Subject: Draft Decision Issued in SDG&E Emergency Motion
ALJ Cooke has issued the attached draft decision with regard to the August =
=20
9, 2000, emergency motion filed by SDG&E to enter into bilateral power =20
contracts.? SDG&E sought similar authority to that granted to Edison and=
=20
PG&E in D.00-08-023.? The draft decision would grant the motion, but would=
=20
impose certain conditions different from those requested by the utility.?=
=20
The differences are summarized below:
?
Background
Under the terms of the Commission=01,s D.00-08-021, SDG&E is currently=20
authorized to participate in the PX forward markets for energy services,=
=20
subject to seasonal trading limits, through the end of the last utility ra=
te=20
freeze.? SDG&E is not proposing an increase to the limits approved in=20
D.00-08-021 and will treat its capacity purchases under those limits,=20
although it reserves the right to request expanded authority in the future=
.?=20
The draft decision also notes that SDG&E proposes that costs associated=20
with, and gains/losses from these bilateral contracts should be attributed=
=20
only to small commercial and residential customers.? It also notes that=20
intervenors focused on four general areas of concern regarding the specifi=
c=20
authority requested by SDG&E: duration of contracts, reasonableness=20
standards, request for exemption from affiliate rules, and ratemaking.
?
Duration of Contracts
SDG&E requested authority to enter into bilateral contracts that expire on=
=20
or before December 31, 2005.? The ALJ notes that the Commission recently=
=20
instituted an investigation into the impact of the functioning of the=20
wholesale electric market on retail rates in SDG&E=01,s service territory =
and=20
that the OII will consider whether SDG&E should be removed from that defau=
lt=20
provider role.? The ALJ states that, "the Commission should not compromise=
=20
future long-term solutions by affording SDG&E greater purchasing authority =
=20
than is needed to address the current emergency situation.? For this reaso=
n,=20
we limit SDG&E=01,s authority to what we described in D.00-08-023 as near-=
term=20
bilateral contracting authority, that is, contracts with delivery occurrin=
g=20
on or before December 31, 2002."
?
Reasonableness Standards
The draft decision suggests that the OII provides a forum to establish a=
=20
common framework for all three utilities for determining the reasonablenes=
s=20
of their bilateral purchases.? However, in the interim, it adopts the same=
=20
reasonableness standard for near-term contracts as it did for SCE.? "If th=
e=20
average price of SDG&E=01,s bilateral transactions, delivered or requiring=
=20
delivery, over the course of an annual period exceeds the average price of =
=20
SDG&E=01,s corresponding portfolio of transactions, delivered or requiring=
=20
deliver over the same period, by more than 5%, then the Commission will=20
initiate a reasonableness review.? Reasonableness reviews, to the extent=
=20
needed, will take place as part of SDG&E=01,s Annual Transition Cost=20
Proceeding."
?
Affiliate Rules Exemption
SDG&E's request to be exempted from the affiliate rules for any purchases=
=20
from affiliates was denied.
?
Ratemaking
TURN urged the Commission to reject SDG&E=01,s request to limit the ratema=
king =20
impacts of the bilateral contracts to its residential and small commercial =
=20
customers, saying that, "the potential risks and benefits should be spread =
=20
among all customers."? The draft decision states that, "we do not believe =
it=20
prudent to limit the cost exposure for these contracts solely to residenti=
al=20
and small commercial customers.? This aspect of SDG&E=01,s motion is denie=
d."
?
Transparency Considerations
The ALJ orders SDG&E to disclose all bilateral transactions to the Energy=
=20
Division on a confidential basis in a monthly report.? The draft decision=
=20
notes that, "WPTF and ARM argue that additional transparency of bilateral=
=20
transactions is required, compared to that proposed by SDG&E.? We adopt=20
consistent disclosure standards for SDG&E bilateral contracts as that=20
adopted in D.00-08-023 for PG&E and SCE.? This issue may be revisited on a=
=20
going forward basis in I.00-08-002."
?
Response Time
The normal response time has been shortened.? Parties to the proceeding ma=
y=20
file comments on the draft decision no later than noon on September 5,=20
2000.? I suggest that comments be filed agreeing with the thrust of the=20
decision, but strongly advocating that SDG&E be required to publicly post=
=20
its transactions, as it agreed to do in Advice Letter 1234-E, with regard =
to=20
SDG&E's participation in the Block Forward Market.? In addition, we should=
=20
consider whether to refight the issue of limiting the ratemaking impacts o=
f=20
the bilateral contracts to SDG&E's residential and small commercial=20
customers.

badeer-r/discussion_threads/253. | 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.

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.

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
mail, inbox and trash folders. If this is not done soon then mail will stop
functioning all together.
I would prefer to upgrade the hardware in the evening but this will take
several hours.
So please help out by cleaning house on your mail, otherwise we will be
forced to do the upgrade in the middle of the day.

Subject: ISO To Participate in Super Peak Market
Folks,
Late Friday afternoon Ziad called me. The ISO Governing Board earlier
the same day turned down the ISO management's request to force SCs to
place 95% of their scheduled load in the DA market. That leaves the ISO
little choice but to venture into the energy markets to procure power to
cover their peak hours on hot days.
Terry gave Ziad the OK to proceed with placing both the APX and
California PX screens for this new product/matching-service. I am
working with the two vendors and the ISO to make this happen quickly.
We anticipate that the market will open on Tuesday, September 5, or
earlier.
Key people who you may need to contact:
ISO - Ziad Alaywan 916-351-2140 (Nancy Traweek and Jim McIntosh are
also in the loop)
PX - Ken Czarnecki 626-537-3123
PX - John Yurkanin 626-537-3124
APX - Denice Cazalet 408-517-2123
APX - Michael Heinrich 408-517-2159
Please feel free to contact me with your questions. Several of you have
not had the opportunity to attend the pre-design meetings we had at the
California PX and APX a few weeks ago, nor were you aware of the joint
WPTF/ISO meeting held last week. But in essence, what this
product/matching-service will allow you to do is post bids to sell, or
buy a 6-hour block of capacity at a firm energy price across the hours
of HE13 to HE18. You can bid at COB, Mead, PV, SP15 or NP15. You can
utilize either the CalPX or APX to post your bids, because the ISO will
be watching both screens. The block sizes are (supposed to be) 25MW.
The seller is responsible for arranging transmission to the delivery
point, and the buyer (e.g., ISO) is responsible for arranging
transmission service from the delivery point. The ISO will make its
purchase decisions for the day-of at or before 8:00 a.m. The ISO will
send out a general notice when it needs offers to sell on the super-peak
market. I expect that bids for either buy or sell will be able to be
posted at any time, 24 hours. The screens should allow parties to post
buy or sell bids at least 60 days forward of the trade day.
You are not limited to a price cap in these markets, but the ISO as a
buyer has the right to not purchase at prices above it's price cap.
I think WPTF members should be very proud that we were able to quickly
work together, and with the ISO to create this market. I have no doubt
the ISO will be offering bids to purchase starting Sept 5, and going
forward 60 days. However, who among you will be willing and able to
post bids to sell?

*DJ Calif. PUC Approves Utilities Buying Pwr Out Of CalPX
Mandatory Buy Requirement Ends For Utilities
LOS ANGELES (Dow Jones)--The California Public Utilities Commission
approved a controversial plan Thursday morning that
will allow the state's three investor-owned utilities to buy power outside
the Caliifornia Power Exchange market structure.
The commission voted 3 to 2 in favor of the measure. Commissioners Henry
Duque, Richard A. Bilas and Josiah Neeper voted
in favor of the draft order.
The decision relieves the three investor-owned utilities, Sempra Energy
unit San Diego Gas & Electric (SRE), Pacific Gas &
Electric (PCG) and Edison International unit Southern California Edison
(EIX), from their mandatory buy requirement that
became effective in March 1998 when the state moved to a deregulated
competitive market. Originally the mandatory buy
requirement was set to end in 2002, when all three utilities recovered
their stranded costs.
"This decision is not as earth shattering as it sounds," Commissioner
Bilas, one of the author's of the draft order, said at
Thursday's meeting. "I am not criticizing the power exchange. But this will
result in lower prices patched through to bundled
customers."
Trading platforms likw Automated Power Exchange and the New York Mercantile
Exchange can now compete directly with the
CalPX, which currently controls 85% of the state's wholesale power market.
The utilities can buy power from other "qualified
exchanges" through an advice letter process.
Utilities Can Trade With Other Exchanges Now
California's big three utilities can buy power outside the CalPX market
structure immediately, through an advice letter process,
which means the utilities have to notify the commission of their intent to
trade power with qualified exchanges such as APX,
Nymex or Bloomberg.
The commission said the exchanges have to offer the same services as the
CalPX - forward, daily and monthly trading, and
anonymity to prevent self dealing between the buy side and sell side - in
order to meet the criteria for a qualified exchange.
Exchanges would also have to be independently owned from the utilities.
Enron Online would not meet the criteria for a
qualified exchange, commissioners said.
The advice letter only needs to be filed once and s merely a formality that
would not need to be approved by a majority of the
commission.
Mark Huffman, PG&E senior attorney for regulatory affairs, told Dow Jones
Newswires that his company "will quickly start
looking at other exchanges and see what's out there. We're going to start
the advice letter process."
SoCal Edison and SDG&E said they will do the same.
Ed Cazalet, chairman and founder of APX, said Thursday's controversial
three-to-two vote in favor of the draft order "creates a
tremendous opportunity for APX."
"It allows us to bring the benefits of Silicon Valley technology to
California," Cazalet said. "This is really about bringing
e-commerce to the market."
E. Jesus Arredondo, however, disagreed, saying "selling into our market
doesn't cost anything and selling into the APX market
costs 20 cents per megawatt-hour."
Commissioner said having other exchanges will not only result in lower
electricity prices, but it will allow the buyer and seller
the chance to see prices before making the purchase.
CalPX's block forward prices are not immediately published, Commissioner
Bilas said.
Reacting to the ruling, CalPX Chief Executive Officer George Sladoje said
"Today's split vote by the CPUC in favor of
accelerating the introduction of other qualified exchanges is not
well-reasoned and it may in the end prove counterproductive."

Settlement Dispute System (SDS):
Not implemented yet.
Automated Dispatch System (ADS):
The ADS Query File Data Dictionary was released this week. ADS client 26 was
released 8/23. Features include Query data which now contain decimals
instead of integer values and system performance improvement by limiting
queries to 7 days worth of data at a time. A question was raised about what
time standard is used for instructions. Greg Ford responded it is PDT/PST.
RMR Scheduling:
No comments
10-Minute Settlement:
The API parser had corrections made. The Ex-Post price fix (looking for 6
values instead of 1) has been implemented and is working. Also the
supplemental energy import parsing order was corrected. The Beep_Gen_Full
template does successfully parse through the existing parser. Ginger Seitles
is working with SCE to correct the localized parser problem. The question
was raised if there may be only one record supporting two charge types. CP
responded that for CTs 401/407 there is, and can be, one record supporting
multiple charge types. A question was raised concerning instructions being
over lapped to the next day. Mark responded that there are no instructions
that are issued to last over a day. Mark also reminded everyone that
effective June 1st that the ISO stated using ramping energy versus block
energy for dispatches. He also reminded all that residual energy would be in
effect on September 1st. The PX asked if there were DC loss calculation
available for the market simulation information. CP stated that there was
and would forward it on to the PX. It is also planned to publish the
implementation schedule the week of 8/28.
InterSC Trades of Adjustment Bids:
The implementation target date for Inter-SC Trade Adjustment Bid has been
delayed until the first week of October 1, 2000. A new schedule has been
published. A training class has been tentatively scheduled for September
19th . Details to follow.
OASIS Redesign:
Darren Lamb explained that the project is progressing satisfactorily. He is
still anticipating a market testing in late October with full implementation
in mid-December. A concerned was raised about the amount of time, if any was
being allotted for overlapping of templates.
Dual Invoicing:
Everyone was reminded that the first preliminary invoices were coming out
8/24.
Other:
A request was made (after the TSWG call) to change the time of the call to
1330 PDT to accommodate those in the Eastern Time zone. Comments are
requested.

badeer-r/discussion_threads/276. | subject: FERC Presentation on California/West Wholesale Market
content: Last Thursday, I made the first attached presentation to the FERC Staff at
the power marketer's meeting on the FERC's investigation of the wholesale
market in the West (and in particular California). Ellen Wolf (of Tabors
Caramanis) and I created this presentation building on previous presentations
by Tim Belden and Dave Parquet. In the presentation and the meeting we made
the following points:
There isn't much FERC can do because the cause of the price spikes is not in
the wholesale market. We discouraged FERC from taking any action that would
hurt the vibrant wholesale market in the California and the rest of the West
as well.
High prices logically resulted from scarcity and if the Commission does
anything it should (1) investigate whether market power was being exercised
by any party and, (2) if necessary to protect the market (while still
incenting needed generation) establish a price cap at a scarcity rent level
equal to the price at which loads were willing to interrupt.
The IOUs have not properly prepared for the risk of high prices caused by
scarcity. They have failed to hedge and have underscheduled their load,
therefore having to fill a large percentage of their load at ISO real time
prices. My analogy was that this was like day trading your retirement fund
as an asset allocation scheme.
The market would function better if more information was provided to the
market.
The Commission should do whatever it can to incent participation by load.
To see the presentation, detach, save, and view in Powerpoint. When you do,
you will find there are many "hidden" slides that were not part of the oral
presentation but were provided to Staff in hard copy for additional
information.
According to the head of the investigation (Scott Miller), the staff got alot
more out of this meeting than Staff's previous meetings with the IOUs and the
generators. Based on the numerous phone calls I've been getting, the Staff
is looking into the data we provided.
I have also attached a revised version of the presentation that Tim sent to
Scott Miller on Friday. Tim's version conveys the same message but takes a
different approach to conveying the message. On Friday, Tim talked to Scott
and answered some additional questions. Tim said that Enron is in favor of
eliminating the mandatory PX buying requirement and would like the IOUs to be
able to buy from Enron Online. He also explained more fully the existence of
scarcity . | mary.hain@enron.com | james.steffes@enron.com, david.delainey@enron.com, john.lavorato@enron.com, |

"...more fun than a fortune cookie, and at least as accurate."
=0F"Are those folks smoking crack?=0F" he asked in an outrage. My friend, =
Ol=0F'
Dave in Houston, has trouble understanding the workings of our power
business here in California. In fact, so do I. Yesterday=0F's Joint
Senate/Assembly Committee on Energy and Natural Resources did nothing to
improve either Dave=0F's or my understanding of the national embarrassment
California is perpetrating with electricity deregulation.
=0F"The next thing you know, they will be taking property, and forcing
utilities to build power plants and transmission,=0F" he mused between sips
of Dixie longneck beer and chomps of jalapeno peppers. =0F"Come to think
of it, Dave, they did say something about that. Yeah,=0F" I recalled,
=0F"Senator Peace was expounding on his favorite idea which is forcing the
ISO or the utilities to build peakers, and not let the market build
them. I can=0F't remember if that was before or after he suggested to EOB
Chairman Kahn that the ISO and the PX should be folded into State
agencies under the direction of the Electric Oversight Board.=0F"
I know what you are thinking right now. The next thing you know
California will have regulated retail rates. That recipe should be out
of the PUC=0F's oven sometime next week.
=0F"Well, the power marketers are jigging the system, bidding up to the
ISO=0F's bid cap. There is no way you can tell me that a generator
planned to make $750/MWH in its pro forma,=0F" Dave added. =0F"So you agree
with Herr (Hair) Peace! You don=0F't believe in markets,=0F" I retorted. =
=0F"Oh,
I believe in them, but I remember when I was short on a 300 MW trade,
and without any notice or advanced warning, the price in the Midwest
market went against me,=0F" Dave recalled. =0F"I called everyone who I tra=
ded
with, and they had nothing. I finally called XXXXX, and I asked what
will it cost for 50 MW?=0F"
=0F"Why didn=0F't you ask for 300?=0F" I wondered. =0F"I didn=0F't want to=
show him my
position. You get hosed when you show the buyer your position. Ask for
50, first,=0F" Dave chided.
=0F"What happened?=0F" =0F"Oh, they offered to sell for $150/MWH. I said I=
=0F'd
take it, and then said I needed another fifty. He asked $300. I took
that, and he priced the next 50 MW at $600,=0F" lamented Dave. =0F"He just
wanted to see how far he could push me. That=0F's what I mean when I say
the traders are jigging it.=0F"
=0F"But Dave, you old communist, your forgetting the trading function is
what mitigates the risk. The traders are the in between people who guess
at the price. Sometimes they guess right, and sometimes they guess
wrong. But the damage, or the reward, is on their book, not passed on
to the ultimate consumer. It has nothing to do with the marginal cost of
a generating plant.=0F"
And there you have it. Put in a price cap, and the traders have a
target for which to shoot. I can=0F't prove the following, yet, but I=0F'l=
l
wager with any of you that as the price cap level dips down, the average
trading price climbs even as the so-called =0F"dysfunctional=0F" price spik=
es
are eliminated. Consumers get hosed, and the fundamental economic
principle is upheld, which is, one can never be made better off with the
imposition of an additional constraint.
I feel better already. Here is what is on our short agenda this week.

It has been awhile since we put the mail feedbag on and had a munch.

each week. The burrito is informative, humorous and usually contains a
sprinkle of irony, tragedy (ISO Drama). Though you are usually neutral
regarding the PX, you are not unduly negative which I appreciate. I
think we do a pretty good job over here and so often people in the
industry forget the amount effort and challenge it took the PX to
successfully open this market.=0F"
Thanks, Mark. I just want you to know that my ability to write this
stuff every week is not constrained by the facts or evidence. I have
learned from watching Herr (Hair?) Peace, that as long as you can talk
(write, too) fast, and have conviction in your statements, regardless of
how groundless they may be, you will have a willing and eager audience.
A few weeks ago, I received from the PX=0F's Jennifer Sherwood a note,
which she wants you to know are her opinions, not necessarily the PX=0F's.
It=0F's okay, Jennifer. I paid George,yesterday, the $20 I owed him for
that sham Rose Bowl bet, (remember?, Stanford lost) and your opinions
are cool with us. =0F"Just curious - has anyone been comparing high
unleaded prices to high CA electricity prices? What I mean is, we are
up in arms about how we should protect the unfortunate San Diego
consumer who can't afford to keep the AC on. But what about the inflated
unleaded gas prices the whole country has seen over the last few
months? No effort is made by the government to shield the consumer from
how much it costs to fill their gas tank. No mention is made of those
who can't afford to drive to the grocery store because they can't afford
the extra 15 or 20 cents a gallon. The costs are passed along to the
consumer without pause. Granted there are differences between the
unleaded market and the electricity market in terms of demand-side
responsiveness, but then again is it that much different to say, =0F`I
can't drive today because gas is too expensive=0F'
vs. =0F`I can't turn up the AC today because it's too expensive.=0F'=0F"
Finally, from one of our [secret] Washington readers, and I am not
telling who, I received the following: =0F"I ... broke down and listened to
the [ISO Governing Board] discussion and vote. Ugh! I too noted that
the "speak fast" was applied to everyone but Herr Peace. My goodness,
what a mess we have. I loved Jerry's picture in USA Today -- it spoke
volumes. My sources at FERC tell me, though, that we should keep an eye
out for {FERC Chairman] Hoecker to do something really ... [Censored]
... for political reasons. Given no Commission meetings til September,
the only way to act is by unanimous consent, so I would hope he can't do
all that much.=0F"

@@@ The ISO Replies to the EOB Report
Several of you people commented to me that the ISO=0F's reply to the
PUC/EOB report was very good. I decided to excerpt the best sections of
it for the Burrito. The full document can be found on the ISO=0F's
website.
=0F"... the [PUC/EOB] Report asserts that the suspected activities of
certain generators on June 13 created frequency instability leading to
the Bay Area blackouts the following day. In fact, the events of June 13
and June 14 were completely independent of one another. The voltage
instability on June 14 was caused by system conditions on that day alone
-- exceptionally high loads, insufficient generation in the specific
local area, and transmission constraints that prevented the import of
generation from outside the area.
=0F"The Report states that the ISO =0F"never tried=0F" to call upon consume=
rs to
reduce demand in order to avoid the Bay Area blackouts. In fact, the ISO
had in place on June 14 a number of demand response programs designed to
reduce load including the Summer 2000 Demand Response Program, under
which customers have agreed, through a prior solicitation, to curtail
energy use in exchange for a fee
=0F"The Report makes a number of assertions concerning the prices paid by
=0F`purchasers=0F' of energy as a result of the recent price spikes (e.g. $=
1.2
billion in the month of June alone). These assertions leave one with the
mistaken impression that these prices reflect amounts actually paid by
the UDCs and/or passed through to customers. However, in determining the
total cost of energy, one must determine the impact of any forward
contracts entered into by the UDCs in advance of the wholesale energy
markets. These contracts, which are designed to =0F"lock-in=0F" a specific
price in advance of real-time or near real-time market activities, are
specifically designed to mitigate the impact of price volatility, and
are standard in all commodities markets. We have reason to believe that
some of the UDCs were substantially hedged during the period of the
recent price spikes.
=0F"In a similar vein, the reports asserts that California =0F"might well=
=0F"
have saved $110 million dollars had a $250 price cap been in place in
May and June. This assertion assumes that all energy purchases would
have been made at or below the $250 bid cap. In fact, during times of
peak demand, when all of the state=0F's generation has been exhausted, the
ISO competes with neighboring regions for available generation. In order
to secure the necessary power, the ISO must purchase, on a bilateral
basis, this energy from resources located outside of the ISO=0F's control
area.
=0F"The Report asserts that California power markets =0F"are not now
competitive=0F" and implies, erroneously in our view, that this is the
normal state of affairs. It is not. The Market Surveillance Committee
has noted that =0F"market power in the California energy market appears to
arise
primarily during periods of peak demand,=0F" and warned that demand growth
would increase the incidence of market power during the summer of 2000.
=0F"The Report asserts that the ISO is answerable only to a self-interested
board and not to the citizens of California. This simply is not the
case. The ISO is subject to the provisions of the Federal Power Act and
to the rules and regulations of FERC, which dictate, in part, that
wholesale energy rates must be just and reasonable and in the public
interest. The ISO further operates under a detailed tariff reviewed and
approved by FERC. Every change to our market design and virtually every
aspect of the ISO=0F's business is subject to review and scrutiny by FERC.
The FERC process provides substantial opportunities for input by the
state agencies and such agencies have, in fact, been active participants
in the FERC proceedings.
=0F"The Report asserts that California supply conditions have been affected
by restructuring and that somehow the restructuring choices have made
California more vulnerable to supply shortages. This assertion is
unfounded. Significant load growth in California and neighboring states
coupled with a lack of significant infrastructure investment in both
generation and transmission have caused this vulnerability.
Restructuring has increased proposed power plant applications many fold.
Only by immediate and sustained attention to streamlining approval and
siting processes for both of these critical infrastructure elements will
this significant shortage be addressed.=0F"

@@@ Reflections on a Day of Senate Hearings
If you want to imagine a scary sight, imagine, then, twelve California
legislators gathering together in one hearing room to rectify the wrongs
of electric restructuring. Also imagine, as if you are in the Twilight
Zone, witnesses that are slow on their feet, and reckless in their
facts. Then you get a glimpse of what yesterday=0F's Joint Senate/Assembly
hearing was like.
It started over two hours late. The Senate was busy congratulating one
of their own who is term-limited out next session, and they wanted to
heap on the glory. That said, the show began with CEC Commissioner Bill
Keese. Mr. Keese has one story, and regardless how well he tells it,
and he does, it is always the same story. It is the heat storm story.
One can imagine in the heat storm story a lead character who is a
single-mom, call her Lady-Bird Bowen, who travels across an angry land
with her precocious pre-teen child, Stevie Wonderboy. They are
searching for electric power plants in the dessert, which, by the grace
of God have been shipped to other countries which have more liberal
returns on investment.
Being the first speaker, Mr. Keese took at least half the heat (storm)
of the day. The rage of the Energy Fuhrer was palpable. Last week, San
Diegans shed 350 MW of load last week to save the entire system, and did
not receive one penny of compensation (I=0F'm not making that up ... He
said it). He is sick of hearing about demand management as being a
solution for the problem over the last five years, and he is about done
listening. People in San Diego are depressed by the sudden price
hikes. Yikes!
Keese did mention that the California reserve margin has sunk to 7%, but
in neighboring Arizona, the reserve margin is -1% or -2%!! Mr. Keese
correctly pointed out that electric power is not solely a California
problem, it is a regional problem. One member of the Committee asked
what the legislature could do to speed up the power plant siting and
construction process?
Keese referred to Governor Gray Davis=0F' Executive Order issued last week
to which the CEC plans to respond soon, date uncertain, that lays out a
6 month permitting time line. The six months are enough if the
applicant has the land secured, zoning okayed, transmission access, and
air offsets. Hmmmmmm. That alone might take six months before you get
to the CEC.
The next panel included Mr. Kahn of the EOB, and Ms. Lynch. I went too
hard on her last week, calling her Let=0F's Do Lynch. That was a 0.8 TPC.
Sorry. I promise to be nicer starting now. The Energy Fuhrer
instructed Ms. Lynch to use her authority to order SDG&E to divert the
pass through of funds from the customers to the PX until the dysfunction
of the market is cured. Put it in an escrow account. Ms Lynch promised
to review this option at her August 21 PUC Meeting where she will enact
SDG&E rate caps (told you).
The star of the day, I thought, was FERC General Counsel Doug Smith.
Mr. Smith comes to Sacramento. Isn=0F't that a switch? Mr. Smith came in
place of Mr. Hoecker, thank the Lord. Mr. Smith put into FERC-eese what
these 12 legislators could not get through their heads any other way.
The 12 angry legislators were looking for a way for FERC to declare the
wholesale market as non-competitive, and then ask the generators to give
back the money they over collected. When can we do that? Mr. Smith
answered as only a FERC attorney can answer. There is a process. It
takes time. You must have evidence. FERC uses a three-part criteria
for assessing whether or not market based rates are allowable. It=0F's
based on market concentration and dominance, not the existence of high
prices. You would have to sue FERC in federal court, and the best you
could hope for is for FERC to reconsider its decision upon remand from
the US Court of Appeals.
Slowly, the wind came out of the sails of the gang of 12. They were
stumped. Herr (Hair?) Peace screamed, couldn=0F't you, Mr. Smith of FERC,
today use your authority to declare the markets non-competitive, that
generators who had market based rates have exercised market power, and
retro-actively implement a $250 rate cap across the Western region?
Like a wheezing accordion, Mr. Smith played back and forth the familiar
strains of music, like a solo street musician on the corner. Back and
forth: the process, the process, the process. There have been times in
the past I hated the process at FERC. Today, I have a renewed respect
for what process affords me and you ... Freedom from the tyranny of a
mob.
For the remainder of the hearing, they focused on remedies that could be
undertaken by the PUC.

@@@ PUC Issues OII on Functioning of Wholesale Market
Well, the official title is, =0F"Order Instituting Investigation into the

Electric Company=0F". I like my title better.
This Order, or OII was issued at the last business meeting of the

Subject: The Brilliance of Women
There were 11 people hanging onto a rope that came down from a
helicopter. Ten were men and one was a woman. They all decided that one
person should get off because if they didn't the rope would break and
everyone would die.
No one could decide who should go so finally the Woman gave a really
touching speech saying how she would give up her life to save the
others, because women were used to giving up things for their husbands
and children and giving in to men.
All of the men started clapping.

content: THE FRIDAY BURRITO
"...more fun than a fortune cookie, and at least as accurate."
There is a hint of Autumn in the air. I don=0F't know if it=0F's wishful
thinking, or if the seasons are really beginning to turn from our pale
summer into a Bay Area glorious Fall. It=0F's premature, I know. A few
fallen leaves, the start of schools, slightly longer afternoon shadows
... I=0F'm jumping the gun. I can=0F't wait for this summer to be over,
especially this summer. The pounding never stops, and as I hear the din
of the cash register ringing with each climb in Southwest temperature, I
can barely keep track of all the hiccups which drive prices up: fires in
Montana restricting transmission paths, blown up interstate gas pipeline
in New Mexico, diminishing N-Ox credits for in-state power plants,
depleted inventory of hours of voluntary load interruptions for
commercial and industrial customers, credit limits restricting imports
of Canadian power into the Northwest and California, and BPA buying
about 1,000 MW to cover its short hydro position.
I also get the willies every time another politician lambastes the
California restructured power industry. I just want to end to the
summer, now, and start a two week Fall vacation ... anywhere, even in
Cleveland.
There are seven, count them, seven investigations into some aspect of
the wholesale power market out here. Two days ago there were only six,
but FERC just added another yesterday in response to the Prez=0F's
request. That means FERC has two, the PUC has two, the State Attorneys
General has two (one on the ISO Governing Board, and one on the in-state
generators), and one by the Electric Oversight Board. If you don=0F't have
an ongoing study of the California Market, then you=0F're not hip.
All of these investigations, save FERC=0F's Section 206 Investigation, are
going to amount to near nothing. A lot of wasted time and paper. The
PUC and EOB studies have their conclusion sections all finished. Now
they need some evidence to support their assertions.
And how are we holding up under all of this? How are you doing? I talk
to many of you throughout the week, and I know how frustrated you are.
I share your frustration. You want to tell the public, the press, and
anyone in between the truth. You want to lay out the facts. You want
to show anyone who will listen that each interference into the market is
making things worse, not better. The price caps, for example, are
damnable and screwing up the prices, much to the detriment of those
people for who price caps were supposed to be a protection against price
shocks. Now they are receiving higher average prices.
The public isn=0F't going to listen to anything longer than a sound bite.
And let=0F's face it, when it comes to stellar public relations, our
industry is not known for turning in A+ performances, except for SCE.
Those guys seem to get their story in front of the public at every
turn. I heard SCE is putting on their customers=0F' bill, =0F"Here is what
you would have paid if the rate freeze ended ....=0F". But many of us in
the new power industry, borne from the loins of either the natural-gas
industry or nuclear-power business, learned the hard way that the best
response to a public inquiry is a two-block head start in front of an
angry mob. Keep your head down, shut your mouth, and this too shall
pass.
I don=0F't buy that approach, at least not anymore. That is, I don=0F't
believe we have anything to hide, or of which to be ashamed. What
electric restructuring is about is correct, beneficial to the public,
and in everyone=0F's best interests. Look at it this way, when they pat
the last shovelful of dirt on your final resting place, for what do you
most want to be remembered? That you caved in to the political will of
others, or at a moment when you had the chance, you did what was right
instead of what was expedient? I think the choice is easy, albeit laced
with sheer terror. Those bland homilies I so diligently teach my kids
(e.g., tell the truth, do what is right, think of the big picture and
not just yourself) are a lot easier to speak than to live by. So join
me and stand up for what you believe. They can=0F't take away your pride,
not yet.
Here is this week=0F's line up.

@@@ Excerpts from FERC=0F's Order on SDG&E Complaint
President Clinton commented from the Rose Garden that good folks in San
Diego, retired, fixed-income, likely to vote for a Democrat, are making
choices between buying medicine or air conditioning their homes. I call
this the Del Monica Beach lecture. The Prez instructed the FERC to
investigate the situation in California, and FERC wasted no time.
In response to SDG&E=0F's August 2 complaint, whereby the utility asked
FERC to impose a $250 price cap on generators in the region, the FERC
responded in a way that I was hoping to see several months ago. The
FERC slammed SDG&E on their complaint for lack of merit, and the FERC
also initiated an FPA Section 206 Investigation into the wholesale power
market in California.
Here are some of the juicy excerpts from FERC=0F's Order:
=0F"In this order, ... , we are denying SDG&E's requested immediate
imposition of a price cap on all sellers in California. However, we are
instituting consolidated hearing proceedings pursuant to section 206
of the Federal Power Act to investigate the justness and reasonableness
of the rates and charges of public utilities that sell energy and
ancillary services to or through the California ISO and PX, and to also
investigate whether the tariffs and institutional structures and bylaws
of the California ISO and PX are adversely affecting the efficient
operation of competitive wholesale electric power markets in California
and need to be modified
=0F"SDG&E concludes that the markets cannot be workably competitive if
sellers are able to exact prices that are considerably above levels that
would prevail in open competition, i.e., sellers are able to bid and
receive prices significantly above their marginal costs. SDG&E also
argues that the hour-to-hour volatility in imbalance energy prices and
the erratic clearing price for ancillary services is an indication that
the market is breaking down when it is moderately stressed.
=0F"While we find it appropriate to institute a section 206 hearing on
these issues, we cannot implement an immediate price cap of $250/MWh as
requested by SDG&E because there is no record before us to support such
an action. ... While the issues raised by this complaint are
important, the Commission has no basis to conclude that SDG&E's proposal
to place an immediate, arbitrary $250/MWh cap on the price that every
public utility seller of energy and ancillary services may bid into the
PX and ISO markets would satisfy this standard. SDG&E has provided no
evidence to demonstrate that all potential sellers are able to exercise
market power, has not documented a single instance of a seller
exercising market power during times of scarcity, and did not attempt to
show that the conditions underlying the Commission's approval of
market-based rates for public utility sellers of energy and ancillary
services have changed. Nor did it address specific market or
institutional factors that may be causing rates to be unjust or
unreasonable.
=0F"SDG&E asserts that the ISO's congestion management and market
structures are flawed and in need of overhaul. ... Furthermore, SDG&E
expresses its concern that, for a number of reasons, the congestion
management and market reform efforts being pursued by ISO stakeholders
will not produce meaningful results. SDG&E indicates that it is
prepared to work with the ISO to develop alternative reform proposals;
however, SDG&E's complains that the ISO stakeholder process has, in
SDG&E's judgment, been ineffective with respect to these issues.
=0F"Various interveners contend that SDG&E's arguments are premature. ...
We agree with Interveners. ... The reform efforts have been the subject
of extensive public review and comment and are nearing completion.
Accordingly, we reject SDG&E's arguments at this time.
=0F"It is unclear whether SDG&E's failure to purchase hedging instruments
for its retail operations is due to state regulatory policies or its
business decisions. A retail rate design that exposes consumers to the
volatility of commodity prices would be extraordinary, particularly when
consumers do not have the ability to receive or respond to price
signals.
=0F"We are concerned that ... increasing level of market activity in the
real-time market raises significant reliability and economical concerns.
... Historically, the ISO procures on a daily basis only the resources
needed for the operating day. Not only does this procurement practice
put pressure on the grid operator to secure needed resources at the last
minute, but the practice is uneconomical. Such spot-market purchases
are not subject to the ISO's buyer's cap. Furthermore, because the ISO
is the supplier of last resort for these services, when OOM calls are
made, suppliers realize that the ISO is in a must-buy situation.
=0F"In an effort to address this problem, we direct the ISO to immediately
institute a more forward approach to procuring the resources necessary
to reliably operate the grid. Specifically, the ISO should anticipate
the need for such additional resources based on forecasted peak
periods. We direct the ISO to factor these reforms into an analysis of
the need for and level of purchase price caps and to include this
analysis as support for any filing it makes to extend its purchase price
cap authority.=0F"
In closing, WPTF is an intervenor in the case, and we hope to be very
active in the case through testimony, cross examination, the filing of
briefs, and reply briefs.

@@@ The Development of a Super-Peak Block Energy Product
Several weeks ago, I discussed with the ISO their interest in developing
a new market for a block energy product that would be purchased in the
morning of a trade day, and be dispatched during the super-peak hours.
I challenged them to let the market participants develop this market
instead of the ISO doing the same.
At the August 1 ISO Governing Board meeting, I stated as the WPTF
position that we oppose price caps, but if the ISO Governing Board
insisted on going down the $250/MWH price cap route, we would do what
ever we could to help the situation and avoid the occurrences of Stage 3
alerts. Whereas I didn=0F't think about the conversation on super-peak
block markets as being relevant to the remarks before the Governing
Board, it became painfully clear soon after that we could, and should
work with the ISO to develop a new market through either APX or the
California PX, or both, to bring some order to the otherwise chaotic Out
of Market system.
This week, WPTF and the ISO had a joint meeting whereby both sides
discussed the merits of a super-peak block firm-energy product, and how
it could be instituted. The meeting at the ISO, at which WPTF had many
of its members who either have generation in the State, or import power
into California, was for market participants and the ISO to discuss how
to bring more order and price transparency to the ISO's out of market
calls. The ISO reported that this summer, to date, the amount of money
spent on Out of Market purchases was about $100 million. Last year the
total cost of Out of Market purchases was $1.7 million.
APX and CalPX, in response to our earlier discussions with them,
presented their proposals at the meeting. The discussions which ensued
during the course of the presentations focused on how the ISO might
utilize a product/service to reduce the manpower requirements currently
needed to satisfy its out of market telephone calls, typically on short
notice, and the interest on the part of market participants to make bids
into either the APX or CalPX's proposed system for a super-peak
firm-energy product.
There were no commitments made by any party, simply a willingness to
work together to alleviate the problems associated with finding
sufficient electric power during high demand periods with greater
transparency, more participants, and greater market efficiency.
We=0F'll keep you posted on our development of this market.
>>> The Mailbag: A Letter from My Friend, and A Response
Sometimes I share bites of our Burrito with fellow travellers, much as I
did last week when I sent my friend Mike Florio a copy of the story
called the Trial of Gow Jing. Mike sent me a note that I would like to
share. He said I could. I want you to read it and appreciate that there
are other people who share his view. I also copied the response I sent
to Michael, a.k.a. Old Deuteronomy.
Michael wrote:
=0F"I'm not going to attempt to complete your little melodrama [the
Gow-Jing story], but I did want to offer an observation. In simpler
times, people knew the other people that they did business with, and
they typically lived in the same community. If a merchant tried to
charge exorbitant prices for his products, even if he was the only one
in town who had the product in stock, he would face the wrath of his
fellow citizens. This undoubtedly served as a constraint on such
behavior, even in the absence of a CPUC or FERC. Telling Mrs. Jones that
the loaf of bread she needs to feed her kids will cost her $50 would not
be a pleasant way to do business, and such things ordinarily did not
happen.
=0F"In the modern global economy, of course, this personal aspect of doing
business has been almost completely lost. And so has the restraint. I
have no doubt that the folks who sell electricity are good people (jeez,
I know many of them), but they work in an environment where the end
results of their business decisions are invisible. If Mrs. Jones can't
afford to run her refrigerator any more, that fact is at best dimly
perceived, and if so it is viewed as cause for some sort of social
program, not a reason why a merchant would alter his behavior.
=0F"This is clearly not a case of socialism versus capitalism, because both
scenarios occur within the overall context of a capitalist system. But
certainly something fundamental has changed, and not for the better in
my view. Now everyone feels compelled to squeeze the last dollar out of
every transaction-- their jobs may even depend upon it-- and no one is
responsible for the end result. Is this the kind of world we want to
live in???
=0F"PUT THAT IN YOUR BURRITO AND SEE WHAT YOUR READERS SAY! YOU CAN EVEN
BLAME ME, SO THAT YOU ARE NOT ACCUSED OF TURNING PINK IN YOUR MIDDLE
AGE. Deut=0F"
Okay. It=0F's in the Burrito. And here is what I think.
You allude to the change in a world that was once =0F"more personal=0F" and=
is
now institutional. You make the point that things are not better off if
for no other reason then the lack of personal accountability. But I
don=0F't think that in all cases the more personal world is lost. It is
ever present, as I will argue below. Second, your group embraces the
impersonal =0F"efficiencies=0F" when it is convenient. Finally and most
importantly, where will your social-minded and like minded counterparts
be when competitive forces leap supply ahead of demand, which might
happen in a handful of years?
However, your essential point is not lost on me. I do believe that
there are ways for generators and consumers to be good neighbors in
California. I have a proposal below to which I would like to hear your
response.
First, though, the personal business touch is present in our economy. I
exercise the restraint to which your story pines in many of my
consulting engagements which require financial give and take between
client and vendor. It is simply smart business to do so. I have been
the beneficiary of the same with my local bank when errors occurred in
my checking accounts, or when loan payments were made absent mindedly
late, etc., and the late fee forgiven. However, much of our economy,
and certainly the trade of a commodity such as electricity requires the
use of markets. Nameless and faceless, they do squeeze out all the
efficiencies which lead to lower prices, more innovation, and a sharing
of price risk with parties who are neither the ultimate consumer nor the
initial producer. The producer and consumer get out of the risk
arbitrage and leave it to others who are more skilled and monied.
I find it ironic that TURN, then, is so insistent on arguing, as it has
done on many many occasions for the relaxation of market separation in
the ISO=0F's congestion management reform. Elimination of market
separation is nothing more than the impersonal forcing of parties to
execute trades on either side of a congested transmission path in the
name of market efficiency. Lower prices for consumers. Does it really
matter if it is done through person to person transactions, or through
markets?
Third, your story can be used to make an alternative point. What
happens to the merchant in town when Wal-Mart moves into the next town
down the road? All the faithful customers that your Merchant of
Vengeance was protecting suddenly migrate to a competitor with greater
inventory, more choice, and lower prices. What do you say, then? The
corollary for us is direct. The new generation owners moved literally
billions of dollars into California, at risk, and took a chance. It
paid off. They succeeded as we all know this year, and probably will
next year, and so on. But the 3,000 MW of new power plants under
construction in California, and the 3,000 MW under construction in
Arizona, and the over 16,000 MW of combined power projects in
California, Arizona, and Southern Nevada that are in line for permits
will change the financial landscape in a hurry once energized. The
prices will soften, returns will be less cherry, and I really want to
know, where will today=0F's accusers be when there is a shake out?
Consumers will reap that benefit, oh you best believe it. But the
alliances to which your opening story alludes simply misses that point.
You gotta make hay while the sun shines.
Now to my proposal. Michael, I would be willing to work with you to
develop some kind of loan program for residential and small commercial
customers that would, in effect, reduce the economic hardship of higher
electricity prices. I could imagine, although I haven=0F't tested the idea
with any parties, that a significant program could be crafted, possibly
secured by the credit of participating generating companies, and
executed by a commercial lending institution such as Bank of America.
Borrowers would pay a fair interest rate and the administrative fees.
It=0F's simply smart business, not charity. It=0F's one way to amortize th=
e
earnings which came about due to a circumstance of short supply relative
to the sudden growth of demand for power.
Maybe that is a step in the right direction, I don=0F't know. One could
argue that it is no different than SDG&E implementing a level payment
plan for it=0F's consumers. True, it is no different, because in either
case the customer is paying for the loan interest and administrative
fees, and I consistently believe that a market for credit is more
efficient (am I getting impersonal?) than one instituted by a
monopoly. Second, the security for these loans is provided by parties
other than the utility=0F's customers. Further, we wouldn=0F't have to wor=
ry
about PUC oversight and prudence reviews. We could make this work
quickly.
I will be very interested to hear your thoughts, and the comments of my
members. Thanks for sending us your letter.

@@@ What Makes Houston, Houston?
Dan Douglass of Arter and Hadden sent us the following item. Houston,
the unofficial home of the electric power industry, is a town you either
love or hate. Here are some guiding principles offered by the Chamber
of Commerce of the 4th largest city to enable their many visitors to
cope.
=0F=07 First you must learn to pronounce the city name. It is YEWS-TUN a=
nd
it does not matter how people pronounce it in other places.
=0F=07 Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Houston has its ow=
n
version of traffic rules. Never forget that downtown Houston is composed
entirely of one way streets. The only way to get out of center of town
is to
turn around and start over when you reach Dallas, Texas.
=0F=07 All directions start with, "Go down Westheimer..."
=0F=07 Westheimer has no beginning and no end.
=0F=07 It's impossible to go around a block and wind up on the street yo=
u
started on. The Chamber of Commerce calls this a "scenic drive".
=0F=07 The 8am rush hour is from 6:30 to 9:30am. The 5:00 pm rush hour is
from 3:30 to 6:30 pm. Friday's rush hour starts on Thursday morning.
=0F=07 If you actually stop at a yellow light, you cannot be from Houston=
.
=0F=07 Kuykendahl Road can only be pronounced by a native, so do not
attempt the phonetic pronunciation. People will simply tilt their heads
to the right and stare at you.
=0F=07 Construction on the Gulf Freeway is a way of life, and a permanent
form of entertainment.
=0F=07 Many bizarre sights can be explained simply by uttering the phrase=
,
" Oh, we're in Montrose!!"
=0F=07 Construction crews aren't doing their job properly unless they
close down all lanes except one during rush hour.
=0F=07 If someone actually has their turn signal on, it was probably lef=
t
on at the factory where the car was made.
=0F=07 White haired men driving red or silver sports cars will not obey a=
ny
known traffic rule and cannot be expected to stop for red lights or stop
signs.
=0F=07 All ladies with blue hair who drive Cadillacs or Lincoln
Continentals have the right of way.
=0F=07 The above mentioned blue haired ladies also have a legal right to
turn right from a left lane or to turn left from a right lane. YOU HAVE
BEEN WARNED!
=0F=07 Buying a Houston street map is a waste of money since there is
absolutely no way that you can route yourself in such a manner as to
avoid major road construction.
=0F=07 Houston natives are so rare that they are listed on the endangered
species list. The few remaining specimens are kept in a controlled
environment for their own safety.
=0F=07 Sir" and "Ma'am" are used by the person speaking to you if there's=
a
remote possibility that you're at least 30 minutes older than they are.
=0F=07 "Sugar" is a more common form of address than "Miss". So is
"Honey". Do not take offense. This is how southerners address grown
women.
=0F=07 In Houston we drink Coca-Cola and Dr. Pepper. It is rumored that
other soft drinks are sold here, but no one will admit to knowing anyone
who actually drinks them. So don't ask for any other soft drink.
=0F=07 What you need to know when arriving at Bush Intercontinental
Airport: Your arrival gate is at least 32 miles away from the Main
Concourse of any terminal. Walking heels on your boots or walking shoes
are advised.
=0F=07 Never honk your horn at another car in Houston traffic. The bumper
sticker that reads, "Keep honking, I'm reloading" is considered fair
warning.
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Have a great weekend, y=0F'all.

badeer-r/discussion_threads/31. | subject: CAISO NOTIFICATION - Initiation of 1999 UFE Retro-Active Market A
content: ISO FALL 1999 UFE PROJECT
RETROACTIVE MARKET ADJUSTMENT ANNOUNCEMENT
June 15, 2000
MARKET PARTICIPANTS & SC SETTLEMENT CONTACTS;
NOTIFICATION OF RETRO-ACTIVE 1999 UFE MARKET CORRECTION
On July 3, 2000, the ISO, consistent with its commitment to the Market
Participants, will initiate Unaccounted for Energy (UFE) market adjustments,
for Market Settlements from August 21, 1999 through December 31, 1999.
These adjustments result from the correction of meter data errors,
identified and corrected by the ISO UFE Project. The Market Participants
have been very cooperative in working with the ISO. The mutual objectives
were to assure accurate settlement of Imbalance Energy, to rectify start-up
meter data management problems and to minimize UFE.
The overall magnitude of erroneous UFE identified by the ISO UFE Project is
approximately 1,100,000 MWhs or $ 70,000,000. The ISO Settlements and
Metering Department staffs are in the process of recalculating the specific
market charges impacted, for this period.
Actual retro-active UFE adjustments will commence on July 3, 2000, and be
applied initially to the May 9th Preliminary Settlement Statement (PSS). The
ISO's intention is to correct 15 settlement days per week over the next 10
weeks until the entire 1999 August 21-December 31 period settlements are
corrected. The ISO Settlements system time required to rerun settlements
constrains our ability to proceed more expeditiously. However, we do plan
completion by the end of Summer.
The ISO will apply retroactive adjustments to ALL UFE related Market
charges. The erroneous UFE identified by the ISO UFE Project will be charged
to the responsible Scheduling Coordinators (SCs), to help assure that no
adverse market impact occurs from cost shifting. Other SCs will receive the
associated charge type credits.
FINAL REPORT TO MARKET PARTICIPANTS - Fall 1999 ISO UFE PROJECT
On August 21, 1999, UFE in the PG&E Service Area increased substantially,
ranging from 4-15 %. This inordinately high UFE continued in excess of
typical amounts of UFE for this UDC Service Area (-1 to +1%), for four
months.
The ISO actively investigated potential systemic causes for this order of
magnitude increase in UFE.
ISO efforts consisted of a concerted review of SQMD submitted by SC's during
this period, a review of the ISO MDAS polled meter data for ISO metered
entities, a review of interchange data (exports), a review of the
Transmission Loss calculations used by ISO Settlements to calculate UFE by
UDC, an investigation of the Market Redesign Settlements software changes
associated with the drop of new Settlements software in mid- August and the
retention of a data consultant to help identify and isolate any causal
factor, attributable for the high UFE .
The effort to identify UFE related settlement issues for the period of
August 21, 1999 through December 31, 1999 is complete. The ISO UFE Project
team, working in conjunction with Market Participants, identified over 1.1
million MWH of erroneous UFE. This UFE is now accounted for, and will be
reassigned to the responsible SCs. The ISO Project identified over 14 casual
sources of UFE during this period. Many of the issues identified were
interrelated.
The last major source of UFE for the period was identified in April. This
UFE resulted from an erroneous Validation, Editing and Estimating (VEE)
factor, applied to firm load within the PG&E Service Area. This error,
associated with late or missed meter data adjustment, commenced October 1,
1999 and resulted in understated SC load of approximately 100 - 267 MW/hour,
through December.
The balance of the SC meter data management errors previously identified
were attributable to the complexity of using Pseudo Resources and Logical
Metering to model, schedule and settle Municipal UDC existing contracts
(ETCs).
The four primary SCs which experienced meter data problems, within the PG&E
UDC Service Area, have resubmitted corrected Settlement Quality Meter Data
(SQMD).
The ISO will initiate retroactive UFE Market adjustments for the Settlement
period of August 21,1999 through December 31, 1999. The magnitude of the
Market UFE adjustment is approximately $70 million. These retro-active
Market adjustments will complete the Project Team's work on the Fall 1999
UFE issue.
Present UFE Status:
March 2000 UFE, based upon Final Settlement Statements (FSS), is as follows:
System UFE +
0.22 %
PG&E UDC Service Area UFE + 0.17 %
SCE UDC Service Area UFE + 0.44 %
SDG&E UDC Service Area UFE - 0.45%

badeer-r/discussion_threads/32. | subject: *** INTERRUPTIBLE CUSTOMERS CAN PARTICIPATE IN ISO A/S PROGRAM ***
content: Load is up in CA and so is the potential for selling load curtailment
products to customers.
BOTTOMLINES:
PG&E has asked the CPUC to approve participation of E-19 and E-20 Direct
Access customers in the ISO A/S load participation pilot program (filed June
7).
SCE has asked the CPUC to approve that all customers on its Large Power
Interruptible tariff can participate in the ISO A/S load participation pilot
program (filed June 7).
FERC approved the ISO's Load Participation pilot progam and pricing on June
14, 2000, calling it an innovative program.
This appears to be a total GREEN LIGHT for Enron to move forward with
customers.
PROCESS:
The utilities filed advice letters. Comments are due on June 27. Unless you
tell us otherwise, we plan to file and seek expedited treatment. (The CPUC
has no required timetable in which to respond.) We expect the CPUC to
approve them -- there is pressure from many fronts to DO something about load
participation in the market. Both have asked for a July 17 effective date.
DETAILS:
SCE's is a much better document and makes a good case for CPUC approval, even
though the the customers are already benefitting from providing the utilities
with the option to curtail during system emergencies. SCE proposes the
following approach to prevent "double-dipping" by the customers: If the ISO
directs SCE to activate its load curtailment program during the time period
that the customer has an accepted bid from the ISO in the A/S market, SCE --
working with the ISO -- will adjust the customer's bill to avoid double
payments. SCE provides no more information, but, on principal, this seems
fair to me. We'll have to watch to see what the proposed procedure would be.
PG&E doesn't say much except that it is "unable" to offer this to bundled
customers (oh, gee -- must be more of those "system constraints") until
"later" (unspecified). I would expect large customer groups to argue about
that -- but it gives us the opportunity to push direct access. PG&E didn't
have much to offer on the "double-billing" issue -- it said either PG&E could
change the customers bill or the ISO could adjust its payment.
FERC threw out all the protests by various parties (e.g., MWD, M-S-R, other
munis) and approved the ISO's proposal. The big issues were: supposed
improper allocation of demand relief program costs (ISO allocates it to all
SCs based on metered demand during all hours of the program);q request to
charge those who are out of balance for most of the costs; the need to file
pro forma agreement in advance (FERC said ISO doesn't have to); and the
supposed overly restrictive program participation. If you want to know more
about the order, give me a call.
Have fun!

badeer-r/discussion_threads/35. | subject: Budget Language on Cal PX
content: It looks as though the budget language which would unwind the Commission's
recent decision to allow competition with the Cal PX will be passed.
Therefore, in the near term, the Cal PX is the only trading vehicle for the
utilities.
Our lobbyists found NO support in the legislature to buck the language.
Principally because the president of the Commission, Loretta Lynch, was the
one seeking a legislative fix to unwind a decision that her agency issued.
She had greased the skids with both the Republicans and the Democrats to
support the language.
So, as a result, the only thing that the Commission can do at this point is
study the affects of introducing competition with the Cal PX and issue a
report to the legislature by June 1, 2001. Prior to that date, the
Commission cannot implement any decision on this issue. Effectively, by the
time any change would occur, we could be at/or near the end of the transition
period, when the mandatory buy/sell requirement would terminate.
We can encourage the Commission to study this issue and use the time as an
opportunity to educate the Commission(ers) about Enron OnLine. If there were
perceptions that we would not qualify as an exchange, this would be a good
time to dispel that bias. Government Affairs would be happy to work with you
in organizing such an event. | mona.petrochko@enron.com | phyllis.anzalone@enron.com, douglas.condon@enron.com, |

Subject: Update on Discussions between CAISO and DSW Parties
The purpose of this e-mail is to update the recipients on the status of
the discussions that have been taking place, between the CAISO and
Desert Southwest market participants and transmission owners, on the
possible merger of the California and Desert Southwest regions into a
single RTO.
On June 5, a meeting was held in Phoenix to discuss the terms under
which various parties would seriously consider a proposal for
consolidation of California and the DSW under a single RTO operated by
the CAISO. This was the second meeting that was held to discuss this
idea. Represented were the CAISO, APS, PNM, TEP, EPE, TNP, APSES,
NewEnergy, Enron, Calpine, PG&E Gen, Southern, Duke, Cal PX, and DOE.
The issues that were discussed included the CAISO's ability to implement
the major components of the DSTAR commercial model, the changes that
would need to be made in the CAISO's governance and internal structure,
and costs.
The parties at the meeting were generally in favor of: (i)
consolidating the existing control areas into a single control area as
soon as possible, (ii) migrating to a common set of market protocols on
a fairly rapid basis, (iii) creating a single, independent, RTO
governing board with no bias in favor of either California or the Desert
Southwest region, and (iv) migrating from a regional advisory committee
structure to a single advisory committee structure as soon as possible,
to avoid balkanization and accelerate convergence. Most parties felt
that there were, at this time, no "show-stoppers" on most of the issues.
For many of the participants, the most significant outstanding questions
were: (i) the costs (both $/MWh and cost shifts) that Desert Southwest
parties would incur under the consolidation scenario, and (ii) timing -
i.e., whether the necessary implementation, governance and
organizational changes could be put into place by a target date of June
2001.
It was agreed that the next step was for the CAISO, working with
interested parties, to provide a tentative implementation cost (both
with and without consolidation of DSW control areas, but in both cases
with independent procurement and operation of ancillary services).
The agreed-upon Action Plan was as follows:
June 9: CAISO to develop list of questions which need to be answered to
enable it to develop a cost estimate
June 16: CAISO to respond to the list of questions generated at the June
5 meeting
June 16: CAISO to be provided with responses to the CAISO's list of
questions
June 16: Transmission owners to provide to the CAISO their definition of
the scenario(s) that they desire the CAISO to consider in developing its
cost estimate
July 10: CAISO to provide cost estimate
July 20: Meeting in Phoenix to discuss the cost estimate, address any
additional questions, and discuss the viability and possible contents of
a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
July 31: Decision from all interested parties regarding their desire to
move forward
August 15: Assuming a positive outcome on July 31, meeting to discuss
finalization of an MOU which would address the commitments of the
parties, market structure, changes in governance, organizational goals,
priorities and structures, etc.
Status: The first four items above are close to completion. The CAISO
has sent a list of technical questions to Carl Imparato and he is
completing a response. The CAISO is completing its response to the list
of questions it received on June 5. The interested transmission owners
have defined the scenarios that they wish to see considered by the
CAISO.
When all of these documents are finalized, which I expect to occur in
the next 2-3 days, I will forward them to all of the addresses.
If you have any questions, please give call me at 510-558-1456.

badeer-r/discussion_threads/6. | subject: EBS goes live! . . . 15,000 will be impacted on 7/1/00
content: Enron Broadband Services is the latest addition to the Enron SAP rollout.
The Apollo and Beyond project team and Enron's business units are currently
preparing for the project's final implementation. Apollo and Beyond is an
Enron initiative tasked with laying a common financial, human resources,
project management, and procurement foundation throughout the majority of
Enron's businesses.
EBS "Go-Live"
On April 1st, Enron Broadband Services supplemented their current SAP
functionality with HR Online and SAP HR, including payroll and organizational
structure management. HR Online enables the EBS population to enter their
own time, view and update their personal information, and view their vacation
time and individual payroll information via Enron's intranet.
Additionally, this implementation enhanced the SAP Financial, Project and
Procurement processes that EBS has had in operation since April 1, 1999.
These enhancements included an EBS pilot of B2B, a web-based requisitioning
tool. Among the benefits of these enhancements will be improved information
flow across business units currently on SAP.
July 1 "Go-Live"
This final Apollo and Beyond implementation will directly impact more than
15,000 Enron employees and contractors -- odds are that you are one of them!
People impacted on July 1st include:
all Enron employees paid out of Corporate Payroll in Houston, excluding
Azurix employees
the financial communities of Enron Energy Services, Enron Investment
Partners, Enron North America, Enron Renewable Energy Corporation, Gas
Pipeline Group, Global Finance, and Global Products.
the project management communities of Enron North America, Gas Pipeline
Group, Global Asset Operations, Global Finance, and Global Products.
the human resources communities of Corporate, Global E&P, Enron Energy
Services, Enron Engineering and Construction Company, Enron Investment
Partners, Enron North America, Enron Renewable Energy Corporation (Houston
only), the international regions, Gas Pipeline Group, Global Finance, and
Global Products.
General SAP training will be available in late April via the Enron intranet.
Additional, specific, SAP classes and workshops are scheduled to begin in May
and continue through August. Information on the project can be obtained
through the Enron intranet at http://sap.enron.com and by contacting Business
Unit representatives currently working with the project. A list of Business
Unit representatives is located on the intranet site.
Additional information related to the July 1st implementation will be
communicated to you over the next few months.
Thank you.

badeer-r/discussion_threads/67. | 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

badeer-r/discussion_threads/7. | subject: The New Power Company
content: The New Power Company, the first national residential and small business
energy service provider in deregulated
markets was launched today with strategic investors and partners including
Enron, IBM and America Online.
H. Eugene Lockhart has been named President and Chief Executive Officer of
the company. He was formerly President
of AT&T Consumer Services and Chief Marketing Officer of AT&T, as well as
President of Bank America's Global Retail
Bank and President and CEO of MasterCard International. Lockhart is joined
by a number of high-level executives from
the telecommunications and financial services sectors as well as several
former Enron executives specializing in energy
commodity pricing, marketing, risk management and government regulatory
affairs.
The former Enron employees include Jim Badum, formerly Managing Director of
Consumer Services at EES, John Henderson,
formerly Vice President of Retail Risk Management for EES, Dave Eichinger,
formerly Vice President of Corporate Development
for Enron Corp., and Kathleen Magruder, formerly Vice President of Government
Affairs for Enron Corp. Lou Pai, Chairman and
CEO for EES will serve as non-executive Chairman of The New Power Company.
Enron will provide The New Power Company with energy commodity pricing, risk
management, and government/
regulatory affairs. Ken Lay is quoted in the news release, "We've studied
the residential and small business market
for several years and believe this is the optimal way to provide value to
these customers. By assisting in setting up
an independent company, Enron is able to leverage its core competencies of
energy and risk management, while
partnering with other industry leaders to give The New Power Company
extraordinary and immediate depth and
capability." Ken will also serve on the Board of Directors.
The New Power Company is scheduled to initially provide service in
Pennsylvania and New Jersey in the second half
of 2000. The company will be headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, with
some operations in Houston.

badeer-r/discussion_threads/72. | 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.

content: Market Participants:
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://www1.caiso.com/pubinfo/BOG/documents/motions/20000525/Board/SDGEValle
yRainbow500KVProject.htm
<http://www1.caiso.com/pubinfo/BOG/documents/motions/20000525/Board/SDGEVall

found at http://www.caiso.com/thegrid/planning/sdge500kvtrans.html.
<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/discussion_threads/75. | subject: CAISO Notice - Staqkeholder Feedback on Congestion Reform Proposa l
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.

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 |

badeer-r/discussion_threads/87. | 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.
