Dear Larry, If you're like many Americans, your thoughts have been with friends and family more than ever in the past few weeks.
Wouldn't it be nice to spend Thanksgiving with the people you love?
Many airlines have slashed rates to encourage travelers to do just that.
Great deals are available on car rentals, too.
Vacation packages, hotel rates, even cruises are now being offered at unusually low rates.
We invite you to visit Travelocity to start planning your Thanksgiving getaway!

Dear Market Participants: Methodology used in developing the NYISO Virtual Bidding Credit Requirements: Day Ahead Market Hourly Zonal LBMP and Real Time Market Integrated Hourly Zonal LBMP values were used as the data source for developing the NYISO Virtual Bidding Credit Requirements.
These values are available on the NYISO web site.
The time period of June 1, 2001 through August 31, 2001 was used.
Peak hours are defined here as the hours of 6am (06:00) through and including 10pm (22:00).
The absolute value of the difference of the DAM and R/T price was calculated for each peak hour.
The 97th percentile of these series of prices was calculated for each zone.
The maximum of these zonal 97th percentiles was calculated to be $159.33.
The data manipulation and calculation was performed in MS Excel.
The attached spreadsheet contains the data used in the June 2001 to August 2001 calculations.
(See attached file: Virt Bidding Credit Req data.xls) Please contact the Customer Relations department with any questions.

ADesell@nyiso.com writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: As directed by FERC in its September 4, 2001 Order in docket ER01-2536-000, the NYISO has completed the calculation of the revenue neutral translation into Unforced Capacity terms of the In-City $105 cap applicable to Generators subject to market power mitigation measures.
In the September 4, 2001 Order, the Commission decided that the "translated in-city price cap is to be fixed at an amount determined on the day of the first in-city capacity auction under UCAP methodology" using data from the most recent 12-month period.
On the basis of Operating Data received by the NYISO, the Capacity-weighted EFORd for all Generators subject to market power mitigation measures for the 2001-2002 Winter Capability Period Auction is 7.04%.
Thus, the In-City cap under the UCAP market design, including the Capability Period Auction scheduled for October 1, 2001, is $112.95.

market_relations@nyiso.com writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: Dear Market Participants: The NYISO is pleased to inform you about the following enhancements to the public web server (www.nyiso.com), MIS and SPIDER that will be implemented on September 12, 2001.
Generation Supplier Issues Development Project: ?
Units may operate as Energy Limited Resources (ELR).
Qualifying units that have their schedules modified will NOT be subjected to any financial harm from the obligation to cover energy balancing charges.
?
Units may operate as Capacity Limited Resources (CLR).
Bid rules will be modified such that units may indicate an upper MW operating limit separate from the Upper Operating Limit (UOL).
SCUC, BME, and SCD will honor this limit under certain environmental and operating situations.
?
Payment rules for start-up will be modified.
Units will receive start-up payments for both the Day Ahead and Real-Time market if they are economically qualified and are scheduled in each market.
| NYISO - Software Release for September 12, 2001 |
Dear Market Participant, In the interest of not flooding the webmaster with constant changes (new PTIDs or new participant names) to the UCAP forms (Certification, Bid Forms, and Offer Forms), I will be updating the forms about once per month.
Since you will need a methodology to work around missing information, the new forms have codes that will allow you to enter undefined PTIDs and undefined new participants.
PTID number 999999 is used for a resource that has not been assigned a number.
NewLSE is used for a new Load Serving Entity that has not been assigned a "Registrant Name" NewSuppl is used for a new Supplier that has not been assigned a "Registrant Name" NOTE that if you use any of the above, you must describe your intentions in the comments cell of the form being submitted.
Other Changes ISOSu is the prefix for sales or purchases that occurred as a result of NYISO transactions during the supplemental process.
The supplemental process is implemented when there is insufficient UCAP available within a location and the NYISO must purchase UCAP from outside the location where the shortage has occurred to meet the NYCA reliability requirements.
PTID numbers to be used when identifying UCAP purchased through the NYISO auction have been assigned.
The PTID numbers range from 1 to 38 and are related to auctions or the supplemental processes.
For example, a participant who is selling UCAP that was previously purchased in the summer strip auction would enter PTID number 1 on the Offer form when selling into a subsequent ISO auction.
A list of PTID numbers is now available on the instruction page of the auction Offer forms.
Reminder When identifying an ISO auction, please remember that you must think in terms of the procurement period for the first auction month when the transaction took place.
For example, on May 15 (the auction for the upcoming months of June through October) 3MW were transacted for the months of June and August.
The auction reference that you will use for both the June and August transactions are ISOMoJun.
The same auction reference would be used if on May 15, the transactions were for August and September.
When completing the Certification Form, do not net transactions.
Lets say that you are awarded 25 MW from the Strip Auction and later move (purchase or sell) 5 MW through a bilateral.
Your entries on the form would show the 25 MW strip auction transaction on one line and your second line would show the 5 MW bilateral transaction.
You can not use a value of 20MW on one line.
Each and Every Month you must submit your certification form.
Regards,
| ICAP/UCAP forms |
JCharlton@nyiso.com writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: Attachment A of the Stage 2 ICAP Manual, as posted, states that on September 28, 2001 the NYISO will inform ICAP Suppliers of the amount of Unforced Capacity they are qualified to offer in the 2001-2002 Winter Capability Period.
It also states that LSEs will be notified of the final Unforced Capacity requirements ("UCR") for the upcoming Obligation Procurement Period.
Neither statement is correct and a revised Timeline is available for comment.
It will be discussed and finalized at the next ICAP Working Group Meeting on October 5.
After that October 5 meeting, the updated and corrected Timeline will be posted for approval at the October 25 BIC Meeting.
Providing firm final ICAP Supplier UCAP values or LSE UCRs was never feasible in this timeframe.
Preliminary LSE UCRs for November were provided to all LSEs on September 21.
Final LSE UCRs will be provided on October 9.
ICAP Suppliers can estimate their UCAP value based information already supplied.
All ICAP Suppliers will have a firm UCAP value for November prior to October 9, if there are no problems with the data submitted and in time to participate in the Monthly Auction to be conducted on October 11.
In the meantime, Suppliers can offer as much or as little UCAP for the Winter Capability Period strip auction as they expect to have available, recognizing that their EFORd values will be updated monthly during the Capability Period.
Recognize also that there will continue to be Monthly and Deficiency auctions conducted each month during the Capability Period, allowing any Supplier or LSE to clear any long or short postions.

barkerde@nmenergy.com writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: While being entertained at the latest OSS working group meeting, the limitation of being able to only schedule MIS 14 days in advance was brought up.
Once upon a time, when business rules and bidding rules were changing faster then tires on pit row, it was agreed to limit the entries to 14 days in order to avoid having long term deals fail (as per nameless NYISO guy).
Now that things have slowed down and bidders are more savvy and able to babysit their bids, we should be looking to expand the time frame for placing longer term bids in MIS.
An informed NYISO guy (different guy by the way) said it would be easy and using 4-5 man days to do.
I have talked to Ray Kinney (Chair of the S&P WG) and gave him the same song.
If your shop would like to see the MIS limit lifted, have your representative to the S&P WG help it along.
Please don't bother Ray directly or my TIE messages will rerouted to the Quilting Forum.

RBowers@nyiso.com writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: The settlements curently posted for September 28-Version 2 & 29-Version 1, 2001 are not accurate due to problems encountered with some data files for those dates.
As a result, some customer balancing energy is incorrect and residual adjustments for those dates are artificially inflated.
The NYISO will be re-running those billing dates as soon as it is feasible to do so.

Hello everyone, It was a tough week overall this week with several games going down as upsets.
College games were overall better than the pros this week.
No one correctly picked the Clemson victory over Georgia Tech.
Also no one picked New England over Indy, Cleveland over Jacksonville or Baltimore over Denver.
We have a 3 way tie heading into the Monday night game tonight, with Rick Broussard, Rob Benson and Todd DeCook still alive, all with 5 incorrect picks.
Rick picked San Francisco tonight with 37 total points scored, Rob picked San Fran with 41 points and Todd picked the Jets with 52 total points.
Therefore, it will first come down to who wins the game tonight, as if the Jets win, Todd will win it outright.
If the 49ers win, then it will come down to total points.
If there is 40 or more points scored, Rob will win, 38 or less, Rick will win, 39 there will be a tie.
We had 28 entries this week, therefore the prize is $56.
The following is who played this week with total incorrect picks next to each person's name.
Andy Rick Broussard 5 Rob Benson 5 Todd DeCook 5 Larry Jester 6 Steve Pan 7 Valerie Ramsower 7 Andy Pace 7 Bryce Schneider 7 Joe Brewer 8 Joe Quenet 8 Miguel Garcia 8 Larry Campbell 8 Don Baughman 9 Dave Ryan 9 Pat Hanse 9 Kayne Coulter 9 Daniel Jenkins 9 George Phillips 9 Gautam Gupta 9 Kevin Cline 10 Mark Symms 10 Michele Wilks 11 Jaime Gualy 11 Russell Ballato 11 Paul Broderick 12 Carter Ellis 12 Diana Allen 12 Ryan Williams 13

market_relations@nyiso.com writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: Dear Market Participants: On the November 1999 & December 1999 Transmission Customer Monthly Statements many customers have noted under the "Energy Settlement" section for "Forward Energy" a change in MW-Hrs with no associated change in dollar amounts.
This is because of a correction in the sign convention for the MW-Hrs related to external generation transactions (transactions from a proxy bus to the NYISO reference bus).
For all other types of transactions the NYISO charges customers the appropriate TUC or LBMP based on the MWs that flowed, but for external generation transactions, customers receive payments from the NYISO, and therefore these types of transactions have an opposite sign convention.
The dollars associated with the external generation transactions have always had the proper sign convention, but the MW-Hrs have not.
On 01/17/2000 this sign convention was corrected for all billing months going forward resulting in the correct MW-Hr values being reported from February 2000 to date.
However, November 1999 - January 2000 did not have the proper MW-Hrs reported on the Transmission Customer Monthly Statements.
With the latest settlement adjustments posted the MW-Hrs are being corrected with the proper sign convention.
Transmission Customers will see similar changes in their forward energy MW-Hrs for January 2000's settlement adjustment.

Dear Larry, With the upcoming Holidays, my thoughts turn to friends and family.
And for many of us, that leads to travel plans: Visiting relatives over Thanksgiving, heading or getting together with friends you haven't seen in awhile.
This past week, our members have been busy booking their fall and winter getaways.
We invite you to join them and experience some of the best travel opportunities in many years.
In my 30 years in the industry, I have never seen fares as low and flexible as they are now.
Today you can find some of the best prices on airfares, cars, hotels, vacations and cruises, and many with less restrictions than before - even for business travel.
We hope you take advantage of these great opportunities to reconnect with friends and family.
On behalf of all of us at Travelocity, we wish you happy holiday travels.
Sincerely

This group will focus on, among other things, managing Enron's exposures with bankrupt counterparties, working out credit solutions with distressed counterparties and standardizing our overall credit practices.
The initial members in this group have been drawn from Enron's numerous legal groups in order to gain a broader perspective.
Each of these members will provide support to this new group in addition to their current responsibilities.
Within RAC, Michael Tribolet will focus on distressed counterparties, in conjunction with Bill Bradford, who continues to manage the Credit Risk Management group.

Hello Everyone, We had a few upsets this week, with some games missed by quite a few people.
No one correctly picked Georgia defeating #7 Tennessee.
Oklahoma/TX game was mixed, many people missed Ohio St. beating Northwestern and the only non-top 25 game was mixed, with many people taking Southern Miss, as Memphis won 22-17.
In the pros, many people picked Atlanta over the Bears incorrectly, San Diego over Cleveland was missed by most people, Arizona upsetting the Eagles was not good for just about everyone, Seattle beating Jacksonville was not picked by most people and Tampa Bay defeating Green Bay was also missed by most.
Through all that, Joe Step did only get 5 incorrect picks and has won this weeks pool already.
I came close with 6 wrong, but we both have St. Louis tonight.
We had 33 entries this week, the most we've ever had, even back to last season, good job!!
Therefore Joe won $66.
Below is each person with the number of games they missed this week.

| Joint MSWG & S&PWG meeting, October 23, 2001 |
Hello everyone, More upsets in the college and pro games this week sent most people into double digit incorrect picks this week.
Most people missed the Washington St/Stanford game won by Washington St; most people missed the Kansas St/Texas Tech game, won by Texas Tech; most people missed the South Carolina/Arkansas game won by Arkansas; and everyone missed the Florida/Auburn game won by Auburn.
The Texas A&M/Colorado game was missed by a fair amount of people as well.
In the pros, quite a few people picked Baltimore to beat Green Bay, but Green Bay won; also Kansas City was picked by some people to beat Pittsburgh, however, the Steelers won; San Diego was picked by many people to beat the Patriots, however, New England won again; the Miami/Jets and Denver/Seattle games were missed by most people and even the Oakland/Indy game was commonly missed as well.
Through all that, I managed to get only 7 games wrong; Stanford, Kansas St, Florida, San Diego, Miami, Denver and Indianapolis.
I am in the lead currently with 7 missed games with Dallas tonight, while 2 people missed 8 games with Washington tonight.
The other 2 people still alive tonight are Steve Pan and Daniel Muschar.
If Dallas wins tonight, I will win outright, if Washington wins, then it will come down to total points scored.
I picked 31 total points, Steve picked 35 and Daniel 37.
Therefore, I will win with 32 or fewer pts scored, Steve and I will split with Washington and 33 pts.
and Steve will win with 34-35 points scored and tie with 36 pts.
Daniel will win with Washington and 37 or more total points scored.
I came in a close second place last week to Joe Step.
My picks were given as always to Todd or Dave on Friday for verification.
There were a record 34 people in the pool this week, therefore the prize is $68.
This coming week and next week there is a pro game on Thursday night because of the baseball playoffs.
Therefore, I will hand out the pools this week and next week on Tuesday and they will be due before I leave on THURSDAY afternoon.
Finally, here are the results of this past weekend's picks with the number missed by each person after their name.
Andy Andy Pace 7 Daniel Muschar 8 Steve Pan 8 Jason Kaniss 8 Paul Broderick 8 Rick Broussard 8 Bryce Schneider 9 Joe Step 9 Pat Hanse 9 Larry Campbell 9 Todd DeCook 9 Joe Brewer 10 Joe Quenet 10 Valerie Ramsower 10 Ryan Williams 10 Russell Ballato 10 Michele Wilks 10 Reagan Mathews 10 Miguel Garcia 11 Rob Benson 11 Paul Thomas 11 Jaime Gualy 11 Dean Laurent 11 Dave Ryan 11 Larry Jester 11 J.D.

Once again I must stress the importance of all of our Marketers being prepared for the transition to EDI.
Once the final transition has been made, Marketers who are not EDI compliant will not be able to do business in our territories.
If you wish to attend, please contact either John D'Aloia, PSC Staff or myself.

Hello Everyone, Well, this week was no doubt a tough week for us all picking the winners.
Approximately 10 of the NFL games were won by the underdogs this week.
Many people missed the Pittsburgh/Tampa Bay game, also the Carolina/Washington game, Baltimore/Cleveland, New England/Indy game; Atlanta/New Orleans, Denver/San Diego and Green Bay/Minnesota game.
Back on Thursday, Buffalo was only picked by one person over Jacksonville.
In the college games, just about everyone missed the North Carolina/Clemson game, while the Wisconsin/Illinois and USC/Notre Dame games were missed by about half the people.
Through all that, Larry Campbell is the current leader with only 7 wrong, while George Phillips is the only other person still in contention with 8 wrong.
Larry picked the Giants tonight with 39 total pts, while George picked the Eagles with 32 total points.
Therefore, if the Giants win, Larry will win outright, if the Eagles win and there is 36 or more total pts, then Larry will also win.
George will win with a Philly victory and 35 or fewer total points scored.
There were 31 entries this week, therefore the prize is $62.
There is another Thursday night NFL game this week, therefore we will make this week's picks due Thursday afternoon.
I did have a few requests for making each entry $3 this week, to increase the money you could win.
Therefore, please email me back if you would like to see the entry fee at $3 instead of $2.
If we get more than 20 people who would not mind a $1 increase in the entry fee for a bigger prize, then we will go with it.
I do not want to go more than $3 for now.
Therefore, if we can keep the 30-35 people each week, the prize will be closer to $100, instead of $60-70 dollars.
This is not my idea to have some people give up more money, but just a suggestion I got from a few people.
Below are the number of games missed by each person this week.
Andy Larry Campbell 7 George Phillips 8 Carter Ellis 8 Joe Brewer 9 Daniel Muschar 9 Andy Pace 9 Rob Benson 10 Valerie Ramsower 10 Daniel Jenkins 10 Ashish Mahajan 10 Miguel Garcia 11 Diana Allen 11 Thomas Lowell 11 Rick Broussard 11 Gautam Gupta 11 Kayne Coulter 11 Robert Vargas 12 Larry Jester 12 Mike Grubbs 12 Gerald Gilbert 12 Bryce Schneider 12 Todd DeCook 12 Dean Laurent 12 Joe Quenet 12 Steve Pan 12 Reagan Mathews 12 Joe Step 13 Jaime Gualy 13 Joe Capasso 13 Pat Hanse 14 Ryan Williams 14

RBowers@nyiso.com writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: Upon review of August 25, 2001 advisory billing statements you will observe significant balances for Transmission Customer Ancillary Services: Residual Adjustments.
This is due to the NYISO not receiving a file from ConEd that contains their sub-zonal load data.
When this file is not received for use in the billing process, the billing system sees the ConEd subzones with NO load in real time.
This causes all DAM LSE purchases and scheduled transaction energy with ConEd points of withdrawal to be sold back to the market in real time.
The deficiency in revenue is shared by all through the residual adjustment.
We have received the missing file and intend to rerun August 25th this evening.
The NYISO apologizes for any inconvenience caused by this problem.

Today FERC issued the following draft orders: NYISO TEP and Bid Cap (ER01-3001): Commission granted NYISO's request to extend the currently effective $1000/MWh Bid Caps on certain NYISO adminstered markets, and to extend its Temporary Extraordinary Procedures for Correcting Market Design Flaws and Addressing Transitional Abnormalities, until the Northeastern RTO is operational.
The Commission ordered NYISO to narrow the scope of the TEP, and to file tariff sheets doing so within 30 days.
NYISO proposed virtual bidding procedures (ER01-3009; ER01-3153): Tariff changes to implement virtual bidding were approved.
The changes would allow market participants to bid non-physical generation and load into the day-ahead market and settle the bids in the real-time market.
Also accepted were NYISOs Market Mitigation Measures to address gaming or market power strategies that might emerge as a result of the virtual bidding.
NYISO - Cost responsibility for new interconnections.
(ER01-2967): Tariff changes allocating cost responsibility for interconnection facilities.
The provisions allocate to developers 100% of the cost of facilities necessary to physically interconnect the project.
Additionally, developers are allocated the coswts for transmission system upgrades that would not have been made "but for" the interconnection, minus the cost of any facilities that the NYISO's regional plan dictates would have been necessary anyway for load growth and reliability purposes.
ISO-NE - Interim Bid Caps (ER01-3086): Commission approved extension of bid caps until the Northeastern RTO is operational.
Calpine v. ISO-NE (EL01-124): Commission granted complaint by Calpine and Mirant, finding that ISO-NE has amended Market Rule 5 to exclude external contracts from setting the energy clearing price, in violation of a Commission order.
If you need further information, please let me know.

market_relations@nyiso.com writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: Dear Market Participants, The NYISO is in the process of migrating the NYISO billing system to a new server.
Customer advisory billing statements for July 15 - 17 may not contain metered megawatthour data supplied by market meter authorities.
In the absence of metered megawatthour data, the billing process for Balancing Market settlements is performed using instantaneous integrated data from the NYISO Performance Tracking System.
Completion of this migration is anticipated for late evening of Wednesday, July 18.
Market Participants are asked to refrain from submitting billing inquiries for July 15-17 billings until further notice.
The NYISO will rerun the aforementioned billing dates as soon as the migration has been completed.
The NYISO will inform the market when this migration has been completed and indicate when rebillings for July 15-17 may be expected to be posted.
The NYISO apologizes for any inconveniences caused by this project.

Attention: Houston-based Outlook Users The Global Messaging Team is proud to announce that beginning today, Monday July 16th, Houston-based Enron employees that have been migrated to Outlook will be able to securely access their Enron Email from anywhere on the web.
This means that if you can get on to the Internet, you can access your Enron Email with Outlook Web Access (OWA) without having to dial in to Enron's network.
Please note that this is not available to those users still on Lotus Notes but will be available once they are migrated to Outlook.
Once on the Internet, type mail.enron.com in your browser address window and supply your Enron network logon credentials as username and password.
For example: Username: jdoe4 Password: ******** Once you log in, Outlook Web Access opens your Enron Email mailbox.
Outlook Web Access (OWA) allows you to send and receive mail, perform calendar tasks and manage your mail and contacts, as well as access your mailbox folders.
At this time, Public Folders are not accessible via OWA.
Please keep in mind that Outlook Web Access is a browser-based version of what you might use in the office, so the functionality may be slightly different and some features of Outlook 2000 may not be available at all.
Additionally, OWA is only supported using Internet Explorer 5.x only and not supported with Netscape.
Outlook Web Access is the standard Email package for connecting to your Enron mail from home, whether you are using an Enron-issued home PC, an Internet connection with your personal home PC, or your ClickAtHome PC.
We will not support the use of the full Outlook installation for home use.
Outlook Web Access for remote locations and European/APAC Enron sites is currently being addressed and will be available soon.
At this time, OWA is only available if your mailbox resides on a Houston mail server.
If you have any questions, please call: Resolution Center at x31411 or ETS Solutions Center at x54745

On Aug. 18, 2000, New Century Energies, Inc. and Northern States Power Company (NSP) merged and formed Xcel Energy Inc. As part of the merger, NSP transferred its existing utility operations that were being conducted directly by NSP at the parent company level to a newly formed subsidiary of Xcel Energy named Northern States Power Company.
Because of the merger, the record was overlayed in Global Counterparty and all history for Northern States Power Company is now under Xcel Energy.
A new Northern States Power Company record has been created in Global.
I will be moving all Xcel deals with a July 1, 2001 forward flow date to the newly created record for Northern States Power Company.
Xcel Energy will be inactivated in Enpower.
Please choose Northern States Power Company (NORTHERNST) for future deals with this counterparty.

market_relations@nyiso.com writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: Dear Market Participants, The NYISO is pleased to inform you about the following enhancements to the public web server (www.nyiso.com), MIS and SPIDER that will be implemented on July 31, 2001.
The Generation Supplier Issues development project will be completed with the following functionality being introduced into the NYISO markets (Please see published Technical Bulletins for full descriptions): Units will be able to operate as Energy Limited Resources (ELR).
Qualifying units whose schedules are modified will not be subjected to any financial harm from the obligation to cover energy balancing charges.
Units will be able to operate as Capacity Limited Resources (CLR).
Bid rules will be modified to allow units to indicate an upper MW limit, separate from the Upper Operating Limit (UOL), that will be honored in the scheduling horizon by SCUC, BME and SCD under certain environmental and operating situations.
Multiple response rates will be allowed.
This modification is intended to encourage units to be on dispatch by allowing units to move in response to price signals.
MIS will be modified to allow up to three response rate ranges to be entered as static data inputs.
Payment rules for start-up will be modified.
Payment rules for unforced energy replacement will be modified.
Changes to SCUC will be deployed to optimize Phase Angle Regulators (PARs) for evaluation of the Day Ahead Market (DAM).
The migration of web postings from InfoReports to MrXML will continue with the replacement of a number of reports with those generated using the new technology (please note that the structure of all migrated reports will be retained).

Enron's 2001 United Way Campaign officially kicks off on Monday, August 6.
The decision to focus this year's campaign on Building Houston's Future came directly from you, who rallied to help Houston recover from the flood damage caused by Tropical Storm Allison.
You have expressed a strong desire to continue assisting those in need until our city fully recovers.
In response, each Enron business unit has dedicated one Day of Caring to assist their adopted United Way agency.
Your challenge is to support your business unit by volunteering for various service projects.
As an added incentive, a little friendly competition between business units has been incorporated into the campaign.
Strive to be the business unit with the highest percentage of volunteers and you'll be recognized at the Appreciation Lunch on August 10th in Antioch Park.
Be on the lookout for more information about this campaign.
Your business unit Day of Caring representative will provide details about each project and coordinate team assignments.

"Depillo, Raymond V." <Raymond.Depillo@pseg.com> writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: A quick question on operations.
First, thank you to the ISO for updating the HAM prices.
Second - I have a question regarding dispatch.
I notice now that HAM prices in NY City are in excess of $1,000.
Which to me, given a bid cap, implies that everything capable of running will be dispatched.
Yet, when I look at the dispatcher notices, I see that both the Gowanus and Astoria CT blocks are running out of merit for the ISO (note - not local security).
How can this be - certainly the HAM prices indicate these units should be running for economics and setting price.
I hope we are not going to see the cost of these units in our uplift charges.
I look forward to a response from the ISO Ray

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.

Starting with the August 24, certification date please use the attached form.
Both Suppliers and LSEs will use the same form thus eliminating two forms for those who buy and sell ICAP.

Your password will be the same one you are currently using for bid and offer forms.
If you do not have a password, please contact Serena Barrett or myself and one will be issued to you.
It is important that you read the legal page in the workbook.
Please review the workbook spreadsheet "List Page" and find your company's 8 character registrant name.
If you do not find your company or the name of a company you do ICAP business with please contact me.
Starting with the winter strip auction your 8 character registrant name will also be your new registrant name for bid and offer forms.
Attached are three workbooks.
The one you will use monthly is blank and ready for use.
The other two were developed as examples to answer your basic questions.

On July 26, 2001, FERC issued an order conditionally approving the proposed tariff for the Neptune Project, which will consist of several thousand miles of undersea high-voltage direct current transmission systems connecting Main, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to the capacity-constrained markets of Maine, New York City, Long Island and Connecticut.
As a merchant transmission facility, Neptune proposed to assume all the risk of the the project.
It proposed rates effectively capped by market forces.
Conditions on the Commission's approval: - Neptune must join an RTO adjacent to or containing the geographic area of its proposed faciliteis and must place operational control of its facilities under the RTO.
- Service must be provided pursuant to the Order No 888 pro forma tariff (Commission denied Neptune's request for a waiver).
- Neptune cannot negotiate bilateral transactions prior to conducting its open season; it must make all capacity available solely through the open season process.
If you would like any further information, please let me know.

On 8/15/2001 Market Participants will have (2) new billing codes in their advisory statements.
(1) Code 238, which currently exists in the hrly advisory statement, but up until now it has been null.
Code 238 will now be 'Hrly LRR DAM Contract Bal Pmnt $'.
This will reflect dollars paid to a generator for DAM Contract Balancing that is Out-of-Merit for LRR.
Code 239 will reflect dollars paid to a generator for DAM Contract Balancing and is not Out-of-Merit for LRR.
The sum (238+239)=313, and 313 can be found under the "Power Supplier" section of the daily advisory statement.
(2) Code 314, this is a new addition that did not exist on the daily csv file before.
Code 314 is 'ELR DAM Contract Balancing Payment $'.
There is not an hrly code for ELR DAM Contract Balancing because it is a daily settlement, not an hrly settlement.
The funds that will be collected from the LSE's to pay for Code 313, and Code 314 will be collected through the residual adjustment codes 611 (hrly) and 813 (daily).
Version 14 of the data dictionary will reflect these new billing codes, and this will be found on the NYISO website under Grid Accounting & Settlements, just like the previous versions.
A new billing code mapping will also be available, and will be version 7, and can also be found under the Grid Accounting & Settlements section on the NYISO website.

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.

JSavitt@nyiso.com writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: Upon a subsequent reexamination of the data, the NYISO has determined that hour-beginning 7 for the 28 July 2001 real-time market was mistakenly not reserved.
There might have been a metering problem resulting in the passing of some incorrect data.
Consequently, the NYISO is now reserving hour-beginning 7 in the 28 July 2001 real-time market to verify the prices in that hour.
The hour will be corrected or released as soon as possible.
The NYISO apologizes for the inconvenience, but feels that it must reexamine that hour more thoroughly and institute corrections if necessary.
| Price Reservation for 28 July Real-Time Market |
On July 25, 2001, FERC issued an order approving PJM's modification of the deadline for reserving daily, firm point-to-point transmission service from noon on the second day prior to commencement of service to noon on the day prior to the commencement of service, effective June 18, 2001.
If you need further information, please let me know.
