OUT: Weekly Report of 12/21/01

IN: Another Tino-gram. DOE disclosed to Team Tino that they pay a $7.06/mo demand charge per KW in addition to the $.053/kwh energy charge. Tino didn't know whether that was per KW of monthly demand, per KW of non-coincident peak usage, or what. The PNM tariff for govt. service is priced at $7.16/KW of "demand above 10,000kw during peak period" (peak period is daytime) so I assume that is how it is calculated. If that is the tariff ("Schedule 4000B") under which DOE really takes service, this is interesting because that is not a very big discount off of the stated rate. It is also interesting that DOE is paying $.053/kwh for energy since the Schedule 4000B energy rate is $.05072/kwh (maybe the difference is surcharges or something). Tino's consultant has figured out that the demand charge equates to an incremental $.011 in addition to the $.053/kwh energy charge, for a total delivered PNM rate to DOE of $.064/kwh. This is not as good as the 7 cent number Tino threw around earlier in the week, but its still not terrible. If the bogey is a 10% reduction to the current rate, our number to beat is $.0576/kwh. Tino promised us copies of DOE's actual energy bills to confirm these numbers. That would be great and solves the due diligence problem you and I talked about yesterday, Kevin. Tino also passed along a rumor he heard from the Isleta's consultant that the Cobisa Belen project is dead. Do we know anything about this??? Interesting. I'm waiting to hear back from Bill Votaw to line up a due diligence call to Tino's government contracts lawyers in DC to confirm whether the "sole source" strategy is legit. Kevin, I'll let you know when this is scheduled in case you want to be on the call. Thanks. DF

IN: I know that you were sitting there feeling sorry for me about having to work so I thought I would give you an update. WE DON'T HAVE TO WORK THIS WEEKEND...yeah! We are not flying out to Atlanta until the following week. We spoke with the Travel Agent and she told us that she does not think that we would be able to get our flight out! Anyway, getting my remote control is on my list of things to do. Will you be around this weekend? If so, maybe I can stop by and pick it up. You can always leave it in your mailbox, too! Just let me know what works and we can play it by ear! !
