Subject: CAISO Congestion Model
Carl has been working with Enron and others and the ISO to develop a model
that works for CA as well as for the Desert Southwest (which the ISO would
then operate). I think this summary explains the kinds of things were trying
to get in congestion management reform. I'll send a few other things to look
at.

Subject: CAISO Congestion Model
Ziad:
Per our conversation this morning, attached is a summary of what I view to be
the key attributes of a "reformed" zonal congestion model. The document does
not fully address all of the issues discussed at last Thursday's congestion
reform meeting in Sacramento, but I believe that (other than for some
details) it is consistent with what both the ISO and many of the market
participants are proposing.
This summary does not necessarily reflect the views of my clients, who
haven't yet had the time to review it... but I don't believe that it would be
too far off.
I am sending this summary to you to put into context the many comments that I
offered at last Thursday's meeting and also to support my view that, if the
ISO were to implement the CONG/ASM integration by DECENTRALIZING the process
rather than CENTRALIZING the process, there would not be much difference
between what I've been advocating in the Southwest and the CAISO's model.
(The primary remaining differences would be: (i) the way the "hour-ahead"
process works - i.e., continuously vs. one discrete time; and (ii) the way
scheduling is done - i.e., the ISO would not act as the SC's representative
in acquiring rights that could be made available through inter-zonal
counterflows since the SCs would do this themselves.) So there is a real
possibility that, with some agreement on the ISO's longer-term plans (whether
integration of transmission rights and ancillary services procurement will
rely on decentralization vs. centralization), we could bring together the
models for the region.

Subject: CalPX Market Compliance Unit Submits its 2nd Annual Report to FERC
Submitted to FERC on 7.31.00. Key findings:
"The markets work."
"...virtually all price increases in the past two years can be explained by
underlying known factors such as weather, natural gas prices, and forecasts."
Almost all of the price increase during year 2 is explained by market
fundamentals...The unexplained variance in price is small and appears to have
contributed nothing to the trend."
"...a Compliance mean reversion model indicates that prices typically return
to mean price levels in less than two days."
"...the price increases...show no indications of deliberate attempts to
manipulate prices...."

badeer-r/all_documents/158. | subject: daily block forwards new charges
content: Talked to Mark Hodge from the PX this morning regarding the charges on our
statement. He said that the daily block forwards transaction fee has been
waived for July and Aug. (.02 transaction charge). However, the tariff was
changed on May 2nd that increased the settlement (aka clearing) charges to
.03 per mwh per day.
I asked him why the daily block forwards are so expensive when we get the .01
charge as a preferred customer on the term block forwards. He said it's
because of the costly bookout process. I told him we do financial onlys, but
not bookouts, and restated that .03 is more expensive than brokers. He said
that because the tariff filing of .03 was the maximum, these fees can be
negotiated away from the .03 max., especially since we don't add to the costs
of bookouts. So, whoever among us is the queen or king of daily block
forwards, or our block forward accounts in general, I suggest we do negotiate
a lower rate on the daily schedules.
Both Brett and I tried to access the tariff on the PX website, but we
couldn't read it. So, if someone has better clearance or web tools than us,
please let us know so we can update ours. | valarie.sabo@enron.com | christian.yoder@enron.com, chris.stokley@enron.com, jeff.richter@enron.com, |

=DJ BIG PICTURE: Wider Econ Risks In California's Power Woes
By John McAuley
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Hot weather and a still-robust economy have
intensified
electricity demand in the face of drum-tight power supplies in California,
the nation's
most populous - and, in economic terms, most important - state.
The resultant rolling "brown outs" and the potential for blackouts in the
future could have
a noticeable empirical and real impact on industrial production in
California and even in
the national statistics. Indeed, the impact is likely to be greatest in the
highest
value-added sectors: computers and computer components, two industries that
have
been a key engine of U.S. growth.
Not only that, electricity generation is an important proxy in the Federal
Reserve's
estimation of industrial production. So, the measurement of statistics
could be directly
affected.
About half of the industrial output contained in the industrial production
index is
compiled on the basis of actual output volumes - tons of steel, boardfeet
of lumber, or
millions of autos assembled, etc. For other forms of output, accounting for
about a
quarter of the index, contributions to total production are estimated based
on hours
worked data, with the implicit assumption that productivity - or the rate
of real output per
labor hour - doesn't change much over short periods of time in these
industries. But the
remainder of the index, about 26% according to a Fed economist, is
estimated using
electricity generation measures.
For this purpose, electricity generation is itself estimated from measures
of electric
power usage by industry. Here, as with productivity, the technical
coefficient, or the
amount of electricity input per unit of output, is assumed to be constant
over relatively
long periods.
As Usual, Things Are Different In California
California power companies, as part of the deregulation of the electric
power industry,
offer their business customers "interruptible rate plans". That means that
for a
discounted rate, customers "voluntarily" allow the power company to
interrupt their
power supply in times of peak demand.
Too bad.
The heat of summer combined with continuing strong economic activity has,
in fact,
resulted in widespread interruptions throughout California.
And there is a precedent for how such interruptions can have both a
statistical and real
impact on production: the San Francisco earthquake of October 1989.
That quake disrupted electricity generation, particularly south of the city
in Silicon
Valley. Largely as a result of that disruption, national industrial
production declined by
0.5% (0.6% in manufacturing) in October 1989.
The computer and semiconductor chip producers in Silicon Valley and
elsewhere in the
state are very heavy users of electricity. It is reasonable to expect that
their total
consumption of electricity, and their output, have skyrocketed since 1989.
This industry has a twofold importance to the rest of the national economy.
First, chips are essential inputs to the production of other industries
from "smart chips"
in cars to central processing units for computers. Thus, a bottleneck in
chip supplies
because of electricity interruptions could have ripple effects beyond
California.
Second, chip production is among the highest value-added activities in the
U.S.
economy - each stage of production adds significantly to the value of total
output. This
means that the specific shock impact on this industry could have a greatly
magnified
effect on overall economic activity.
The usage is not confined to chip production, however. An extensive range
of other
California-based industries - from chemicals to textiles - have intensive
electricity usage
in their production.
Their production will be estimated lower because of the reduction in
electricity. And in
fact, real production will be lowered by a reduced electricity input.
Ironically, these interruptions could complement the Fed's efforts to slow
economic
activity and take some of the pressure off for further rate increases. What
infuriates
Californians might actually be a welcome development for the rest of us.

badeer-r/all_documents/161. | subject: Bilateral Contracts for SCE, PG&E and SDG&E - Quantity limits
content: Quantity Limits- For SCE and PG&E, previously approved BFM limitations are
the following:
SCE
Limits for BFM products including retail energy transactions, and daily and
balance of the month BFM products:
Retail Energy markets are limited at SCE's net short position which is a
maximum of
Q1: 2,200 MW, Q2 2,200 MW, Q3: 5,200 MW, Q4: 3,000 MW
Participation ion daily and balance of the month BFM products are limited to
amounts above 1,000 MW SCE's net short position.
PG&E
Limits for BFM products including retail energy transactions, and daily and
balance of the month BFM products:
Retail Energy markets are limited at PG&E's net short position which is not
disclosed. However it is reasonable to assume that it is at least 3,000 MW
for the summer quarters given that PG&E had previously filed asking for a
limit of 3,000 MW.
Participation in daily and balance of the month BFM products are limited to
amounts above 1,000 MW PG&E's net short position.
SDG&E BFM limits approved in Advice Letter 1234-E
Monthly and Quarterly Forward Market: 1900 MW July-September, 1700 MW all
other months
Daily and Balance of Month quantities will not exceed 1000 MW more than the
limits in the forward markets
Ancillary Services will not exceed 90% of SDG&E's forecast ancillary
services for the month or the quarter.
SDG&E's limits are ultimately limited to the load to customers under 20 kW.

Subject: Bilateral Contracts for SCE, PG&E and SDG&E
Both SCE and PG&E have been authorized to purchase energy, capacity, and
ancillary services through bilateral contracts.
Quantities are limited to previously authorized limits in the forward market
(the PX Block Forward Markets)
The contracts must expire on or before 12/31/05.
For both PG&E and SCE, these contracts will be subject to limited
reasonableness review.
PG&E will not be allowed to enter into such contracts after the transition
period ends (3/31/02). The Commission will continue e to oversee the
procurement practices on a quarterly basis.
This was an emergency motion, so it is reasonable to assume that both PG&E
and SCE can enter into such transactions immediately.
SDG&E is authorized to enter into bids for 6*16 delivery period or a 7*24
delivery period for terms of 8/00 through 12/00 or 8/00 through 3/01.
SDG&E will submit bids to buy energy a levelized price for both terms.
SDG&E will bid only for small commercial and residential customers under 20kW
The quantities are limited to the quantities that they had approved in the
BFM participation spelled out in advice letter 1234-E. I do not have a copy
of that advice letter off hand but will provide you with the information
tomorrow.
We will provide you with more details soon.

badeer-r/all_documents/162. | subject: Yesterday's Events
content: As you are probably aware, the CPUC voted 5-0 to reject instituting retail
rate caps in San Diego and instead adopted SDG&E's proposal to refund over
$100 million. The Commission also approved SCE and PG&E's motion to enter
into bilateral agreements and schedule those transactions through the PX
using the bilateral-option market. These transactions will be confidential
and will be disclosed only to the Commission's energy division, for purposes
of reasonableness. The Commission did not act upon San Diego's advice letter
(#1242) to facilitate customer awareness of competitive alternatives. That
advice letter will not be acted upon until the next Commission meeting in
September.
The Commission has also opened an investigation into the role of the utility
as a default provider and will explore how the utility should pass along its
costs to the customers. It will also address whether SDG&E should be
authorized to participate in bilateral contracts in addition to PX
purchases. It also opens the door to consider alternative exchange. This is
a fast track investigation, so I will set up a call to discuss early next
week.
Sandi McCubbin and I were in Sacramento yesterday meeting with several of the
key legislative offices. There was also an interested party meeting (AB 1890
Implementation Group). From those meetings, it was apparent that Steve Peace
is interested in legislation to institute rate caps in San Diego, re-vamp the
governance structure of the ISO and PX boards, having market participants
(generators, marketers, utilities) share in some of the pain that San Diego's
consumers feel, extend the rate freeze, etc. Although, most of the other
legislative offices saw this proposal as a total morass.
The legislative offices that we met with, while interested in providing some
political cover to DeDe Alpert (Senator from San Diego in a close political
race), were not interested in pursuing sweeping changes to the current
structure, although this could change. However, it should be noted that DeDe
Alpert said herself that she would introduce rate cap legislation in San
Diego when the legislature reconvenes on August 7. Most of the discussion
with the other offices was on what can be done by next summer and focused on
bringing on peaking plants and expanding demand responsive programs.
Sandi and Dave Parquet also met with John Stevens, of the Governor's Office.
He stated that the Governor did not want any major changes to the current
structure to come across his desk, but that the Governor needed our help in
preventing such changes from getting there, otherwise he may be politically
compelled to sign the legislation. Sandi will send out more information
later, she's having computer problems.
There will be a hearing next week of the Senate and Assembly Energy
Committees on San Diego issues on August 10.
We, in GA, will keep you updated on developments. | mona.petrochko@enron.com | edward.hamb@enron.com, james.wood@enron.com, greg.cordell@enron.com, |

THE FRIDAY BURRITO
"...more fun than a fortune cookie, and at least as accurate."
Everyone is getting into the act. When I started this gig, I was the
only guy in town writing to folks like you about the power industry in
California. I wrote about what?s new, what?s happening, and all the
important stuff. This week, Governor Gray Davis decided to write his
own Burrito. His epistle got more press than mine, but why is he
muscling in on my turf? Not to be outdone, PUC President Loretta Lynch
released a report which looks into every facet of California?s power
business. No stone left unturned. I?m telling you, there isn?t enough
room in this business for all of us. They need to clear out.
With people like Herr (Hair?) Peace, Governor I?m-Not Mr.-Rogers Davis
and Let?s Do Lynch, who needs a Friday Burrito? They re-define our
reality each week with mind-numbing aplomb. For example, starting in
early June, the PX was ordered to compete for business against other
Qualified Trading Vehicles. Then, two weeks later, the Energy F_hrer
legislated that idea to an early death which kept the status quo for at
least one year. This week the PUC approved 5-year bilateral deals for
PG&E and SCE, thereby opening the PX to competition, and emasculating
the PX?s Block Forward Market. Zip, bam, boom.
I can?t wait to see what next week will bring. I hear Senator Bowen is
holding Committee hearings on re regulating the industry, and the
Governor?s new Energy Security Council will meet to decide six things:
What?s for lunch?
Who will sit at the head of the table?
Does anyone have good seats for next week?s Democratic convention?
Is there anyone we haven?t indicted yet in the power industry?
Who will crank up the air conditioning in this room? It?s getting too
warm.
Then, they will collect data from innocent businesses under subpoena,
ignore the facts, and publish a report. It makes one want to take a
deep breath, and inhale the scented fumes of democracy.
You know, I can?t think about where to begin, so let?s start somewhere.
>>> Things on the Island of California
@@@ Is there anyone left at SDG&E with a brain?
@@@ The PUC issues its scathing report
@@@ The ISO invokes $250 price caps. Duh!
>>> Things at the throne of FERC
@@@ Amen for the Morgan Stanley Order

>>> Things on the Island of California
@@@ Is there anyone left at SDG&E with a brain?
Well, the answer very clearly is no. I have been astounded by repeated
attempts of SDG&E?s most senior people to ape humans, but instead they
mimic apes.
Consider the following. First, they waltz their default customers into
the summer with little of no protection from price spikes in the
wholesale market. Forgivable in that it is human to err. The prices
skyrocket in June, and they start looking for who to blame. _Must be
them damn independent generators,O say their managers. Gary Cotton
informs the ISO Governing Board that hedging SDG&E?s position in the
Block Forward Market wouldn?t have made any difference. There?s one
nobel laureate who missed his prime.
Next, under pressure, they ask for help from suppliers and anyone else
who will assist the utility and their customers. Nine offers show up at
their table, and they can?t choose any of them. Again, Mr Cotton tells
his fellow ISO Governing Board members that these things take time, and
we don?t to rush since there are many legislative barriers, and, well,
the surfing was good this week so why spoil it?
Now they are in a panic because the Energy F_hrer is visiting old ladies
living in trailer parks, advising them not to pay their SDG&E
electricity bill, and to continue to operate their air conditioners.
SDG&E puts a full page ad in the local newspaper telling everyone that
SDG&E is doing everything it can to lower their electric bills,
including asking the ISO for a $250 price cap, but the public can help
by calling the ISO [address and phone number provided in the ad] and
urging them to lower the cap. I always thought the location of the ISO
was a State secret for security reasons. No secrets in San Diego.
But we are not done. No sir, we are not. Those buffalo heads who run
that company decide they will win a gold star on their collective
foreheads, and implement one of the four resolutions passed by the
Electric Oversight Board. The one they pick is to petition FERC on an
expedited basis to cap at $250, the price at which sellers may bid
energy or ancillary services into the ISO and the PX. The primary
reason is that Western power markets are not workably competitive. In
other words, they want FERC to set a max price on what generators can
sell in addition to the price limit at which the ISO can buy!
What I find most astounding about this double talk is that SDG&E
continues to collect tons of money from the sales of regulatory must run
energy into the PX. These are sales from their stranded assets. Their
grief hasn?t abated their greed.
So, to recap, SDG&E missed the boat on price hedging, failed to win
consumer confidence in public meetings, asked for help from suppliers
and did nothing in response, then filed at FERC to cap the sale price
because the wholesale market into which they sell (over-priced?) energy
is not workably competitive. Too much time in the direct sun light.

@@@ The PUC issues its scathing report
The PUC report released yesterday is a gem with which I have not spent
enough time. I only read the Executive Summary, and that only because
our counsel, Dan Douglass forwarded me a copy. Let me pick out some of
the gems in President Lets Do Lynch?s burrito. I would recommend
reading the whole text if you have time, and if you seek perverse
entertainment.
_California is experiencing major problems with electricity supply and
pricing caused by policies and procedures adopted over the past ten
years.
_ Since June, wholesale prices for electrical power in California have
increased on average 270% over the same period in 1999, resulting in
over $1 billion in excess payments for electricity.
_Hot weather, aging power plant and transmission infrastructure, and
dysfunctional bidding behavior in the wholesale power markets combined
to drive prices up ...
_Because of serious market defects and tight supply of electricity,
purchasers of California power will likely pay billions more in
electricity costs this year. Moreover, these price increases do not
necessarily fund new investments in electricity supply or delivery
reliability - they may flow solely to power producer profit margins.
_Despite the Electricity Oversight Board's legislative mandate to
oversee those institutions, we have been unable to obtain [bid] data.
Nevertheless, ... , we believe enough evidence of questionable behavior
exists that the Attorney General should conduct an investigation into
these statewide market practices, coordinating with other State
agencies, including the PUC and the EOB. Such an investigation would
provide the factual foundation that California policy makers and
regulators need to recover any illegally obtained profits.
_A momentous consequence of California's attempt to create a market in
electricity is that the federal government now regulates California's
electric system. Washington D.C. now controls pricing decisions directly
at the wholesale level and indirectly at the retail level and, to the
extent that supply incentives are correlated to prices, Washington, D.C.
now affects California's ability to attract new investment in power
plants.
_Past administrations' willingness to cede the State's authority to the
federal government combined with the legislative creation of two
non-public supervisory organizations that have no duty to protect the
public or consider the retail customer. The "Independent System
Operator" (ISO) and the "Power Exchange" (PX), the nonprofit private
corporations that operate the State's transmission system and control
wholesale pricing policies, are governed by boards whose members can
have serious conflicts of interest. Some of these board members or their
companies financially benefit from higher prices in electricity markets.
Neither of these private organizations is accountable to the State or
its consumers ....
_Despite the federalization and the fragmentation of the State's
electric services, the State of California should protect its businesses
and consumers from cartel pricing; collusive behavior; inadequate power
plant maintenance and lack of market planning for adequate electricity
supplies.
_California consumers and businesses deserve to know in advance - as San
Diegans did not this summer - how and when the price of an essential
service like electricity will double. California is now largely
constrained by federal mandates from providing comprehensive retail
price relief as long as wholesale prices remain so high. If California
tried to re-impose a price freeze in San Diego now, federal regulators
would likely prevent that action. ... Short-term price relief, however,
cannot resolve market gaming or fundamental wholesale pricing problems
controlled by federal regulators.
_We have been precluded from obtaining the data necessary to know if
the ISO and PX failed to detect manipulation and gaming on several
fronts. We do not know how market players acted in price offering and
bidding and scheduling. The FERC has just announced an inquiry into
national pricing and energy market issues. California should not wait
for national findings before it investigates California market
practices. We recommend that the California Attorney General immediately
subpoena relevant records and data to determine the pricing and offering
behavior of market participants; the actions of the ISO and its board
members; and the actions of generators in supplying California's energy
needs.
_Ten Actions to Consider or Act Upon to Prevent Current Electricity
Problems From Spreading in 2001: ...
2. Create a California Energy Council, modeled on the National
Security Council, to unify State action to resolve energy
problems and to perform integrated energy planning;
3. Ask FERC for extended wholesale price cap authority to
moderate California wholesale market pricing;
4. Ask FERC to recognize the defects in the California and
western regional markets and find that no competitive market
exists in California power markets;
...
8. Eliminate potential conflicts of interest in ISO/PX
stakeholder boards;
9. Improve California's ability to obtain ISO and generator
data and enhance the State's enforcement capability for power
plant maintenance; price manipulation and generation gaming,
consistent with protection of proprietary business
information;
10. Provide the EOB with effective enforcement ability and
additional oversight authority for the ISO and PX.
_Ten Issues to Consider or Act Upon Within the Next Six Months: ...
4. Streamline state power plant siting procedures; consistent
with environmental requirements, and prioritize applications
to advance clean, BACT+ power plant proposals.
5. Institute "use-it -or- lose-it" permitting power plant
licensing and emissions credits rules to ensure power plants
get built;
...
8. Reform PX pricing protocols and structures to lower
wholesale and retail prices and reduce excess profitsO
I told you I don?t need to write a Burrito anymore. The Democrats in
Sacramento are doing that for me. Welcome comrade.
>>> Things on the Island of California
@@@ The ISO invokes $250 price caps. Duh!
It is really hard to describe the drama of an ISO Governing Board
meeting, especially when our favorite topic arises. It seems the only
time the Board becomes animated is when one of three issues are on the
agenda: price caps, FTRs, and priorities for software enhancements.
Otherwise, its pretty much hum-drum.
%Round and %round we went, once again. A few more forced votes tipped
the scale in favor of the cap. There were 15 yes votes, which included
a forced yes vote from our friend Jerry Toenyes by order of Secretary of
Energy Mr. Richardson. [Jerry, did you realize that the last letters of
your name could be re-arranged to spell _NO ET YESO? Kind of a french
thing.] I?m sorry about that vote, Jerry. You still go in my book as
one of the brave and bold for standing up to that sort of intimidation
for so long. Your picture in the SF Chron said it all.
The brave souls who stood tall and voted NO included David Parquet
(Enron), Jan Smutny-Jones (IEP), Barbara Barkovich (CLECA), Caolyn
Kehrein (CMA), Dan Kirshner (EDF), and Stacy Roscoe (Procter & Gamble).
Now, I must admit that Dynegy?s Greg Blue did help by voting a Texas No,
spelled _A-B-S-T-A-I-NO. I have instructed Dynegy trader Dave Francis
in Houston to work with Greg to correct that problem. We?re going to
work things out.
The Energy F_hrer addressed the Board, again. I didn?t mind that I only
had a few brief, very brief moments to address the Board, and Herr
(Hair?) Peace got over 20 minutes. That didn?t bother me at all. He
did more damage to himself in 20 than I could do in 2. He blasted away
at everyone who opposed him. He pined about Camden quitting the Board.
He said he knew how prices and markets work, that it isn?t the way those
academic egg-head, FERC-loving economists tell you who pray to the gods
of competition. He lambasted WAPA for withholding generation to protect
fish and wildlife (what was that all about?). He predicted that on
Thursday?s PUC meeting he and all the other powerful Democrats,
Republicans and angry citizens of San Diego would demand that the PUC
impose a rate cap on retail electric rates in San Diego that are just
and reasonable (it didn?t happen). And on and on and on. This man is
very delusional. He believes that Steve, and only Steve Peace can save
the world. He believes that political will trumps judicial,
quasi-judicial, or independent Board actions. This man makes relevant
all the abstract musings of the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche
(1844-1900) ... The will to power, the ?bermensch, the transvaluation of
values, etc.
But we are getting under (uber?) his skin, with the help of the press.
Wednesday afternoon I called Commissioner Dick Bilas to see if he
thought whether the next day?s PUC meeting was going to be a roll over.
Dick said he got a call from Peace, and that Peace said he would not
come to the meeting. Apparently, Peace had received a lot of press, and
all of it bad.
That?s the thin line of freedom which keeps tyranny at least one step
away from our front door.
>>> Things at the throne of FERC
@@@ Amen for the Morgan Stanley Order
And now, the good news. You deserve this. FERC gave the California
market a little wiggle room last Friday. FERC issued a last minute
reply to the complaint by Morgan Stanley Capital Group relating to the
ISO?s intent to lower the price cap. FERC denied the complaint, but
they didn?t waste time with an Order to simply deny a complaint. FERC
danced on the head of the ISO and pulled the bite out of the price cap.
Here are some excerpts:
_We accepted this [Amendment 21], not because it was a cap on sellers?
prices but because it would promote order and transparency in the market
by clearly telling sellers of the maximum price the ISO was willing to
pay and allowing sellers to make informed economic choices on whether to
sell in the ISO market or to sell elsewhere...
_ ... The ISO has no more or less ability to procure capacity and energy
than any other buyer of these services ... If the ISO is unable to
elicit sufficient supplies at or below its announced purchase price
ceiling (because generators are free to sell elsewhere if they choose),
it will have to raise its purchase price to the level necessary to meet
its needs. ... Therefore, an increase in out-of-market (OOM) calls for
generation may be necessary to maintain system reliability. Because the
current payment for OOM is not subject to a maximum purchase price, the
resulting overall payments may be higher.
_To the extent the ... ISO Board resolution contemplates implementing a
directive that generators must bid their capacity into the ISO markets
under any circumstances (e.g., when system load exceeds 38,000 MW), such
a requirement is not permitted by our ... Order and the ISO tariff. ...
Future implementation of the ISO Board resolution with regard to a
requirement to sell would require significant revisions to the ISO
market rules. Such market changes could not become effective absent a
corresponding amendment to the ISO tariff which would have to be filed
under section 205 of the FPA.O
Well. What do you think about that?
Just wait. Here is what the sleeping bear, Commissioner Hebert said in
his concurring remarks:
_Getting to the bottom of the problem, in my view, requires us to begin
a proceeding to rescind our approval of the ISO as the operator of the
California grid. The record supports such a move. ... A memorandum to
the ISO from a stakeholder who resigned from the governing board
eloquently brings to our attention repeated attempts to undermine the
independence of the ISO. The memorandum also thoughtfully outlines
consequences to the markets of a return to %command and control.?
_Because these allegations come from a non-market participant,
especially should we take heed. We must also take notice of the public
pressure on the Board to compromise its independence.O
Amen, brother, amen.
>>> Odds and Ends (_!_)
As you can imagine, this week, like an endless string of weeks before
this has been interminable. I get about three phone calls a day from
press reporters, very little of which ever sees print. My shtick is
just too complex for casual readers. But I do notice that the reporters
are asking better questions. The public is becoming more savvy. The
information flow is moving in our favor, and will disarm the forces of
evil, in about 10 years.
I have other problems on my mind. I am working on a new computer
system. Really, it?s just an upgrade of an older computer that is a bit
faster than the laptop I tried to upgrade, very unsuccessfully. As a
result of the all the new hardware and software I purchased, my office
looks like a war zone with an odd mix of PUC service copies, computer
documentation, and diskettes laying all around. Quite a mess.
Prepare for the future. Our next general meeting is scheduled for
Thursday and Friday, October 5 and 6 at Moro Bay. Barb Ennis will
prepare a blurb for us in next week?s Burrito about room reservations,
timing, golf, etc. Our guest speakers will include MSC Chairman
Professor Frank Wolak who will talk on the subject of his choice, Ms.
Irene Moosen of Grueneich Resource Advocates who will make a
presentation on the distributed generation case before the PUC, and
William Freddo of PG&E National Energy Group who will give us some
education on operating a power plant inside the New England ISO.
Now for your daily bread, provided this week by Dan Douglass. Last week
we had a joke about Catholics. This week it?s agnostics.
=====================
An atheist was taking a walk thru the woods, admiring all that the
accident of evolution had created. "What majestic trees! What
powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes
behind him. As he turned to look, he saw a 7 foot grizzly bear
charging towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He
looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him.
He tried to run even faster, so scared that tears were coming to his
eyes. His heart was pumping frantically as he tried to run even faster,
but he tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself
up and saw the bear right on top of him raising its paw to kill him.
At that instant he cried out "Oh my God!" And time stopped. The bear
froze. The forest was silent. The river even stopped flowing. A
bright light shone upon the man, and a voice out of the sky said, "You
deny my existence all these years, teach others I don't exist and even
credit my creation to a cosmic accident, and now do you expect me to
help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"
The atheist, ever so proud, looked into the light and said, "It would be
rather hypocritical to ask to be counted as a believer after all these
years, but could you make the bear a believer?"
"Very well" said the voice. And the light went out, the river flowed,
the sounds of the forest continued, and the bear brought both paws
together, bowed his head, and said, "Lord, I thank you for this food
which I am about to receive."
==================
Amen. And have a great weekend. Oh, and thanks to all of you who sent
me happy birthday wishes. It was very much appreciated.

content: Both SCE and PG&E have been authorized to purchase energy, capacity, and
ancillary services through bilateral contracts.
Quantities are limited to previously authorized limits in the forward market
(the PX Block Forward Markets)
The contracts must expire on or before 12/31/05.
For both PG&E and SCE, these contracts will be subject to limited
reasonableness review.
PG&E will not be allowed to enter into such contracts after the transition
period ends (3/31/02). The Commission will continue e to oversee the
procurement practices on a quarterly basis.
This was an emergency motion, so it is reasonable to assume that both PG&E
and SCE can enter into such transactions immediately.
SDG&E is authorized to enter into bids for 6*16 delivery period or a 7*24
delivery period for terms of 8/00 through 12/00 or 8/00 through 3/01.
SDG&E will submit bids to buy energy a levelized price for both terms.
SDG&E will bid only for small commercial and residential customers under 20kW
The quantities are limited to the quantities that they had approved in the
BFM participation spelled out in advice letter 1234-E. I do not have a copy

content: Market Participants:
On August 1, 2000, the ISO Board of Governors approved a
proposal to conduct a competitive solicitation to procure guaranteed
generation service during natural gas curtailments in the Los Angeles Basin.
Since the service must in place by December 1, 2000, and the ISO expects
this service to be provided by existing generation, the ISO needs to have
responses by October 6, 2000. ISO staff is preparing the materials for the
solicitation and expects to release those materials in the next few weeks.
We expect final approval of a response by the Board of Governors during the
week of October 23, 2000.
This note will allow potential respondents to begin
preparing your response in advance of the release of the solicitation.
The Board memo and presentation regarding this solicitation,
which include the proposed principles of the solicitation, can be found at

Jeff,
Tim told me to put together a list of inormation we would want from the ISO.
As a general rule, we want all information released. Here are some of the
highlights:
1. ETC schedules on each transmission line (both DA and HA). We want to see
the ETC schedules at the same time they are submitted to the ISO on the
following paths:
a. path 15
b. path 26
c. nw1
d. nw3
e. az2
f. az3
g. lc1
2. Actual flows on each path. (real time flows)
3. How many mw's get cut on each path DA? i.e. how many mw's are adjustment
bid out of the stack
4. Intrazonal Cong
a. What paths have intra-zonal cong
b. How many mw's flow, how many get cut on a DA/HA basis
5. BEEP stack
6. All load and generation bids DA by SC
7. Real time production from each plant | tim.belden@enron.com | jeff.dasovich@enron.com |

Subject: FERC Order on Morgan Stanley Complaint Against ISO
We have good news on the ISO price caps front. The FERC has made it
clear that ISO does not have the ability to mandate that generators sell to
ISO at its price caps and that the proper response to inadequate supply is to
lift the price caps.
On Friday, the FERC issued its Order on Complaint in connection with the July
10 complaint filed by Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. ("MS"). As you may
recall, MS requested FERC to issue a stay of the ISO's maximum purchase price
authority and to direct the ISO to reverse any price cap reductions. MS
sought Fast Track processing pursuant to Rule 206(h), which was granted by
FERC on the grounds that the complaint "warrants expeditious action."
As a quick background summary for you, last November, FERC issued an order
approving Tariff Amendment 21 which extended ISO's price cap authority
through 11/15/00. That order stated that the ISO "maximum purchase price was
not a cap on what the seller may charge the ISO, but a cap on what the ISO
was willing to pay." The Commission said that sellers dissatisfied with the
price cap could "choose to sell those services into the California Power
Exchange or bilateral markets."
FERC notes in Friday's Order that the 6/28 the ISO's Board resolution lowered
the caps to $500 and ISO further directed that, "To the extent permitted by
law, regulation and pre-existing contract, Management shall direct generators
to bid in all their capacity when system load exceeds 38,000 MW."
The MS complaint alleged that the cap reduction was unlawful and would,
"threaten the stability and integroty of the marketplace." MS also requested
an emergency technical conference to examine ISO's justification for the
price cap reduction.
FERC denied the MS stay request, as well as its request that the $750 maximum
purchase price be reinstated. The Commission reiterates that it is not
approving a cap on sellers' prices, because they can sell at whatever price
they want. Rather ISO has simply stated the maximum price it is willing to
pay. "Because sellers are not required to sell to the ISO, the ISO cannot
dictate their price."
Importantly, however, FERC also states that, "ISO has no more or less ability
to procure capacity and energy than any other buyer of these services....if
the ISO is unable to elicit sufficient supplies at or below its announced
purchase price ceiling (because generators are free to sell elsewhere if they
choose), it will have to raise its purchase price to the level necessary to
meet its needs." [Emphasis added] FERC then notes that this may lead to an
increase in Out of Market ("OOM") calls and that OOM calls are not subject to
a maximum purchase price.
Also, with regard to the ISO's resolution stating that generators must bid
their capacity into the ISO markets when system load exceeds 38,000 MW, FERC
states clearly that, "such a requirement is not permitted by our November 12
Order and the ISO tariff." [Emphasis added]
FERC goes on to say that any requirement to sell to ISO in conjunction with a
maximum purchase price would require significant revisions to ISO's market
rules, which could not be made effective without a corresponding amendment to
ISO's tariff. This would require 60 days' advance notice, "and could not be
implemented prior to Commission approval. As stated above, our November 12
Order was clearly based on the premise that the proper response to inadequate
supply (due to a low maximum purchase price) is to raise the maximum purchase
price."
ISO is then "put on notice that any amendment to mandate sales must be
accompanied by a demonstration that this extreme measure is the proper
response to low supplies in the ISO markets."
Concurrences were filed by Commissioners Massey and Hebert. Massey suggests
that the state has to facilitate solutions to market issues, such as risk
management tools, removing constraints on hedging opportunities, introducing
real time pricing through real time metering and expediting approval of new
generation and transmission projects in California. Hebert says that the
previous November Order tried to "straddle the fence" and that, "Today, the
Commission at least starts to lean slightly in the right direction of
recognizing that we have a role." He then reiterates his preference for
removing all price caps. He also suggests that, "Getting to the bottom of
the problem, in my view, requires us to begin a proceeding to rescind our
approval of the ISO as operator of the California grid. The record supports
such a move." He refers approvingly to the Collins resignation letter,
stating that it, "thoughtfully outlines consequences to the market of a
return to 'command and control.' " Hebert states that, "The independence of
the ISO's governing structure stands threatened. We should 'stand up,' to
quote the resignation letter." Hebert advocates opening a section 206
proceeding now, as part of the recently announced inquiry into bulk power
markets, "including the California markets."
This decision makes it clear that ISO cannot lower the caps at tomorrow's
meeting and expect that sellers will be required to sell to it at that
price. This is an important development and very good news in our ongoing
efforts to seek economic sanity at the ISO.
Please call if you have any questions.

badeer-r/all_documents/173. | subject: CAISO Energy - Brokers (2)
content: Dear All,
I have heard from several of you today that we continue to receive Broker
Confirms which reference "WSPP Schedule C" instead of "CAISO Energy" for
deals done at California Delivery Points. I have spoken with Bob Badeer and
he promised me that he and Jeff are going to call them as soon as they can.
In the meantime, if for any SP15, NP15, or Z26 deals we receive a Broker
Confirmation with "WSPP Schedule C" instead of "CAISO Energy", please mark
out the former by hand and replace it with the latter. Then fax the amended
Confirmation back to the Broker and say something in the fax Cover Sheet to
the effect of :
"We have amended the attached Confirmation(s) to show that the relevant
energy purchased/sold is "CAISO Energy". Please revise your Confirmation(s)
to reflect this modification and send the amended Confirmation(s) to us and
our Counterparty. Should you have any questions with regard to the "CAISO
Energy" product, please contact Bob Badeer on (503) 464-3926 or Jeff Richter
on (503) 464-3720."
Let's give Bob and Jeff some time to call the brokers and I would propose to
reassess the situation next Monday (I am out of the office on business on
Friday). Let's see where we are then.
Thanks everyone,
Shari

Bob & Jeff,
At my request, the Confirm Desk has put together a list of Brokers who
continue to reference " West Firm" rather than "CAISO" in their Broker
Confirmations for deals done at the California Delivery Points. Please see
Kim's email below.
Could you please speak with each of them and reiterate that they must
specifically reference "CAISO" energy in their Confirmations if that is the
product we told them that we would buy or sell?
Bob- I will call you later on this afternoon about Pacificorp. We got 2 more
Confirms today with "CAISO" stricken through.
Thanks in advance guys,

DEVIATIONS JULY 31, 2000
MARKET NOTICE---EMERGENCY OPERATING ORDER RELATING TO UNINSTRUCTED
DEVIATIONS JULY 31, 2000
This notice is to advise all Scheduling Coordinators and owners of
Generation in the ISO Control Area that the ISO is issuing an operating
order for July 31, 2000, that all resources must follow final Hour Ahead
Schedules, as adjusted by RMR Dispatch Notices, or by Dispatch instructions
verbal or electronic, on Ancillary Service or Supplemental Energy bids. NO
UNINSTRUCTED DEVIATIONS WILL BE ALLOWED. Section 2.3.1.2.1 of the ISO
Tariff requires Market Participants in the ISO Control Area to "comply fully
and promptly with the ISO's operating orders." Any Generating Unit with real
time output that reflects an excessive deviation from the real time output
consistent with its Final Hour Ahead Schedule as adjusted by Dispatch
instructions, and assuming a 20 minute ramp across the top of the hour for
hourly Schedule changes, will be deemed to have failed to comply with this
operating order. For the purpose of this determination, an excessive
deviation shall be the smaller of 10% of a Generating Unit's maximum
capability, or 10 MW. The only exception to this finding is a Generating
Unit that provides the ISO with timely notification of a unit outage or
derate. Failure to comply with this operating order threatens the reliable
operation of the ISO Control Area. In particular, uninstructed incremental
deviations by Generating Units that are "chasing" the BEEP Interval Prices
published by the ISO are directly responsible for the frequency excursions
the ISO experienced June 13, 2000. The ISO will take the following actions
with respect to those Generating Units that fail to comply with this
Operating Order: 1) ISO Management will deliver a report to the ISO
Governing Board that provides a copy of this notice, and a comparison of the
instructed and actual output profile for each Generating Unit that fails to
comply. 2) The ISO will assign any WSCC RMS penalties associated with
frequency deviations to the Generating Units that fail to comply. | robert.badeer@enron.com | tim.belden@enron.com |

content: Market Participants:
The ISO has posted the following materials regarding CAISO's
Congestion Management Reform (CMR) Recommendation.
Congestion Management Reform Recommendation (This is the
same as the version posted on July 11th with the exception that we have
corrected typographical errors.)
Appendix A - Terminology and Acronyms A glossary of various
terms and acronyms used throughout the CMR Recommendation package.
Appendix B - Locational Price Dispersion Study Summarizes
the areas of empirical study in which the ISO is currently engaged and
describes the objective, design, and preliminary results of the ISO's
analysis of the dispersion of locational prices throughout the ISO control
area.
Appendix D - Assessment of CMR Design Recommendation with
Respect to Stakeholder Evaluation Criteria Compares the CMR Recommendation
against the specific evaluation criteria agreed to by the ISO and Market
Participants at the first stakeholder meetings.
Appendix E - Congestion Management Redesign Options Not
Adopted in the CMR Recommendation
Appendix G - System Impacts Summarizes the anticipated
impact of CMR Recommendation on the ISO's primary systems, such as SI/SA,
BBS, FTR, EMS, etc. The purpose of this appendix is not to provide detailed
cost-benefit evaluation of the proposal, which we believe would be entirely
subjective and of little value.
Appendix H - Intra-Zonal Congestion Management Mitigation
Costs During 1999 and Their Application to Local Reliability Areas.
It is our intent to publicly distribute Appendix C, as
identified below, by mid August. In the final draft of
the recommendation package, to be publicly distributed and
provided to the Board in late August, we will
provide the following additional appendices as well as
updated versions of those identified above.
Appendix C - Market Separation Study The objectives, design,
and preliminary results of the other ongoing study being undertaken in
connection with the Congestion Management Reform process.

For the month of August, 2000, we will take 50% of our open Block Forward

content: Market Participants:
This notice is to inform you that the ISO is canceling the
CMR stakeholder meetings that were scheduled for August 4 and August 8. We
are doing so in order to be responsive to Stakeholders' needs for greater
detail as articulated in the two most recent Stakeholder meetings on July 19
and 25.
As you know, after the July 13-14 introduction to the CME
Recommendation, we scheduled additional meetings (July 19th and 25th, August
4th and 8th) to discuss each element of the Recommendation in greater
detail. We have received many questions and requests for change on all parts
of the Recommendation during the past few weeks. As a result, we determined
that we needed more time for internal discussion in order to give you the
level of detail that would allow a more meaningful discussion of the
specific recommendations and potential modifications. This will allow us to
address both your questions and your suggested changes.
We have rescheduled these detailed discussions for three
consecutive days, August 15-17. In these meetings, we will address:
* FTRs;
* Day Ahead and Hour Ahead Congestion Management;
* Recallable Transmission;
* Real Time Operations;
* New Generator Interconnection Policy;
* Long Term Grid Planning; and
* Questions and issues on Local Reliability Service that arose from
the July 25 Stakeholder meeting.
We will also meet on August 25 to discuss the ISO's final
recommendation to the ISO Governing Board.
We apologize for any inconvenience this change has caused
you, but believe that taking time to develop more details on these topics
will allow more productive discussions.

<http://www.caiso.com/docs/2000/07/26/2000072610262610454.pdf> As stated
in a message forwarded yesterday to market participants and scheduling
coordinators, the CPUC has agreed to extend the deadline for a reply to
Friday July 28, although the ISO has been informed today that the extension
is only until NOON on Friday. In addition, the ISO discussed the reference
to an affidavit in the subpoena with the CPUC and was informed that this
results from a typo which will be corrected in a corrected document sent by
federal express to the ISO yesterday (the words attached affidavit will be
replaced with the word attachments). The ISO has accepted federal express
service of the subpoena.
The ISO has raised confidentiality concerns with the CPUC and the CPUC
agreed to circulate a draft of a confidentiality agreement to the ISO today.
The ISO will forward the draft to market participants and scheduling
coordinators as soon as we receive it. Once again the ISO reiterates to
market participants that to the extent they have outstanding issues as to
the subpoena, these should be raised directly with the appropriate entity.
The ISO intends to comply with the subpoena on Friday unless it receives a
legally sufficient communication to the contrary from the CPUC or a court.
Finally, a few market participants have requested that the ISO make
available several letters forwarded to the EOB discussing confidential
treatment. These letters are attached.
Questions should be directed to Jeanne M. Sol, at 916-608-7144.

content: Market Participants,
Attention: Settlements and Scheduling Personnel
Your participation is requested in the second iteration of 10-Minute
Settlement Market Simulation.
As communicated on 7/20/00, the ISO has postponed the August 1, 2000,
implementation of 10-minute settlements in order to accommodate additional
end-to-end testing and market simulation. The ISO's new target for
implementation is the last week of August, 2000, contingent upon the
successful completion of the second 10-Minute Settlement Market Simulation
and ISO's 10 day written notice to FERC.
The second 10-Minute Settlement Market Simulation is scheduled to begin on
Tuesday, August 1, 2000. The ISO will hold a kickoff meeting conference
call on Thursday, July 27, from 1:30 - 3:00 p.m., to summarize the status of
the first Market Simulation, discuss the second Market Simulation logistics,
and review the Market Simulation Plan.
All Market Participants are strongly urged to participate in this simulation
to identify any outstanding issues that may affect implementation for
Scheduling Coordinators and the ISO.
Please respond to Cathy Young at cyoung@caiso.com by 3:00 p.m. on Friday if
you intend to participate. The remainder of this message contains the
kickoff meeting Agenda, Market Simulation Schedule, and necessary system set
up documentation for the simulation.

badeer-r/all_documents/198. | subject: Block Forward Financial Trades
content: Legal has been assessing the risks of doing block forward trades as financial
and for now, subject to future changes that may be required as discussions
with the CAPX legal experts continue, we can state the basic rules as
follows:
It is okay to do up to 50% of our Block Forward business as financial.
It is very important to monitor this 50% level very closely and we should not
exceed it. We should not rely on the PX to tell us what the level is. We
should confirm it ourselves. A skeptical regulator, looking at PX records
should never be able to see that we ever did more than half our block forward
business as financial.
One of the legal rules that we must comply with in this area is that there
must be a bona fide commercial reason for going financial. This
dumbfoundingly simple sounding rule is important. Somehow, when we
communicate our decision to the PX to go from physical to financial, we
should give our reason. I'm not sure whether our decision is expressed by
phone, or electronically, but in either case, the person making the change
with the PX should get in an expression something like this: "we would like
to change these trades to financial because we think the elimination of
physical risk will benefit us commercially." Please be patient with this
self serving requirement and do it.
I have not worked out with any of the other back office groups how this new
practice will be handled. Obviously any changes it will require in
scheduling, settlements and accounting need to be dealt with too. Please call
me with any questions. ----cgy | christian.yoder@enron.com | tim.belden@enron.com, robert.badeer@enron.com, jeff.richter@enron.com, |

badeer-r/all_documents/201. | subject: CAISO Notification: Scheduling of Non-Firm Counter Flows
content: Market Participants,
Several market participants have been engaged in a practice of scheduling
large amounts of non-firm counter flows on congested branch groups in order
to earn hour-ahead congestion revenues and then not providing those counter
flows in real time. This occurred during a Stage 1 emergency on 7-20-00.
This practice creates a significant reliability problem for the ISO and is
to the detriment of market efficiency.
This notice is intended to inform Market Participants that the ISO
Department of Market Analysis considers this a potentially serious "gaming"
practice as defined in the ISO Tariff MMIP 2.1.3. The ISO DMA will be
investigating any Market Participant found to be engaging in this activity
and will take appropriate corrective actions.

Subject: Steve Peace
Bob:
I cannot make this stuff up. Steve Peace, the Senator famous for his
fight to protect the California Rate Payers, came to fame as the writer
of the Critically aclaimed film, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. I
didn't believe it either until someone sent me this web page, with his
link attached to it.
http://www.lexingtonnet.com/tomatoes/creators/index.htm
title.gif (1905 bytes)
This page is dedicated to the three demented geniuses who brought us the
Killer Tomatoes films!
?
John DeBello - Director/Writer
John DeBello was the director of all four Killer Tomatoes films. He also
played small roles in each film, even playing himself in a few! He still runs
many parts of Four Square Productions, I'm told.
?
Steve Peace - Writer/Actor
Steve Peace is probably best known in the KT films as Wilbur, the dim-witted,
parachute-wearing leader of the Killer Tomatoes Task force. He also wrote
parts of the films as well. Now, he's a state Senator, and even has his own
page at http://www.stevepeace.net
?
Costa Dillon - Writer
Last, but definitley not least is Costa Dillon. He's responsible for the
entire concept of Killer Tomatoes! Like everyone else here, he played small
parts throughout the films. Probably his best known was the kid in the
library in the original film, who cleared out the room by merely saying
"Tomato!". This little part was later used as a major character in the
cartoon series. | robert.badeer@enron.com | paulp@calpine.com |

content: Market Participants:
The California ISO values Stakeholders' comments on the
Congestion Management Reform (CMR) proposal released on July 11, 2000. Both
your positive and negative responses are essential to guide us in refining
the CMR recommendation. We have prepared the attached template for you to
use in submitting your comments. Receiving your comments in this format
will enable us to understand and respond to your input efficiently. We will
also post this template at
http://www.caiso.com/clientserv/congestionreform.html
<http://www.caiso.com/clientserv/congestionreform.html> under the heading
"Congestion Management Reform Recommendation - DRAFT."
In the first section, we ask that you respond to the
following two questions (summary answers, bulleted lists, etc. are fine):
1. Which fundamental market design features and principles identified
in the proposal should be kept? Why?
2. Which fundamental market design features and principles identified
in the proposal should be removed? Why?
In the second section, please provide detailed comments on
specific sections of the proposal using the template provided. We have
structured the template to facilitate your detailed comments on Sections 4,
7, 8, 9 and 10 and Appendices A and B, since these are the sections that
contain the main features of the proposal. The template also includes a
space for general comments on sections 1, 2, 3, 5 and 11. Since Section 6
is an overview of the proposal, we have not included a comment section in
the template for that section. We ask that comments include:
* Which main features you think should be retained and why;
* Which main features you think should be removed or modified. Please
be specific on why, and how you would modify that feature to address the
problem you have identified; and
* Which features and details you think are missing and should be
added, why, and how you suggest adding that feature.
All three parts-what, why and how you recommend changing the
proposal-are necessary for us to respond to your comments.
We would like to emphasize our need to receive your comments
on features of the proposal that you like. Reviews can tend to focus on
features with which reviewers are dissatisfied. Without hearing support for
features that stakeholders like, it is possible that some broadly supported
features could be changed or eliminated, based on others' stated
disagreement.
Please submit your initial comments by 5:00 p.m. PDT on
Friday, July 28. There will be other opportunities for feedback, but we
would like to include a summary of Stakeholders' initial comments in our
discussion with the ISO Governing Board on August 1. Please send your
comments, using the attached template, via e-mail to bwoertz@caiso.com
<mailto:bwoertz@caiso.com> and use the phrase "CMR Proposal - Stakeholder
Comments" in the Subject line. We plan to treat your comments as public and
to include a summary of Stakeholders' comments with the materials that will
go to the ISO Governing Board and/or to FERC.
The California ISO greatly appreciates the time, effort and
expertise Stakeholders have contributed to the CMR process. We look forward
to receiving your valuable comments to allow us to further refine and
improve this proposal.

At the May ISO Governing Board meeting the Board directed
Management to bring back to the Board a recommendation on the "parameters
and process" for proceeding with a competitive solicitation (Valley-Rainbow
RFP) to determine if there are cost-effective and reliable alternatives to
SDG&E's proposed Valley-Rainbow transmission project. The specific Board
motion can be found at:

<http://www.caiso.com/thegrid/planning/sdge500kvtrans.html>
These matters are scheduled to be addressed at the August 1
Board meeting. Attached is a memo that outlines ISO Management's preliminary
thoughts and recommendations on how to structure the process for conducting
and the parameters of the Valley-Rainbow RFP. Please provide us your
thoughts and feedback on these matters no later COB Friday, July 21. Please
send your comments to: sgreenleaf@caiso.com <mailto:sgreenleaf@caiso.com>
and btheaker@caiso.com <mailto:btheaker@caiso.com> . While the
recommendations outlined below are clearly a work-in-progress, it is
imperative that we receive your substantive feedback early so that we can
develop a fair and reasonable final recommendation. Thanks for your time and
consideration.

badeer-r/all_documents/219. | subject: CAISO Notice - Congestion Management Reform Proposal Posting
content: Market Participants:
The CAISO has posted its draft Congestion Management Reform
(CMR) recommendation on its web site at
http://www.caiso.com/clientserv/congestionreform.html
<http://www.caiso.com/clientserv/congestionreform.html> . This document
recommends changes to the CAISO's current Congestion Management process and
related features of its business practices and operations. This is a draft
document, albeit one that we believe reflects significant effort and thought
on the part of both the stakeholders who provided the initial input and the
interdisciplinary design team that drafted this document.
This CMR recommendation represents an essential milestone in
the broader Congestion Management Reform Project. The first stage involved
soliciting stakeholder input regarding the problems to be solved,
alternative solutions to address these problems, and criteria for evaluating
reform proposals. The second stage involved the CAISO's crafting an
integrated, internally consistent reform package utilizing the ideas
developed with and/or by Stakeholders in stage one. This document contains
the CAISO's draft recommendation. We emphasize that, although we believe
this recommendation package to be a necessary milestone in the Congestion
Management Reform Project, it is not intended to predispose the final
design. We are actively soliciting Stakeholders' comments and critiques
concerning this recommendation over the coming weeks (stage three of the CMR
project).
Once the next round of stakeholder input has been assessed,
the CAISO will revise this CMR recommendation. The revised recommendation
will be presented to the CAISO Governing Board for discussion and review
only on August 1 (no Board action requested). The CMR recommendation will
continue to be developed through August and the final recommendation will be
submitted to the CAISO Governing Board for approval at the September 6th and
7th meeting. The approved CMR recommendation will be prepared (in
conjunction with Stakeholders) for the final Tariff filing to FERC in
November (stage four). A revised, detailed calendar will be presented at the
CMR Stakeholder meetings on July 13 and 14.
At the July 13 and 14 Stakeholder meetings, the CAISO will
present the entire recommendation, section-by-section and provide the
opportunity for Stakeholders to clarify their understanding of what is being
proposed. Shortly thereafter, we will hold additional Stakeholder meetings
to facilitate detailed discussion of individual elements of the
recommendation. Additional meeting dates will be discussed on July 14 at the
meeting.
We look forward to reviewing this proposal with you and
receiving your comments. The CAISO welcomes any and all comments and
critiques of this recommendation. We appreciate your attention and efforts
in this endeavor to reform the Congestion Management process.

We are at a point with the mail server that is going to require me to shut it
down during the day today and perform hardware upgrades. That is unless
everyone and I mean everyone goes through their mail and cleans out the sent

functioning all together.
I would prefer to upgrade the hardware in the evening but this will take

So please help out by cleaning house on your mail, otherwise we will be

badeer-r/all_documents/226. | subject: ENA Meeting and Event Expenditure Approval Process
content: The approval process initiated in 1998 for all meeting and event expenditures
in excess of $5,000 has enabled ENA to better assess the business value of
events, accurately track our activities and save money. These events include
customer and employee meetings, and trade shows.
ENA has made some modifications to the process, which are described in this
memo.
The $5,000 threshold remains in effect for all customer events. However, the
threshold for approval for employee meetings and events has been lowered to
$2,000, and some additional requirements must be met prior to approval.
Please be sure to follow the procedures described below for all meetings and
events, so we can continue to successfully manage these events.
1) Prior to making any commitments to customers or vendors, all customer
events with anticipated costs in excess of $5,000, and all employee events
with anticipated costs in excess of $2,000 must be reviewed by the ENA Public
Relations (PR) department and approved by the ENA Office of the Chairman
2) The PR department will handle the site search and hotel contract
negotiations for all such events. Once this is completed, the PR department
will work with you to plan and produce your event in its entirety; or they
can provide as much or as little assistance as you require. The PR department
will be responsible for helping you achieve the best value for your program
and ENA.
3) A completed expenditure request form (see attached) and supporting
documentation is required for each event. Employee meetings require a
detailed agenda as part of the event documentation prior to approval. Please
submit the completed expenditure request form and documentation to the PR
department at EB 3642, or work with PR department employees to complete the
form.
4) After PR review, the expenditure will be submitted to the ENA Office of
the Chairman for final approval.
Additionally, the PR department can assist in the procurement of tickets for
various local sporting events and concerts.
If you have any questions regarding this process, would like assistance
planning an event, or need tickets for a Houston event, please contact Dorie
Hitchcock in the PR department at (713) 853-6978.
Thank you for your cooperation. | enron.chairman@enron.com | ena.employees@enron.com |

News Brief:
+TXU Europe puts gas assets up for sale
FT Energy's Gas Daily Europe reports that TXU Europe is putting its North
Sea gas assets up for sale. The utility confirmed today that is in
"preliminary talks" with a number of third parties, but stressed it was
"very early days". The move follows "a number of unsolicited expressions of
interests" in the business, including its operatorship. TXU said it is
reviewing this part of its business and will only decide whether to sell at
its conclusion. It has not set a deadline for the review.
A source inside the company was not surprised at the review: "The business
has changed a lot in the last year." TXU has already put up its UK
generation assets for sale, and this latest move to divest gas assets could
mark a shift in strategy to focus on trading and retailing. Some analysts
believe that assets no longer give "competitive advantage" to energy
companies, as the focus shifts towards the end-user and convergence of gas
and electricity.
TXU's principal production assets comprise the operating licence and 64.2%
of the 83bn ft? Johnston gas field, plus 14.75% of the 33bn ft? Ravenspurn
North field, 11.24% of the 5bn ft? Welland field and 4.83% of the 17bn ft?
Schooner field. It also has a number of upstream exploration licences and
interests in pipelines.

badeer-r/all_documents/24. | subject: CAISO Notice - Ten Minute Settlements Implementation September 1
content: Market Participants
SC Settlements Contacts
After the 10 Minute Settlement Market Simulation conference
call on Friday August 25, Market Participants' concerns of readiness were
brought before the ISO Officers. The Officers discussed these concerns as
well as the two previous delays (June and August) in implementing Ten Minute
Settlements. Weighing all of these issues, the ISO believes that there is a
compelling need to put a pricing structure in place to realize a substantial
saving in real time energy costs.
Therefore, the ISO has decided to continue with the Ten
Minute Settlement implementation date of September 1, 2000.
