Subject: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Dear Friends,   As has been my custom for the last several years since my moving from New Yorkto CaliforniaI am sending a message wishing each and every one of you and your families the Happiest and Healthiest of Holiday Seasons.
This year perhaps more than ever I have had the chance to think about how fortunate I have been to be able to send a greeting out to so many people with whom I have had the opportunity to work with and call my friends over the years.
From the old NYPP to ABB, APX and Enron, it has been my pleasure to have worked with you.
No matter where I have gone I have been lucky enough to met and work with some of the best people in the industry.
My hope for each of you is to have a prosperous New Year and that I have the opportunity to see you again as time moves forward.
Happy Holidays,
Subject: SoCalGas Files Motion with Bankruptcy Court Regarding Gas Business  with Enron

FYI.
I lifted this from SoCalGas' responses filed today to PUC questions regarding our electric and gas activities in California.
We may want to get our hands on the filing, which I do not have.
Best,
Subject: TX Collateral posting

We have previously told the TX PUC Staff we will be posting required collateral of $100,000 by the end of the month  (as required by Rule 25.107(f)) in order to maintain EES certification.
The requirement is that we maintain "unused cash resources of at least $100,000, which will allow the REP to incur in Texas up to $250,000 in total monthly billings from TDUs."
Staff says we can meet this requirement by posting the $$ to an account of our choice.
We just need to notify them where the money is and state the money is for the purpose of this rule.
Subject: DA Payments Due for PGE and SCE

Kim, I have done an exhaustive audit of what needs to be paid in order to bring our DA bills current in PGE and SCE.
All the bills included on these files are pre-petition.
We are not past due on any post-petition  bills.
I will be out until January 2 (unless Evan can come up with a compelling reason for me to come back sooner) so I am saving the files on the P drive in a folder called "Diann" in case a payment needs to be made this week.
I will be in town, so please don't hesitate to page me if you have questions.
(The two files with CPUC on the end are the files which go to Jean Bennett with Goodin, et al.)
In summary, we need to pay $14,313,872.35 to bring us current:  SCE Disputed bills = $1,349,729.51 to be wired to Goodin, et al SCE Undisputed bills = $276,090.13 to be paid to UDC  PGE Disputed = $11,713,991.02 to be wired to Goodin, et al PGE Undisputed = $974,061.69 to be paid to UDC
Subject: Columbia of Ohio

I have talked to Penny Price 614-460-5540 about the letter COH sent to our customers.
We estimate we have lost 5-10% of our customers effective for January because of this letter.
She was to have their attorney, Dave Keenan, call me but I haven't heard from him yet.
I told her we will want a clarifying letter to go out and a retraction to the statement "Enron may or may not be able to supply your customer needs."
A gas contact at the OH PUC is Kerry Adkins 614-752-9374.
I have told other staffers of the problem ( Tamara Turkenton of Consumer Services) and she gave me Kerry's name.

Subject: Letter form ISO New England

In our department, we have received two letters as follows:  	1.
A letter from ISO New England notifying us that EES is in "Finanacial Assurance Defuals."
According to the letter, EES "must cure this Finanacial Assurance Default on or before December 21, 2001."
This letter was originally mailed to Richard Ring (EES), Becky Pitre (EES), and Jim Steffes (EPMI) from the ISO New England.
2.
A letter from ISO New England with the correspondence that they received from Safeco Insurance Company about them not extending "Surety Credit to Enron Post Petition."

Subject: Power Prepayments

It currently looks like we will not have any wire requests today for power prepayments.
East Power - We are currently working with PJM and NEPOOL to come to a payment resolution to remain active and current in those two markets, and will not have any need for a wire transfers today (the earliest we will need may be tomorrow depending upon form of resolution).
Additionally, given the post Christmas market conditions and lack of liquidity (and staffing needs in companies other than Enron), Kevin and Dana were not able to execute any bilateral prepay deals for the regions outside PJM and NEPOOL.
They will be continuing to push these deals for the next several days, but realistically, it may be next week before we can actually pull these off.
West Power -  We will have tomorrow a detailed prepay list and wire requests for the first week of January.
Thanks for everyone's help with this process.
Don
Subject: Update 12/27/2001

Attached is the EES update for 12/27.
We have received the NEPOOL escrow instructions and amount, but not the sign off yet to fund.
I assume this will have to be Friday, so its in the forecast for tomorrow.
If not, then it will be Monday or later next week.
Thanks

Subject: Ontario Market Opening Strategy

Guys,  Attached is my strategy plan for Ontario over the next four months.
I have discussed it with Paul DeVries and Rob Milnthorp and they are supportive.
My market opening strategy dovetails with my thoughts on staffing in Toronto which are that we need immediate short term full time support for the next few for Enron Direct from either a contract employee/consultant/lawyer knowledgeable on Ontario retail and gas issues.
This person would be supported by me, Fino Tiberi, and Vinio Floris and may be offered a permanent position based on their performance during the contract period.
The project would be to do the assembly of pertinent rules, legislation, tariffs, etc that govern the retail gas and power markets in Ontario (same project Fino and Dave Vetsch are doing in Alberta).
On wholesale and market opening issues I intend to wait on replacing Aleck and instead rely solely on the market opening strategy (which includes my personal involvement) to cover off our advocacy requirements in Ontario over the next four months.
Coverage of more technical issues (eg those dealt with by the IMO Techical Panel) will be covered by me and Garrett Tripp (the trader in the Toronto Office who apparently has time given he is waiting for market opening).
I don't expect the technical work in requirements in Ontario will be extensive.
Before the end of February, I will have a much better sense of the prospect for market opening and will then resume the search for a permanent Government Affairs staff member to assume Aleck's former responsibilities.
Obviously nothing in this is written in stone, so I wanted to discuss with you guys preferrably today so or Monday morning.
I can be reached on my cell phone today at (403) 818-6797 (except between 12:00 and 4:00 your time when I am on a plane back to Calgary)  Regards,
Subject: Answers from SoCal

1)  The G-IMB rate is the monthly gas adjustment rate published on their web page.
For Sept., it was $3.92 per Dth.
(Last winter, it exceeded $60 per Dth.)
The calculation under Sec 6 of the margin agreement would always use the most recently published price.
2)  Their current calculation shows a short of 76,000 Dth based on usage of 648,000 and delivery of 572,000.
Brent will fax me the actual documentation.
3)  Gas in storage is not pledgeable for this purpose.
They are saying storage gas is already required under the contract.
Brent told me there will definitely be a letter sent to Enron today spelling out the request and consequences for non-compliance by the 13th.
I need to know who all should receive this letter and proposed agreement.

Subject: MISO Meeting last week

Meeting covered Market Power and Market Monitoring issues.
First presenter was David Patton, from Potomac Economics.
This firm has been jointly hired to provide technical support to SPP, MISO and Alliance.
Many initial questions on what is market power, how can you define a well functioning market, etc.
David envisions a market monitoring organization.
If a problem emerges, it has to work with the RTO.
IMM should not recommend power mitigation measures, but it should report any problems to FERC.
It (has to go via FERC).
General feeling is that Market Monitoring should be much more than market power, but to make sure that the market as a whole is functioning.
It seems to me that the proposal is aligned with what Christi has advocated as part of the Southeast Mitigation.
Multiple questions on how power market should be handled for must run, out of merit (constrained on and contrained off plants) and inflexible plants (e.g.
hydro or take or pay gas contracts).
Proposals to establish price caps were not accepted.
Instead a proposal to deal with one or more generators with potential mkt power: they should   have caps on bid prices.
David proposed some market rules to deal with specific circumstances.
It was generally accepted that demand side response should be used to mitigate market power.
Other questions on how demand side bidding shold be operationalized (Mike: are there  rules for DSB as part of the MISO Market Rules compendium?)
Second Presenter - from WPPI.
He raised serious concerns about potential market power in the region (Michigan Peninsula).
Should utilities have approval to sell at market based rates?
How should ATC be calculate to take into account counterflows?
Issue is more pertinent until RTO enter into day 2 phase.
Presenter's proposal, which faced a lot of resistance, was to assume that all Gs have market power, unless they prove otherwise (except must run agreements for reliability purposes).
Roberto disagreed: this goes beyond MISO's authority.
RTO has to work with IMM if market power is suspected.
Dynegy requested David to further explore the situation of must run plants.
David asked whether or not we had filed our position on MM for MISO.
Mike: you may want to send him a copy, just as a courtesy.

Subject: National Grid

Jim I am working on the questions for Ashley Brown.
I should have a draft tomorrow, to be checked by Paul.
In the meantime:  1) I am examining the currrent NGC system operator price control and incentive schemes under NETA.
It is a radical change from the previous regulation.
I would say it is a sophisticated piece of PBR.
It includes penalties and incentives on internal and external costs (e.g.
balancing) This document clearly states that the system would move away from central, merit order dispatch and would become much more self-dispatched.
As a ramification, T rights would be defined on a pnysical basis.
(far from our LMP, physical rights model).
Your suspicion about NG proposal was right on targed  2) As part of the definition of Profit-RTO (which I think lends itself to multiple interpretations), I prepared this simple graph.
In one of the questions we shoud ask Ashley where do they see themselves in the end-state.
My feeling is that the Southeast Mediation Report advocated for stage II, NGC is stage III and the "textbook" RTO is stage IV.
Subject: State Licensing/Utility Agreements

Gloria, Jim and Harry;  Thanks for pulling us all together on Monday.
We look forward to working with your group on merging the State Licensing and Utility Agreements into a common area, in order to keep the organization informed and up to date.
I wanted to re-cap just a bit.
The Services Group has state licensing responsibility for Gas and Power for EESI and EEMC.
We handle new licensing and renewals.
We are on an "auto-reminder" distribution from EES legal, Heather Mathis for renewals/reporting.
We physically house all documentation relating to licensing on our floor.
We currently publish and distribute as needed State License status report which identifies where we are licensed and what our license # is.
The Services Group works directly with Gloria for utility agreements, as we are one of many groups who she obtains sign-off from and/or information in order to execute agreements and State Licensing information is critical to her processes.
Gloria and I met yesterday to discuss next steps.
We are working together to provide the following.
1) Matrix of Executed Agreements which includes: State, License #, UDC, Agreement Type, Signatory, Date Issued, Expiration/Renewal, Security Requirements.
(2 Weeks) 2) Backfill each groups need for documentation - provide copies of State Licenses and/or UDC agreements.
(2 Weeks) 3) Identify the EES/ENE contacts sent to the State/UDC, update as needed, internally and externally.
(2 - 3 Weeks) 4) Provide Summary information regarding State/UDC that can be placed on EES Market Central (2-3 Weeks?)
5) Ensure information is updated, published, organized and accessible to all interested parties.
- Gloria has initiated creating binders that will be housed on the 47th floor - we will encompass State information with the executed UDC agreements.
Gloria, please feel free to add anything I have overlooked.
I've attached the contact list currently used when obtaining State Licenses.
This should help identify other stakeholders who you may want to speak with.
Regards,

Subject: Information Request

I thought that last night's call went well.
I hope that it was useful for you.
One action item that seemed to be emerging is for your negotiators to request certain information from the other side-perhaps as early as today.
I am sharpening up a memo that suggests key information to request and a priority scheme for the information.
I would like to review the draft with colleagues here before sending it to you in a couple of hours.
If you can tolerate the delay, you might suggest to the negotiators that they hold off until you receive my memo before deciding exactly what to request.
I am trying to keep things simple, but adequate to make some useful calculations.
I am mindful that we may only get one bite at the apple.
