Subject: RTO Comments

Attached are draft RTO comments.
The comments reflect EPMI's views on RTO development, given the Commission's apparent recent changes in position on the number of RTOs to be created.
We urge Right Sized RTOs without choosing a number.
The comments reflect input from Christi, Dave Perrino, Steve Walton, Mike Roan, Andy and Charles.
Please review the sections where you have had input to make sure we adequately reflected your points, but please also review the entire document and let us know your thoughts.
I'm still filling in cites and Bernadette will be working on the formatting, but the document is hopefully in pretty good shape.
There is no filing deadline for these comments, but we would like to submit them on Monday if possible.
It shouldn't take more than an hour to review.
In sending your comments, please "Reply to All" so everyone receives your comments.
Thanks for everyone's help.

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: DOE Meeting Dec 7th

Before I took on the ERCOT responsibilities, I was working with other EPSA members in preparation for the upcoming DOE sponsored forum to develop a wholesale electric standards setting organanization.
Since my move, it is likely that I will not be attending this workshop.
I have been an instrumental part in pushing for the formation of the wholesale electric quadrant of EISB.
Although I have not committed to making a presentation at this workshop, there was a possibility that I would be speaking on behalf of EPSA.
The meeting is a critical juncture for the EISB vs NERC showdown.
NERC will likely present its latest restructuring proposal which includes a 9 sector model.
I and other EPSA members have been advocating much fewer sectors for EISB.
A key point of the NERC proposal is that it may be able to accomodate an EISB approval process for standards.
This is imporatant in that it may be able to resolve the dichotomy between NERC expertise/infrastructure and EISB's reknowned (including FERC) consensus building process.
NERC could retain its standards development expertise, however, lose its biased voting process.
I think it is important to have coverage for this meeting, either, by someone on the NERC team or someone close to NERC in Washington.
The likely outcome of this meeting is a solidifying of industry support for either the NERC approach, or a clean slate EISB approach.
Jim would like for us to have a conference call to discuss.
I am available Monday, Wed, and Fri.   Charles X30348

Subject: Pescetti

Talked to Pescetti yesterday.
Prior to returning my call, he had received the information that Joe Kelliher had already been appointed to the open Republican spot, and therefore understands that there's no longer a Republican seat to run for.
We had a good talk.
I told him that reinstating DA was the most important energy issue facing California.

Subject: EU emissions trading directive and climate change plan released....

Yesterday, the European Commission adopted a climate change package, which includes a draft directive on emissions trading, an instrument of EU ratification of the Kyoto Protocol and policies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Please the attached press release outlining the package.
Major provisions of the draft emissions trading directive include:   The emissions trading scheme has two phases -- first phase (2005 - 2007), second phase (2008 - 2012)
Subject: rebuttal testimony schedule clarification

The September 26, 2001 order had established December 10, 2001 as the date  for  "Simultaneous rebuttal testimony on November 6, 2001 evidentiary  presentations."
On November 6, 2001 several parties had filed responsive  testimony on issues relating to other sources of cost recovery, including NOx  emissions and startup costs The November 23, 2001 order said these issues will be addressed at the  February hearing on issues 2 and 3.
This combination left Staff uncertain as to when rebuttal testimony on  these issues is to be filed.
We called Bryan Clark,  Judge  Birchman's  new law clerk, and asked when we are to file rebuttal  testimony.
He checked with Judge Birchman, and said we are to file all  rebuttal testimony on these issues on February 6, 2002.
Subject: SCE Stip

Have we disclosed the $125 million SCE number in any other filing that you can recall that is public.

We are considering including it in our stip to be filed at the CPUC.
Peggy, would this be a problem?
Subject: Additional Schedule Clarification - 202(c) witness availability

Judge  Birchman's November 23rd Order sets January 8, 2002 as the hearing date for  202(c) issues.
As we discussed during the November 20th phone conference, the  witness for the State Water Contractors, Richard Jones, is not available for  cross examination on January 8th.
As we agreed during the phone conference, Mr.  Jones will be available during the December hearing dates for cross examination  on the 202(c) issues.
Since he will be traveling in for the hearings we need to set a date within  the December hearings when the cross examination (if any) will take place.
We suggest that he be available on December 21st, the last day of the  December hearings.
If anyone prefers that he be available on a different date,  please advise us by the end of the this week (November 30th) so that travel  plans can be made.
Sincerely,
Subject: Legislative Update

Earlier this year, the Joint Legislative Audit Committee instructed the Legislative Analyst to prepare a fiscal and policy analysis of the California Power Authority.
That report was released today during an informational hearing.
I have forwarded a copy of the report to Jeff.
I will forward a brief overview by facsimile to San Francisco, Houston and Portland.
The highlights of the report are as follows:  The focus of the CPA has shifted dramatically since its inception.
The CPA originally focused on purchasing peakers whereas it is now focused on DSM.
There are several areas that may warrant additional legislative activity: 	Provide legislative oversight 	Establish a mechanism for using revenue bonds 	Clarify the CPA's eminent domain authority 	Clarify the power of the CPA to invest in transmission 	Clarify the relationships between all California power agencies   In addition, I spoke to Energy Committee staff today about next year's possible activities.
In their estimation, the Legislature may be forced to address some of the items in the LAO report regarding the CPA.
In addition, they have to do something regarding the bonds because SBX2 18 was never sent to the Governor because of his threatened veto.
They expect no bills authorizing grants or incentives due to the state's budget crunch.
Senator Bowen is still interested in DA and green DA, but they see this as a second tier item.
The future of DA will be dictated in part by how the CPUC addresses the undercollection.

Subject: Mirant Protected Materials

As discussed on today's conference call, in an effort to satisfy the Presiding Judge's request to remove the protected status of materials, Mirant proposes the following action concerning exhibits it filed Nov. 6 pursuant to the protective order in the EL00-95 proceeding (namely, MIR-3 and MIR-4) : Mirant proposes to formally withdraw its submission of the protected versions of Exhibits MIR-3 and MIR-4, leaving the redacted versions of these exhibits as the only versions of MIR-3 and MIR-4 in the record.
As noted on the conference call today, Mirant believes that the limited amount of material redacted from these exhibits (certain PPAs pursuant to which Mirant incurred emissions costs) is not relevant to the issues in this proceeding.
If any party objects to or has concerns about Mirant undertaking such action, please let me know no later than November 28, 2001 at noon, EST.
Thanks much,

Subject: California Update--11.26.01

Rules governing suspension of DA and threats of retroactive suspension We have helped assemble a coalition of ESPs and business customers to get the most liberal rules possible (e.g., customers can renew DA contracts, customers can add facilities if contract permits, ESPs can assign contracts to other ESPs with consent of customer, ESP and customer can modify existing contract provisions.)
The ESP coalition that we're a part of will file comments on Wednesday on how the suspension rules ought to work.
Retroactively suspending DA remains on the table for debate and remains a threat.
But support at the Commission for retroactivity has diminshed considerably and most think that the likelihood of retroactivity is low at this point.
One Commissioner--Carl Wood--continues to express support for pushing the date back, however.

Subject: Partial variance to AAC R14-2-1606(b)

Leslie,  I have just completed reviewing the APS filing.
This paper explains much of the observed behavior of APS during the DSTAR (WestConnect) proceedings over the last several months.
The paper is so full of market "scare" tactics it seems appropriate to be reading it during the Halloween season.
The token effort of procuring 270MWs starting 2003 and ramping up to 1670 MWs in 2008 is ridiculous.
The statements that APS generation is somehow more secure and reliable than any generation not owned by APS, using the same grid, and that non-APS generators have little if any responsibility to the "Full-Requirements" customers are all beyond belief.
The mis-characterization of the problems experienced in CA, OR and WA and the contemptuous citing of "experts" seems typical of the APS distain for deregulation.
The entire filing is more like a guaranteed plan to recover the "Billion" dollars invested by APS, with convenient adjustment clauses every three years.
As you noted earlier today, the Commissioner of the ACC may be more concerned over the APS stock price than truly encouraging open markets and retail access and what better why to help the stock price than to award APS a 14 year contract...look at what the Defense Department did for Lockheed!!!
I spoke with Chris Lackey who met earlier this month with Pinnacle West's (APS subsidiary) head of Trading who told him that PinWest is very conservative (as stated in the filing), their primary function is to support APS and they saw no real opportunities to conduct business with Enron.
However that could change if their petition is denied.
Please let me know how you'd like to proceed.
If this is approved by the ACC I assume it must then go to FERC, do we have an opportunity to intervene with the ACC and/or FERC in regards to this filing?
If we do, I'll be happy to help you with composition of the documents.
Kind Regards,
