Hadn't really thought about that. In each contract, counterparty reps and warrants that it physically handles each commodity on which an option is traded (tracking "trade option" regulatory language), and all r&w's are deemed repeated each time a new transaction is entered into. The law requires that on offeror have a "reasonable basis" to believe that offeree is physically handling, so traders/marketers in the ag area must be trained to not ignore obvious indications that an ag counterparty is no longer in the business of physically moving a given ag commodity. Such indications should be reported to legal department. This will be of heightened concern in the ag area. With other commodities, if the counterparty doesn't handle, or stops handling the commodity, we can always argue that we are the "offeree" and we are physically handling. Until we are physically handling ag commodities, though, we will always have to rely on the counterparty being a physical merchant in order to trade options Robert E.

Wednesday March 14, 12:22 pm Eastern Time US Senate rejects California utility bankruptcy measure By Patrick Connole WASHINGTON, March 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate on Wednesday rejected a bid to force California utility companies to repay power generators for electricity they bought under a federal government sales order, even if utilities go bankrupt. In a motion on the Senate floor, lawmakers killed an amendment to a broader bankruptcy reform bill that opponents said was a dangerous proposal that would have opened the door to involuntary bankruptcy filings by troubled California utilities. The utilities in question are PG&E Corp.'s (NYSE:PCG - news) Pacific Gas & Electric and Edison International's (NYSE:EIX - news) Southern California Edison. The amendment was sponsored by Oregon Democrat Sen. Ron Wyden, Montana Democrat Sen. Max Baucus and Oregon Republican Sen. Gordon Smith. Proponents said the measure would have protected the customers of the federally-owned Bonneville Power Administration and other Northwest utilities from unfair rate increases due to the California energy crisis. ``I don't think it's fair for consumers in other Western states to get caught holding the bag if California utilities take our power and then run into bankruptcy court to avoid their debts,'' Wyden said. ``The Northwest has been more than a good neighbor to California during this crisis,'' he said. Interestingly, the California Senate delegation was split on the matter. Democrat Dianne Feinstein opposed the amendment, while fellow Democrat Barbara Boxer supported it. Feinstein called the proposal a ``dangerous amendment'' that would create two classes of creditors and ``probably force an involuntary bankruptcy.'' The broader bankruptcy reform bill is expected to be approved by the Senate by the end of the week. Separately, talks between California and its three investor owned utilities on a deal under which the state might buy their transmission assets continued this week with no deal in sight. The state is negotiating with PG&E and Edison, along with Sempra Energy (NYSE:SRE - news) unit San Diego Gas and Electric. The deals are aimed mainly at pumping money into PG&E and SoCal Edison to keep them out of bankruptcy after they recorded about $13 billion in red ink since last spring, paying sky-high prices for power in the wholesale market. PG&E and SoCal Edison, under the terms of the state's disastrous experiment with market deregulation, have been able to pass on to their retail customers only a fraction of their power purchase costs.

(FDIC) insures our=20 traditional checking, savings and money market accounts (as well=20 as CDs) held at banks and thrifts for up to $100,000.

A call gives you the=20 right to buy a set amount of shares at a set price within a=20 certain period of time (often just a few months). For this=20 right, you pay a price premium. Puts are similar, but give you=20 the right to sell shares.=20 If Legume is selling for $50 per share and you expect it to=20 rise, you could buy "October $55" call options for it. Let's say=20 you snap up calls to buy 100 shares, for $6 each, or a total of=20 $600. If just before your options expire Legume is selling for=20 $65 per share, you can exercise your options and buy 100 shares=20 for $5,500. Then you can keep them or sell them for $6,500.=20 If you sell, you make a $1,000 profit, right? Nope. You paid=20 $600, remember? So your profit is down to $400 -- less, when you=20 account for trading commissions.=20 Options are risky. If Legume stays at $55 or falls, your $600=20 would be entirely lost. It has to top $61 per share -- $55 plus=20 $6 -- by October for you to profit.=20 Some folks like options because of the leverage they offer. They=20 point out that if you only have $1,000, you can only buy 20=20 shares of a $50 stock. Alternatively, that $1,000 could buy many=20 more options tied to hundreds of shares of stock.

Olympian Status for U.S. Gas Market Just so you'll know: "The natural gas market is a real success story. ...FERC has gotten an enormous amount of things right. The market may not be unblemished, but there are lots who consider the natural gas market the best market in the world offering genuine price discovery on a daily basis across dozens of products. It's something everyone should be proud of," Robert Levin of the New York Mercantile Exchange told a FERC conference yesterday. "The natural gas market has performed remarkably admirably through a range of market conditions with hundreds, if not thousands of market participants, using an extraordinary selection of market instruments," Levin continued, adding that the Commission should be supporting the "growth and increased sophistication of commerce. You're at that point now." Warning against so-called solutions offered by some at the day-long conference to increase liquidity or tie the natural gas market to the electric market, Levin cautioned, "liquidity cannot be legislated. Don't overreact. The electric market is poorly regulated. Remedies from the natural gas market should be transferred to the electric market, rather than allow the gas market to be corrupted by the regulatory mistakes of the electric market. "Rather than worry over regulating an hourly market for natural gas, change the electric market," which Levin believes has developed its over-emphasis on the hourly market because of the artificial tilt toward the spot market. But while Levin warned against too much market meddling, others among the more than 30 representatives of the industry and its customers testifying at FERC's conference on competitive natural gas markets argued for a variety of initiatives to increase market liquidity by changing the rules for pipeline transportation. Eliminating the shipper-must-have-title rule, promoting expansion of the existing pipeline infrastructure (especially in the Northeast), doing away with straight-fix-variable (SFV) rate design, review of firm-to-wellhead rates in the production region and the allocation of transportation costs between the upstream and downstream were among the chief proposals proffered by mostly pipeline customers. However, greater gas market liquidity shouldn't be confused with increased competition in pipeline transportation, municipals and producers told FERC staff during a post-Order 637 technical conference Wednesday. "...[W]e're concerned the Commission may be equating market liquidity with competition in pipeline transportation. The two are not the same," said Arthur Corbin on behalf of the American Public Gas Association (APGA), which represents municipal gas distributors. "Even with greater and greater market liquidity, monopoly power exists in [the] pipeline transportation segment. Captive shippers will always require a regulated transportation service from any hub to their citygate," he said. Much the same holds true for LDCs, noted Bruce Henning, director of energy practices for Energy and Environmental Analysis Inc. (EEA), who represented the American Gas Association (AGA) at the Commission staff conference. He agreed market liquidity has improved immeasurably, but he added "there's not a liquid market center at every pipeline receipt or delivery point location. Nor is there likely to be market centers in all of these locations in the near future..." Consequently, Henning said FERC will need to continue to protect producers from market power that accompanies "limited access" to pipelines. The day-long conference held yesterday in Washington D.C. was the first of several that FERC staff plans to hold to explore the impact of the Commission's transportation policies on the development of gas markets. Christopher A. Helms, president and COO of Panhandle Pipeline Companies, urged FERC not to enact policy changes that would place commodity market liquidity as the "ultimate goal" at the expense of the transportation market. Helms said he advocated policies encouraging pipeline expansions and construction of "optimal amounts of additional capacity" to meet the needs of the market. "The single most important characteristic for liquidity in the natural gas commodity markets is the availability of adequate transportation capacity." Charles Daverio, vice president of KeySpan Corp., echoed that sentiment, saying FERC could increase liquidity in the New York City market and elsewhere in the Northeast by promoting construction of new pipeline capacity to ensure adequate supplies for the region year-round. This would reduce energy costs and enhance reliability, he noted. Panhandle's Helms also cautioned against policy changes that would force the development of new market centers and hubs. Market centers should be allowed to develop at their "own pace," and at locations where the market "sees fit," he said. EEA's Henning estimated more than 40 "liquid and transparent" market centers exist today, which permit industry participants to buy and sell gas daily under "extremely competitive" conditions. He said he's "confident" more will be added because of the options that they provide to gas customers. As another way to enhance liquidity, KeySpan's Daverio --- as well as others --- supported eliminating the shipper-must-have-title rule, which requires the customer to retain title to the gas while it's being shipped. Doing away with the rule would pave the way for the development of new pipeline products and services, such as operational balancing and virtual storage, he told the FERC staff. But Dena Wiggins, an attorney with the D.C. law firm of Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan LLP, which represents the Process Gas Consumers Group (industrial gas customers), said her group was "very concerned" about efforts to repeal the rule. "...I haven't heard anything yet [today] that satisfies the concerns that we might have." She noted the Commission already has granted exceptions to the shipper-must-have-title rule in certain cases, and should continue with this policy where necessary. Moreover, Wiggins said industrial customers were increasingly worried about the mounting market power of unregulated companies, especially gas marketers. At the conference, she also expressed her group's dismay with the pipeline compliance filings with Order 637, particularly on the penalty issue. Rather than an "improved" penalty structure, pipelines are proposing higher penalties, Wiggins said. "[We] continue to be shocked at the absolute wholesale departures" from 637. BP's Jeff Holligan also waded into the fight against all the new services outlined by pipelines in their Order 637 filings, which he said were "nothing more than penalties disguised as balancing services that customers can't refuse." He urged the Commission to check with a pipeline's customers, noting one proposed new "service" is opposed by 100% of the pipeline's non-affiliated customers. Some of the proposed services, Holligan said, add up to nothing more than degradation of existing long-term firm service. Holligan, representing the largest producer in the U.S. and Canada, joined other market participants in urging adoption of "standardized allocation (sales), standardized penalty levels, and the requirement that all pipelines implement a uniform title transfer tracking process." In short, "standardizing pipeline services, certainly on an individual pipeline, and also to a large extent between and across pipelines is imperative if markets are to be highly liquid..Individually negotiated services, where every service is a different service, or the adoption of a so-called dual track market, are the antithesis of a highly liquid, efficient and competitive gas market. Standardization of operational terms of pipeline service is necessary to facilitate trading through e-commerce." "The Commission should be striving to commoditize pipeline capacity so it can be traded along with gas electronically," Holligan said.

I called him at home last night. His absence from the office this week was somewhat unplanned. He is at home with his kids as his mother inlaw is taking a break for the week (remember, he has four kids, including a two-month old baby and his son Erik who has had a variety of health problems). He is planning on coming in at the end of the week to interview some internal people for a job on the services desk. I agree that it looks like he is out of here, but he gave me no indication. I think that we should sit tight for a few days. I will know when he's coming in to do the services interviews. Perhaps Amy should have a conversation with him at that time.

I am reading your mail, I have asked for the same thing regarding my base. Especially since I came up here with a base salary converted at 1.48 CDN/USD and with no raise since being here at 1.61 CDN/USD I have received a 9% pay cut relative to my peers in Houston. Not to mention that my base salary is $50-$100 USD/year lower than what other shops are offering. However, after three attempts, I have been unsuccessful in championing my own cause. -----Original Message----- From: Lambie, Chris Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 1:51 PM To: Zufferli, John Subject: Zuff Just a quick note after my first look at the numbers. The only concern I have is with the base number. Seeing as there is no money up front, the future payments look a lot more like long term comp. than any real signing or retention bonus. When I came to Enron two years ago I took a $35,000 decrease in base pay in exchange for options and the opportunity to trade for number 1. That is no longer the case (no options and UBS is not #1) therefore I would look for my base to better reflect market on a go forward basis. If you are able to accommodate a reasonable adjustment in base I would be very excited about the opportunity to sign with UBS. I would like to talk about this on Monday, after I have had a chance to look at the paper in full. Chris.

A couple of additional thoughts on this morning's conversation: 1. if we really think the next 6 or 8 months will sort out the takeaway and receipt point capacity issues, why not bet the whole farm and try to hold onto the whole 150 mm/d until next winter or fall and see if the perceived value goes up? We could tell Calpine "no" on their bid and hold them off for several months "negotiating" if that's what we thought would lead to the best value. I don't personally think this would be a prudent approach, but its where our logic leads in the extreme, so we'd better be prepared to explain why getting the bird in the hand from Calpine is smart. 2. We'll research the question of whether we can reject any recourse bids that come in over the next 6-8 months if we decide to hold onto the 60 mm/d for awhile. I've thought about it a bit more and I'm pretty sure you're not going to like the answer. First, FERC says we've got to have a recourse rate in place for all capacity, new or old. One reason is that there needs to be a max rate that applies to long term capacity releases. We have the option on new projects to go with the existing max tariff rate or a new incrementally designed rate. We are going with the existing tariff rate on RedRock. Fine, but that makes the existing rate the recourse rate for all purposes. FERC's logic will be that TW could sell all of the RedRock capacity at recourse rates (currently $.38) and never suffer a revenue shortfall even if future rate cases reduce TW's overall rates, because the costs of all TW's facilities--including the new project--will be considered in the next rate case. Think about it--our rates will only go down in the future if the ENTIRE cost of service goes down. We'd never "lose money" on RedRock, but we might not make as much as we could have made with an 15 year fixed $.38 negotiated rate. There is another approach. We could have Mavrix submit a binding bid right now for the 60 mm/d and just flat out sell it to them. That would send a pretty strong signal to the market that we are serious about deadlines. The downside of that aggressive approach is that it would get us into the same mess that El Paso finally got themselves out of, with Amoco, Dynegy and the whole gang beating the crap out of us. I'm not to fired up about this approach for that reason. I'll give you a call Monday after I've picked our best regulatory brains on these issues. DF

Ken I wanted to let you know that I visited Philippe Bibi last Thursday to debrief on this loss and also to listen to a number of other points he raised that could improve the the way we work together. Philippe was very helpful and very direct - which I appreciate. Some of the reasons we lost this bid is that we failed to execute the sales process as I would expect us to. This is not typical of the way we should now work and we have made changes to account management and service representation. We have made enormous progress as a Corporation over the last twelve months. There is a lot of good news in many accounts around the world but there is also no complacency and it concerns me a great deal when we have less than perfect execution. I shall be following up with Philippe and the account team to ensure we do a great job in the future.

Dear You Love, Continental Airlines is committed to meeting new federal requirements regarding checked baggage and airport security fees. In an effort to keep you informed, below are the most recent changes that will affect your travel: POSITIVE BAG MATCH Effective January 18, 2002 the Federal Aviation Administration will require a positive bag match for travel within the U.S., its territories and commonwealths. Bags cannot be transported on the aircraft without confirmation that the customer has boarded the aircraft. DOMESTIC CHECK-IN/ARRIVAL TIME To ensure compliance with the Positive Bag Match policy without delays or inconvenience, Continental Airlines has changed the boarding time for domestic flights for tickets purchased on or after January 18, 2002. Customers checking baggage must do so at least 30 minutes prior to departure. All customers must be checked in and at the boarding gate no later than 15 minutes prior to scheduled departure. Customers who buy tickets on or after January 18, 2002 who are not at the boarding gate 15 minutes prior to departure are subject to having their reservations canceled, seats released and checked baggage removed from the flight. SECURITY FEE The Transportation Security Administration is requiring that airlines collect the September 11th Security Fee of $2.50 per enplanement, not to exceed $5.00 each way or $10.00 per round-trip ticket. This security fee goes into effect for tickets purchased on or after February 1, 2002. It applies to qualifying enplanements from airports in the U.S., its territories and commonwealths. This fee applies to all tickets including frequent flyer reward tickets, two-for-one tickets, tour conductors and infants for whom a fare has been collected. Continental Airlines continues to make safety our number one priority.

MEMORANDUM TO: State Issues Committee FROM: Jane Cahill, State Issues Committee Chair Samantha Slater, Manager of State & Regional Affairs DATE: March 7, 2001 RE: FTC Request for Comments on Retail Electricity Competition Plans ? Comments Due April 3, 2001 ? Conference Call on Friday, March 16th at 11:00 a.m. EST On February 28, 2001, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a request for information regarding the outcome to date of the different regulatory and legislative approaches states have taken to the introduction of retail electric competition. To discuss the Commission's notice and the direction of EPSA's comments in response to the notice, we have scheduled a conference call for Friday, March 16th at 11:00 a.m. (EST). The FTC's notice was issued at the request of the Chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, Billy Tauzin, and the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality, Joe Barton. To comply with the request, the Commission will update its July 2000 staff report Competition and Consumer Protection Perspectives on Electric Power Regulatory Reform. The FTC will examine various state retail competition programs and determine which features have resulted in consumer benefits, and which have not. In particular, the Commission is interested in information about market responses to various provisions of state retail competition plants. In addition, the Commission will also consider possible jurisdictional limitations on the states' authority to implement retail competition programs and whether there is a need for federal legislative or regulatory action. A copy of the FTC's notice is attached. To access the March 16th conference call at 11:00 a.m. (EST), please dial 1-800-937-6563 and ask for the EPSA/Samantha Slater Call. In the meantime, if you have any questions or comments please contact Samantha Slater at 202-789-7200 or sslater@epsa.org. The FTC's notice represents an important and unique opportunity for EPSA members to discuss what is working and what is not in retail markets today. We encourage as many member companies as possible to submit comments. Also during this conference call, we will discuss what role, if any, EPSA should play in states that have already opened their markets to retail choice, such as Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Illinois.

Prophets from the Old and New Testaments, a couple of Christian saints, generals of various nationalities and different centuries, several kings, three American presidents, a French cardinal and two geniuses, including Michelangelo. If you want the ceiling re-painted I'll do my best. There always seem to be a lot of different fellows up here. I'm never sure which one of them gets to talk. Right now, I guess I'm the guy. As I pondered our visit tonight it struck me: If my creator gave me the gift to connect you with the hearts and minds of those great men, then I want to use that same gift now to re-connect you with your own sense of liberty ... your own freedom of thought ... your own compass for what is right. Dedicating the memorial at Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln said of America, "We are now engaged in a great Civil War, testing whether this nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure." Those words are true again. I believe that we are again engaged in a great civil war, a cultural war that's about to hijack your birthright to think and say what resides in your heart. I fear you no longer trust the pulsing lifeblood of liberty inside you ... the stuff that made this country rise from wilderness into the miracle that it is. Let me back up. About a year ago I became president of the National Rifle Association, which protects the right to keep and bear arms. I ran for office, I was elected, and now I serve ... I serve as a moving target for the media who've called me everything from "ridiculous" and "duped" to a "brain-injured, senile, crazy old man." I know ... I'm pretty old ... but I sure thank the Lord ain't senile. As I have stood in the crosshairs of those who target Second Amendment freedoms, I've realized that firearms are not the only issue. No, it's much, much bigger than that. I've come to understand that a cultural war is raging across our land, in which, with Orwellian fervor, certain acceptable thoughts and speech are mandated. For example, I marched for civil rights with Dr. King in 1963 -- long before Hollywood found it fashionable. But when I told an audience last year that white pride is just as valid as black pride or red pride or anyone else's pride, they called me a racist. I've worked with brilliantly talented homosexuals all my life. But when I told an audience that gay rights should extend no further than your rights or my rights, I was called a homophobe. I served in World War II against the Axis powers. But during a speech, when I drew an analogy between singling out innocent Jews and singling out innocent gun owners, I was called an anti-Semite. Everyone I know knows I would never raise a closed fist against my country. But when I asked an audience to oppose this cultural persecution, I was compared to Timothy McVeigh. >From Time magazine to friends and colleagues, they're essentially saying, "Chuck, how dare you speak your mind. You are using language not authorized for public consumption!" But I am not afraid. If Americans believed in political correctness, we'd still be King George's boys-subjects bound to the British crown. In his book, "The End of Sanity," Martin Gross writes that "blatantly irrational behavior is rapidly being established as the norm in almost every area of human endeavor. There seem to be new customs, new rules, new anti-intellectual theories regularly foisted on us from every direction. Underneath, the nation is roiling. Americans know something, without a name is undermining the nation, turning the mind mushy when it comes to separating truth from falsehood and right from wrong. And they don't like it." Let me read a few examples. At Antioch college in Ohio, young men seeking intimacy with a coed must get verbal permission at each step of the process from kissing to petting to final copulation ... all clearly spelled out in a printed college directive. In New Jersey, despite the death of several patients nationwide who had been infected by dentists who had concealed their AIDS --- the state commissioner announced that health providers who are HIV-positive need not. .. need not ... tell their patients that they are infected. At William and Mary, students tried to change the name of the school team "The Tribe" because it was supposedly insulting to local Indians, only to learn that authentic Virginia chiefs truly like the name. In San Francisco, city fathers passed an ordinance protecting the rights of transvestites to cross-dress on the job, and for transsexuals to have separate toilet facilities while undergoing sex change surgery. In New York City, kids who don't speak a word of Spanish have been placed in bilingual classes to learn their three R's in Spanish solely because their last names sound Hispanic. At the University of Pennsylvania, in a state where thousands died at Gettysburg opposing slavery, the president of that college officially set up segregated dormitory space for black students. Yeah, I know ... that's out of bounds now. Dr. King said "Negroes." Jimmy Baldwin and most of us on the March said "black." But it's a no-no now. For me, hyphenated identities are awkward ... particularly "Native-American." I'm a Native American, for God's sake. I also happen to be a blood-initiated brother of the Miniconjou Sioux. On my wife's side, my grandson is a 13th-generation Native American ... with a capital letter on "American." Finally, just last month ... David Howard, head of the Washington D.C. Office of Public Advocate, used the word "niggardly" while talking to colleagues about budgetary matters. Of course, 'niggardly' means stingy or scanty. But within days Howard was forced to publicly apologize and resign. As columnist Tony Snow wrote: "David Howard got fired because some people in public employ were morons who (a) didn't know the meaning of 'niggardly,' (b) didn't know how to use a dictionary to discover the meaning, and ,actually demanded that he apologize for their ignorance." What does all of this mean? It means that telling us what to think has evolved into telling us what to say, so telling us what to do can't be far behind. Before you claim to be a champion of free thought, tell me: Why did political correctness originate on America's campuses? And why do you continue to tolerate it? Why do you, who're supposed to debate ideas, surrender to their suppression? Let's be honest. Who here thinks your professors can say what they really believe? It scares me to death, and should scare you too, that the superstition of political correctness rules the halls of reason. You are the best and the brightest. You, here in the fertile cradle of American academia, here in the castle of learning on the Charles River, you are the cream. But I submit that you, and your counterparts across the land, are the most socially conformed and politically silenced generation since Concord Bridge. And as long as you validate that ... and abide it ... you are-by your grandfathers' standards-cowards. Here's another example. Right now at more than one major university, Second Amendment scholars and researchers are being told to shut up about their findings or they'll lose their jobs. Why? Because their research findings would undermine big-city mayor's pending lawsuits that seek to extort hundreds of millions of dollars from firearm manufacturers. I don't care what you think about guns. But if you are not shocked at that, I am shocked at you. Who will guard the raw material of unfettered ideas, if not you? Who will defend the core value of academia, if you supposed soldiers of free thought and expression lay down your arms and plead, "Don't shoot me." If you talk about race, it does not make you a racist. If you see distinctions between the genders, it does not make you a sexist. If you think critically about a denomination, it does not make you anti-religion. If you accept but don't celebrate homosexuality, it does not make you a homophobe. Don't let America's universities continue to serve as incubators for this rampant epidemic of new McCarthyism. But what can you do? How can anyone prevail against such pervasive social subjugation? The answer's been here all along. I learned it 36 years ago, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., standing with Dr. Martin Luther King and two hundred thousand people. You simply ... disobey. Peaceably, yes. Respectfully, of course. Nonviolently, absolutely. But when told how to think or what to say or how to behave, we don't. We disobey social protocol that stifles and stigmatizes personal freedom. I learned the awesome power of disobedience from Dr. King ... who learned it from Gandhi, and Thoreau and Jesus and every other great man who led those in the right against those with the might. Disobedience is in our DNA. We feel innate kinship with that Disobedient spirit that tossed tea into Boston Harbor, that sent Thoreau to jail, that refused to sit in the back of the bus, that protested a war in Vietnam. In that same spirit, I am asking you to disavow cultural correctness with massive disobedience of rogue authority, social directives and onerous law that weaken personal freedom. But be careful ... it hurts. Disobedience demands that you put yourself at risk. Dr. King stood on lots of balconies. You must be willing to be humiliated ... to endure the modern-day equivalent of the police dogs at Montgomery and the water Cannons at Selma. You must be willing to experience discomfort. I'm not Complaining, but my own decades of social activism have taken their toll on me. Let me tell you a story. A few years back I heard about a rapper named Ice-T who was selling a CD called "Cop Killer" celebrating ambushing and murdering police officers. It was being marketed by none other than Time/Warner, the biggest entertainment conglomerate in the world. Police across the country were outraged. Rightfully so-at least one had been murdered. But Time/Warner was stonewalling because the CD was a cash cow for them, and the media were tiptoeing around it because the rapper was black. I heard Time/Warner had a stockholders meeting scheduled in Beverly Hills. I owned some shares at the time, so I decided to attend. What I did there was against the advice of my family and colleagues. I asked for the floor. To a hushed room of a thousand average American stockholders, I simply read the full lyrics of "Cop Killer"-every vicious, vulgar, instructional word. "I GOT MY 12 GAUGE SAWED OFF I GOT MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF I'm ABOUT TO BUST SOME SHOTS OFF I'm ABOUT TO DUST SOME COPS OFF..." It got worse, a lot worse. I won't read the rest of it to you. But trust me, the room was a sea of shocked, frozen, blanched faces. The Time/Warner executives squirmed in their chairs and stared at their shoes. They hated me for that. Then I delivered another volley of sick lyric brimming with racist filth, where Ice-T fantasizes about sodomizing two 12-year old nieces of Al and Tipper Gore. "SHE PUSHED HER BUTT AGAINST MY ...." Well, I won't do to you here what I did to them. Let's just say I left the room in echoing silence. When I read the lyrics to the waiting press corps, one of them said "We can't print that." "I know," I replied, "but Time/Warner _s selling it." Two months later, Time/Warner terminated Ice-T's contract. I'll never be offered another film by Warners, or get a good review from Time magazine. But disobedience means you must be willing to act, not just talk. When a mugger sues his elderly victim for defending herself ... jam the switchboard of the district attorney's office. When your university is pressured to lower standards until 80 percent of the students graduate with honors ... choke the halls of the board of regents. When an 8-year-old boy pecks a girl's cheek on the playground and gets hauled into court for sexual harassment ...march on that school and block its doorways. When someone you elected is seduced by political power and betrays you ... petition them, oust them, banish them. When Time magazine's cover portrays millennium nuts as deranged, crazy Christians holding a cross as it did last month ... boycott their magazine and the products it advertises. So that this nation may long endure, I urge you to follow in the hallowed footsteps of the great disobediences of history that freed exiles, founded religions, defeated tyrants, and yes, in the hands of an aroused rabble in arms and a few great men, by God's grace, built this country. If Dr. King were here, I think he would agree. Thank you. - att1.htm

FYI Things are tough all over. GP ---------------------- Forwarded by Greg Piper/Corp/Enron on 12/10/2000 10:01 PM --------------------------- From: Keith Couch on 12/10/2000 11:02 AM To: Hal Elrod/Corp/Enron@Enron, Brandon Wax/HOU/ECT@ECT, Greg Piper/Corp/Enron@Enron, John Cummings/HOU/ECT@ECT, Jeff Harbert/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: paperexchange CEO resigns PaperExchange CEO steps down December 08, 2000 01:35 PM PT by Adam Feuerstein Kent Dolby, president and CEO of PaperExchange, resigned unexpectedly Thursday, adding to the mounting turmoil at the independent Net marketplace for the pulp and paper industry. Dolby's resignation, for personal reasons, comes a little more than a month after the company laid off 14 percent of its workforce in a major retooling of its business plan. Dolby joined PaperExchange -- 83 percent owned by Internet Capital Group (ICGE) -- in December 1999. Bob Brenner, PaperExchange's current chief technology officer, is being promoted to the CEO post. Duane Desisto, currently CFO and chief operating officer, will become president. Company executives, including Dolby, were not available to discuss the management shifts, but the moves were confirmed by a company spokeswoman. Brenner's ascension may be linked to PaperExchange's decision to focus less on its online exchange for excess paper products, and concentrate instead on developing and selling Internet-based business applications for the pulp and paper industry. Dolby may also be a victim of the fickleness of the b-to-b sector. When he joined the company, independent Net markets were the poster children for successful b-to-b ventures. But in the ensuing months, industry-sponsored marketplaces -- ventures set up by big industry players -- have risen to the top, forcing indie Net markets onto the b-to-b endangered list. PaperExchange faces considerable competiton from ForestExpress, a marketplace sponsored by industry giants Weyerhaeuser (WY), International Paper (IP), Georgia-Pacific (GP), Mead (MEA), Boise Cascade and Willamette (WLL). ForestExpress may or may not grow into a successful b-to-b marketplace, but its very existence has dominated b-to-b activity in the pulp and paper industry, and has essentially frozen any progress PaperExchange was making. The pickle in which PaperExchange finds itself is also being viewed, by some, as an indictment of Internet Capital Group. In September, ICG boosted its stake in the company from 20 percent to 83 percent, in exchange for 4.8 million shares of ICG common stock. The deal came at a time when ForestExpress was showing signs of life and when indie Net markets in general were falling into disfavor and were being all but ignored by most venture capitalists. ICG's fortunes have tumbled lately because many of its b-to-b investments are not paying off for shareholders. Last month, the company announced plans to cut costs, reduce its investment spending and refocus efforts on 15 "developed" companies in its portfolio -- companies that have the best near-term shot at initial public offerings. PaperExchange was not named as one of those "developed" companies. An ICG spokeswoman defends the investment in PaperExchange, acknowledging the company needs to help in developing its business model further -- a role ICG is uniquely positioned to play. "We have accumulated a lot of knowledge about b-to-b that has helped us build some leading b-to-b businesses," said Michelle Strykowski. "Our investment in PaperExchange is an educated bet based on that proven experience." Adam Feuerstein covers e-commerce for UpsideToday. Reach him at adamf@upside.com.

Group, When entering a physical annuity (for example, for the sale of ST-Cali length in SP-15), we need to make that the annuity starts and ends for 2 days from now, for 1 mw, for HE 1, for the appropriate dollar amount. So today is the 22nd, consequently I would make any annuity for deals done today, start and stop on the 24th, for HE 1. I would like to observe this 2 day difference on every annuity that we make. So, if you need an annuity for an amount on the 23rd, make the annuity for the 25th. Please be sure that the start and stop times for the deal and for the strip match. An annuity will not flag an error in a mismatch between the strip and the information on top like a forward deal. We are currently having many problems settling annuitys. Extra comments in the comment sections can only help. PLEASE ask questions of senior team members or myself, and get this right! Thank you, Bill

Thanks. I'll soften the expropriation language. I don't think they can disclose the $1 million on the product liability case, since the entire package appears to be one negotation, all the pieces of which likely have to be agreed to, or no settlement. But you're point's well taken and I'll try to acount for it in the answer. Finally, I can't see disclosing the fact that I'm infringing on someone's patent in my annual report. Seems like I'd have a hard time defending myself in court if they sued me, if I'd admitted it to it in my annual report. If I don't see you tomorrow, have a good week. Christine Piesco <christine.piesco@oracle.com> 11/26/2000 05:10 PM To: Jeff.Dasovich@enron.com cc: Subject: Re: Global Case Jeff, Sorry, I didn't realize we were attacking this one early over the holiday, and I was out of town until this afternoon. My conclusions differed from the attached write up on a few points, but I am not certain my thinking is the correct way. Here goes: On the expropriation: In the write up we say "We agree with the executive that Global should report the expropriation contingency in its 1994 report since both conditions included in FASB #5 were met: 1) sufficient information to assess that a loss is probable and 2) the loss could be reasonably estimated. Matuto took power in 1994 and it was known that he would nationalize major industries. " The book says "The imminence of an expropriation may be indicated by a public or private declaration of intent by a government to expropriate assess of the enterprise or actual expropriation of assets of other enterpises." I would argue that Matuto was not the government and therefore unable to enforce these assertions when he was running for office. It also says FASB 5 requires the two accrual criteria to be met. As I understand it, the government took over sometime last year and nationalization of resources was part of their platform. However, the announcement occured in mid-Feb 1995 that the government intends to nationalize the mining industry. Also, the taking over of the telephone company took place in January. Since both of these events happened in 1995, I would think they should not accrue in 1994 because the asset was not actually impaired in 1994, in fact the asset was fully functional and operational for the entire financial reporting period. I believe they should disclose that the possibility of expropriation exists in 1994, but I think they should not accrue.. I disagree that the company should cease use of the patent infringing technology, I believe that companies frequently make conscious business decisions to infringe upon patents. Since I agree that an accrual is not in order, perhaps a general disclosure regarding patent litigation should be made. The book states that "If there are several aspects of litigation, each of which gives rise to a possible claim, then the accrual criteria should be applied to each possible claim...." Thus I think we should break up the product liability suit into pieces. They've agreed to pay 1M for lost rentals. This should clearly be accrued, assuming it hasn't been paid yet. The tenants claims are expected to be settled for 1M, this too should be accrued. The surrounding property claims are not estimable, and therefore should be handled with a disclosure.

The following additions and modifications to Stack Manager will be effective as of Saturday September 8, 2001. Stack Manager Modifications Inactivate All Stack - In addition to the individual Activate/Inactive Stack buttons, there is now an Inactivate All Stack button. Similar to the Suspend All button, this button will inactivate the trader's stack on all active products. Any existing top of stack limit orders will continue to post to the website and remain transactable. See screen shot below: Inactivate All Stack button on far right. Please note that we have switched the positions of the suspend and inactivate buttons in Stack Manager. Fill Order - If a product is set up as either Restricted Top of Stack or Top of Stack the trader now has the ability to automatically fill any order that is at the top of the stack. In order to fill a limit order that is at the top of the product's stack, which will appear in pink, the trader should right click anywhere on the stack window and choose "Fill order". The volume filled on an order will be that which is offered by the trader. In order to fill the complete volume of the order, the trader will need to adjust the volume in his stack. Floated Stack windows - If the stack is inactive on a product, the price and volume fields on the my products tab will continue to be blank. On the depth window and floated stack window of these products the trader's prices will be in gray and italics. Children of products that have inactive stacks will not be gray and italicised in the floated stack windows and will not see the calculated prices. No Auto Inactivate Stack - It is now possible to keep a product active even if the trader is not logged into Stack Manager. If the trader wishes to enable this functionality on the upper right corner of the product properties page the trader should choose "No Auto Inactivate when Stack Manager is down". Changes regarding Suspension of products Stack Manager will inactivate products rather than suspend them in the following cases: ? Market Close - If a product is active at the end of its trading hours its stack will automatically become inactive rather than suspending. In order to keep a product's stack active past the set trading hours, the trader should choose "Keep Awake" next to the trading hours section of the product properties page. ? Auto Suspend now inactivates stack - On a product with the Auto Suspend function enabled to monitor the price changes on the product, the product's stack will be inactivated if the Suspend at level is reached. This feature can be used by checking the Enable box on the product properties page under the Auto Suspend section. ? Logging Out of Stack Manager- When you log out of Stack Manager without inactivating or suspending your products, the system will now inactivate your products rather than suspending them. <Embedded Paintbrush Picture>

Zimin, to generalize your initial comment, for any process dS = Mu(S,t)*S*dt + Sigma(S,t)*S*dz, the delta-hedging argument leads to the Black-Scholes PDE. This is true for any arbitrary functions Mu and Sigma, and so includes GBM, Mean Reversion, and others. There is no problem with this, because in the risk-neutral world, which is what you enter if you can hedge, the drift of the "actual" process is irrelevant. I believe your concern is that you would like to see a different option price for Mean Reversion process. This can only happen if the asset is not hedgeable, and so the actual dynamics then need to be factored into the option pricing. If you assume that the underlying is a non-traded factor, then the PDE will have to reflect the market price of risk, and the drift of the actual process is then reflected in the PDE.

Hope you can give me a convincing answer . Zimin --------------------------------- In deriving BS differential equation, we assume the underlying follows GBM ds= mu*s*dt + sigma*s*dz where mu is the drift, sigma is the volatility, both can be a function of s. Then we use delta hedging argument, we obtain the BS differential equation for the option price, regardless of mu. With the BS PDE and boundary condition, we can derive BS formula. Fine. No problem. Question comes here. Suppose the underlying is traded security and follows, say, mean-reverting process ds=beta(alpha-s)dt + sigma*s*dz Apparantly, this SDE leads to a different probability distribution. However, using the delta hedging argument, we still get the same BS differential equation, with the same boumdary condition, we get the same BS formula. Not fair ! From another angle, I can derive the distribution from the BS PDE for the underlying, which is the lognormal distribution. My thinking is: can I drive the distribution for any SDE from the option PDE ? The answer should be yes, but got to be from a different PDE rather than BS PDE. Then what we do about the delta-hedging argument ? Thanks.

[IMAGE] IssueAlert for April 6, 2001 Future Looks Dark for New York Market; NYSEG Outlines Energy Policy by Will McNamara Director, Electric Industry Analysis [News item from Reuters] New York State Electric & Gas Corp. (NYSEG), one of New York's seven utilities, said the state will not have enough megawatts to support a truly competitive wholesale electric market until 2008. NYSEG, in a report issued late Wednesday, warned there are "serious problems with (New York's) generation supply and a lack of transmission and pipeline infrastructure." The report challenges a market appraisal by the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO), which has run the state's wholesale power market since 1999. The NYSEG report, titled ``New York State's Electric Energy Crisis and NYSEG's Comprehensive Solution,'' criticizes the NYISO for not giving power consumers "price certainty" in the transition from local monopolies to an open, competitive market. Analysis: New York can now officially be added to the list of troubled energy markets, as market projections and fundamental structural problems spell out an alarming prognosis for the state as it heads into the summer season. However, unlike California, which basically faces a power supply problem that can be improved over time, New York arguably suffers from a more severe and permanent set of conditions that cannot be easily resolved. Like its West Coast counterpart, New York also suffers from a supply / demand imbalance and local resistance that thwarts new generation development. However, even if or when power supply can be increased in New York, the core load center of New York City still suffers from inherent transmission deficiencies that continue to take their own toll on the stability of the market. Various stakeholders in the New York market have now begun to place blame on each other in advance of what could shape up to be a very problematic summer. As noted, in its new report, NYSEG, a subsidiary of Energy East (NYSE: EAS), is especially critical of NYISO, which it says has contributed to soaring wholesale prices in New York. NYSEG also blames NYISO for outlining unrealistic goals for new power supply, not providing accurate price signals to energy customers, and for not doing enough to solve immediate problems. Yet, beyond the finger pointing, some essential facts can be established, on which both NYSEG and the NYISO apparently agree. According to data included in the NYISO report, between 1995 and 2000, while statewide demand in New York rose by 2,700 MW, generating capacity under contract in the state increased only by 1,060 MW. New York has not brought a new plant online since 1996, when a 200-MW plant opened in Brooklyn. It has been almost seven years since a 1,000 MW unit in Oswego, N.Y. marked the last plant to open upstate. In addition, New York suffers from severe transmission bottlenecks. Deficient transmission systems in central New York, around New York City and at the outlining borders to other states and Canada limit the amount of power than can be imported into the state. New York City is relatively isolated from the transmission grids that serve the rest of the state and must rely heavily on city-based power supply. New York City's load should reach 10,535 MW this summer alone, requiring 8,428 MW of in-city capacity, along with imports, to meet demand and provide a reserve margin. With a current capacity of 8,132 MW, there is a potential 296 MW shortfall. These projections presume normal weather conditions. If New York experiences a warmer-than-normal summer, the outlook gets even worse. Further, according to a report from New York's State Attorney General, between 1988 and 1998 capital improvements to New York's transmission system dropped from $307.7 million per year to $90 million per year. At the present time, only one major addition to the transmission system in the state is scheduled. A proposed underwater line linking Long Island to Connecticut would provide Long Island with about 300 MW of additional power and increase its import capacity by about 4 percent. Unless this transmission expansion is expedited, it is not scheduled for operation until 2002. Consequently, given all of these factors, power supplies in New York most certainly will be strained this summer when warmer temperatures drive up the use of air conditioners, pushing demand to annual highs. While NYSEG and the NYISO may agree on the nature of New York's problems, a contentious debate has emerged with regard to finding a solution. In its own proposal, released in early March, the NYISO focused on building new generation, expediting siting processes, improving transmission lines, and conservation efforts. In one of its key proposals, the NYISO urged the creation of 8,600 MW of new electricity (roughly 30 percent of New York's peak demand) by 2005, with up to 5,000 MW of that generation being made available by the end of 2001. NYSEG immediately denounced the plan for "falling short in its assessment of the magnitude of the crisis" and issued its own proposals in its recent report. For instance, NYSEG officials said that NYISO had "grossly oversimplified the situation" and that, considering the tenuous state of power construction in New York, the objective of establishing 8,600 MW by 2005 was "extremely unrealistic." In turn, NYSEG says that a robust wholesale electric market will not materialize in New York until 2008, assuming that measures to repair the problems in the state are taken immediately. In early March, NYSEG released the "NYSEGPlan," outlining six steps which it believes "contain the real solutions to ensure a successful transition" to a competitive market in New York. In summary, the NYSEGPlan includes: Streamlining the siting and approval process to build new generating plants. Adding to the state's transmission capacity. Adding to the state's natural-gas supply infrastructure. Creating a regional transmission organization to increase supply liquidity. Reinforcing the need for wise energy use by all consumers, by encouraging interruptible load where feasible, and building the technological infrastructure necessary for real-time pricing. Approving the NYSEG Price Protection Plan, in which electric rates would be frozen for seven years, by July 1, 2001. However, while NYSEG criticized NYISO for espousing unrealistic goals, the same obstacles inherent in New York's market might also thwart its own energy plan. For instance, topping the list of NYSEG's six steps is an emphasis on establishing new generation in New York through a streamlined siting and approval process. This may be easier said than done. As I mentioned in my 3/22/01IssueAlert, the opposition to new power plants in New York equals the lobbying force that community groups in California wield. In that column, I discussed the fact that Sithe Energies has downscaled a proposed plant in Ramapo, N.Y. (from an 827-MW combined-cycle facility to a 510-MW peaking unit) due to opposition raised by local residents. In addition, just yesterday, a New York Supreme Court judged blocked efforts by the New York Power Authority (NYPA) to build two 44-MW gas-fired generators in the borough of Queens. The Supreme Court judge order NYPA to "cease all construction on the units" and ruled that the power authority violated state environmental-review laws to its efforts to rush the plant into service by June. In response, NYPA has said that the plants*along with nine others that it is hoping to build throughout New York City*are needed to prevent power outages this summer. NYPA continues to face fierce opposition from community groups (many of them launching lawsuits) who do not want the generation units in their neighborhoods. Consequently, the supply / demand imbalance in New York is a very serious matter, and one that residents in the state may not fully appreciate unless blackouts occur. Until the core problem of insufficient transmission lines surrounding New York State and New York City are solved, adding new power supply (assuming that generation development can move past community opposition) would not be enough to bring more balance to the market. In the interim, conservation efforts may truly be the only tool that New Yorkers can user to abate power outages this summer, but again the general public may not fully understand the need to reduce their power usage. New York basically has three options at this point to prepare for near-term problems. First, expedite the building of new generation sources (including distribution generation alternatives). This assumes that gas lines will be sufficient to import necessary fuel. Second, allow the economy of New York City to stagnate as a result of the supply / demand imbalance, which will drive residents out of the city and in turn reduce demand. And, third, focus on conservation efforts, which again may not work until residents are directly impacted by outages. The city may choose a combination of all three approaches or decide to focus on just one. However, to address the immediate concerns, it does not appear that New York has any options besides this three-tier approach. One point that bears mentioning is the similarity between California and New York regarding the position that both states took on divestiture. Although it is not completely accurate to say that either state officially mandated divestiture, utilities in both California and New York felt intense pressure to divest and submitted restructuring plans that included the sale of most of their power plants. NYSEG, the author of the new report on New York's power problems, is one utility that sold all of its generation assets and will remain only in the transmission business. This most likely creates a heightened sensitivity on NYSEG's part with regard to the power supply shortages presently facing New York. Again, we now have two states that represent the array of problems that can result when the vertical utility model becomes dismantled. Of course, it is not fair to say that divestiture is the sole source of the current problems in California and New York, but taking away a utility's ability to effectively control is own power supply costs certainly contributed to the vulnerability in both states.

Touche' The Wisdom of Will Rogers Don't squat with your spurs on. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier 'n puttin' it back in. If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there. If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him... The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. There's two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'. Never slap a man who's chewin' tobacco. It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep. Always drink upstream from the herd. When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their lesson. When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket. Never miss a good chance to shut up. There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.

Andrea Sea Namaste Los Angeles, CA 90025 andreasea@yahoo.com To Mr. Ken Lay, I'm writing to urge you to donate the millions of dollars you made from selling Enron stock before the company declared bankruptcy to funds, such as Enron Employee Transition Fund and REACH, that benefit the company's employees, who lost their retirement savings, and provide relief to low-income consumers in California, who can't afford to pay their energy bills. Enron and you made millions out of the pocketbooks of California consumers and from the efforts of your employees. Indeed, while you netted well over a $100 million, many of Enron's employees were financially devastated when the company declared bankruptcy and their retirement plans were wiped out. And Enron made an astronomical profit during the California energy crisis last year. As a result, there are thousands of consumers who are unable to pay their basic energy bills and the largest utility in the state is bankrupt. The New York Times reported that you sold $101 million worth of Enron stock while aggressively urging the company's employees to keep buying it. Please donate this money to the funds set up to help repair the lives of those Americans hurt by Enron's underhanded dealings. Sincerely, Andrea Sea Namaste

Hey Bo, I was checking on some flights for myself and happened to look at one-way tickets from New Orleans. It looks like the refundable, no-advance purchase ticket is going to run you about $100 on Southwest...Lucky for you they do offer a senior citizen fare for $55 (age does have its advantages). Sissy By the way, I didn't even realise John Cleese and Denise Richards were in the movie...and evidently at some point Bond hijacks a submarine. Roger Ebert actually thought so much of the film he gave it 3 and 1/2 stars. We may have to watch this one at some point. "The World Is Not Enough" is a splendid comic thriller, exciting and graceful, endlessly inventive. Because it is also the 19th James Bond movie, it comes with so much history that one reviews it like wine, comparing it to earlier famous vintages; I guess that's part of the fun. This is a good one.

The halt in power generation was the latest move in a months-long dispute that has cast doubt on the future of Dabhol's $2.9 billion power project in India, the largest foreign investment ever in India. Jimmy Mogul, a spokesman for Enron, which owns 65 percent of Dabhol, said the company remained open to discussions in the dispute, which involves overdue payments for power. Dabhol had issued a preliminary termination notice on May 19 saying it was pulling out of the Indian project. Final termination requires a contractual six-month cooling-off period.

Column One Spin Control: Spain Hits Turning Point At Windmill Parks --- Some Are Well Planned, Others Scar the Landscape --- EU Pride and Promises at Stake By Keith Johnson Staff Reporter 05/31/2001 The Wall Street Journal Europe 1 (Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) BARBATE, Spain -- The economy of this fishing community is as battered as its town hall, where dim lights flicker in the hallways and chips of paint flake off the walls. Up in his second-floor office, the mayor, Juan Manuel de Jesus, has an in-tray overflowing with troubles: a third of the town out of work; a desperately needed fishing treaty with Morocco; rising crime and drug abuse; and a big municipal budget deficit. But this morning, his thoughts revolve around a different irritant: windmills. "Look at this," he says, unfolding on his desk a map of the countryside surrounding Barbate. Large yellow and green splotches -- a military training zone and a swarm of natural parks -- hem in the seaside town, leaving just a pair of white slivers. "Those are the only areas open for development," he says. His finger stabs one of the white areas near the Atlantic coast. "And that's where they're putting the windmills -- the one place we could have built a hotel, a resort, something that would bring us some jobs." The mayor sees the windmills as a blight on the land, driving away tourists and crimping more lucrative projects. Local environmentalists fret that the installation, with its rows of steel towers and sharp metal blades, will play havoc with migrating birds and mar the coastline as they did in nearby Tarifa, a windsurfing mecca on the Strait of Gibraltar. Tilting at windmills is nothing new in the land of Don Quixote. But wind power doesn't have to be like this. At the opposite end of the country, more than 1,000 kilometers to the north in the green hills of Navarra, 28 steel windmills perch on a ridge over a landscape that resembles a nature reserve. Cows nap in the shade of the towers, and the narrow gravel access roads follow original grazing trails. Electricity is transformed in a nearby substation built to resemble the neighboring stone houses. The approach -- the result of close cooperation between business and government -- has won accolades from environmentalists and business leaders alike. Spain, the world's No. 3 producer of wind power, has become a battleground for two competing models of developing the business: the hodgepodge of unsightly wind parks seen in the south and the carefully planned and unobtrusive installations found up north. The conflict is intensely local, with the country building enough new windmills to more than triple its wind-power capacity by 2005. But the model that prevails will have consequences far beyond the Iberian Peninsula. Anxious to clean up its environment and limit its dependence on imports of natural gas, the European Union has committed itself to generating 22% of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2010. Yet less than 5% of the EU's electricity output now comes from windmills, thanks largely to poor execution and a brewing backlash. If Spain -- with its open spaces and relatively low population density -- can't sell the public on windmills, the EU will likely find it difficult to convince Europeans to accept more ambitious forms of alternative energy, such as biomass plants, which turn agricultural, animal and human waste into energy. The failure could also call into question the EU's commitment to the 1997 Kyoto global-warming treaty, which U.S. President George W. Bush has been roundly criticized in Europe for rejecting. Few expected this turn in events back in 1996, when the EU first set a more modest 2010 target. At the time, wind power looked like the fresh breeze of the future. Soon, the union's most green-minded states, led by Germany and Denmark, were busily building wind parks to the applause of environmental groups, which saw wind power as a clean alternative to nuclear power and coal-burning power plants. But early enthusiasm led to shortsighted projects, leaving the European landscape littered with inefficient wind parks. Germany, for example, quickly became the world's largest producer of wind power, with 6,113 megawatts of capacity installed at the end of last year. But the breakneck growth has gobbled up most of the available sites for windmills, prompting government officials to promise more careful planning procedures. Opposition is also building in Denmark, forcing the government to rethink a wind-power subsidy program. All of this spells trouble for wind power, which relies heavily on government funding. "Lower-quality projects are mucking up the panorama," says James Stettler, a renewable energy analyst with Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein in London. Finding the right balance between wind development and environmental care would go a long way toward assuaging public opposition -- notably in wind-rich but windmill-poor Britain and Ireland -- and toward avoiding California-like blackouts in Spain in the years to come. The danger is real, says Rafael Miranda, chairman of Spanish utility Endesa SA, who this month urged the government to ease restrictions on new investments in power plants or risk outages. One way forward can be seen in the hills of northern Navarra, at the installations of Energia Hidroelectrica de Navarra SA, a Spanish company that specializes in renewable energy. On a recent afternoon, EHN official Enrique Huidobro races his four-by-four past two huge trucks on a dusty track leading up to Alaiz, an 85-turbine park built in 1999. EHN's head of civil works, Mr. Huidobro is working overtime -- patching the land, clearing debris and replanting grass around the park's latest additions, 10 big 660-kilowatt turbines whose 23-meter-long blades whoosh over the landscape with barely a whisper. EHN is Spain's largest wind-park developer. The company has installed more than 600 megawatts of wind capacity in Spain over the past five years, mostly in Navarra. Its parks have won accolades from environmental groups and business leaders alike, and company-sponsored surveys show public approval ratings above 80%. One of its subsidiaries, Energias Eolicas Europeas, this spring landed the biggest-ever financing package in the wind sector: some 900 million euros from five European banks to build 31 wind parks in Don Quixote's La Mancha in south-central Spain. "The extra costs from taking care of the environment aren't questioned here," says EHN's chief executive, Esteban Morras, seated beneath oil paintings of modern windmills in his office in Pamplona. "That's the most profitable investment there is in the long run." Mr. Morras isn't just paying lip service to the green lobby. A former attorney and civil servant, he spent years working on water-resource and energy issues in the governments of his hometown and, later, the region. So when EHN was founded in 1989 and he became CEO, he was merely taking his passion to the private sector. Fresh from his morning English lesson -- EHN is expanding into the U.S., Eastern Europe and Latin America -- Mr. Morras outlines what he sees as the keys to making wind power palatable: careful planning, environmental sensitivity and the latest in technology. Then he grabs a pair of binoculars and peers out the window behind his desk. On the crest of a hill in the distance is EHN's newest prototype, a 1.3-megawatt turbine. It's 10 times bigger than the turbines first installed in southern Spain, yet its 27-meter-long blades spin in much gentler breezes. "With more machines like that," Mr. Morras says, "we'll have parks that are less cluttered -- and more reliable and economical." The company's success owes a lot to the region's government. Navarra helped create EHN and still owns 48% of it. Navarra also approved generous tax credits for companies that invest in renewable-energy projects and established coherent and far-reaching planning procedures for wind power across the region. The strategy transformed the region from an also-ran in wind power to a model of development in five years Sitting in an office overlooking Navarra's first wind park, the regional official who guides the program reflects on the strategy. "It's not just about megawatts," says Nuria Iturriagagoitia, Navarra's director of industry, trade, labor and tourism. "You have to consider how it affects employment, education, agriculture, even tourism. The key was having a clear idea from the beginning on how to promote and implement alternative energies. EHN is the vehicle of our energy policy." She ticks off details of the 1995 energy plan. "The government studied 72 sites across Navarra," she says, sketching a map of the shield-shaped region on a piece of paper. "It ruled out 43 of them: They were virgin territory, or too close to natural parks, even though they were some of the best, windiest sites," she explains, crossing out huge swaths of the hilly province. In the end, 16 sites made the cut. But Navarra's strategy for quelling opposition didn't end there. After EHN began its detailed planning, Mr. Morras held weekly public meetings with environmentalists, developers and local residents. "We discussed every curve of every road," he says. "Everybody was included." EHN, unlike many Spanish wind-park developers, also decided to have all its windmills assembled in local factories. Its new project in Castilla-La Mancha, for example, will be supplied by a newly built local Enron Corp. plant. The approach paid off. Today, all 16 sites have operational wind parks. Five years after the first turbines started spinning, some 35% of Navarra's electricity comes from wind power. That compares with about 2% for Spain as a whole, and 13% for Denmark, the world's fourth-largest wind-power producer. Having won over the citizens of Navarra, the regional government and EHN are now working to educate the whole country about wind power. They regularly bus students from across Spain to their wind parks, some of which have become tourist attractions. Compare this with the haphazard patchwork of windmills cropping up down south in Andalusia, home to one of the country's first wind parks -- the sprawling installation of low-power windmills planted in Tarifa in 1992. In 1997, wind-power developers presented some 65 projects to the regional government. But Andalusia had no overall plan for exploiting the region's wind-swept coasts and inland hilltops. The region had no plan to oversee wind-power development, and no uniform criteria for installing or removing windmills. In the end, about 20 wind parks were approved with little thought to how much total energy they would generate for the region or how they would cumulatively affect the environment. The result: Trucks and cranes have chewed up many pristine areas, leaving behind 45-meter-high towers and concrete-block substations. Yet wind power still generates less than 1% of Andalusia's electricity. Soledad Bonet, a spokeswoman for Andalusia's environmental department, acknowledges that the region has no global planning procedure for new energy installations, including wind parks. Although the region's departments of environment, labor and industry all review wind-park plans, individual municipal governments are essentially free to award development licenses as they see fit. The crosswinds of these forces can be seen on a hilltop west of Barbate, where Desarrollos Eolicos SA, the wind park unit of engineering firm Abengoa SA, is busy erecting a row of windmills. More than 20 towers are already in place, and neighbors worry the looming turbines and gouged-out access roads will create another Tarifa. "They might be `green' and all," says Antonio Aragon, a taxi driver who gets an eyeful every time he wheels out of town. "But they sure do foul up the landscape something awful." This is "third-world" development, says Jose Luis Tirado, a 47-year-old sculptor who heads of a local group of environmentalists, businessmen and landowners who oppose the wind park. "We've spent decades calling for alternative energy sources," he says. "But doing it like this -- without any sort of planning -- is worse than doing nothing at all." Equally galling, he says, is that none of the wind-park developers active in the region have shifted any production to local factories, despite Andalucia's jobless rate of more than 20%. Back in Barbate's town hall, Mayor de Jesus sits at his desk and recalls how he invoked building-permit irregularities to stop work on the wind park earlier this year. A few months later, though, a local judge overruled him, arguing that Abengoa stood to lose its investment and that Barbate would have had to reimburse the company for the cost of the whole project. Construction has begun again. Abengoa declines to comment. Now, Mr. de Jesus leafs through a dossier of proposed economic initiatives for his town, then sets it aside with a sigh. His legal battle to halt construction looks hopeless, as does his chance of winning a new accord that will allow local fishermen to cast their nets in Moroccan waters. Unemployment and drugs are slowly killing his town, he says. "Those turbines are being built -- there's nothing we can do about that," he says. "But that's it. We're passing a new urban plan this year. There won't be any more [wind-park] licenses in the future, not here." Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. May 31, 2001 Houston Chronicle Struggling Enron plant in India stops production By LAURA GOLDBERG Copyright 2001 Houston Chronicle Enron Corp.'s India power plant has stopped production after its sole customer stopped ordering electricity. The Maharashtra State Electricity Board had not issued dispatch instructions for power from the Dabhol Power Co. since early Tuesday, Enron spokesman John Ambler said Wednesday. The move by the board is the latest in a series of actions and counteractions surrounding the $3 billion project, in which Enron has a 65 percent stake. Though the plant can't produce power unless it has dispatch instructions, the plant hasn't been shut down. Employees are there and the plant reportedly is operational -- ready to produce power. The board told Enron last week it was canceling a 7-year-old power purchase agreement. Enron says the board doesn't have the right to do so. Under the contract, the board is supposed to pay Enron whether it takes power or not, said Carol Coale, an energy analyst with Prudential Securities in Houston. But the board has already refused to pay for power, saying Enron isn't living up to its contract. Enron, which says it is meeting the contract's terms, is owed about $64 million for power sold in December and January. Days before the board gave notice to Enron, the company started proceedings to end the contract because of unpaid power bills. But six months must pass before Enron can end it. There is continued speculation that Enron is looking to sell its stake in the project. In a statement, Enron said Wednesday it is "still open to constructive discussions on solutions." Indian officials also have been talking to some of the country's states about purchasing electricity from Dabhol, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday. The project has faced ongoing problems, almost from the time of Enron's initial investment in it in the early 1990s. BP Doesn't Expect Lead Role In Saudi Gas Proj - Source 05/31/2001 Dow Jones Energy Service (Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) DUBAI -(Dow Jones)- BP Plc (BP) doesn't expect to be awarded the lead role in Saudi Arabia's South Ghawar gas project, a source at the company told Dow Jones Newswires Thursday, requesting anonymity. Two weeks ago, Saudi Arabia announced its selection of international oil companies to develop three gas projects together, estimated to require investment of $25 billion-$30 billion. BP was selected, along with Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM), Royal Dutch/Shell Group (RD), and Phillips Petroleum Co. (P), to develop the South Ghawar field, also known as Core Venture 1. Analysts estimate Core Venture 1 will need initial investment of between $15 billion and $17 billion. Industry sources have said that ExxonMobil and Shell are the strongest contenders to lead the project. The BP source said the leader of Core Venture 1 will get a 35% stake, Phillips a 15% stake, and the other two partners, 25% each. ExxonMobil has been appointed leader of Core Venture 2, or the Red Sea project, with a joint bid by Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY) and Enron Corp. (ENE) securing a minority stake. Core Venture 3, the Shaybah project, was awarded to a consortium of Shell, TotalFinaElf (TOT), and Conoco Inc. (COCA). Leaders for Core Ventures 1 and 3 have yet to be announced. Oil company executives are due to sign initial agreements Sunday. By Dyala Sabbagh, Dow Jones Newswires; 9714-331-4260; dyala.sabbagh@dowjones.com Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

NEWS Regulators want state trade-off for caps / Davis asked to give up control of power lines Bernadette Tansey Chronicle Staff Writer 05/31/2001 The San Francisco Chronicle FINAL A.1 (Copyright 2001) California's testy relationship with federal energy regulators could turn into a showdown tomorrow, when state power officials must decide whether to surrender some control over the state's electricity market or risk losing limited price curbs that kicked in this week. In agreeing last month to set flexible caps to restrict price gouging during electricity shortages, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said the state and its utilities must agree to let an independent organization manage California's power transmission lines. Under that setup, California would be one of a group of Western states sharing a linked transmission grid whose rates and access rules would be set by independent managers. It is part of the commission's drive to create regional electricity markets throughout the country and make it easier to trade power across state lines. The regional grids would be a prelude to the nationwide free market in electricity advocated by the Bush administration and power marketers like Enron. But California Assembly Democrats who have challenged the federal demand say the requirement could interfere with some of the state's homegrown solutions to its energy crisis, such as Gov. Gray Davis' proposal that the state buy and run transmission lines owned by Southern California Edison Co. "A lot of folks were wondering how those two things would interact and are they mutually exclusive," said Paul Hefner, an aide to Assembly Speaker Robert Hertzberg, D-Sherman Oaks. Other officials say the federal requirement is premature because no regional organization yet exists that California can join. Mike Florio, a board member of the California Independent System Operator, which manages the state's power grid, said California is already part of regional efforts to clear transmission bottlenecks and share surplus power. But Florio said no Western state will rush into a regional arrangement and surrender part of its authority without ensuring a good deal for its own consumers. "We certainly don't want to be forced into an entity where generators or power marketers get to dictate the terms," Florio said. "This has got to be a long courtship rather than a shotgun wedding." When federal regulators initiated the move toward regional transmission grids during the Clinton administration in 1999, participation was voluntary, said Gary Cohen, general counsel to the state Public Utilities Commission. But in its April 26 order, the federal energy commission made its offer of limited price relief contingent on a filing by June 1 from the Independent System Operator committing the state to a regional management plan. The PUC and the Assembly are challenging that requirement. If anything, Cohen said, the state needs to increase control over its energy system while it recovers from its disastrous debut into deregulation, rather than submit to a regional authority that would be overseen by the federal government. "This doesn't seem to be the time to be doing more experimenting," Cohen said. "We certainly have not been able to rely on FERC to look out for the interests of Californians." WAITING FOR STATE'S RESPONSE Curt Hebert, chairman of the federal commission, declined to say yesterday whether the government would immediately yank the soft price caps that went into effect this week if it found the ISO response unsatisfactory. "He said he didn't want to prejudge the case," said commission spokeswoman Tamara Young-Allen. "He will wait to see what California files." PUC Commissioner Jeff Brown said he would be willing to give up some state control of the grid in exchange for meaningful price controls. But, he said, the federal measures granted fell far short of what California needed. "Hell, those caps are pretty toothless as they are," Brown said. The price controls are in effect only during power shortages. The cap is the price offered by the least-efficient generating plant. And generators can challenge any federal ruling that they have exceeded the caps, by claiming high costs. The controls were in place for the first time yesterday, when the state declared a Stage 2 power emergency, meaning reserves fell below 5 percent of available capacity. Florio said state power managers' answer to the federal government will probably be that they are already doing within California much of what a regional transmission organization would do. ISO COULD PLAY A ROLE The ISO manages the grid to ensure that power gets to where it is needed in the state, the organization told federal regulators in January. The agency could represent California when a Western regional organization develops, it said. The governor declined to say yesterday what stand he would take on federal regulators' demand. "I'm of a mind to do something, but I still have to talk to my lawyers," Davis said. Assembly Democrats say regulators in Washington have no right to withhold actions to correct California's dysfunctional power market. "They're required to . . . ensure that just and reasonable rates prevail in the market," Hefner said. "Why should we have to dicker to get them to do the job Congress created them to do?"

NEWS Plan would have biggest customers pay Edison's debt Greg Lucas Sacramento Bureau Chief 05/31/2001 The San Francisco Chronicle FINAL A.5 (Copyright 2001) Legislative leaders are drafting a new rescue plan for Southern California Edison that would put the utility back on its feet financially at the expense of its biggest customers. The plan would leave manufacturers, refineries and other big industrial customers with the burden of paying nearly all the utility's $3.5 billion back debt through a dedicated charge. Residential and small commercial users would be on the hook for only a fraction of the back debt. Big users say it is unfair to saddle them with all of Edison's debt, but supporters of the plan say it's these users that wanted deregulation and should shoulder the costs it created. "We're trying to put something together in a way that solves all these problems, and if people are to be pigheaded about it, we won't solve any problems," said Assemblyman Fred Keeley, D-Boulder Creek (Santa Cruz County). Although the plan is an alternative to Gov. Gray Davis' proposed deal to put Edison back on its feet financially, it could be used as a model to help restore Pacific Gas and Electric Co. to solvency. Democrats say the plan contains some elements desired by Republicans, but GOP lawmakers object to saddling large business users with Edison's debt. The plan is based on the way gas customers are divided into "core" and "noncore" users. SEPARATING 'CORE' USERS Under this proposal, electrical users would be divided the same way. Core users would be customers who use 500 kilowatts or less a month. Noncore would be those using more than 500 kilowatts. Out of Edison's 4.2 million customers, only 3,600 would be noncore customers. But those 3,600 customers use about 26 percent of Edison's demand for energy. Core customers would get their power from generators owned by Edison, long-term contracts and alternative energy producers, such as wind farms and solar panels, on contract with the utility. That would mean those customers would no longer be subject to the whims of the spot market, which has far higher prices than other sources of electricity. Large users, the noncore customers, would be given the right to negotiate to buy their power directly from generators or build on- site power plants to make themselves energy self-sufficient. The plan would be phased in through January 2003 to give large energy customers time to prepare for buying power on the open market. During that period, residential, small business and large industrial users would all share in paying off Edison's debt. But in 2003, that burden would shift exclusively to the big users. Republican lawmakers and those same large users have been clamoring to be given what is called "direct access" to generators so they can negotiate cheaper rates. Enron is also backing the idea of cutting loose the largest electricity users because that would create a built-in market for the energy the company sells. Large users who want to remain on the grid could do so. EDISON 'ENCOURAGED' Sources said Edison officials met with lawmakers over the weekend to iron out details of the plan. A spokesman for Edison said he was "encouraged" by the talks. "I haven't seen a finished product or a plan," said Bob Foster, a senior vice president with Edison. "They're approaching this in a spirit of goodwill and trying to find a solution." Big businesses complain that the plan does not work because right now, there is nowhere they can buy cheap electricity. "We're very concerned that separating the core from the noncore means we will experience extreme rate hikes over the next two years," said D.J. Smith, a lobbyist for the California Large Energy Consumers Association. "When you add blackouts, the multiple interruptions of production and another potentially huge rate hike, the result would be catastrophic to the economy," Smith said. Added Dorothy Rothrock, a lobbyist for the California Manufacturers and Technology Association: "What's the rationale for the noncore to be paying the entire Edison undercollection? It sounds to me like just pure politics. They don't want voters to pay because they vote." CONSUMER ADVOCATE SMELLS A RAT Harvey Rosenfield, head of the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights, said he thought the plan would eventually turn into a bailout as business interests muscle lawmakers into pushing some portion of Edison's debt onto residential and smaller commercial customers. "I think it's a trick. We've seen this same tactic used at the Public Utilities Commission, where what were supposed to be rate increases for big business end up costing more for residential and small businesses," Rosenfield said. The new plan also does not include the outright purchase of Edison's part of the transmission system that loops electricity around the state. Davis backs buying the lines for $2.7 billion. Democrats have insisted that for the state's financial help, taxpayers receive something of value. Republicans have insisted that they will back no proposal that includes state purchase of transmission lines. In the new proposal, the state would have a five-year option to buy the transmission lines for $1.2 billion -- the book value of the asset. In addition, the utility would make $1.5 billion available to the state to either purchase other assets -- such as Edison's hydroelectric facilities, for example -- or use it in partnership to build new power plants.

INDIA'S MSEB DOUBTFUL OVER DABHOL'S 10 PCT TARIFF CUT PROPOSAL 05/31/2001 Asia Pulse (c) Copyright 2001 Asia Pulse PTE Ltd. MUMBAI, May 31 Asia Pulse - The Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) has expressed serious doubts over Enron-promoted Dabhol Power Company's (DPC) proposal to reduce its tariff by 10 per cent from the current average to Rs 3.15 per unit. "Agreed that they have mooted such a proposal verbally, we should not forget that it is ridden with assumptions, which are unacceptable to the board," the MSEB sources told PTI here today.

India: Interest rate dichotomy growing wider 05/31/2001 Business Line (The Hindu) Copyright (C) 2001 Kasturi & Sons Ltd (KSL); Source: World Reporter (TM) - Asia Intelligence Wire MORE than 30 per cent of the targeted Government borrowings for the current year have been lifted from the market at pretty low yields. Over the last two months, the Reserve Bank of India seems to have managed short-term liquidity and interest rates to subserve the larger interest of making a success of the Centre's borrowing programme. Over the last two years, the Government has been able to borrow cheap from the markets - a facility denied to other parts of the economy that have to borrow at stiff lending rates from the banks. Banks credit-rate borrowers and only the best get funds - this is perfectly logical. They also blindly put in funds into Government floats as they are totally risk-free, which again is perfectly sensible. Perhaps, in no part of the world is the practice of banking so risk-free as in Mera Bharat Mahan, with banks carrying NPAs of well over Rs 52,000 crore. The votaries of higher Government spending should not crib as the Centre's borrowing programmes have received a huge applause from the banking community. And the Centre promptly uses the funds on interest payments, defence and subsidies with capital investment getting to be negative. Allowing the private sector greater latitude has not curbed the scope of public sector capital investment. If it has not taken place, it is because even the Government is reluctant to set up power plants which have to offer free power to farmers. That is precisely why the private parties are insisting on escrow accounts. Over the planning period, public sector investment did not believe in cost-benefit principles as neck-high taxation levels and subsidies helped to hide the inefficiency. That is not possible today. In fact, higher savings of the Indian economy are being wasted more by the Government than by anybody else; also savings cannot be said to be acting as a restraint to the investment process. In the urban sector, there is an interest rate dichotomy with New Delhi getting easier funds than the corporate world. There is no premium on the interest rates for Government inefficiency. The same dichotomy prevails in the rural sector with bank funds flow tapering off and informal channels busy. Under Indian conditions, higher savings have nowhere to go, making the cut in contractual savings look sensible. It hurts not because interest rates are low but because there is no growth to absorb bank funds. At this point of time, one may not be able to find the tomes of any international economist to analyse the Indian economy. High savings, nil growth, steep Government borrowings and pervasive hunger and the rest cannot be reconciled into a neat econometric equation. Only growth can help. Sure we (our patriotic politicians and bureaucrats) allowed Enron to milk us. Today, if you are not a critic of Enron, you are bound to be dubbed a traitor. But can the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) make money and get bank funds if has to provide power free to large sections of the public? Can it get some funds to revamp the existing plants? For us, there is progress in getting stuck at the Hindu growth rate of 3 per cent to getting stranded at the Orange growth rate of 6 per cent as breaking free is not in us. P.

India: Enron willing to continue project 05/31/2001 Business Line (The Hindu) Copyright (C) 2001 Kasturi & Sons Ltd (KSL); Source: World Reporter (TM) - Asia Intelligence Wire MUMBAI, May 30. ENRON today updated Indian lenders about the status of the project and discussed ways for resolution of the current crisis. According to sources, Enron showed a willingness to continue with the project even after all the problems. Mr Wade Cline, Managing Director, is understood to have told the lenders that even though DPC had mentioned about taking a 10 per cent cut on its returns, it would not do so unilaterally. According to Mr Cline, the adjustments that Enron could make are contingent upon other parties too making an effort to make concessions. He made a presentation to the lenders about the current status of the project and the problems. Meanwhile, Dabhol Power Company today clarified that it has not "shut down" its plant. A spokesman said the plant continues to be "operational" as required by the power purchase agreement (PPA). He, however, confirmed that the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) has not issued despatch instructions since 12 noon on May 29. He also said the company is "currently" not planning to terminate the PPA prior to the lapse of six months after the serving of the preliminary termination notice. Sources said that even though MSEB is not purchasing power from DPC, the company is not likely to default on its payments to lenders. This is because DPC has some money left from the disbursements of the first phase of the project. It can use the money to service its debt. It can, however, not transfer the amount to the second phase without the lenders' permission. The company also has a sizable amount of "completion equity" over and above the base equity to bring in if it chooses to continue construction. According to sources, the Indian lenders today wanted to know from Enron whether it is actually willing to stay back and complete the project or walk away. It appeared they are willing to stay, but only without conceding too much. Top MSEB officials said as far as MSEB is concerned, "DPC power may be available, but we would not take it. We are not recognising the PPA any more". They said the board had given the option to the company saying it would buy power and make payments according to the PPA but on an ad hoc basis. The adjustments could be made at a later date. "However, they threw it back to us saying you cannot have your cake and eat it too. So we decided to keep the cake," a State Government official said.

MUMBAI, May 31 Asia Pulse - Amidst a rash of allegations and legal wrangles, the US energy major Enron-promoted Dabhol Power Company (DPC) has shut down the US$3 billion Guhagar plant and is set to issue the Termination Notice to its partner the Maharashtra State Electricty Board (MSEB). With the MSEB not drawing power since last noon, the multinational had no option but to shut down the plant as MSEB is their sole customer, a member of the Godbole committee, set up for re-negotiating the power purchase agreement with the DPC, told PTI here Wednesday. "DPC is reeling under tremendous pressure from its lenders who have already given the multinational a go-ahead for a wrap up by terminating the contract," he added. He said the Enron India chief, K Wade Cline, had conveyed DPC lenders' nod for the termination to the Committee members yesterday and had said "we will have to terminate the contract, if no solution is found to this grave crisis. As it is, even now DPC cannot see a way out". The DPC had served a Preliminary Termination Notice to MSEB on May 19. "Even though there exists a cushion period of six months, the energy major will issue the notice," the official said. On the other hand, MSEB officials are not worried over the termination of the contract. "MSEB has already rescinded the PPA. So even if they terminate the contract, it hardly matters to us," they said. Meanwhile, the Godbole committee would meet the MSEB officials on June six, but DPC representatives have not been invited for the same. (PTI) 31-05 1029 Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Report on Business: Managing Working Life That's right, double-click there, sir Techies, executives cross-pollinate as reverse mentoring gains ground DIANE LEWIS The Boston Globe 05/31/2001 The Globe and Mail Metro B14 "All material Copyright (c) Bell Globemedia Publishing Inc. and its licensors. All rights reserved." GE Plastics executive Jay Pomeroy knew familiarity with the Web was fast becoming an essential part of his job. So, to help him get up to speed, his company paired him with Gen-Xer Amelia Burkhart, a tech savvy thirtysomething at the Pittsfield firm who used her on-line experience to show the 46-year-old senior manager the ropes. "I brought him knowledge of the Internet realm," said Ms. Burkhart, global manager of e-plastics.com, GE Plastics' on-line division. "He has to deal with people from other regions and countries. We actually conducted a virtual meeting so that he would understand how to participate in meetings on-line." She added: "Before mentoring, you would never see Jay's name on a same-time chat. Now he is on a lot and he's become a pretty avid Internet user." Call it reverse mentoring -- a form of one-on-one coaching that gives younger techies a chance to teach senior executives how to surf the Net, use instant messaging, collaborate with a team in real time, find new business applications, or explore the ins and outs of buying products on-line. It's a relationship that's also a two-way street: one that allows corporate greenhorns to seek advice from seasoned executives to help hone the managerial skills and relationships they need to advance in the workplace. Specialists say reverse mentoring is one way established companies like General Electric are embracing the Internet in order to survive -- and thrive -- in a technology-driven world. The practice, which began in Europe, is now taking hold in the United States as young workers bring newfound energy and skills to Old Economy companies once labelled slow-moving monoliths. Joel Kurtzman, co-author of a new book titled Radical E: From GE to Enron -- Lessons on How to Rule the Web, says the interchange between mentoring pairs is a form of cross-pollination: Students gain new knowledge; mentors gain valuable institutional information from veterans whose political astuteness and management savvy helped them succeed. Ms. Burkhart, for example, says the program helped her develop a relationship with Mr. Pomeroy, who returned the favour by providing tips on managing her career at GE. He also shared some of his institutional knowledge, and he remains a close contact at the firm. "We now have a relationship that has blossomed," said Ms. Burkhart. "It's also been good exposure for me." Glenn Rifkin, co-author of Radical E, says the trend is one of the more positive results of the dot-com boom. "For the first time, entrenched business people and companies have had their eyes opened to the fact that there are now some really smart young people in their corporate settings who can teach them new things," he said. The authors, who spent months interviewing mature companies with well-known brands, are convinced the future will be shaped by Old Economy "hybrids" -- companies that combine the best practices from e-commerce and older brick-and-mortar firms. This, they say, is a more radical form of reverse mentoring in which Net companies with little business knowledge are paired with established firms, or young employees at mature companies find new ways to do business on-line. Some of those companies include General Motors, Procter & Gamble, GE, and Houston-based Enron, a global energy company. GE, the first Old Economy firm to endorse and use reverse mentoring in the United States, began a formal program two years ago after chief executive officer Jack Welch introduced the concept. The company has since paired dozens of workers in a push to bring key people into the computer age and expand the company's market to include cyberspace. Procter & Gamble began encouraging IT employees to participate in an informal reverse mentoring program last year. "Because technology changes so rapidly, individuals pair up with people who seem to be more adept at the latest application," said P&G spokeswoman Vicky Mayer. Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, the Wharton School has implemented a program that helps top executives from around the world bring New Economy practices into Old Economy firms. One feature of the e-fellows program: Mentoring sessions staffed by MBA students in their 20s who share their knowledge with seasoned corporate leaders. Wharton e-fellows learn how to use the Internet to reshape their firms. Over the course of three weeks, e-fellows spend time at the business school's Philadelphia campus, in Silicon Valley, and at an international site. The program began in September. Executives are paired with MBA students in a one-on-one match. "Typically, these students are Internet savvy and they live in a world where e-business and business are synonymous," said Neil Neveras, director of e-business at Wharton's e-fellows program. Mary Dolan, a 37-year-old manager at Random House, was among the first Wharton e-fellows to participate in the program last year. "My background was more publishing driven than e-commerce driven," said Ms. Dolan, now director of e-book sales for the New York publisher. "The program gave me a broader grasp and view of the world at large, beyond the niche area of publishing." Ms. Dolan was paired with 27-year-old David Turrettino, then a first-year MBA student. Mr. Turrettino taught Ms. Dolan how to collaborate with her peers using Wharton's Net tools. Since the program is team-based, Ms. Dolan learned to conduct meetings on the Net and experiment with on-line business models. "This is a partnership between the generations," said Mr. Kurtzman, a global partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers. "But at the height of the dot-com boom, people were saying strategy is dead. . . . Now there is an understanding that you must have the business savvy that comes with experience." Mr. Pomeroy, of GE Plastics, says having a Web presence has paid off. "At GE Plastics we took a presence on the Web, which was about $10-million [U.S.] in sales revenues in 1998, and expanded it to $1.5-billion in business by 2000," he said. "This year, we expect to do close to $4-billion in business on-line." Mr. Pomeroy said Ms. Burkhart helped him use the Net with greater ease. "Now, everything we do is predicated on the internal or external Web," said Mr. Pomeroy. "Everything is on that square screen that sits on our desks."

Enron Willing To Continue India Power Project - Report 05/31/2001 Dow Jones International News (Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) NEW DELHI -(Dow Jones)- U.S. based power major Enron Corp. (ENE) may be willing to continue with its India project the Dabhol Power Co., Wade Cline, managing director of Enron's indian unit, told the projects Indian lenders, the Business Line newspaper reports Thursday. Cline told lenders that Dabhol Power could make adjustments, including a 10% cut in power tariffs, but it wouldn't do so unilaterally, the news report added. Any adjustments would depend on similar concessions from purchasing parties. The $3-billion Dabhol Power project, India's biggest foreign investment project, is situated in the western Indian state of Maharashtra. The project, which will generate 2,184 megawatts of power when the second phase is completed later this year, is at the center of a power supply dispute between the state government of Maharashtra and Dabhol Power over what the government claims are "unaffordable" power tariffs. The dispute has unnerved foreign lenders. Tuesday, the Maharashtra State Electricity Board stopped buying power from the two-year-old Dabhol plant. The move came five days after the MSEB told DPC that it was canceling the 1995 Power Purchasing Agreement between the two parties that sets electricity prices. MSEB officials said Wednesday that the Dabhol plant has stopped producing electricity. The news report however quoted a Dabhol Power official as saying that while the MSEB had stopped dispatch instructions, the plant continued to be operational. MSEB was Dabhol's only buyer. -By Muneeza Arjuman, Dow Jones Newswires; 91-11-461-9427; muneeza.arjuman@dowjones.com Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
