As far as I can discern from my limited due diligence, the Bridgeline interests have not been pledged or encumbered by Enron and it does not appear that they have been directly affected by the Bankruptcy. Let me know if anything else needs to be rundown quickly. Jordan
Answer: Bridgeline
With respect to the "amends": Calpine Power: was already open for financial-no change to that approval Utilicorp. : I originally had Enron sales only for power, but Leslie is now telling me to open them for all power. Constellation: I originally had them shut down for financial, so I am opening them up. I originally had them shut down for power and they should stay shut down.
Answer: Counterparty Approval List for 10/23/00
Jeff, If what I hear is true about your retirement, let me be one of the first to offer heartfelt congratulations. I've never quite understood people that basically work right up to the grave. It always seemed to me (and now I'm finding out its true) that there are just way too many things to do, books to read, people to meet, places to go, etc., etc., to work 80 hour weeks for 50 years. When I first read about it, I thought that maybe you and Rebecca had flipped a coin and she lost. (She had told me that if the two of you got engaged, one of you would have to quit.) If you really are planning to retire, let me offer some advice. On my odyssey I've noticed a couple of humps I had to get over. The first one hit me at about ten days. All of a sudden I had the stupid impression that I should find something constructive to do. After a couple of days, the feeling went away. However it did come back at about the 4 week mark. Once again, I was able to come to my senses. I think I may have permanently suppressed the feeling at this point. Unfortunately, now that I really do have to go back to work, I can't seem to get too motivated. Oh well, maybe, if nothing else, I have learned not to work 80 hour weeks ever again. Best of luck and tell my sister hi. Steve P.S. I have sketched you a raised timber platform, with a small cabin in the center (for those that think they need indoor plumbing, etc.) If you find a place to put it, I want to build it. P.P.S. I just finished the first two volumes of Caro's L.B.J. biography. Extremely interesting if you're looking for reading mat'l.
Answer: Congrats!!!
JCharlton@nyiso.com writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: Attachment A of the Stage 2 ICAP Manual, as posted, states that on September 28, 2001 the NYISO will inform ICAP Suppliers of the amount of Unforced Capacity they are qualified to offer in the 2001-2002 Winter Capability Period. It also states that LSEs will be notified of the final Unforced Capacity requirements ("UCR") for the upcoming Obligation Procurement Period. Neither statement is correct and a revised Timeline is available for comment. It will be discussed and finalized at the next ICAP Working Group Meeting on October 5. After that October 5 meeting, the updated and corrected Timeline will be posted for approval at the October 25 BIC Meeting. Providing firm final ICAP Supplier UCAP values or LSE UCRs was never feasible in this timeframe. Preliminary LSE UCRs for November were provided to all LSEs on September 21. Final LSE UCRs will be provided on October 9. ICAP Suppliers can estimate their UCAP value based information already supplied. All ICAP Suppliers will have a firm UCAP value for November prior to October 9, if there are no problems with the data submitted and in time to participate in the Monthly Auction to be conducted on October 11. In the meantime, Suppliers can offer as much or as little UCAP for the Winter Capability Period strip auction as they expect to have available, recognizing that their EFORd values will be updated monthly during the Capability Period. Recognize also that there will continue to be Monthly and Deficiency auctions conducted each month during the Capability Period, allowing any Supplier or LSE to clear any long or short postions.
Answer:
ICAP Supplier UCAP and LSE UCAP Requirements
