Jeff or Paul:  Do either of you know how far out our WPTF membership goes?
Can I tell Gary that I am Enron's WPTF contact?

Subject: ESP Bond -- EEMC

I received a notice through Janet that if we don't pay $100k to California PUC by 12/26/01 our EEMC registration is suspended.
THIS MEANS THAT THE MONEY MUST BE THERE TOMORROW.
Suspension includes ceasing serving residential and small commercial (all accounts below 20kw) within 48 hours.
I think that we've already paid, but Jeff is checking.
If not, Wade please arrange payment to   Howard Shyrock Energy Division - 4th Floor CPUC 505 Van Ness Avenue SF, CA 94102  Thanks.

Subject: Lynch Ruling re Market Valuation

President Lynch has today released the attached ACR concerning market valuation of the utilities retained assets.
As you may know, AB 1890 originally required that for those generation-related assets that the Commission determines to be transition costs and that are subject to valuation, "the valuation used for the calculation of the uneconomic portion of the net book value shall be determined not later than December 31, 2001, and shall be based on appraisal, sale, or other divestiture."
Lynch states that this requirement was changed by AB 6X and that, "I intend to recommend to my colleagues that the requirement to value generation-assets subject to valuation by December 31, 2001 has been superseded by AB 6X.
Parties shall file and serve comments addressing this issue by January 15, 2002.
Reply comments shall be filed and served by January 25, 2002."

Subject: Edison Advice Letter Summary

Attached is a summary of several recent Edison advice letters.
Three of them may be of interest, dealing with demand reduction and self-generation, SCE service to Calpine's Pastoria plant in PG&E's service territory and changes to SCE's affiliate compliance program.

Subject: EXCELLENT NEWS!

In the spirit of the holiday season, SDG&E has come over from the dark side and now supports the assignability of direct access contracts!
The utility also supports the ability of existing direct access customers to indefinitely remain on direct access after their contracts expire with one ESP, permitting them either to renew with their existing supplier or sign a new contract with another ESP.
In the attached filing, the utility argues that this is reasonable and fair to direct access customers, particularly in view of the Enron bankruptcy.
This will be an excellent development to reference in the comments that are due on January 4th in the DA suspension proceeding.
Happy Holidays to each of you and your families!

Subject: *** Spring 2002 Registration Update ***

The Dean's Office has decided to cancel several of the Spring 2002 electives.
This decision was based not only on the very low pre-enrollment in the four canceled courses but also on the low overall "occupancy rate" for all elective courses (still only 46% after the cancellation of the four courses).
This low "occupancy rate" was due to the EWMBA having a surprisingly large number of students who graduated in their 5th semester.
Approximately 85 students completed their MBA requirements in December 2001.
The following are the four courses that were cancelled:  E233   Investments, Prof. Shachat E278-3 Business Law, Prof. Ross E296-7 Behavioral Finance, Prof. Odean     (If your work schedules permits, you will be given enrollment priority to the day section.)
BA/E 278-1 Law& Strategy of e-Commerce, Prof. Tiller   Obviously we regret this development, and recognize that this may create a schedule problem for you.
Therefore, we'd like to propose the following two registration options:  Open Classes If you would like to add an elective that did not fill up during the pre-registration process, reply to TJ tj@haas.berkeley.edu <mailto:tj@haas.berkeley.edu>  ASAP, but no later than noon on Friday, January 18th.
We will add the course to your schedule.
This will ensure that you get priority over the other students who will participate in the ADD/DROP phase starting on January 22nd.
Please refer to the attached file to see which classes still open.
Closed Classes  If you would like to get in to an elective which is currently full, and your original bid for the cancelled course would have been sufficient to get in to the now-full course, we will add you to the course as an over enrollment.
Reply to TJ tj@haas.berkeley.edu <mailto:tj@haas.berkeley.edu> ASAP, but no later than 12 noon on Friday, January 18th.
Please refer to the attachment file to see which classes are closed.
Please Note:   Per campus rules, in extraordinary circumstances such as these we are allowed to over-enroll, but by no more than 10% of the official class size.
Thus we have a finite number of spaces to work with.
Please refer to the size column of the first attached file to see how many seats we have to work with.
If more of you want in a class than we can accommodate, we will use original bids as the tie-breaker.
Once again, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.
Should you have any questions, feel free to call the office 510/642-1406.

Subject: Regulatory Updates - General Updates

Stephanie and I met with Jeff Dasovich in San Fransisco on Friday.
Jeff understands that he can play an important/strategic role in assisting ENA West Gas in understanding the regulated issues for Gas...
There is no doubt that ENA has spent most of our resources in power ( and for good reason) however we need to re focus energy on gas related structures.
To facilitate this effort, Jeff has offered to focus some more of his time and effort on coordinating some of the key commercial issues related to California.
Jane and Stephanie need to create a priority list that represents West Gas issues and "Hot Button" or action items.
Once created we can work with Jeff on action items.
In addition to this immediate need, Jeff will join our conference call's/meetings ( or attend where possible).
The next session I have on my calendar is Thurs Sept 5 @ 2:30.
I trust this initiative will further enhance an already effective procedure.
If there are any questions, let me know.
regards,
Subject: IEPA Call Update

A couple of items of note from this weeks IEPA call:  1.
As noted in Steven Kelly's recent e-mail, it looks like Commissioner Laurie is planning to leave the CEC at the end of the year.
The only siting case before him is Roseville, so Kelly thinks it is unlikely he will stay to see the case completed.
Commissioner Moore's term is also up at the end of the year.
Kelly thinks he will try to get an extension on his term 'till his siting cases are complete.
As I think we can all guess, Kelly is not optimistic about the replacements that might be named by Davis to fill their spots.
2.
The proceeding to modify the siting rules seems to be at a bit of a stalemate.
Commissioner Purnell has put forward some draft language to try to break the log jam.
IEPA is getting a copy to send out.
3.
Kelly thinks the critical issues that are going to be addressed in the CPUC IRP process are: a.
The market design issues surrounding procurement practices by utilities (assuming they regain this ability from DWR) b.
Procurement of renewables IEPA is planning to file to be a participating party to these proceedings.
If Enron wants to be a party separately we need to file a letter to that intent by Nov. 9th .
Steven thinks this time around PG&E and Sempra might be on our site on the generation issues b/c of their IPP businesses.
Let me know if you have any questions on these issues.
I'll keep you updated as things move forward.
Subject: DA Credit

Hi Jeff,  Please find below SCE's proposal to settle past Direct Access Credit issues and determine the Direct Access Credit going forward.

As of this point in time, the CPUC is NOT expected to vote tomorrow.

However, this new Commission has surprised us before, so if anything of import happens at next week's meeting, we'll notify you immediately.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
