about
your storage strategy and growth.
Collocation - There is a substantial opportunity for Enron to provide the
actual space to be used for the hubs, as well as the IP transport from the
hubs.
Interactive Video - Enron's IPNet Connect product will allow high quality
H.323 video conferencing at bandwidths well above 768K. Utilizing the Enron
IPNet Connect network installed to branches can allow video costs to be
significantly reduced, and allow much higher video quality. Enron's
utilization of IP precedence will allow business traffic, internet traffic
and video traffic to traverse the same network. Mike Rabon would like to
speak to the Video Conferencing product manager.
Risk Management - Enron's expertise in Risk Management needs to be
communicated to the proper person. |

CSFB informed us today that their Appalachia hedging deal will likely happen
in the next two weeks. The deal, in short, involves Enron buying an average
volume of 11,500 mmBtu/d at TCO and 5,500 mmBtu/d at CNG for 12 years and 1
month from Dec00.
CSFB would like to get an idea of where the market is now. I've attached a
spreadsheet that details the volumes, which decline with time. Could you
please provide indicative prices, as of tonight's close.

Subject: Credit Applicatiions in GRMS
THIS NOTE IS FROM TED MURPHY (not bjorn hagelman)
My understanding is that yet another meeting has been scheduled with the
intent
of diverting resources from the GRMS project to some other project.
While I am not privy to the urgency of this other project, I do know that we
have a very large, multi -phase project going in GRMS.
GRMS stands for the GLOBAL RISK MONITORING SYSTEM. It is not intended to be a
commercial trading product not is its primary purpose for commercial
decision-making. Conceptually, it is a risk warehouse for the primary purpose
of RAC due to the deficiency of current front office trading systems and their
inability to provide timely, aggregated information useful to RAC.
RAC has spent over a year developing a business plan scope and detailed task
list to accomplish its objectives. As a firm we are woefully behind our press
clippings in our ability to aggregate and understand our risk profile. My
most
recent sojorn in Europe is a classic example of the current systems inabilty
to
aggregate and meet the needs of RAC having abetted poor decision making and
causing cash losses in well in excess of the GRMS budget or that of the Market
Risk Group in RAC.
The GRMS project is a requirement that Bill Bradford and I have in order to do
our jobs. We have delegated authority to Debbie Brackett and Rudi Zipter to
make decisions regarding priorities and as such meet regularly with Jonathon
and
his team as well as Rick Buy to provide updates. While progress is never as
fast as we would like it, in every instance in which we have only to rely on
RAC, Jonathon's team and Research to make a deadline it haas been hit. The
primary reason for any delays whatsoever has been the diversion of resources
off
the project or the reliance for cooperation from some other source - most
recently the IT staff in London was a tremendous impediment to deadlines.
Please excuse the frustration that is apparently coming through in this note,
but I feel like the boy with his finger in the dyke and no one is listening.
Also, I have had several employees come to resignation over their frustration
on
the lack of management support for this project, usually manifesting itself in
the lack of resources or the diversion of resources devoted to it.
I think we have proven collectively that we can organize a modular multiphase
project and provide tangible deliverables when not distracted. Please let us
do
our jobs. I do not denigrate the efforts of others, but I believe that they
must either submit their detailed requirements to us for our consideration of
their worthiness to put in OUR que or develop their own project with their own
resources.
Thank you for your consideration of this opinion. As it relates to things
that
will effect the ability of Market Risk to do its job, please consult me as I
would you.

Notice
Effective Monday, November 20, 2000 at 10:00 a.m., and until further notice,
AGLC is issuing a demand mismatch order for the following primary pools. This
notice is revised to include the Ex- Atlanta Southern Group and The Ex-
Atlanta Transco Group. We apologize for the confusion the previous alerts may
have caused.
ATLANTA, EX-ATLANTA SNG, MACON, AUGUSTA , Rome and EX-ATLANTA TRANSCO.
Based on the current supply levels and expected demand levels, AGLC's system
cannot manage the potential excess demand and the operational integrity of
the system will be threatened. Therefore, it is essential that your
interruptible customer's demand does not exceed the scheduled supply for your
interruptible market for each primary pool under the demand mismatch order.
Each shipper/pooler/marketer is responsible for contacting their
interruptible customers to curtail demand if necessary to meet this order.

ok, but lets just release in San Diego. If your strategy is the legislature,
as well as future sales,
lets also say we are announcing our 100th agreement this year or something
like that. Peggy

I would like this to be visable (i.e., something we can point to with the
legislature). I see your point but more than likely, if we ever source some
customer's from SDG&E, it will be a select group. I firmly believe if we
ever made a decision to source all of the customer's from SDG&E, it would be
because we have choosen to leave CA.
I am willing to take a chance with this one. Your thoughts?

We have a fixed price contract for 6 years and 8 months with Helix Water
District.
The fixed price contract avoids California price volatility and insures
budget certainty for Helix. Helix strongly believes in direct access.
The contract is for 12 million kilowatt hours per year.
I will have total annual dollar and total contract value this Thursday.
There is a new facility being added this summer that will expand the totals.
Helix serves the San Diego suburbs of La Mesa, El Cajon, and Spring Valley.
They are going to announce our agreement at their board meeting this
Wednesday, March 21st.
After that announcement, the are willing to proactively participate in a
press release expounding the benefits of our arrangement.

vehicles, a trade in value (what you might expect to get for a vehicle from a
dealer on trade in) and a retail value (what you might expect to pay for a
vehicle from a dealer). The following were the values it came up with for a
Jeep exactly like mine in Montana (closest state).
Trade In - $15330 USD ($22750 CND)
Retail - $20945 USD ($31061 CND)
The retail number seems way too high. I think something like $23 000 to
$25000 would be fair.

1. From your email it appears to me that there would be no legal reason
prohibiting your Australian based counterparties from trading all of the
products we offer, however, except for financial Australian power, the
contracting Enron entity will have to be the party referenced on the
particular product. It appears that the only product Credit has currently
opened the Australian based counterparties to trade anyway is Australian
financial power.
2. Will you be approving the Australian based counterparties for trading?
Dave Forster appears to want me to approve Australian based counterparties
too, which doesn't make sense to me and Mark Taylor. What are your thoughts
on this? I guess EnronOnline just does not want a third Legal contract they
are going to have to deal with on an ongoing basis. FYI, I currently do not
approve the London based counterparties.
3. The Australian company number. Does that have to go on every
confirmation done with an Australian counterparty? If it does we will need
to make sure that it gets put on every confirmation. It is my understanding
that the confirmations for online trading will be generated from Houston so
we will have to provide every company number to the Houston Confirmation Desk.
FYI, tomorrow at the end of the day is my drop dead time to get all the
counterparies approved, because the information will have to be loaded in by
London when they arrive for work Friday morning. |

Lee, could you please review the same and see if you agree with this assessment? It appears to me that the pigging facilties could qualify as either of the following:
Special Services. This would be subject to prior written consent and agreement between the Operator (TW) and the Operating Committee (TW & NWPLRepresentatives). If NWPL agreed, their share of the cost would be in proportion to their ownership interest. If we did obtain their approval, future O&M cost attributable to the pigging facilities could be shared among the owners. (We've agreed to a flat fee for 2000 through 2003 with a 3.5% escalator starting in 2001.)
Addition or Expansion. Demonstrate that the pigging will add incremental transmission capacity. We have to give notice to NWPL and they have 60 days to participate. If they participate, they share in the cost at their ownership interest, but they get a share of the incremental capacity at their ownership interest. If they don't indicate a desire to participate in 60 days, we can proceed with the Expansion (without any approval, but also no cost sharing). Also, any incremental O&M associated with an expansion cannot be passed on to any owners not participating in such expansion.
I think if we went the Special Services route, we would need to justify the need for these facilities to maintain the integrity and efficiency of the facilities at current levels. I think we would spend alot of time arguing this with them and in the end they would probably approve it subject to them not incurring any cost. (They probably don't have $260,000 ($1.5MM * .174) sitting around in a budget somewhere that they'd like to fork over for these facilities.) Rich, what do you think? How difficult would it be to demonstrate that these facilities are necessary for maintaining the current operating levels of the facilities?
Recommendation: To save us the 60 days notice period of an Expansion, I think we should notify them that it's a necessary Special Service and ask for approval (& to pass along their share of the cost), but to be prepared to eat 100% of the costs to obtain their timely approval and proceed with the installation of the facilities. In this event we would need to agree on the inclusion of future O&M attributable to these facilities.
FYI, their ownership interest is still officially 22.3% since they have not executed the Amendment that has been tendered to them 3 times, first by me and twice by Lynn Blair. If they execute the Amendment that incorporates the 4/1/98 expansion of the facilities, their ownership interest will be 17.4%. |
guzman-m/notes_inbox/700. | 19823056.1075840707537.JavaMail.evans@thyme | Thu, 15 Mar 2001 01:14:00 -0800 (PST) | virginia.thompson@enron.com | portland.shift@enron.com | EES and MPC Hello traders!
This e-mail is a request regarding counterparties EES and MPC.
Please pay careful attention to the columns from which you are pulling MW and
price information when you build the worksheet that we send to EES. We have
had some recent discrepancies that could have been avoided if the correct
information had been sent to EES.
Also, our checkouts with Montana Power Company are getting out of control.
We are off with them 9 days, totaling 19 deals for the month of February.
Many of these discrepancies are from deals that were spoken, but not recorded
in Enpower nor in the INC sheets. I understand that we do many deals a day
with MPC and a few may go un-recorded, but it's getting to be too many.
Please remember to at least put these deals in your log and in the INC sheets.
One final request is that you state the hour when you make trades by phone.
Tapes are irrelevant if we play them for the counterparty and there is no
hour stated. It also makes it difficult for us to pull tapes when necessary.
Thanks for your responses to my requests in the past. If you have any
questions regarding any of the above, please come see me.
Thanks,
Virginia |
