Subject: Large Customers' Response to Hertzberg


To add to Bev's comments, I've gotten many calls from large customers today.
I'll be meeting with them in Sacramento on Monday to discuss the core/noncore  structure further and try to craft a core/noncore structure that makes  sense.
I've also asked Sandi and the Sacramento team to line up meetings  with key legislators while I'm there to discuss the same.
Business is, as was expected, very unhappy about that portion of the plan  that would stick them with all of Edison's debts.
They view it as unfair and  punitive (which it is) and are frustrated that the Democrats would include it  simply to "make the deal Harvey proof."
Many questioned Keeley about why the  Democrats are hell bent on pandering to Harvey.
Keely said that the Assembly  is also trying to come up with something that will get support from the  Senate (read "Burton").
Keely also mentioned our name in a list of many names as sources of  information used to build the proposal.

Subject: President's Lynch's View of Lobbying


Got a call that Loretta Lynch and Rod Wright, among others, spoke at  yesterday's annual meeting of regulation lawyers.
The following was very  briefly relayed to me:    President Lynch said that 1) de-regulation was founded on ideology, not  facts; 2) she wants to completely re-organize the PUC, top to bottom (in her  image?
Amen); 3) she frowns on lobbying---if you "come knocking on her door,
Subject: Back to $250 Cap in California


Wanted to make sure that you knew that today FERC declared the cap that the  ISO Board voted out last week "null and void," which means that we're back to  the old $250 cap.

Subject: IEP Info on Industry Meeting with Rod Wright


Sandi and Dave and Mike will dicuss further on the call on Monday but wanted  to disseminate info regarding the meeting that Joe Ronan of Calpine offered  on an IEP call today:  The meeting was attended by a lot of folks of all stripes.
Wright was very critical of how the Governor is handling the issue and wants  to craft a solution with the industry and then invite the Governor to get on  board.
Wright threw a whole laundry list of options on the table for folks to  consider (Dave's typing up his notes from the meeting for distribution later  today) One of Wright's key concern is forward contracting.
The utilities said that Loretta Lynch is the problem with the onerous  "prudence" criteria she's imposing on utility forward contracts.
Those onerous criteria keep the utility from contracting.
Much discussion of what California does on the gas side,  i.e., set an  objective benchmark price; if the utility beats it, they profit; if they do  worse, they take the hit.
The utility, under this framework, has broad  flexibility to contract forward, i.e., PUC gets out of the way.
(FYI:   Coincidentally, I suggested this approach in very broad terms--pointing to

Some of the accountants have been able to flag a few items that can be  archived but it has only been a very little.
Most of them are asking the  same question.
They want to know if there will be file cabinet space to  store the items that they are  not ready to send to archive but have no room  to store on their desks?
This is placing a hold on the archiving project  because I can't archive anything that the accountants won't give me the go  ahead on and quite frankly,  this is nearly everything I touch.

Subject: Update


As you have heard, Dynegy is terminating the merger agreement today.
Among other things, this means we are now free to pursue other alternatives - which we are actively doing.
As a consequence of uncertainty about the deal - and now Dynegy's announcement - Enron's debt was downgraded to below investment grade levels today by S&P, Moody's and Fitch.
In response to this action, we have initiated a plan to protect value in our core trading and other energy businesses.
At the same time, we are nearing the completion of the business review process announced last week.
Once this process is complete, we will be conducting a comprehensive restructuring of our business.
Regrettably, but unavoidably, this will include the sale of non-core assets and the implementation of a comprehensive cost saving plan, including layoffs.
We are taking these actions to focus our resources on preserving the value of our core businesses, retaining our employees who are key to our future success, and maintaining relationships with our trading counterparties.
This must be our priority to establish a more solid footing for the rest of Enron.
I know you have serious concerns about what this all means for you.
Although, there are no guarantees, you should know that we are still in this fight and remain absolutely committed to protecting the value of the ongoing businesses of Enron.
All I can ask is that we all be supportive of each other, stay focused on our work as best we can, and stick together while we work to overcome these latest challenges.
Even six or so weeks ago, none of us could have imagined that we would be where we are today.
We will not recover in six weeks what we have lost, but we will work to stabilize and then rebuild this great company.
As always, I appreciate the extraordinary contributions each of you make.
Thank you.

Subject: Emergency Power Generator Testing


Group,  For those on night and day shift on Saturday/Sunday the emergency back-up generators will be tested.
The testing will occur from 5 AM to 10 AM on Sunday morning.
Dave Steiner has assured me that RT will be unaffected and Dave will be on hand to help if anything is needed.
I think we should work to have everything submitted early to the CISO, tags made, etc.
At least for HE 6, HE 7 and HE 8.
This should give us some extra time if something goes wrong when they switch to the back-up power.

Subject: E-Tag 1.7 training


Good Morning,  Last Tuesday I attended the OATI training on E-Tag 1.7 in Houston.
Although this new tagging won't be implemented until March, we will have access to the Test site sometime in November or December.
This new way of tagging is very different from what we have now, and each group that makes tags is going to have to allow time for practice.
Also, because the format of the new tags is so different, the old templates will not work.
New templates will need to be created.
Please let me know if you want to have formal training sessions, and I will work up a series of them for January and February.

Subject: Important - Please Read


As I'm sure you're all aware, it took the group a day or two to hit its stride after EOL was launched on Aug. 20.
We have already received approximately 30 disputes filed by various counterparties regarding deals that flowed on the 20th and 21st.
Many of these will be especially difficult to settle correctly given the fact there is virtually no documentation or information to be found regarding the original deal.
Some deals done on EOL were altered; other bilateral trades were simply zeroed out; and still others exist only in the Inc sheets.
This situation outlines the extreme importance of documenting changes in deals as they're being made.
If you have reason to zero out a trade done by an earlier shift, or to alter a trade executed online, please convey that reason.
Some suggestions:  1.
If you have a notebook, and use it, please enter the date on the top of the page every time you start a shift.
Without that, your notes are pretty much worthless.
2.
Type a short note into the Scheduling Comments section of deals you zero out or change, especially if you're changing them much later than the time they were entered.
3.
Use the superfluity of spreadsheets, discussion databases, reports, Enpower applications, cut sheets, and other pieces of paper available to the Real Time group as evidence of your activity while on shift.
If this sounds unreasonable, I would welcome suggestions for an alternative.
Thanks for your help.

Subject: Inter-Desk Swaps - HOW TO


FYI -  It appears the issue of how to execute inter-desk swaps is still not resolved.
I've attached the instructional worksheet Bill sent out awhile ago - it is actually a very coherent rendering of the intricacies involved in entering these enigmatic deals.
(Read: Inter-desk swaps are not real easy to understand.
This worksheet is.)
One tip: If STCA is long or short going into the Real Time market, they will have entered a purchase from or sale to the California Imbalance as a sort of "place holder."
An offsetting purchase or sale will need to be made under the STCA book in order to complete the deal and keep STCA flat.
If you're feeling ambitious and want to see the direct effects of putting deals in under the wrong book, run a Forward Obligation report (in Enpower Reports under the Risk tab) for the day, desk, and region in question.
If you did everything correctly, the report should produce nothing but zeroes.
