Subject: Budget Cuts

Jeff and Sue:  The Governor proposed the following energy-related budget cuts today:  Biomass Grant Program - Revert $5.5 million of the $11.5 million budget back to the General Fund.
The program provides grants to operators of biomass plants to offset loses.
Renewable Energy Loan Guarantee Fund - Revert $29.9 million back to the General Fund.
The program would have required the Trade and Commerce Agency to guarantee loans made by financial institutions to eligible businesses for the permitting, manufacturing, acquisition, construction, or installation of renewable energy systems that are intended to decrease demand on the grid.
Powerwalk Program - Revert $3.2 million of the $20 million budget back to the General Fund.
The program requires the Conservation Corps to distribute energy efficiency information and light bulbs in low income communities.
Agricultural Peak Demand - Revert $29.4 million of the $86.3 million budget back to the General Fund.
The program requires the state to provide grants to the agriculture industry to install energy efficient hardware.
Expedited Siting Applications - Revert $3 million back to the General Fund.
The program would have aided local governments by enabling them to hire additional consultants to review siting applications.
Power Plant Construction Bonuses - Revert $14 million of the $20 million budget back to the General Fund.
The program provided bonuses to power plant owners who got their plants on-line within a specified time period.
Renewable Energy Program - Revert $24.9 million of the $25 million budget back to the General Fund.
The program would have required the state to establish a renewable energy program to provide financial assistance to public power entities, independent generators, utilities, or businesses manufacturing renewable energy generation components or systems, or both, to generate new and renewable energy sources.
Oil and Natural Gas Pumping - Revert $9.6 million back to the General Fund.
The program would have provided for energy efficiency audits of various oil and natural gas facilities.

Subject: some mail

Hey Jeff - I'm still wondering if my last email made it through.
Maybe you remember me saying I hit send and Outlook Express closed.
The email got into my "sent items" but I don't see how it could have sent if the program closed so fast.
Here is a copy, I don't want to just send it out and bug everyone if they already got it so I'll just bug you.
Could you let me know if you already got this:  Hi everybody, I happened on an addition to my search for info while doing a little research last night.
There just might not be anything on this out there yet, but I was at Asus' website last night and it seems they have a new dual-processer motherboard out called a CUV266-DLS and I can't find anything about it anywhere.
Maybe it's too new or too expensive for anyone to have bothered with up to this point but I'm snooping around so if you've heard anything...  thanks - Avram

Fellow Evening Haasians,  Who are these so called account managers, Rich, Jenny and Mark?
What do they do?
How can we leverage off their expertise and they, ours?
Do they have specific company contacts?
Where can they be found?
Will the ubiquitous pizza be served to entice you to attend?
Strong possibility.
Will I have to sign up on Bear Tracks?
No.
How can attending benefit me?
It's up to you.
To answer these questions and many more, we will be scheduling during -  Mon, Nov. 26 during the break (i.e., 7:30 - 8:15) in C125 and Thu, Dec. 6 during the break as well in the Career Center Conference Room (S420)  an informational session with the account managers.
Here's a description that Rich Wong, the financial services account manager prepared:  "The Haas Career Center staff includes 3 account managers that can be a valuable resource to those that are exploring job or career direction changes.
Their role is to be the primary liaison for recruiters in their specific industry sectors, being the one-stop shop point person for companies interested in connecting with Haas MBA students.
They cover a full spectrum of responsibilities from the logistics of setting up presentations and interviews to establishing contacts and providing strategic guidance to recruiters (including both hiring managers as well as University Recruiting reps within human resource departments).
Through this activity, they gain insights into their company/industry focus that they are happy to share with Haas students, John Morel, and the other career advisors in the Haas Career Center."
Feel free to contact them regarding questions on companies and industries that they represent.
Conversely, please provide them with any valuable contacts that you have in current/former employers that might help them aid your schoolmates to find employment opportunities.
They are located in the Recruitment Center (S330 by the ATM machine) and their contact information is as follows:
Subject: Negotiating Skills - Second Class

On November 7, SVMG offered a "Negotiating Skills Workshop" to a sold-out group of participants.
The feedback from all 20 Member Company participants has been fantastic.
In light of the strong demand for the course, and the outstanding response from those who participated, we will offer this class again on April 17, 2002, for another 20 Member Company representatives.
Like the first course, I expect this to book up quickly, and encourage you to secure the date on your calendar and RSVP as soon as possible.
Joe Crowley, one of the best Negotiating Skills teachers in the Country, will once again serve as our instructor.
Please come and enhance your Negotiating Skills through this one-day, hands-on, workshop.
The full-day workship includes one-on-one and small-group exercises, and key negotiations techniques and practices, in an interactive setting.
The cost for the day is only $250 per person, and includes a continental breakfast and light lunch.
Again, we are limited to the first 20 participants in order to keep the course interactive.
I am also pleased to announce that Compaq has graciously offered to host the April 17 conference.
Many thanks to Shawna Holmes for serving as our sponsor!
The course will run from 8am until 5pm.
Please RSVP by simply responding to this e-mail, or by calling the SVMG Offices at 408-501-7864.
Sincerely,
Subject: Favor

Hi Jeff,  Hope you are doing well.
Got your email from Scott.
I'm hoping you can do me a favor.
We are doing a  research project for a client and are trying to identify key technical management at a variety of companies, including Enron.
Specifically, we are looking for names and addresses of the following:  CIO/CTO VP, Directors and/or Sr. Managers responsible for the company's network.
They'll typically have titles like VP of Network Operations and Senior Network Architect.
Any chance you can get me this info for Enron?
I'd be forever in your debt.
thanks,
Subject: Water

Assembly Member Tim Leslie is interested in sponsoring a bill which would grant air credits to prospective power plant owners in exchange for using reclaimed water.
The bill is in its infancy and none of the details have been worked out.
His office would like to know if Enron would be interested in providing technical assistance with the measure.
They approached Enron because of the Roseville plant, recognizing that Roseville already has its air credits and is already scheduled to use reclaimed water.
Thoughts?

Subject: Implementation of the Suspension Direct Access -- UDCs' Plan

On Friday, November 16th, the UDCs submitted their joint plan for implementing the suspension of direct access.
Parties have until, Wednesday, November 28th, to comment.
The following are proposed implementation rules for which the UDCs seek Commission approval:  1.
A  DASR can only be processed if the customer name appears on the ESP List submitted to the UDCs on October 5, 2001.
2.
In order to submit an ESP List the ESP must have a valid ESP/UDC Service Agreement as of September 20, 2001 and , for ESPs serving small customers, they must have in effect a valid Commission registration as of September 20, 2001.
3.
For a DASR to be processed for a residential or small commercial customer account, the ESP must be able to demonstrate that the required third party verification took place prior to September 20, 2001.
4.
Customers should not be allowed to switch from one ESP to another after September 20 unless the new ESP had a valid ESP- customer contract in place on or before Sept. 20th.
5.
Seamless moves within a UDC's service territory will be allowed.
6.
For customers on bundled service as of September 20, 2001 (but still under a DA contract), the UDCs are proposing not to allow such customers to process DASRs even if their names are on the October 5 list.
7.
If all  accounts of one ESP transferred to another as a result of a merger, then the situation is okay because no new DASR would be required; requests for one customer to switch from one ESP to another only allowed if the new ESP-customer relationship had a contract prior to Sept. 20, 2001.
8.
Changes in customer identity allowed on  case by case basis (e.g., if a customer changes its type of business it would not be allowed).
9.
One  customer can not transfer or assign its direct access service rights to another.
10.
Processing of DASRs submitted for customers who attempt to opt into a community aggregation program after the suspension date should not be allowed.
In addition to the above, the UDCs proposed three additional options for implementing the suspension.
1.
The Commission should impose a DASR cut-off date (received and accepted).
2.
If the Commission does not impose a strict DASR cut off, it should require that any ESP which wishes to have a DASR processed after the cut off to submit their account specific DASR information and ESP contract to the Commission along with an explanation of why the customer is eligible to receive DA.
The UDC will not process the DASR until it receives an okay from the Commission.
3.
The ESP certifies through an affidavit that a particular DASR was associated with a contract in existence on September 20, 2001 (the UDCs set forth a proposed affidavit.)
If you have any questions, please call  Jeanne
Subject: No class Wed. 11/21

Subject: American Thanksgiving

A few months ago, I sent a note to the North American Government Affairs group commemorating a bit of an end point in our efforts relative to California.
In that memo, I included a quote that went as follows ?
"What we do in life echoes through eternity".
I think of these words often and believe them more than ever, particularly after the events, both external and internal to Enron, of the last few months.
I do not know for sure what the next few weeks or months will bring for any of us, but I do know that what we've done here at Enron in Government Affairs over the last several years, whether in Houston, Washington, London, Brussels, Sao Paulo, etc.
was very good and will be remembered for the positive difference that we have all made in the industries in which we have worked and for each other.
We even had a good time doing it.
The good work we do will go on for many, if not, all of us .
.
.
for some, here; for others, elsewhere.
Regardless of what the future holds, we should all be quite proud of what we have accomplished here and how it has been accomplished.
My personal appreciation for all that you have done as well as at having had the opportunity to be part of a group that, unfortunately, will be inalterably impacted and changed over the next few weeks, is boundless.
Irrespective of where these changes may take any one of us, I will continue to do all I can to earn your trust and respect.
On a more holiday-related note, for those in the U.S., who are working this week, please feel free to leave as early as possible on Wednesday in advance of Thanksgiving to spend time with your families or loved ones.
For those not celebrating the American Thanksgiving, you too should try and take some additional time for yourself and families over the next few days, work and business demands permitting.

Subject: SCE Advice Letter to Implement Settlement with Commission

On November 14, 2001, SCE filed an advice to establish the ratemaking necessary to implement a number of regulatory components included in its October 2nd Settlement with the Commission   The settlement agreement described the operation a new account termed the PROACT that the Commission will establish by order.
The advice letter provides the structure and operation of the PROACT, The beginning balance of the PROACT will consists of the unrecovered procurement related obligation as of September 1, 2001.
Beginning on Sept. 1, on a monthly basis, the following amounts will be recorded in the PROACT: (1) SCE's Surplus (recorded revenues minus recoverable costs); (2) all refunds related to procurement related liabilities; (3) securitization proceeds, (4) interest expense.
The advice letter provides a detailed explanation as to how SCE's surplus and recoverable costs will be calculated.
In addition, the advice letter addresses settlement rates.
SCE notes that, under the Settlement, the Commission agreed to maintain electric retail rates for retail customers at no less than the Settlement Rates during the Repayment Period.
Settlement Rates are defined in the Settlement as " gross electric retail rates (including surcharges)".
In its advice letter, SCE proposes to define gross electric retail rates to mean the system average rates.
By defining it that way, the Commission can change the revenue allocation between rate groups, as well as effect some rate increases/decreases in certain rate components as long as such revisions do not result in a change in SCE's system average rates.
SCE has asked for a September 1, 2001 effective date for the advice filing.
Under standard procedures, protests on the filing would be due December 4th.
SCE has asked for an accelerated schedule of November 28.
To date, as far as I am aware, it has not been granted.
Please let me know as soon as possible if Enron would like to weigh in on this advice filing.

Subject: Negotiating Skills - SOLD OUT!

Dear SVMG Member -  Last Friday at 1pm, we sent out an e-mail to you announcing a second opportunity to participate in our Negotiating Skills Workshop, scheduled for April 17, 2002.
By the close of business last Friday, the April 17 Workshop is also sold out!
That is the bad news.
The GOOD NEWS is that the instructor - Joe Crowley - and our host, Compaq (thanks Shawna Holmes!)
have graciously agreed to offer a second day - April 18 - for an additional class.
As you know, we first offered this Workshop a few weeks ago, to a sold out group, and it was overwhelmingly popular.
Therefore, we are pleased to announce a third opportunity to participate in the NEGOTIATING SKILLS WORKSHOP.
Once again, it is open to the first 20 RSVP's that we receive.
Details for this additional class are as follows:

Can they get into Pac Tel and try and find out if we have done something inappropriate?
We need to call this guy back by Monday EOB.
Please let Jeff Dasovich know so he can call Joyce back - I'll be out on vacation next week.
Subject: Job candidates for Enron

Hi Jeff:  I'm not sure if hiring is an issue these days for you, but I wanted to let you know that Jim Bushnell and I will be again teaching a course at Berkeley this spring called "Energy Market Strategies and Policies."
The course is cross-listed between the Haas School of Business and the Energy & Resources Group (ERG) at UC Berkeley.
The course is currently limited to 42 students, but it is already over-subscribed, so we are trying to move it to a larger classroom.
We'll have mostly MBA students from Haas, but also about a dozen masters students from ERG.
There are also usually at least a few PhD students.
The students in the class are were very smart -- many of them

Subject: Farewell

All -   It is with no surprise (I've only known I was leaving for 6 months now!)
and yet still with a heavy heart that I wish you all farewell and the best for the future.
I am in my last week here at the Lazy E and I am getting around the part that I dreaded the most - goodbyes.
I have and will be sending notes to most of the people I have worked with over the past 3 1/2 years (whether they like it or not), but you are the folks I have learned the most from and will miss the most painfully.
It's hard to believe the roller coaster we have been on - both the ups and downs - and I don't think it would have been as manageable, tolerable, or fun without you.
I really have had more fun in this job than I could ever have imagined coming in.
Everyone has been a great friend and mentor, and I will always appreciate the time you have spent with me, indulged my questions, put up with my wandering attentions, and made sure I got home safely in a clean cab...
Unfortunately I am sure there will probably be more "good bye" emails to come your way over the next few weeks, so I'll keep this brief and close for now.
But I hope for the absolute best for all of you and your families, and do not underestimate the impact you have had on me or the high esteem I hold you in.
Best regards, Scott  Our home info (in case anyone wants to play "six degrees of Kevin Bacon," debate the witticisms of Dorothy Parker and Redd Foxx, or just keep in touch)
