Subject: standy Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/all_documents/1813. ===================================== It may, or may not, be as obvious to you as it is to me, but it seems like the issue of standy rates/charges for current and new self-generators has been brought back "on the table", as one of many effects of AB970.? The first attachment is a copy of ORAs comments (filed yesterday) that focuses on AB970 effects on DG/EE public purpose programs; the other attachments are media accounts of the effects of summer 2000 interruptions on participants and non-participants in various ISO/UDC "load management/demand respoisnivesness" programs, incluidng SCE's intended use of "windfalls" from "penalties" paid by those customers who were expected to cut loads but didn't. Basic question--does Enron have a position on standby rates/charges (e.g., should these rates/charges be lowered---now?) ? <<ORA Comments on ESRA for 2001 plans_Final.doc>> <<interrupt policy and practice_SCE windfall DJN 9_00.doc>> <<Interrupt_SCE participant drop outs DJN 8_00.doc>> <<Interup_Oil refinery drop outs DJN 8_00.doc>> <<Interupt_SCE_Inglewood dropout LAT 9_00.doc>> <<Interrup_Air Quality conflicts SJMN 8_00.doc>> - ORA Comments on ESRA for 2001 plans_Final.doc - interrupt policy and practice_SCE windfall DJN 9_00.doc - Interrupt_SCE participant drop outs DJN 8_00.doc - Interup_Oil refinery drop outs DJN 8_00.doc - Interupt_SCE_Inglewood dropout LAT 9_00.doc - Interrup_Air Quality conflicts SJMN 8_00.doc =====================================

Subject: Re: Draft Comments on DWR Letter Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/notes_inbox/4795. ===================================== Jeanne, I think you are saying more and going into more detail than we need to. It was my understanding from the call that you were not going to get into the statutory interpretation issues at all. I think modifying the first sentence of the carryover to the top of page 2 (at least as printed on my machine) is fully sufficient if you just say: "Moreover, EPMI submits that DWR has presented the Commission with a reasonable [STRIKEOUT interpretation of the STRIKEOUT] approach for implementing the applicable statutory language." I do not understand the benefit of the balance of the paragraph. It opens us up to getting drug into a interpretation argument we do not need to be in. Similarly, I do not understand why we would want to say "is consistent with the statutory language" and similar statements in the following paragraph. I am not sure I agree fully with those statements or that we need to be limiting our ability to respond to any further proposals which may come out by taking a firm position of the statutory foundation for CDWR's approach in this letter. Am I missing something? Thanks >>> JBennett <[email protected]> 03/21 11:26 AM >>> Attached, per our conference call of earlier this morning, are short and sweet comments on the March 14, 2001 letter of DWR re CPA implementation.

They have been given authority by the PUC to begin taking steps to sell from the remaining two (Alsio and La Goleta), but the PUC left some issues (principally around ratemaking) open, and have not given them the authority to actually begin selling the gas. SoCal would like to start selling around Oct. 1, so they're expecting (hoping for) a decision in early September. However, the state-run consumer group (ORA) and TURN have asked the Commission to require SoCal to retain two-thirds of the gas and sell it to the core at book value--unclear where the Commission will come out on that.

Subject: Practice Exam Problems + Clarifications on Take-Home Exam Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/mba__quant/1. ===================================== Dear E204-1, E204-2 Students, I am attaching a set of problems for your review. They are only sample problems for discussion during the review session and should not to be deemed to have special significance for the in-class final exam. Of course, the general concepts will have to be somewhat relevant/helpful. I have not covered every aspect of the course in the questions and the exam questions may well deal with other topics/models. I have also included solutions, but you should think about the problems first -- the value is in your working on the problems as much as it is seeing the answer. As for the take-home exam, one student inquired whether parts (b), (c), and (d) were separate or cumulative questions in Problem 1-- They are separate such that each change is a change to the original model without other changes. In Problem 2, I refer to "secondary" unit, and by this I meant the Backup instrument. When I ask you to estimate the probabilities (in Problem 2) from "the simulation results only," I intend that you will not derive the theoretical result from probability concepts. --Tom McCullough - E204_Sample Exam Probs.doc - E204_Sample Exam Probs+Solutions.doc ======================================================================= Tom McCullough Senior Lecturer Haas School of Business University of California at Berkeley ========================================================================== =====================================

Best, Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Comnes, Alan Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 5:14 PM To: Etringer, Michael; Calger, Christopher F.; Parquet, David; Fillinger, Mark; Dasovich, Jeff; Mara, Susan Subject: SCE-QF Update I listed in on this afternoon's IEP call re: SCE's MOU. According to Smutney-Jones (who was more than average mad), SCE has reneged on the "pay 10% up front" portion of the deal they struck with SCE. According to IEP, SCE says that the banks, who are spooked by TURN's success in getting a 14-day temporary suspension of the CPUC-SCE settlement, is not interested in allowing SCE to pay any creditors like QFs preferentially. SCE said the 5.37 c/kWh commitment is still there, however. IEP's was also unsuccessful in getting the effective date of 5.37 c/kWh changed in return for the loss of the 10% up front. CCC/Jerry Bloom, who represents gas-fired QFs is seperately negotiating with SCE and may be willing to give up 10% in return for commiting to 5.37c/kwh outside of the CPUC. (They are concerned with CPUC overturning the IEP-SCE "deal.") Several parties on the call, including CalEnergy, indicated they may sue SCE outside the CPUC over reneging on this deal.

Dear fellow green marketer; Has "green marketing" become a conflict of terms in California? It would appear so. I can only speak for myself when I say that the past few years of work, money and time should not be so easily written off. I have been sensing the feelings on Capital Hill and there are a number of legislators very sympathetic to us. If we can start speaking to one another, there may exist an opportunity for support from the state for a) our past efforts, and b) new legislation to keep retail deregulatrion alive (or resuscitate). While we never a very cohesive, unified group during deregulation, it would make sense to present ourselves as a unified group at this juncture. Please contact me and let me know if you have an interest in discussing measures that we would wish the legislature to take on our behalf. There's strength in numbers.

We have contacted the CPUC for their response to our survey update, but their press of business results in no response from them to us. The dramatic changes in California from December 2000 to June 2001 makes it imperative that we have some intelligence on updating the individual attributes. Based on the attached PDF file description of the attributes and the Word document table of characterizations which shows year end 2000 and a blank for May 2001, could you help me by filling in those blanks based on your knowledge of state legislation, CPUC orders or anything else official that has changed the way they implement their electric restructuring plan? I don't expect an answer to the seven survey questions, but feel free to provide your response just for my education. I've sent this request to Commissioner Bilas, who works with Ken, but he couldn't offer any assistance, so I'm relying on the industry to fill in the blanks. If you have any other suggestions of who might be able to respond to this information, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help.

Supply - really four key pieces to the puzzle (1) Streamline Generation Interconnection, (2) Mandatory Electricity Reliability Organization, (3) Public Power Transmission Facilities Fully Under FERC, (4) Complete Open Access - End the Native Load Exception The key theme: Open Access "expands" the available generation and reduces the overall need to build. 2. Demand - Industrial & Commercial Demand Buydown The key theme: Sometimes the cheapest watt is the watt that isn't used. I want to add that I still think that the right message is reliability AND cost savings. In California, the electricity bill could go from $7 billion/year (1999) to $70 billion/year (2001). No matter how big your economy is, there is no way that a price shock of that magnitude won't kill your future growth. KEY PROOF 1. HEPG Presentation Shapiro 2. Natural Gas Analysis Carson 3. Balkanization Analysis Walton/Comnes/Neustaedter 4. AEP Transmission Abuses Novosel 5. FERC Staff Report Anecdotes Novosel 6. TCA Analysis - Price Impact Pickel/Tabors 7. TCA Analysis - Expanding Supply Pickel/Tabors 8. Western Power Market Abuses Dasovich/Comnes I will try and call everyone in the am to discuss. Jim =====================================

However, there has been a lot of press recently in certain areas (such as Arizona and Nevada) still predicting shortages for this summer. Thus, one of the slides addressing the net short issue may be somewhat confusing to those that are familiar with the shortage issue from reading press reports. -----Original Message----- From: Comnes, Alan Sent: Friday, June 01, 2001 10:41 AM To: Steffes, James; Dasovich, Jeff; Thome, Jennifer; Guerrero, Janel; Perrino, Dave; Kaufman, Paul; Alvarez, Ray; Shelk, John; Mara, Susan Subject: Concept Slides Reacting to Latest Push for Price Caps CONFIDENTIAL Yesterday (5/31) Jim Steffes, John Shelk, and I met with Jeff Duncan, a staffer for Congressman Markey (D-MA). Unfortunately, Markey's 80% forward contracting requirement seems to be alive and well. He seems commited to the belief that forcing more 18-month deals will help customers in the current "sellers" market. He specifically asked for information on the amount of forward contracting currently in place. Please review attached slides (the word slides are very rough) and give me feedback as to whether the current market information would effective in either our DC or Califronia legislative. Note that the forward price information is confidential and we need to get clearance before we release.

Subject: Direct Access Petition Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/inbox/270. ===================================== Susan, I am pleased that the PUC demonstrated some level of propriety and common sense by not acting in a retroactive manner on direct access. Accordingly, we are placing our work in abeyance pending further instruction. If any party is interested in litigating further the direct access decision from September 20, it will be necessary to petition for rehearing at the PUC. An aggrieved party will only be able to go to court if the PUC denies the petition for rehearing or upholds its original decision following rehearing. The grounds for judicial review now appear to be limited to (1) denial of procedural due process and (2) PUC conduct contrary to law. This latter argument is based on a statutory duty to hold hearings when deciding whether to change a policy originally decided following hearings. Unlike the problems caused by a retroactive decision, there is probably no basis for a stay pending final decision. The attached petition is the most recent generation and has fairly accurate tables of authorities and content. It does not have the two most recent developments (the statement by the Department of Finance indicating that bonds may not be necessary and the argument that there was a statutory duty to conduct hearings). If this petition is revived, those arguments can be quickly inserted. I have also retained all comments so those will be available if the petition is revived. Best regards, Ed Duncan =====================================

Subject: Re: DRAFT talking points on gas in CA Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/all_documents/12736. ===================================== Leslie, thank you for your comments. From my understanding, we have a need for the following: 1. Talking points directed to a CA audience (similar to the number of "one-pagers" we have already done for CA) 2. Talking points to circulate on the Hill 3. Points to include in a presentation to FERC on the 24th It is not clear to me whether we should produce one document that fills all of these needs or if we need more than one document. Perhaps, as Leslie mentioned in her message below, we should add some FERC-level solutions to this document and use it for several purposes. **If someone has some suggestions about FERC language, please send them to me or call me and I will incorporate them and recirculate the document.** I am re-attaching the draft talking points again, for your reference. Thanks, Jennifer Leslie Lawner 05/17/2001 05:00 PM To: Jennifer Thome/NA/Enron@Enron cc: Subject: Re: DRAFT talking points on gas in CA I guess my only thought is focused on the presentation to FERC on the 24th. The solutions you have identified are all at the state level. Can we put in something to address what the FERC can do? I am not sure what it is, but maybe it would include expeditious approval of projects to and WITHIN California that have been filed with FERC, as opposed to PG&E and SoCalGas projects, which would be within the province of the CPUC. Something to think about. =====================================

Subject: Reporting on CPUC Ability to Change Direct Access Rules Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/deleted_items/405. ===================================== As we discussed in our special call last week, I asked Brian Cragg from Goodin McBride to look into the issue of what, if anything, the CPUC can do in lieu of suspending direct access. ABX 1 says the CPUC "shall suspend" DA, but does not give any time line for doing so, nor any criterita to use in making the determination to suspend it. This gives the CPUC ample ability to delay suspending DA, especially while bills affecting DA are in play in Sacramento. The President could have her own investigation or propose her own solutions -- all the while delaying the suspension. Brian also thought she could possibly put her own DA plan in place -- although he said it was a "stretch." Brian said she could, for example, argue that limiting DA to the net short position was a way of implementing ABX 1. He felt that adding an exit fee as well was , however, stretching the concept a bit too far. Nonethless, limiting DA to a net short position could be argued to be within her existing authority under the law. She could also institute an "open season" through some defined date, such as Jan 1, 2002, and suspend DA thereafter. She could take this action subject to the passage of superceding legislation -- which, of course, could either kill DA altogether or implement some combination of exit fee/DAopen season/DA limitation. Let's discuss strategy on our next call. Sue Mara Enron Corp. Tel: (415) 782-7802 Fax:(415) 782-7854 =====================================

Subject: Peaker Facility We Discussed Last Week Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/sent_items/2257. ===================================== Dan: I wanted to follow up on our discussion last week regarding the peaker we're helping Lodi to develop. The project is a peaker plant inside Lodi's territory, with the power sold to DWR. The deal is both price and time sensitive (no surprise there). Needs to be on line Q3/Q4, 2002, at a price that's in line with price negotiated with DWR. For the gas interconnect, your folks tell us that the project requires $8-$11 MM in system upgrades that will take 14-16 months to complete. By contrast, the project could connect directly to Lodi's gas storage facility for about $2.6 MM and could be completed in about 4-6 months. In short, PG&E's offers blows through both the time and price constraints; the Lodi option accommodates both very well. We are very senstive to the tariff revenues you would forgo via a direct connect to Lodi and potential concerns regarding precedent over connecting directly to the storage facility. Therefore, 1) we'd be willing to pay the local distribution tariff price, irrespective of being connected directly to the Lodi facility, 2) we'd be willing to switch over and connect with PG&E once the upgrades in the Lodi/Stockton area are done, and 3) we'd agree that the direct connection with Lodi should be viewed as a "special case" (and not precendent) with the goal of avoiding exacerbating California's problems with supply shortages. Thanks for listening. Let me know what you think. Best, Jeff =====================================

Subject: Faculty Evaluations Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/notes_inbox/3798. ===================================== Hi Everyone, I thought it would be helpful to you, in filling out the faculty evaluations that are quickly coming up, if I explained a bit further how the administration views the quantitative rankings you give to instructors. Specifically, there are two questions at the end of the evaluation form that ask you about the teaching effectiveness of the instructor and whether you would recommend the instructor to a friend. You are asked to answer these two questions on a scale from 1 - 7, with 1 being "Not at all effective" and 7 being "Extremely effective." As viewed by the administration, a median score of 5 or above is considered acceptable. While we would love to have everyone earning a 6, this is quite difficult to accomplish! Scores below 5 are taken very seriously. In the case of a visitor earning below a 5.0, he or she is given one more semester to improve their teaching. If in the next semester the instructor does not improve (earn a 5.0 or above), it is unlikely he or she will be rehired. In the case of a regular faculty member earning below a 5.0, the administration works with him or her on a plan to improve his or her teaching. In some cases, the instructor may not be allowed to teach the course again. Please be sure to utilize the full range of the evaluation scale so that we can continue to reward those faculty members who are doing a great job and work with those who need improvement. Cheers, Diane =====================================

Subject: Re: Documents for your review Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/deleted_items/674. ===================================== Only couple brief comments on the version that includes Edison's comments: Under the definition of "Spot Market Service" it now reads: This service is available for Large Customers and Medium Customers whose service from a Direct Access provider has been interrupted, or who have failed to elect or be deemed to elect either Direct Access, Core Service or Term Service. I don't understand the meaning of the phrase "or be deemed to elect." If inserting the phrase serves an important purpose, then perhaps it's appropriate to leave it in. But we haven't discussed any reason for needing it. As such, given the last-minute nature of the change, it should be deleted. There is one heckuvalot of detail in the rate-related language that Edison provided that we didn't have a chance to discuss in our negotiations. It may turn out that it's all fine, but I frankly haven't haven't had the chance to adequately wrap my meager mind around the language, so I just want to let folks know that many more comments on those pieces may pop up from my end in the near term. Finally, I just want to raise a flag on section 25465 (a) (6) regarding the green portfolio standard. We never discussed/analyzed those additional percentages and consequently we never established a "zone of comfort" around including those numbers. That may become an issue (and may not, just wanted to briefly flag it). Thanks again for all the effort. Best, Jeff =====================================

IEP discussed this concept with FERC Commissioners today and the Commission issued late today an Order Granting Emergency Waiver of QF Regulations for the remainder of this year. This order is attached as part of an additional order by FERC granting the CAISO request for implementation of a $250 "soft cap" plus penalities for failue to respond to CAISO dispatch orders during an emergency. For QFs positioned to take advantage of the FERC Order, IEP suggests (1) procure legal advice because in essense you have an existing contract with the utility, (2) contact your utility/contract holder, and as appropriate move to implement the FERC Order. Your existing bilateral contract with the utility provides for a SRAC based payment mechanism which appears to apply under the FERC Order. Note, however, that the waiver at this time only applies through the end of this year. You may have other options as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: Katie Kaplan <[email protected]> To: Steven Kelly <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 08, 2000 4:47 PM > > > Katie Kaplan > Manager of State Policy Affairs > Independent Energy Producers Association > (916) 448-9499 > > - 12-8-00.wpd - 12-08-00-2.pdf - 12-08-00-3.wpd - ca-relief.pdf =====================================

The decision orders the utilities to stop accepting DASRs for contracts executed after 9.20.01. But astonishingly, the language in the proposed decision states that the Commission will take more time to consider whether the effective date should be pushed back to July 1.

I ask because we have heard about interest in a similar mechanism that was adopted in Australia, in New South Wales. My colleagues in Australia are the main restructuring advisors to the NSW government. Details of this mechanism are in the public domain, i documents available from the NSW Treasury. If they design it properly it is possible that you could still have some form of retail competition, if the hedge moves with the customer. This was a big design issue in Australia. Otherwise, it looks like a political fudge that will stymie the development of the market for years to come.

Staff at the National Grid have been working an interim agreement since the industry was liberalised. They now say the agreement has expired and they are demanding extra payment to continue working the new system. Earlier this week they reverted to pre-February work duties. Most of the approximately 100 staff are represented by MSF and the ESB Officers' Association. In a separate development, the ESBOA has issued notice of industrial action in mid-October unless a 16.5 per cent pay claim is granted.

As we have discussed, I believe the regulatory strategy can be summarized as follows: Support the TURN proposal in order to maintain leverage against PG&E and SCE. We will have to do this strategically to avoid negative consequences. Provide comments on mitigation measures at the CPUC's disposal to mitigate PG&E's and SCE's undercollections on December 31, 2001 in order to make the CPUC comfortable with their decisions. Work with PG&E and SCE on developing a post-freeze solution at the legislature to recover undercollections over a 5 year period in order to facilitate an acceptable solution. Expose the inequities of the rate caps implemented in SDG&E's service territory for small customers in order to avoid a similar transition mechanism in PG&E's and SCE's service territories that might facilitate an end to the rate freeze for all customers prior to December 31, 2001. Watch and prevent adverse changes to how the PX credit is calculated. Roger =====================================

Only thing I'd be prepared for is the following, "OK, Mr. Belden, California's stupid, they did it wrong, and your company told them so right at the outset. Does that give you the right to rob California's consumers and businesses blind?" Regarding the story with Peace quoted saying "we exported our stranded costs out of state." I recall seeing that story on several occasions. Karen, do we have someone who can do a search (lexis/nexis) and find those articles? Shouldn't be too tough.

One of the points that I want to make is that California set up the rules, made a strategic bet to go short, decided to buy all of their power on the spot market, and is now crying that their massive bet didn't work. I remember reading an article in the San Diego Tribune from sometime in 1998 or 1999 with a quote from Steve Peace. Peace talked about how the state of California ripped off a bunch of dumb out of state generators and wisely solved their stranded cost problem. Does anybody remember this article? Does anybody have this article? Is there a service that we can use to find it if we don't have it? Let me know. =====================================

Everyone seems to miss a point I tried to make clear. The collaboration I suggested is not with Haas. Don't mention that name! The collaboration is with IBER and UEI, two research organizations that are not formally connected with any school. Shapiro suggested that they could offer some modest help with resources, and we have to figure out if it's worth asking for any. Maybe if we are planning to keep the "conference fees" for GSPP then it is better not to ask them for any money (and thus keep clear our claim to any fees). Reactions? Monday is Labor Day by the way.

I imagine that TURN's plan only covers small customers because there is obviously not enough capacity for all customers. Whereas, we have seen the utility's attempts to get the assets at below market prices in the past, it looks like TURN may be trying to maneuver to get the assets below market for its customers. This leaves either the C&I or utility shareholders holding the bag for undercollections. I am sure that this is just some posturing, but CLECA/CMTA needs to be on top of this issue so that they don't get stuck. It would be a double whammy for CLECA/CMTA customers, because not only would they see the higher market prices, but would have to bear a burden of undercollections that are not offset by an appropriate valuation of retained assets. We will need Government Affairs to stay on top of this issue for us. Roger =====================================

Subject: Conversation with Fielder of Edison Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/sent_items/2107. ===================================== The call was pretty tough. Quick side bar: Edison is very concerned about TURN getting a stay from the court on the EIX/PUC settlement . At the start of the call, Fielder said that he'd fax me the judge's ruling in the TURN appeal, but based on how the call went, I'm not sure if he'll send it. As we conjectured sometime back, Edison is indeed talking about charging us (through a reduced PX credit) for our "share" of the undercollection. Our "share" would be paid down through a reduction in the PX credit over the life of the settlement (presumably about 2-3 years). In short, with one hand Edison would pay us what they owe us; with the other hand, Edison would take it back. Edison intends (as we conjectured) to base the amount of the undercollection owed by DA customers on the percentage of load they represent (e.g., if DA is (was) 10% of the load, they would pay for 10% of the undercollection). We had a very "animated" discussion that went back and forth for some time. I told him that there's been some gross misunderstanding since his proposal simply doesn't track. Fielder said that they believe their argument is solid. Here's how we left it--he's going to get back to us by COB today or tomorrow and tell us what Edison's calculation is of our "share" of the undercollection. We can discuss further on the call that Wanda's setting up for tomorrow. If you have any questions between now and then, give a holler. Best, Jeff =====================================

Subject: Protecting Our Claim from the PUC' Clutches Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/sent_items/2172. ===================================== Couple thoughts. Understanding that we're really trying to get this thing done and that there's a million different ornaments one could hang on the tree (and bring the thing toppling down), I'll just throw this out for consideration. Seems that as a first-order issue, the judge is either going to approve the settlement or cede to arguments the PUC could make regarding its exclusive ratemaking authority--that is what it is. Assuming that the judge sides in our favor, there remains the chance that the PUC could take the Edison view and charge DA customers for the undercollection, thereby taking back what we achieved in the settlement based on the way our deals are structured with our customers. It would help alot if PG&E took the position at the PUC that (for a variety of reasons) the PUC should NOT tack on DA customers' bills any charges designed to pay down the utilities' undercollection. In a proceeding where Edison and PG&E are on different sides, our chances of prevailing are of course much better. But it likely won't do much good if we have any such deal written explicitly in the settlement document (i.e., PG&E agrees to take our side at the PUC). But if there's any way to do some sort of side deal, outside of the settlement agreement, and if PG&E were amenable, there might be some real value. Again, I know we want to get this thing wrapped up, but thought I'd toss it out there. We can take it or leave it. Best, Jeff =====================================

Subject: Minnesota telecom ruling Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/all_documents/232. ===================================== Scott--give me some guidance on how important or relevent this issue is for us so that I can get a better understanding of what I should/should not being spending time on. The Minnesota PUC ruled yesterday the US West must open/share it's lines with competitors offering digital subscriber line (DSL) high speed interent access. Apparently the order is the first for a state, but I understand that the FCC passed a similiar rule in the last month or so. The Commission also ruled that USWest could charge an additional $6.00 for this access to their lines (in addition to the current rate of $18 that the customer pays) and that the DSL provider had the right to pass that charge on to the customer. The COmmission took a "soft" position on the $6.00, saying that they would review the amount of the charge over the next six months before making a final ruling on that specific issue. I believe that this ruling came about due to an initial complaint by a provider from Colorado. I did not follow this case at all other than occassionally reading something about it. The major reason I did not was that I saw it as a "retail" access issue and I see our video streaming and bandwidth businesses as "wholesale" access/opportunity issues. Certainly we always want to see open access and we want to see competitive parity, but I didn't see that our involvment and/or tracking of this proceeding was of great value. Am I correct? =====================================

Subject: Reporting on CPUC Ability to Change Direct Access Rules Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/notes_inbox/11555. ===================================== As we discussed in our special call last week, I asked Brian Cragg from Goodin McBride to look into the issue of what, if anything, the CPUC can do in lieu of suspending direct access. ABX 1 says the CPUC "shall suspend" DA, but does not give any time line for doing so, nor any criterita to use in making the determination to suspend it. This gives the CPUC ample ability to delay suspending DA, especially while bills affecting DA are in play in Sacramento. The President could have her own investigation or propose her own solutions -- all the while delaying the suspension. Brian also thought she could possibly put her own DA plan in place -- although he said it was a "stretch." Brian said she could, for example, argue that limiting DA to the net short position was a way of implementing ABX 1. He felt that adding an exit fee as well was , however, stretching the concept a bit too far. Nonethless, limiting DA to a net short position could be argued to be within her existing authority under the law. She could also institute an "open season" through some defined date, such as Jan 1, 2002, and suspend DA thereafter. She could take this action subject to the passage of superceding legislation -- which, of course, could either kill DA altogether or implement some combination of exit fee/DAopen season/DA limitation. Let's discuss strategy on our next call. Sue Mara Enron Corp. Tel: (415) 782-7802 Fax:(415) 782-7854 =====================================

I don't understand the meaning of the phrase "or be deemed to elect." If inserting the phrase serves an important purpose, then perhaps it's appropriate to leave it in. But we haven't discussed any reason for needing it. As such, given the last-minute nature of the change, it should be deleted. There is one heckuvalot of detail in the rate-related language that Edison provided that we didn't have a chance to discuss in our negotiations. It may turn out that it's all fine, but I frankly haven't haven't had the chance to adequately wrap my meager mind around the language, so I just want to let folks know that many more comments on those pieces may pop up from my end in the near term. Finally, I just want to raise a flag on section 25465 (a) (6) regarding the green portfolio standard. We never discussed/analyzed those additional percentages and consequently we never established a "zone of comfort" around including those numbers.

Subject: another question Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/all_documents/12080. ===================================== Hi Jeff, ? Did you get my email last week? ? I really hate the fact that questions of fact are so hard to get answered, because nobody seems to be able to answer energy issue questions that aren't tinged with political implications. It seems to me that certain questions ought to be answerable purely on the basis of simple empirical fact. ? For example, in the paper today it says "San Diego Gas & Electric was the first utility to sell its power plants, and under the deregulation law was then freed from the state-imposed rate caps." ? Thus, is the problem with PG&E that it never sold ALL its plants? I know it sold some (the one near us, Moss Landing, is owned by Duke, for example.) So was the sole reason PG&E was unable to raise their rates to meet their costs of buying energy the fact that it hadn't sold all its plants? If so, does that mean, say, if PG&E had kept 1% of its plants, and the other 99% of the power it sold it had to buy on the unregulated wholesale market, it would have been prevented from raising its rates for 100% of the power it sold (or resold)?to its customers? If so, what WAS the percentage of power plants PG&E DIDN'T sell? Did they try to sell these? Were they just unable to find any buyers? You'd think, with the amount of money they claimed to be losing everyday, they could have GIVEN those plants away and made money off the deal. What is wrong with my understanding here? ?

Subject: Kern River Expansion Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/all_documents/10087. ===================================== The order that FERC issued last Wednesday regarding the western electric markets1 contains some provisions that would seem to indicate a favorable response at FERC to Kern River's open season last week. Specifically, the order asks for industry comments on proposals (1) offering blanket certificates for construction or acquisition and operation of portable compressor stations to enhance pipeline capacity to California and (2) offering rate incentives to expedite construction of projects that will make additional capacity available this summer on constrained pipeline systems. As to the in-state problems, FERC also recognized that "actions the Commission takes to expedite new capacity for gas to serve California and the West may only be effective to the extent there is available local distribution capacity to deliver gas downstream of the interstate pipeline. The availability of sufficient local take-away capacity, however, is a matter that is within the control fo the states rather than of this Commission." FERC asks that the pipelines coordinate their efforts with LDCs, utilities and state officials so that any additional gas would get to all entities that need the gas supply. 1 Order Removing Obstacles to Increased Electric Generation and Natural Gas Supply in the Western United States and Requesting Comments on Further Actions to Increase Energy Supply and Decrease Energy Consumption, Docket No. EL01-47-000. =====================================

California's big mistake was replacing one monopoly--the utility---with another--the PX. PX's are not necessarily bad things. But PXs with a monopoly is a very bad thing. Forcing the IOUS to buy everything from the PX was irresponsible. "Put everyone on a variable rate mortgage" story. Decision makers openly admitted that they put in place a strucuture designed NOT to encourage retail choice and competition. Decision makers actively urged families and businesses NOT to switch to providers offering an "insurance policy" (i.e., fixed price deals) against the volatile and risky power exchange price. When you combine the supply shortage, the PX monopoly, the nonexistant retail market and decision makers' attempts to discourage choice, you get a debacle--that's what California set itself up for, and that's what it got. Putting the PX inside the ISO will only infect the wound that's already been inflicted. The real answer is....(we've developed these points already). This is quick and dirty and can be made much more punchy and articulate, but wanted to get the notion out there given our time constraints. Best, Jeff =====================================

The meeting can largely be summarized by the CEC presentation. I'll have Joseph email it to you. In a nut shell, there's more interstate pipeline coming to the California border than there is INTRAstate capacity to take it from the California border to the consumer/business. The CEC's forecasts show that things will be tight in California. The thrust of the workshop is that, just like power plants, intrastate pipeline capapcity is lagging demand in California and California needs to make a concerted effort at revitalizing the in-state gas infrastructure and do it quickly. Hope this is helpful, and again, sorry for the delay. Best, Jeff Joseph Alamo 05/29/2001 12:01 PM To: Jeff Dasovich/NA/Enron cc: Subject: Still nothing on the gas meeting?

I think this is a good one for our state coalition. Regards. INTERNET LOUISIANA ISPs would need permits under bill Rep. Matthew (Pete) Schneider III (R., District 90) has prefiled a bill to require the Public Service Commission to issue permits to Internet service providers (ISPs). HB 355 also would prohibit ISPs from issuing preprinted solicitation checks to entice customers to enter into an agreement with the ISP unless that ISP had a permit. HB 355 would prohibit local exchange carriers (LECs) and interexchange carriers (IXCs) from allowing an ISP without a permit to provide Internet access to a telephone subscriber in the state. The bill also would bar banks from cashing any preprinted solicitation checks issued by an ISP without a permit. The bill would fine the LECs, IXCs, and banks $500 if they violated the measure. Those entities would have to keep track of permitted ISPs through a list compiled by the commission. HB 355 would require out-of-state ISPs to maintain a $10,000 surety bond in the state to be permitted to provide Internet access to Louisiana residents. The PSC would be able to waive the bond requirement for any provider demonstrating financial responsibility by submitting a letter of credit from an accredited financial institution. The bill would authorize the commission to set a fee for obtaining and renewing the permit. The permit would need to be renewed annually. =====================================

The ISO contracted with MCI (a couple of years ago) to build a broad band network ( OC-48) to support electricity deregulation in California. (Friends of mine at MCI worked on the deal.) Since that time, the ISO has discovered that it has capacity substantially in excess of what it needs to operate the grid (and certain markets for power, e.g., ancillary services). The ISO is none to happy about having been sold an "overbuild" network by MCI. But given MCI's reputation, the ISO is looking at marketing the capacity rather than trying to re-negotiate the contract with MCI. Sounds like the capacity runs between Sacramento (Folsom?) and Southern California (Alhambra?). Could be an opportunity for ECI to get some quality capacity at a substantial discount. I've let Tom Gros know about it, too (bandwidth trading opportunity?). Please pass along to ECI folks for their assessment. Best, Jeff =====================================

Thanks for the note, and thank you for doing such a good job at driving this process. My thoughts on your proposal (and these are very preliminary): 1) politicians may not be willing to go as high as 25% for fear of being accused of a "utility bailout"--maybe 10-15%? though utility solvency may force their hands. 2) TURN will go ape-#%#$ if we make the "roll off" retroactive to October. 3) I'm willing to allow utilities to collect TRA undercollections, but feel that customers and utilities (not me) need to figure out precisely what that number is. Look forward to getting closure tomorrow, though I'm very concerned that we've lost Edison, given Bryson's public calls to return to 1950.

Subject: IEP Info on Industry Meeting with Rod Wright Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/sent/826. ===================================== 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 the fact that it's already successfully in use on the gas side--during a panel discussion that I participated in yesterday at the California Energy Markets conference.) The utilities told Rod Wright that they did not want, nor did they have the expertise, to get back into the generation business. =====================================

Extreme rhetoric likely from Ms Lynch, CPUC Prez, UCAN and Sempra chief (Steve Baum). Rest of panel looking pretty good. Might be useful to let Smutney do at least the lion's share of the "responding" to Ms Lynch's and Mr. Baum's rabid attacks on generators. Smutney's had a lot of practice in the last couple of months and he's close to the issue. But, of course, a few well placed jabs, couldn't hurt....

Subject: RE: Socalgas Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/sent_items/764. ===================================== You know what is more recently? Reason I ask is that in the past, when volumes have been low, SoCal's had to "prop up" flows, i.e., keep a minimum at Blythe for "operational reasons" to serve San Diego (they said). So (just to give them the benefit of the doubt), I was wondering if there might be something to that recently. Pure speculation, but wondering if you had any info. Because I certainly can't think of ANY other reason for their behavior. I'm calling another PUC staffer today to discuss. In the meantime, are we continuing to make the request to SoCal for service? Might be a good idea to keep doing that. Best, Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Lindberg, Lorraine Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 8:31 AM To: Dasovich, Jeff Subject: RE: Socalgas Hi Jeff - Throughput to Blythe has been averaging about 84% this year with peak flows of 99% in Jan and March.

Please let me know if these documents need to go to anyone else at Enron. You had also indicated you wanted more information on "costs" for the next EBS (or ETI) states of Washington and Oregon (and Utah). The state filing fees should not be overly significant, and we can provide specific numbers - though if by "costs" you refer to legal fees, perhaps Steve can best address that area. You can expect, fortunately or unfortunately, somewhat similar paper processes for Wa, Or, and Ut as was done in CA. There will necessarily be issues that Enron will want to first discuss internally, such as disclosure of requested financial info. for Wa, before any filing. We can send you the forms for each state so you get a feel for what is required, or we can capsulize them in a Memo, and/or schedule a call with Steve and Anita to go over specific EBS concerns. Let me know your preference. To also confirm, you indicated WA as the first priority state, with Scott overseeing. We are otherwise proceeding as planned.

Jimmie and I duplicated effort just a bit. Attached is the memo and the spreadsheet. Note that in the memo, we have a dispute about whether $750k is adequate. Therefore, I've left questions 4 and 5 attached to the memo for you folks to reconcile (if they take advantage of discounts and get A/R and inventory rates back in line with '93 rates, is $750 enough?). Also, I've included a common-size income statement in exhibit 1, a cash flow statement in exhibit 2, and I, too, completed exhibit 3. We may want to clean up some of the calculations in the spreadsheet, given that we'll likely need to turn them in as attachments. Hope this helps. I'd do more, but I'm off for the airport and New York--won't be in class tomorrow.

Whoever calculated ROA forgot to add interest expense and used year end assets instead of average. For ROCE again, average instead of ending should be used. The level of current liabilities jumps out when you compare it to the rest of the industry. Dylan is right the growth in inventory is also alarming. I will look at the data some more tomorrow.

There is no denying the power of good public relations to launch a company from the ground up, build the brand and support a company's business and marketing plans over time. But in today's fast-moving economy, clutter abounds. News about a company is often ignored if it doesn't have a big number attached to it, tell a bigger story or have a unique twist. Editors and writers filter out pitches and releases that sound alike. How to break through the clutter? In this talk, we will review the nine easy ways to kill a startup with PR, see "worst of PR" examples the media hate and learn a few secrets of proper positioning -- methods companies have used to make a difference with intelligence and personality. ******************************************************************* Serena Joe, Program Assistant Institute of Management, Innovation and Organization Room 402 Haas School of Business #1930 Berkeley, CA 94720-1930 Tel #: (510) 643-4096 Fax #: (510) 642-2826 =====================================

When you say tenor, do you also want to try to estimate the balancing account as well or use the SDG&E estimates? Also, what is your time frame?

To that end we just sent a letter to the D's saying, essentially, "we're giving the money we thought we were going to give you to the N.Y. Disaster Relief fund." Prior to the "no more money" decision, we also concluded that it made no sense to give individual donations. So ... the following should a letter similar to the following should work: "Thank you for your kind invitation to participate in your October 24 reception. Earlier this year, we made a corporate decision to direct our campaign dollars in California to the California Republican Party and not participate in individual races."

Things, as you know, are, well, a little nuts. It was great to meet you and I would be happy to discuss opportunities. I need to be in S.D. in the next few weeks. Perhaps we could have lunch, or something, and you could fill me in on what you folks do. Best, Jeff Dana Perino <[email protected]> 09/14/2000 06:40 PM To: [email protected] cc: Subject: Greetings from San Diego Hi, Jeff -- It was great to meet you this week while you were in San Diego for the hearings. Cathy Van Way and I had a blast catching up on old times and trying to think of every pun possible that led directly back to electricity. I know Enron has extensive communications support, but in the future if you have need on a project or public relations campaign, I hope you'll keep me in mind. Although it took me a while to understand the difference between a megawatt and a megaphone before Rep. Schaefer introduced the first bill, once I finally "got it" I developed an ability to help the media understand the issue -- so that misinformation, as experienced in San Diego -- can be avoided. I've also maintained excellent contacts with the media covering electricity and can help with corporate pr as well as issue communications. As you're well aware, the light won't go out on this issue for a long time (pun practice). Best regards, Dana Dana Perino [email protected] 619-234-1300 ext. 238 =====================================

Subject: California Regulators Delay Vote on Power Revenue Requirements Sender: [email protected] Recipients: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]'] File: dasovich-j/deleted_items/221. ===================================== FYI California Regulators Delay Vote on Power Revenue Requirements By Daniel Taub San Francisco, Aug. 21 (Bloomberg) -- California regulators will delay voting on a plan to carve out a portion of utility rates for state power purchases, a spokesman for Governor Gray Davis said. The vote is a necessary step in the state's plan to sell as much as $13.4 billion in bonds. The California Public Utilities Commission was scheduled to vote on the plan on Thursday. The commission will postpone the decision until its next meeting on Sept. 6 for ``largely procedural reasons,'' Davis spokesman Steve Maviglio said. California has spent more than $9.6 billion buying power on behalf of its three investor-owned utilities. The state entered the power-buying business in January after the two largest utilities, owned by PG&E Corp. and Edison International, became insolvent buying power for more than they were allowed to charge customers. The state is preparing to sell the bonds in the largest U.S. municipal offering to repay California's general fund for the power purchases. The bonds will be repaid through the rates utility customers pay. The Public Utilities Commission must approve a plan for allocating a portion of rates to the state before the bonds can be sold. Public Utilities Commission President Loretta Lynch wasn't immediately available for comment on the delay, said commission spokeswoman Carol Robinson. Lynch was appointed to the commission by Governor Davis. =====================================

The servers affected will include the NT web server WEB, the file servers HCS-DATA and HCS-DATA2, the logon profile server HCS-MASTER, the personal web site servers FACULTY and STUDENTS, and several other non critical servers. Most of the outages will be of short (30 minutes or less) duration. When WEB is down, web access to all NT based Web sites, including the EDULINK Career Services, Registration, and Admissions modules, Reserve, Event Center, group sites, course sites, and Helpdesk will be interrupted. While FACULTY and STUDENTS are being rebooted, personal web sites will not be available. While HCS-DATA , HCS-DATA2, and HCS-MASTER, are down, logon to the Haas NT domain will be very slow, and roaming profiles and home directories will not be available. Email should not be affected. As always, should you experience any problems with computing services following the maintenance, please contact the information desk in the Computer Center, or Helpdesk at http://helpdesk.haas.berkeley.edu, phone 510/642-0434. Please note that Helpdesk is not manned on weekends. Requests for help logged during the weekend will be responded to Monday morning. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

Haven't had a chance to totally absorb it (yes, it is crazy), but will do so this afternoon. Keeping my fingers crossed. Best! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2000 12:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Quick Update Hi Kari: I know that you and I are both swamped, so I'm writing very briefly to give you a brief update. But first, thank you very much again for meeting last week. Greatly appreciated, and look forward to working together to help in any way I can to find solution that is acceptable to all. Here's the update: Our "subcommitte" is meeting tomorrow to try to close the deal on a proposed solution. It focuses on 3 key areas: Using the utilities retained assets to moderate prices. Designing a framework for forward contracting that strikes a much more appropriate balance in CA between state oversight and the need for utility flexibility. Rate stabilization/Undercollections (utility solvency) I will update you tomorrow on the group's progress. If thing's go according to plan, we may be in a position to submit something to you a early as Monday. If there's a deadline from your end that I ought to be aware of, let me know and I'll incorporate it into the subcommittee's work plan. In the meantime, if there is anything at all that I can do to help, please don't hesitiate to contact me. Thanks again and all the best, Jeff =====================================
