I regret to announce that Greg Wolfe has tendered his resignation. His last day with Enron was yesterday. Greg has made tremendous contributions to Enron over the last eight years and this office in the last four years. I am sorry to see him go. Greg has not yet indicated what he will be doing next, although he has told me that he intends to stay in Portland. Please join me in wishing Greg well in his future endeavors. Tim Belden

Dear Traders, I spoke with Don at Public Service Company of New Mexico again today regarding the Schedule 9 Loss Compensation Service charges. He re-confirmed that the market price that is part of the Schedule 9 equation (Loss Compensation Service = # MW wheeled x market price x 3%) is a market price that he obtains from his marketers. I re-confirmed that his 'marketers' are his traders, though I do not know whether these are Long Term, Cash, or Real-Time Traders. He is going to talk to his traders to find out where this price came from. I brought up the point that there has been a price cap of $91.87 in the west and asked that he bring that point forward in his discussions. He should respond to me on Monday 8-20-01, on which day the bill is due. I will keep you posted on my findings. Virginia

All, The viewing of the All Employee Meeting today was not a complete success despite our successful testing yesterday. There were several IT teams (your local IT Support as well as Houston based Web and Network teams) that worked together to troubleshoot the audio and video feeds while watching the performance of your sites communication links with Houston to ensure your trading business was not compromised. I would like to provide you some history as well as go forward actions to provide better audio/video streaming services. You may have noticed that the medium for viewing the meeting has changed from the previous IPTV application to a web based application. This new medium has been in the development stages with the production target of October 2001 which was set by business. Last Friday business approached IT infrastructure and advised that there would be an All Employee Meeting on Aug, 16 (today). This didn't provide much time for preparation and testing. During the troubleshooting for each of your sites, the Network team (Scott Shishido and George Nguyen) were able to determine some but not all causes to the poor performance. I will be meeting with the Web (Edward Ray) and Network (Steve Hardy and Scott Shishido) teams to determine what the action plan is for resolving the performance issues. My understanding is that the meeting will be available for viewing if you wish to do so. I will be communicating to you when your site will be able to view this replay of the All Employee Meeting. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Regards,

It is with regret that I have to announce that Jeff Skilling is leaving Enron. Today, the Board of Directors accepted his resignation as President and CEO of Enron. Jeff is resigning for personal reasons and his decision is voluntary. I regret his decision, but I accept and understand it. I have worked closely with Jeff for more than 15 years, including 11 here at Enron, and have had few, if any, professional relationships that I value more. I am pleased to say that he has agreed to enter into a consulting arrangement with the company to advise me and the Board of Directors. Now it's time to look forward. With Jeff leaving, the Board has asked me to resume the responsibilities of President and CEO in addition to my role as Chairman of the Board. I have agreed. I want to assure you that I have never felt better about the prospects for the company. All of you know that our stock price has suffered substantially over the last few months. One of my top priorities will be to restore a significant amount of the stock value we have lost as soon as possible. Our performance has never been stronger; our business model has never been more robust; our growth has never been more certain; and most importantly, we have never had a better nor deeper pool of talent throughout the company. We have the finest organization in American business today. Together, we will make Enron the world's leading company. On Thursday at 10:00 a.m. Houston time, we will hold an all employee meeting at the Hyatt. We will broadcast the meeting to our employees around the world where technically available, and I look forward to seeing many of you there.

I would like to talk to you about the Rockies, and just how you see it progressing. I need to do some workload mitigation stuff, and wanted to pick your brain this afternoon if I can. I am starting Susie taking care of Midway as of tomorrow, and am thinking about moving the Mead responsiblities to the COB scheduler because COB is so small.

Good morning Just wanted to give you a heads up that WTC voicemail was down for a short time this morning. The link between WTC and the Qwest CO was down. The link was reset and it seems to be back-up and working. What happens when the link goes down: 1) The message waiting light won't go off after you retrieve your messages. If this occurs just have the person lift the handset, hear dial tone and dial, 113. This will clear the message waiting light. 2) The message waiting light is not on and you could have a message. Have employees check their mailbox just in case they are expecting critical messages. The next voicemail will activate the message waiting light. Please let me know if you have questions or concerns.

Heather, Do you know : If there are 3 strips in a deal that cover different time periods, say April 1 for a strip, April 2 for another strip, and April 3 - 31 for a third strip....if we plug in a price on only one of the strips, are the days from the other strips going to get valued properly? In the instances that we have had, all three strips were filled in and Risk valued the deal properly; it was just CARP and UNIFY that were reading three times the MW Month amount, which I guess in the end is a simple problem. Holden brought up this point and I wonder the same...do you know? Virginia

I will be holding an information session on the midyear PRC process. The purpose of the information session is to provide an overview of the PRC process from selecting reviewers to final PRC meetings in Houston. New employees may find it useful as I will try to explain how the process works and will attempt to provide some useful background. People who have been here for a while may also find it useful. This year I am on the company-wide Performance Review Committee, so I have had the opportunity to provide input into the process and sit in on PRC meetings throughout the company. I will discuss changes to this year's PRC process and share my observations of how the system works throughout the company. Most importantly, I want to answer any questions that people have about the PRC process.
INVITATION: Wednesday, August 8, 2 p.m.-PRC Information Session
Mark, Tom, and Holden, In reference to the DPR impacts of $ 132,000 (WAPA) and $133,000 (SRP) that you were expecting, here is an explanation of why you will not be seeing that in your PMA's: The 2 deals listed below were put in as a MW month, each with 3 strips in the deal separating out April 1, April 2, and the rest of the month. The reason for the 3 strips was to catch the April 1 time change from PST to PDT. deal # 539126: 3 strips @ 2216 = 199,500 charge for the month in CARP (true value is - $66,500). deal # 538832: 3 strips @ 2180 = 196,200 charge for the month in CARP (true value is - $65,400) . Typically, I provide you with a report that tells you what $ amount to look for coming thru in your PMA's, according to the changes that I am making on the back end. You then see the change in DPR come thru on a PMA report that Risk provides for you. When these deals hit Settlements, we recognized that the CARP was calculating both deals at 3 times their monthly value (and since we are purchasing, that is a negative three times against your books). When the above + DPR impacts didn't come thru in your PMA's, we started looking at the deals to figure out why they didn't. Here is a discription of the Risk - Settlements process: Risk values a deal on the day of liquidation. Any intra-month changes, even if they happen after the day of flow, get trued up by Risk and changed in the DPR. Anything that gets changed after the end of the month, Settlements recognizes as a DPR variance and reports this to Risk and you see it affect your DPR as reported in the PMA report. So the question was: When it came to recognizing a variance in Settlements, why weren't we seeing a + amount back to your books for 2 of the strips that I zero'd out? Houston Settlements looked into it and were seeing that these deals were originally valued at ($66,500) and ($65,400), even though CARP was showing that they were calculating at ($199,500) and ($196,200) .... Heather Dunton and I did alot of searching for the answer and we found that: When Risk flashed these deals in April, they flashed them according to a single MW month charge. Regardless of how many strips there are, the deal is set up as a MW month and should, therefore, calculate as one single charge for the month. We found that CARP is reading these incorrectly and causing the confusion, (as I was seeing that the deals were calculating 3 times because that is how CARP and UNIFY were reading the deal). The IT people in Houston are now working on fixing that glitch. When it comes to DPR, your book originally recognized an impact of (66,500) and (65,400), which is correct. Since your April DPR was correct, you will not see an adjustment in your PMA's. I recognize that this is not gratification for the + DPR impact that you were expecting and I apologize for the confusion and mis-information that I gave you in my report. This has, however, helped us to hi-light a technical error that will save us alot of work in the future. Thanks for your patience while we figured this out. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks,
DPR on your PMA's
An old scam has surfaced recently with renewed vigor. The Nigerian-419 fraud letter, so called because it violates section 419 of Nigerian law, is sent in many variations, by surface and airmail as well as by fax and email. Generally the form it takes is to ask the unsuspecting victim to provide their bank account information in return for a promise to deposit a very large sum of money into that account under some pretext. Employees should be advised that any information given will be used to further promote the scam through the emptying out of bank accounts, counterfeit and forged checks being written against the accounts, and for other illegal purposes. If you receive what you believe to be one of these letters, forward it to Mike Hicks (Michael.Hicks@enron.com). Corporate Security maintains a file on them, and works with the US Secret Service to reduce the number of letters received by our employees. For more information on these letters, please email or call Mike at (713) 853-6198.

We regret to announce that Amy Fitzpatrick will be leaving Enron's Portland office in September. Amy's husband, Simon, has accepted a job in New Jersey, and it didn't make sense for them to "commute" coast to coast. Amy will continue to work here for the next month or two to hire her replacement and to make sure that her responsibilities have been completely handed over. We really appreciate having such long lead time to effectuate this transition. Amy has made tremendous contributions to our office over the last 14 months. We really appreciate her efforts. We realize that Amy has become integral to the efficient operation of the Portland office and want to make her transition as smooth as possible. If you have any concerns or wish to get any issues on to the "transition list" please let your manager and/or Amy know. Tim Belden and Chris Calger

The approval process initiated in 1998 for all meeting and event expenditures in excess of $5,000 has enabled Enron Americas to better assess the business value of events, accurately track our activities and save money. These events include customer and employee meetings, and trade shows. EA has made some modifications to the process, which are described in this memo. The $5,000 threshold remains in effect for all customer events. However, the threshold for approval for employee meetings and events has been lowered to $500, and some additional requirements must be met prior to approval. Please be sure to follow the procedures described below for all meetings and events, so we can continue to successfully manage these events. 1) Prior to making any commitments to customers or vendors, all customer events with anticipated costs in excess of $5,000, and all employee events with anticipated costs in excess of $500 must be reviewed by the Enron Americas Public Relations department and approved by the Enron Americas Office of the Chairman 2) The PR department will handle the site search and hotel contract negotiations for all such events. Once this is completed, the PR department will work with you to plan and produce your event in its entirety; or they can provide as much or as little assistance as you require. The PR department will be responsible for helping you achieve the best value for your program and EA. 3) A completed expenditure request form (see attached) and supporting documentation is required for each event. Employee meetings require a detailed agenda as part of the event documentation prior to approval. Please submit the completed expenditure request form and documentation to the PR department at EB 3642, or work with PR department employees to complete the form. 4) After PR review, the expenditure will be submitted to the EA Office of the Chairman for final approval. Additionally, the PR department can assist in the procurement of tickets for various local sporting events and concerts. If you have any questions regarding this process, would like assistance planning an event, or need tickets for a Houston event, please contact Dorie Hitchcock in the PR department at (713) 853-6978. Thank you for your cooperation.

We are 25 mws long HE 7-22 at palo verde in the real-time position manager. I printed a forward obligation report for the 20th and that report does not reflect this length. After checking every deal at PV for the 20th against the forward obligation report it appears that our deals have been entered correctly. I discussed this with Holden and he agrees there is no reason we should be long at PV for that day. Therefore, the correct position at PV for the 20th is flat. The length is false. If you are aware of any deals that may have caused the real-time position manager to reflect this length, please let me know. Thanks,

Per several conversations with Mirant (our upstream) and Pinwest (our downstream) the following situation occurred on July 19th between 2:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Deal #694398 $41.00 our purchase from Mirant Deal #693496 $40.75 our sale to Pinwest Mirant(G)sp15-Ciso(t)sp15/pv5#scem_sp15_pv-Mirant-Epmi-Pinwest-aps(t)pv/ww#gf-Pinwest Mirant was cut by the CISO per Dan at the Mirant Real-time group. He was unable to re-supply an upstream. Pinwest would not allow the schedule to flow on a real-time basis per Carla on the scheduling desk. Enron agreed to bookout out with Pinwest and bill LD's to Mirant. I spoke with Glen Ryan at Pinwest at about 3:30 to agree on a price at which Enron would buy back the power in order to bookout. He said it would have to be the purchase price which was $345.00. In a later conversation about 3:45, I told Pinwest that we would not agree to the purchase price of $345.00 and that the current market price was around $45.00 - $50.00 per mw hour. They would not agree to the current market price and will bill us L.D. 's.

Holden & Lisa - Per Holden, I've changed deal 630176 from a price of $170 to $197. Terms and reasons are as follows: 6/4/01 STSW buys EPE 49 mw/HLH The other side of this deal is a sale to El Paso for $204. Kathy questioned the invoice she received from Houston this month, because the breakdown of transmission costs and fees we had given her (regarding buy-resales done by your desk on 6/1, 6/2, and 6/4) amounted to a spread of $14.06. The deals we entered into our system, and subsequently billed El Paso for, amounted to spreads of $14.06 for 6/1, $11.06 for 6/2, and $34 for 6/4. To remedy this, and extend a gesture of apology for the mistake, we've changed our buy from El Paso on the 4th to a price of $197, leaving a spread of $7 to cover our transmission costs. I've explained this to Kathy at El Paso and Amy in Settlements, and wanted to give both of you a record of the change as well. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks,
June EPE Buy-Resales

1. When you buy from the imbalance(Services 2mw for HE 17-22) please make sure that you buy from the correct zone(i.e. if finals have sp load dec'd then the buy from the imbalance in enpower needs to be in sp). Day shift, assumed the ISO would make a buy from NP and for 3 hours they dec'd SP load. Even better if you know that you are going to buy from the imbalance then submit a schedule that is BALANCED, in this case they should have created a new load zone in SP under the Services book and inserted a -2 for HE 17-22. As always we don't want to buy from the imbalance but if all other options have been exhausted then at least submit your preferred zone to purchase from rather than leaving the ISO to roll the dice and force balance you how ever they want.

All, Tonight we are having the large 'TV' removed from the SE Corner of the floor and the one in the SW corner moved out of the walkway space. The removal of the large screen is due to how low it hangs and the hazard it presents to people walking in the area. Since we do not use that screen, and we do not have a good place to put it, we will store it until a suitable use is identified. The smaller screen will be move North and East about 3 feet to get it out of the walkway. Regards,

All We had 2 service outages today, the External Internet and Email both became unavailable at about 11:00 am today, service was restored in after about 15-20 minutes. The fact that both services went down at the same time is only coincidence. Below are the basic causes for the outages: The Internet outage was caused by an error in one of our Network Routers. The device was rebooted and service was restored. The Email outage was caused by a bug in Exchange that is remedied by rebooting the server. Sorry for the inconvenience these outages may have caused.

Hey Guys. The ISO cutting our off-peak imports from PV has been an ongoing problem. Now that we are doing congestion wheels again we can finally do something to avoid these cuts using congestion wheels. Normally the ISO will cut our Import and shift our load from NP15 (PGE1&2&3) across the path to relieve the congestion. If you submit a congestion wheel there cannot be $30 cong, thus they will not cut your schedule going in at PV. Instead of shifting your load the ISO will award your congestion wheel and everybody will be happy. It is important to make your wheel larger then your import to ensure that part of your import not getting cut. I would recommend to put in the max number of MW's you think you can buy in the North and get rid of in the Desert. Go big in the off-peak, we submitted 200MW wheels Saturday and I think its safe to do similar size most nights. Geir

We regret to announce that Rick Bergsieker has decided to leave Enron to pursue other interests. Rick has led our commercial activities in the Middle East for the past several years. Rick is a highly respected individual within the company as well as within the energy sector, and we will miss his contributions. With Rick's departure, we are realigning the Global LNG group into the following four separate functional areas: Americas Origination, European and Pacific Origination, New Asset Implementation and Trading and Logistics. These functional areas will report to Eric Gonzales who will be assuming lead responsibility for the Global LNG business unit. Within the Americas Origination effort, Doug Arnell will take the group leadership for activities within the Atlantic Basin. The priorities for Doug's group include the continued development of the Bahamas Terminal and the implementation of the Elba terminal agreement. The current teams focused on the VLNG project and North American West Coast project are also part of the Americas effort and will continue reporting directly to Eric. Clay Harris will expand his role to lead the European and Pacific Origination function from the London office. Reporting to Clay will be the existing Pacific Origination team as well as the members of the London based LNG team. The New Asset Implementation group will be led by Greg Curran. Greg's group will be focusing on the successful implementation of construction and initial operations of our LNG assets under development. The Trading and Logistics groups will continue reporting to Jonathan Whitehead. Please join us in wishing Rick well for the future, and congratulating Eric, Doug, Clay, and Greg on their new and expanded roles. Mike McConnell & Jeff Shankman

Several generators will have energy available for the weekend because day ahead prices did not reach their thresholds so they scheduled less than the amount available. If Real TIme prices do exceed their thresholds, please call them and buy their power and ramp them up. Sunday looks like it will happen for a good piece of the peak hours so focus on Sunday. You will need to inc their gen schedules. Saturday Delano: 15 MW Off Peak Only. Price Threshold $45. Pre-schedule 30 MW, increase to 45 Wheelabrator Martell 6 MW Off Peak Only. Price Threshold $50.

This will probably not occur as the ISO will not need their energy over the weekend, but if it does, we should relay these instructions to the generator, ramp them up and put a deal in the system as we would a supplemental. This should be a pass through for EPMI. Thanks

Pioneering International Coal Agreements Signed Enron has signed a five-year agreement with Spanish utility HidroElectrica = del Cantabrico for the import of at least 600,000 tonnes of steam coal per = annum in Enron's first long-term coal import deal into Spain. The agreemen= t gives Enron full optionality with regard to sourcing, timing and quantity= of coal supply, which will be delivered via the port of Gijon in northern = Spain and transported by rail and truck to a number of coal-fired power sta= tions, predominantly in the north of the country. Gijon itself could becom= e a trading hub for Spain's rapidly expanding coal market. "Spain is experi= encing strong demand growth for electricity generation and with an annual p= roduction of only 17 million tonnes of expensive, low-quality coal at its d= isposal, the country has a need for new, flexible sources of supply - so th= ere's lots of opportunity for us to extend the scope of our agreement," say= s Sam Grossman, Enron's coal group director who led the team which included= Katrina Bensadon and Janet Wood with support from the coal and freight tea= ms. In a separate agreement Enron's first foray into the US coal import market = is delivering a cargo of Colombian coal to Dynergy via the Mississippi and = two further cargoes of 45,000-60,000 tonnes to northeastern US utilities vi= a Charleston, south Carolina. With coal supplying the fuel for more than h= alf of the USA's power generation and the domestic coal market showing high= prices - the Nymex coal price has doubled over the past year - this is an = excellent time for Enron to help meet customer demand. "This is a classic = Enron deal exploiting optionality," says Sam Grossman. "We were able to re= direct one of our coal cargoes bound for Europe and find an alternative sou= rce to fulfill the European order." The import agreement is expected to en= courage other counterparties into the US coal import market. Congratulatio= ns to Sam, Peter Bradley, Lenny Hochschild and the Enron freight desk.

Organizational Announcement
As you should now be aware the preschedulers were unable to get all of their tags in by the tagging deadline on Friday. Cara has left a color coded sheet of delayed tags that the real time group must implement between 4 hours and 1 hour prior to the power flowing. Please take a look at this sheet when coming in on shift. Also, there are two tags that need special attention tomorrow (7/2) evening. Tag numbers 25843 and 25870 have been printed out and attached to Cara's list. These two tags were flowing through the CISO and needed to be checked out day ahead by PacifiCorp and the ISO. Unfortunately the ISO and PAC needed real tags not delayed tags in order to allow PACs schedule to flow. Therefore per my discussion with Dick Dowdy at PAC, he has created a tag showing the total of 35 MW coming out of his system (tag # 9152Y) in order to check out with the ISO. THE REAL TIME GROUP MUST DO THE FOLLOWING ON THE PAC TAGS: 1. send the delayed tags out prior to the times indicated on Cara's sheet but no sooner than 4 hrs prior to energy flow. 2. On the pacificorp tags referenced above, please call PAC after sending the delayed tags and tell them to kill their tag number 9152Y. 3. Call the ISO to inform them of the tag change and give them the delayed tag numbers. 4. call PSCO and inform them you have submitted the tags. Please make sure this is happens ! If this is not taken care of the schedule won't flow and Enron will be charged liquidated damages by PacifiCorp. If you have ANY questions regarding these tags or any other tags on Cara's list, do not hesitate to contact Cara, Bill, or myself on this matter. Cheers,

This sheet is as complete as possible, and I am worried about it due to the following circumstances; 1. The Dispatch sheet that comes to Real time was 25 MW flat on Sunday and LLH on Monday more than all the preschedules that were tagged today. 2. The Four Corners values on that dispatch sheet changed between 5:15 and 5:42, from 10 mw long to flat. I tried to resolve the four corners schedules with PSCO, who told me they did not have a purchase from EPE in July. I tried calling numerous people at their office and cell phone numbers and got forwarded to Enron each time. Lisa had a buy resale with PNM at four corners, but that booked out and did not seem to match the 10 long that I saw in the dispatch sheet. I spoke with Pete, who assured me that the sale to PSCO was good for the summer. 3. I still was unable to resolve the 25 mw difference between the tags and schedules that we knew, and what the dispatch sheet said we should have for preschedule. No EPE representative was available to tell me what they were expecting for the schedules, and I was referred by a Dispatch person to call on Saturday and speak to Carlos when he came in at 4 pm. I was very uncomfortable doing this, and so in my desperation called Roger at home, who after some discussion with Steve at his home confirmed that the extrat 25 flat Sunday and LLH Monday was a deal that is supposed to begin on July 3. I trust his assesment, and have removed the extra schedule from the sheet. Between all of the preschedulers today at Enron, we have spent over 6 hours dealing with the EPE schedules today. The sheet is as complete as I possibly can find justification for. Cara Semperger West Power Scheduling 503/464-3814
El Paso Schedule for 7/1 and 7/2 - Extremely Problematic
BEWARE - Effective today, we will be taking over BOTH - not just the standard ONE - phone lines for El Paso during off peak hours and on weekends. This means we'll get calls that would previously have been directed to Roger and Steve's cell phones. All calls will still ring in on the EL PASO line. Please read the e-mail in Lotus Notes titled "EPE MARKETING AVAILABILITY" for details. And let me know if you have questions. Thanks,

Preschedule had a heck-u-va day on Friday. Due to many problems, some of our tags were not completed until after the 3pm preschedule deadline. Apparently, some of our counterparties automatically deny late tags, though they may be corrections of tags made prior to the deadline. In any case, we have a list of tags that have been submitted as real-time tags and the schedules should be treated such.

I am pleased to announce the following changes in the Global Risk Management Operations organization: Bob Hall will lead operations for Enron Americas. Bob previously served as one of the business controllers for gas operations for Enron Americas, with direct responsibility for Gas Logistics and Volume Management. The leadership team reporting to Bob will include Peggy Hedstrom (Calgary Operations), Jeff Gossett ( U.S. Gas Risk and South America Operations), Stacey White (U.S. Power Risk), Leslie Reeves (U.S. Gas and Power Confirmations and Settlements), and Bob Superty (U.S. Gas Logistics). Brent Price will continue to lead Operations for Enron Global Markets and fulfill his dual role as Chief Accounting Officer for Enron Global Markets. I am very pleased to announce that Kevin Sweeney will lead Operations for Enron Industrial Markets. Kevin brings to his new role extensive risk and operations experience from stints in our Houston, London and Singapore offices. Kevin fills the role that was previously held by Brenda Herod, who will now report directly to Beth Apollo. Beth Apollo will be the Operations Project Manager for the assimilation of EES Wholesale. This will include Deal Capture, Risk Analysis, Confirmations, and Global Data functions which have been moved into EWS under Global Risk Management Operations. Successfully leveraging the infrastructure to support the EES business plan will also require close coordination with Gas Logistics, Settlements and the Operational Analysis (OA) process, and Beth will actively coordinate operations efforts with these teams and the commercial teams. I have asked Beth to project manage the effort to look for opportunities to streamline and improve systems, processes and controls, and to consider alignment, where it makes sense, with existing EWS processes. Reporting to Beth will be Scott Mills, with a focus on Deal Capture, Risk Analysis and Confirmations, and Brenda Herod, with a focus on invoicing control guidelines and reporting requirements. Beth will also continue to manage the Global Services function, which includes the consolidated DPR process and Global Operations Standards, led by Shona Wilson, and the Global Data function which is lead by James Scribner. Mike Jordan will continue to lead operations for Enron Europe, working closely with me and other EWS operations leads to insure the proliferation of best operational practices worldwide for Enron. Thanks for your continued support especially in exploring and seizing commercial opportunities to strengthen our contributions to Enron.

There are no changes... There will be no substantial heat in California this week. In fact, temperatures wil actually average below normal for Monday-Wednesday before warming at the end of the week. Although there is some possibility of above to much above normal temperatures in California and the Desert Southwest, it seems more likely that at least a partial start to the monsoon thunderstorms will occur. Since the normal high is 104 in Phoenix, I would opt for 1-2 degrees above normal as an average for the week. The Pacific Northwest will see below normal temperatures for the next 10-14 days on average. Above normal precipitation for the time of year... Dave

Bill; Spoke to Mike Cashell again this morning. If you remember when we met with him this Spring, he mentioned that Idaho Power had the right to demand energy and or wheel through MPC's system that could cause them to be out-of-balance up to 25% of the time. Starting yesterday Idaho initiated this process. Mike has requested Idaho express their intentions on a preschedule basis where he in turn will notify you. Today (6/22) and throughout the weekend MPC plans to be in a deficit position. You might want to contact Mike (406) 497-4575 to work out a pre-notification process so as to help to identify "trends" so that our Real-Time group will be able to better anticipate MPC's needs. Thanks, John
MPC Energy Imbalance II
Bill; Mike Cashell (MPC's Transmission Mgr.) just phoned me concerned, beca= use MPC's Real-Time group requested EPMI purchase energy for them under our= existing Energy Imbalance structure, and was notified by our Real-Time gro= up that due to the newly implemented FERC price cap, we were have difficult= y securing any resources. Just to clarify things, we are settling MPC's Ch= oice customers Energy Imbalance position, and PP&L Montana has the right to= any length resulting from MPC's "domestic" load Energy Imbalance. In othe= r words MPC is settling two separate Energy Imbalance accounts, so during t= he hour they may be turning energy back to PP&L Montana, while at the same = time finding themselves short for the Choice loads. During the recent bull= ish pricing conditions, Choice customer were leaving themselves long, as of= late, MPC is experiencing the Choice customers doing the opposite, positio= ning themselves short. The net result is that MPC will most likely be expe= cting us to fill a short position from this point on, so I'd really like to= see what we can do to honor their requests, mindful of the favorable posit= ion we've enjoyed over the last several months. Let me know if you'd like t= o discuss this further, or better yet if you've got a workable solution to = the problem. In the meantime, thanks again to you and your staff for the o= utstanding performance thus far in dealing with MPC. John
