VaR for total power has decreased from $41.9 M to $38.7M.
VaR for the west desk has decreased from $22.7 to $21 Decrease in var for the west desk is due partially to decrease in intra month vol curves (significant change in Aug component var for the NW-LT and NW-ST books) and decrease in overall short position.

Greetings from Amsterdam..... A few things that I have to follow up on from previous updates: The APB (All Points Bulletin) on Kevin Watler's bike was cancelled last month....and the reward went unclaimed.
He found the bike himself.
Amnesia?
Senility?
We'll know soon enough.
But on the other hand, I have had three bikes stolen in an eight week span.
So right now I have no bike, and it's pissing me off.
I thought I lived in a nice neighborhood, obviously I was sadly mistaken, Bike thieves are running rampant on the Keizersgracht!
Visitors Beware......
There has been a fair amount of drinking going on in Amsterdam this summer.....here are some highlights.... Doug, Kevin Watler and Tinhead left a club in Sweden got in a cab and ended up in Copenhagen, Denmark.
I'm pretty sure the cab driver ripped us off, but I was involved, so that shouldn't surprise anyone.
One plus...we saw a beautiful sunrise.
Simon left the Supper Club a few weeks ago and was later found by Watler laying on his back on a canal bridge and singing to himself....I wasn't there, but the rumor is he was singing, "It's Raining Men".
But you didn't hear that from me.... Three weeks ago most of the German Electricity Desk took out clients to the Okura Hotel for sushi.
We all brought dates, my date was not impressed, I'll tell you why.....for starters, we all got bombed on hot Sake.
After dinner we were started on cocktails.
We all decided to go to the Supper Club for some more drinks.
I got up to go to the bathroom before we left.
Unfortunately....I walked into a wall instead.
So surprisingly enough I got into the cab that was going to Keizersgracht 393, not the cab that was going to the Supper Club with Simon.
In hind sight I think I made the right call.....(see story above about Simon, same night!!!)
Eric Pierce has been having trouble riding his bike drunk this summer.
He recently has ridden into the tram tracks and flipped over his handle bars.
A stunt that should not be attempted stone cold sober, let alone under the influence of alcohol.....on a another occasion, he drove his bike into a wall.
Kathryn and I are discussing the possibility of putting training wheels on his bicycle....I'll let you know what we decide.
Speaking of bike riding....Kevin and Missy were riding back from a bar and it started pouring down rain, I mean pouring!
So they stopped by my apartment to get out of the rain, I was in Corsica but Eric and Katherine were there.
Apparently the four of them found the my robe and the guest robes and had a "Robe Party".
I'm hoping to hear the real story before I die......I'm not holding my breath.
Shockingly enough that was not the last party to be had at my apartment in my absence.... Missy and I cooked a dinner party for twelve people two weeks ago at my place.
I'm pretty sure everyone would agree that it was a huge success.
Only one little slip up....Missy and I forgot to serve our guests the green tea ice cream we made from scratch that afternoon.
But don't worry, we didn't forget to "meet" in the kitchen between courses and eat the ice cream ourselves......oh yeah, we planned that the whole time.
Anyway, I passed out at about midnight, from what I was told the party, ended at about 3:30 in the morning.
A very similar thing happened last Saturday night, but then again all of last week was a little out of control.
I'll leave last weeks stories (antics) for the next update, trust me, they are worth the wait....
I have an update from the human resources department.... Eric Pierce and Kathryn Adamson (engaged to be married) moved over here from New Zealand.
He is working on the French Desk and running the Continental Options Desk.
If anyone remembers, they are the couple I visited for New Year's Eve in New Zealand in 1997-1998.
Anyway, they are part of the Amsterdam Prebon Team now.... Also, I can't believe it, but I have MORE baby announcements.....Welcome to the world, Peter Travers, Madeline (my cousin Tammy's daughter), Alex Chandler, and the Halstead Twins (girls, I haven't heard their names yet)......I am very behind in the gifts department, I'm thinking I'll start sending the gifts as soon as the kids can thank me themselves.
Also, I just planned this today.......I am coming to New York for the Weekend of August 17th and 18th.
I have a croquet tournament on Saturday and Saturday night.
But since I never get to see everyone when I come home....I'm throwing a party Friday night.
I'm starting it early, so everyone with weekend plans can at least stop by, say hello, and split if they want to.
I'm throwing it at McFadden's (Elvis, email me right away please) and if I'm lucky we might just have the Nancy Luca Band there....!
For all that can make it, I'll be at McFadden's (42nd Street and 2nd Avenue) from about 4:30pm on....so please stop by, you won't regret it.
That's about it from Europe, I hope to see a lot of you one week from Friday....!

Mike - Both the options and the restricted stock vest 33.33% 1st, 2nd, and 3rd anniversary from grant date with a 5 year term.
Also, I have requested the change to your agreement on the retention payments.
Tim asked me to change the payment dates to the following: 4/1/02 4/1/03 4/1/04 He did not want to add any more to the signing payment per a conversation that he had with Lavo.
I hope this works for you.
Let me know if you need any more information!

Vesting Schedule of Options and Restricted Shares

We currently have $21.4 million in reserve for potential Northwest refunds.
$10 million currently sits in the LTCA book and $11.4 currently sits in the LTNW book.
During the summer, FERC initiated an investigation into the potential of unjust and unreasonable spot prices in the northwest from December of 2000 through June of 2001.
Seatlle City Light, Tacoma City Light, Eugene Water and Electric Board, and Sacramento Municipal Utility District all filed claims at FERC for refunds from EPMI.
The claims totaled close to $100 million.
However, many of these claims were, on their face, spurious.
For example, Eugene Water and Electric Board filed for refund of forward purchases which was clearly outside the scope of FERC's proceeding.
We hired consultants from Charles River Associates (CRA) to help us with this process.
One of their tasks was to apply the CAISO competitive benchmark pricing methodology to the Northwest market.
That is, CRA attempted to reverse engineer the CAISO's methodology in order to estimate our Northwest risk.
I was informed by our litigation team that EPMI's realistic potential exposure using this methodology was roughly $30 million.
We decided to reserve roughly 2/3 of this amount which came to about $21 million.
In September a FERC Adminitrative Law Judge heard the case and submitted a draft decision to the FERC.
The draft decision recommended against any refunds.
This draft decision is supposed to come in front of the FERC commissioners for approval before the end of the year.
If this draft decision is approved, it would be appropriate to remove these reserves.

In reviewing Jeff Shields' expenses for the previous two months, I have found two travel itineraries which came without prices on them.
Jessica and Mollie have both checked their e-mail and confirmed that the only documents sent did not detail the cost of the trip.
The prices I need are from the following trips: Itinerary only - August 28, Alaska Airlines, PDX-SeaTac-Helena-SeaTac-PDX, Reservation # AS/WXOKNK (reservation made August 24) Itinerary only - Sept. 6 to 7, Delta Airlines, PDX-Salt Lake City-Spokane-PDX, Reservation # DL/V2KIC3 (reservation made September 6) Thank you so much for your time.

A heads up - The Forward Obligation report for 3/28 will show Short Term Northwest with a 50 MWh short position off-peak at NP-15.
This is due to an option that Sean and Diana decided not to exercise.
Thought that might clear up at least one of the many discrepancies we may find on that report..... Kate

Forward Ob explained variance 3/28

Please accept my apologies for this worksheet's absence yesterday.
It was undergoing cosmetic improvements to more accurately represent the EES-EPMI position.
Note two new column headings as of 3/27 - "Transmission" and "Other EnPower" deals.
Also, a change has been made to the SP-15 volumes in the 3/2 sheet.
This change was made per Daniel Kang at EES and Chris Foster at EPMI.
And as always, feel free to contact me with questions.
Thanks,

I wanted to check with you on this.
All these deals are entered in your book, and I know the Services desk typically does their own confirmations with counterparties.
However, these deals have comments in them that say they replace other deals.
In that case, would you like them confirmed by Houston?
Let me know.
Thanks,
|
Willamette confirms

Please note a change in EES reported load volume on 3/31, HE 6, SP-15.
The volume was incorrectly copied into the worksheet, but all EnPower deals reflect the correct number.
Also, the sheets for 3/30 and 3/31 now show those respective dates at the top of the page.
Please let me know if there are any questions.

Les - I received this list from the Confirms group this morning.
Looks like they need quite a few unit names for confirmation purposes.
But if I remember correctly, you didn't want these deals confirmed.
Please let me know when you get a chance, and I can go through and either change them to "no confirm" or add the unit names.
Thanks,

Good afternoon, IT Wizards - I'm curious about a feature on the new Forward Obligation Report.
It is now possible to run the report showing term, scheduled, or liquidated deals.
In the past I've always run the report showing term deals, then entered my desk-to-desk deals from those numbers.
Now I believe the report is designed to pull data from our scheduling database, so I'm wondering what the difference is between the term deal report and the scheduled deal report.
Each produce completely different numbers!
Please let me know when you get a chance.
Thanks,

Forward Obligation Report Question
|
I've attached the EES March Dailies spreadsheet.
It should reflect the latest volumes and hopefully will clear up some of the discrepancies we're seeing between EES and EPMI.
Also, I've autoscheduled the following deals in an attempt to feed them through to the CARP report.
Please let me know if you see the changes come through, Mark.
The autoscheduled deals are: 533090 - 3/1/01-3/31/01 535419 - 3/2/01 535420 - 3/2/01 566081 - 3/1/01-3/31/01 550208 - 3/15/01 The last deal I'm checking on is #535568 - in your spreadsheet you said EES saw the on peak hours totalling 1070.75 MWH and believed the on peak hours should actually total 1016.75 MWH.
Below are the volumes I see both in the EnPower deal and in the March Dailies spreadsheet.

Real Time EES Sheets 3/16 & 3/19

This morning I was notified by Confirms in Houston that one of the deal changes I made last night didn't come through on their side.
If you refer to the Deal Correction Report from yesterday, Mike Swerzbin did a deal with EES for Cal'03 that he mistakenly entered twice, once for Cal'03 (571920) and once for Cal'02 (571801).
He killed 571920 and kept 571801, but the trade was actually for Cal'03.
(Is everyone still with me?)
So I restored 571920 and killed 571801 to reverse what he had done.
But in my rush just before your calc last night I neglected to look at the volumes of the deal I was restoring, which incidently had been zeroed out, thus leaving Mike with no value for either of the deals.
I've reinstated the volumes in deal 571920 and added the error to today's deal correction report.
I just wanted to give you guys a heads up.
Please let me know if you have questions.
Thanks,
|
Deal Change - Revision of last night's Deal Correction Report
|
Evelyn - Here's the status of those year-long deals I changed last night.
Everything should look good now - 571920 now has 25 mwh and 571801 is killed.
Let me know if you still see something wrong.
Thanks,
|
571801/571920
|
This deal discrepancy seems to have a few of us stumped - so I'm referring it to all of you in hopes that we can solve this today.
Following are the terms of the deal: Short Term California buys Enron Energy Services Hours: HE 6-9 Delivery Point: SP-15 Term: 3/29/01 Price: $110 The deal was entered by Bert Meyers, a Real Time trader, on behalf of STCA.
It was extended for HE 9 through 22 at a price of $160.
In the spreadsheet Real Time sends to EES each day, it shows the deal as a sale at a price of $130, not a buy at a price of $160.
My first instinct was to simply modify the spreadsheet to match the deal in Enpower, but EES claims they see the price coming across as $130.
I'm reluctant to send any more incorrect information to EES, as we've already dealt with enough confusion over this matter.
Please take a look at the deal and its corresponding documents, and let me know which is the correct price.
Thanks for your help,

Employee Number

Because I'm not quite sure who to direct this request to, I'm e-mailing everyone I think might be involved in entering new counterparty names.
One of our mid-marketers has executed a deal with Sierra Pacific Holding Company, which is a new counterparty name and needs to be added as a choice in Enpower.
Please let me know if I've contacted the correct people, and if I've contacted the incorrect people.
(Sorry!)

New CTPY Name Request

I just heard from Samuel (thanks for your message!)
that I need to send Rhonda new counterparty information in order to get their names added to the system.
I called Rhonda, but it turns out she's out of the office for the first part of this week, and her voice mail referred me to Melissa.
(That's a short explanation of why I'm sending this info.
to all of you.)
Anyway, following is the information connected with the new counterparty name Chris Foster has requested:

New CTPY Request

Joanie!
I have been soooo busy lately and I'm starting to feel like I sold my soul to the Enron devil.
In fact, I have no time to be writing this e-mail right now, but I've been meaning to drop a line and catch up with you.
I also just ran into Brigdet (from the class below us at SMA) at lunch - apparently she's married to some baseball player.
Crazy!
So right away I had to contact my ever-realistic "single" friend to bring me some sanity.
I'm actually dating a guy right now, but it still gives me the chills to hear about anyone near my age walking down the toilet...I mean aisle.
Anyway, call me, or I'll call you tonight - let's dish!
I hope everything's great with you - I expect nothing less.
I have lots of interesting stories to tell about how and why I've come to the decision that I'm sending my roommates to rehab.
Love,
|
Work, work, work.....

Please let me know if this format is accessible and useful for you.
I know some of these deal changes aren't relevant to your calculation discrepancies, but I included everything just in case.
If you'd like it pared down or beefed up, don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks for your patience.

Atlantic Richfield Company 4/9/01
|
Looks like we might have to modify this name in EnPower after all - The dba on our master agreement is "Sierra Pacific Industries" with no "Inc." at the end.
I just spoke with Bob Ellery over at Sierra, and he confirmed that, although the company is a corporation, they never use "Inc." in their contracts.
Thus, our confirm letters would not match up with the master agreement because of those three pesky letters.
Just let me know if this causes a problem for either of you.
In case you'd like to reference it, the deal number we're attempting to modify is 573679 - it's a buy from Sierra done by Chris Foster on the 10th of April.
|
New CTPY Name - Sierra Pacific Industries
|
I've gone ahead and entered the counterparty name "Sierra Pacific Industries, Inc." in Chris Foster's deal #573679, in the interest of moving it along through the confirmation process.
(The deal was done on 4/6 and flowed on 4/10.)
I spoke with Bob Ellery (Sierra) yesterday and he seemed fine with the name we have in our system, although I'm sure he's not the final authority.
Then I spoke with the Confirms group today and they were ready to get the deal off of their new deal report.
So, since I haven't heard anything to the contrary, I changed the deal from it's "new counterparty" status.
Please let me know if this presents a problem for any of you.
Thanks,
|

Here's the latest I've heard from EES regarding ways in which we've managed to thoroughly confuse them.
I'm researching most of these questions, but as with last month, there are a few Real Time deals they don't see in the spreadsheet you guys send to them.
Would you mind checking this out when you have a minute (or despite the fact that you don't)?
If you revise anything, just let me know or e-mail it directly to Mark Confer and Brooklyn Couch.

582324 - Grays Harbor Paper Mill 582322 - Las Vegas Cogeneration I've added the unit names to the deals and reminded Les that they need to be in the comments section.
He was under the impression that the guideline sheet he sent out re: unit names spelled out the answers, but I took another look at it and it doesn't seem to really answer anything.
I've attached it just in case you don't have it anymore - but please let me know if this assists you guys in ANY way.
If it doesn't, I can probably get him to draw up something more useful.

Unit Contingent Deals

Judy - I just heard from Kim Hundl in Confirms that you had a discrepancy regarding a Short Term West Hourly deal entered for 4/4/01.
Deal 570892 was originally entered as a buy of 5 MW for hour ending 11.
Then the trader extended the deal, which is something Real Time traders do often, but when they do they rarely modify the deal in EnPower Deal Entry.
They simply make the change in Scheduling.
Because of that, unfortunately, you can only see the true total volume of the deal in our scheduling system.
At any rate, I've corrected the Real Time sheet for 4/4 to show the correct volumes for the correct hours; and I'm terribly sorry for the confusion.
Please feel free to call me or e-mail any questions you have regarding EPMI's coverage of EES's load.
I'm noticing that nine times out of ten, the discrepancies originate when Real Time is hurriedly sending spreadsheets to you guys and not making sure that they match the deals we have in EnPower.
Also, I was wondering if you could tell me what database or report you're looking at to tie out our deals with your records.
I think if I knew more about your perspective, I'd be able to help more efficiently.
Attached is the revised Real Time spreadsheet for 4/4.
And again, please call with questions.
Thanks,

Real Time Discrepancy - 570892

Chris Foster has requested that we set up a new broker - the Automated Power Exchange, in EnPower.
It is the same counterparty we already have in EnPower, with the same name and contact information.
Melissa, I believe you said we could pretty easily add the name in the broker list if it was the same as in the counterparty list, which Chris has verified it is.
Please let me know if you need anymore information.
Thanks,

Hi Rhonda - I was told you're the person to contact regarding changes in the Enpower counterparty list.
Several items are outdated or have gone through many different versions, and it's made somewhat of a confusing situation for the traders and others who do deal entry.
My sensitivity to this is heightened because I'm new to the Deal Control position here at the Portland West Desk, and I'm still getting used to which names we use and which we don't.
Monica Lande suggested I ask you about it, although she pointed out that if we've ever booked a deal under any of these counterparty names, then they need to stay in the system.
I'm wondering if there is any way to weed out some of those extra selections.
For example, Duke and El Paso both have five different names in the system; Arizona Public Service Company has become Pinnacle; and other names were just tests that are no longer used.
Please let me know whenever you have a free moment - this is certainly not an urgent request, and I completely understand if the list needs to stay as is.
Just checking.
Thanks,

Enpower: Counterparty Name Changes

I received a message today from one of the brokers at ED&F Mann, who said he was waiting on our payment for a Palo Verde futures contract for April.
I remember something like this happening last month, and I remember you two coming to the rescue, which is why I'm asking for your assistance.
If either of you get a chance on Monday, let's get together and figure out why this hasn't been paid, or maybe why it HAS been paid and not received.
I believe the deal in question is 531782 - Long Term Southwest buys from Avista for the month of April, price $196, trade date 2/26.
Doesn't this seem eerily reminiscent of the last contract that ED&F Mann didn't receive payment on?
Was it Avista that time too?
The contact at ED&F Mann is Martin, and his number is (212) 566-9329.
Just let me know when you have a moment to talk.
Thanks,

The invention of the french fry would result in an increased demand for potatoes - that is, the demand curve for potatoes would shift outward.
This would result in an increase in price, and a corresponding increase in supply.
As the supply curve comes up to meet the new, higher demand curve, we would actually see an increase in overall demand, supply, AND price.
The statement is wrong in assuming that increased supply equals a lower price.
2. a.
The value of one bottle of beer to me between points A and B is 8 bottles of soda.
b. I am therefore indifferent between bundles A and B, because they both allow me the same frequency of use and same level of satisfaction.
c. Bundle E must include about 216 bottles of soda in order to make me indifferent between it and bundle D. This follows from the logic that, when I have 100 bottles of soda, it would take about 8 more to make me give up one bottle of beer in the bundle.
Here I have 200 bottles of soda - I would need AT LEAST 8 bottles of soda to make me give up one more beer in another bundle with the same frequency of use.

Firstly, this legislation produces a disincentive for parents to travel with children on an airplane because it increases the already high costs associated with flying.
Add to this the somewhat more relaxed rules of the highway, and you might find more families taking road trips on their next vacation.
This is a potential secondary effect of the legislation which could actually increase injuries and fatalities - secondary because it would not be directly associated with injuries caused in airplane crashes, but because it would incent people to find other, possibly more dangerous, modes of transportation.
4.
Auto safety legislation puts constraints on auto makers to make cars as safe as possible while still maintaining a profit.
It also narrows consumers' choice sets when buying a new car.
A person buying a car in a country with no auto safety legislation might make auto safety a priority in their decision.
In a country indoctrinated by Nader's book, the choice between whether to buy a safe or unsafe car is taken away - all cars are made equally safe.
Because of this, car-buyers have less incentive to drive safely and more leeway to choose their car for other reasons.
Soon, safety in a car becomes a moot point and the car buyer is only concerned with a good price or other incentives.
Auto accidents increase because there is no longer an incentive to drive safely - legislation has made cars, in consumers' minds, indestructible.
If cars are indestructible, so then are the people in them.
5. a.
My demand curve shows that I would purchase 1 gallon of soda at a price just under $10.
So when I purchase 5 gallons at $5 a gallon, I am better of by $12.50.
b. I can purchase 3 more gallons of Diet Coke when it is priced at $3 a gallon than when it's priced at $5.
Therefore, I'm better off by $2.50 - a gain of 3 gallons times a decrease of $2 divided by 2. c. If Diet Coke was free, I'd consume up to 10 gallons of it before it wouldn't be worth it for me to consume anymore.
My consumer surplus is $50.
6. a.
A will sell chairs to B.
A can make 5 chairs in the time it takes him to build 1 table, while B can only build 3 in the time it takes him to build a table.
(A's chair-to-table time ratio is greater than B's - 1/2 to 1/3.)
b.
A will buy tables from C. C can make a table in only twice the amount of time it takes him to build a chair, while A takes five times as long to build a table than a chair.
(A's table-to-chair time ratio is greater than C's - 5 to 2.)
c. B will do neither.
Since B can make chairs faster (rate of 1/3 for B to 1/2 for C), B won't buy chairs from C. And because C can make tables faster (rate of 2 for C to 3 for B), B can't sell tables to C. 7. a.
The equilibrium price is $3.96.

After a little more digging, I've found that the deal NYMEX was referring to is the same one we dealt with a month ago.
I spoke with Tracy Green, one of our contacts at Avista, and she had been dealing with the same issue all day.
Apparently, when Avista first incorrectly reported that we hadn't made a payment, it set off a domino effect of doubts that seems to still be falling.
So NYMEX called EDF Mann, our futures clearing broker, today to assure that payment would be made today.

regarding Bloomberg's ability to accept deals with Pinnacle West (formerly Arizona Public Service Co.).
From now on, we'll enter ALL deals with Pinnacle, despite Bloomberg's slow response to the counterparty name change.
If you never knew that Bloomberg wasn't accepting confirms with the name Pinnacle on them, then disregard this message and continue as you were.

I've tried referring to your unit name list and entering them myself, but it looks like some delivery points correspond to more than one unit.

If you could add these unit names into the deals, or let me know what they are so I can enter them, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks for letting me know about the change in this deal.
I looked at the audit viewer, and it jogged my memory a bit.
Mike originally entered this deal as Q2 off peak; then he came over to me the next day and said it should have been Cal'03-Cal'04.
So we changed it, and it must have messed up the strips somehow.
Anyway, if it checks out with the broker, that sounds good enough for me.
Thanks again,

I notified Jim Fell and Terrell Gault of the delay in getting the documents to them, and Jim actually said he had both the Business Plan and the EIS and therefore didn't need either.
Hopefully the Business Plan will arrive from BPA today and I'll send it off to Terrell.
Also, I'm sorry about the errors on the place cards.
I was in a hurry to get them out to Sir Not-So-Speedy and overlooked those details.
I hope it didn't cause too much confusion.

Dave - I'm the new Deal Control staff person here in the Portland office, and I've been told you're the person to contact regarding counterparty match-ups for our futures deals this month.
The futures were done today, and if you could let me know of the corresponding counterparties as soon as you find out, that would be very helpful.
If there is anything I should know about your job or how we might help each other work better, please let me know.
Thanks a lot,

Enron Portland - Dec. Futures
|
Just wanted to keep you posted on this deal.
You called me earlier and said that the counterparty, Deseret, had recorded this deal with Enron buying.
We entered the deal with Enron selling.
I have Matt Motley, Kim Ward, and Tim Belden reviewing the tapes of Kim Ward's conversation with Desret last week, in which it is clear that she was selling to Deseret.
She's spoken with her contact there, who still disputes the deal and says we were buying.
They're all talking it over right now, and I'll let you know as soon as we make a decisiion on whether or not to change this deal.
Thanks for your patience,
|
465821
|
This deal finally got sorted out this morning.
I believe Kim Ward and Matt Motley worked out another deal with Deseret to offset their loss on this one.
But 465821 stands as Enron had it - we sell to Deseret.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.
Thanks,

I'm sorry if I confused you with my e-mail last night, but I think I might finally have the futures figured out.
Now, instead of one deal number with no counterparty name, we now have two deal numbers, two counterparties, and the correct number of MW in each.
Imagine that!
Here is the updated information: 467455 10 MW 175.00 Palo Verde Southern Company Energy Marketing Mark Watson 469098 50 MW 175.00 Palo Verde Sempra Energy Trading Chris Bennett I hope this makes more sense; please let me know if there's anything else I can do.

I'd like to introduce myself, as I'm sure we'll be in frequent contact in the coming weeks while I adjust to my new position at the Deal Control desk here in Portland.
Please feel free to call or e-mail me with questions, concerns, alerts, or suggestions - I'm eager to learn as much as I can about this job and take it in new directions.
So if there is anything I can do to make your jobs function more smoothly, let me know.
As a first order of business, thank you for the heads-up on the new version of Deal Entry.
A couple of our schedulers have been experiencing delayed efficiency with the program today - I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the new version or possibly our Terminal Server connection.
Just wanted to let you know, in case anyone else has the same experience.
I look forward to working with you, and again, feel free to call me anytime.
Thanks,

I was just told that we are being sent the Credit Watchlist Update via fax, in addition to the one you send me via e-mail every couple weeks or so.
Since I already receive and print out the list for all of our traders and mid-marketers, I thought it might cut down on some work for someone if they didn't have to fax it to us as well.
I don't know if that person is you, or if you might know who I can contact; in any case, Iwe don't need the watchlist faxed to the Portland office.
(Anything to take one extra step out of the day, right?)
Please let me know if I should contact somebody else.
Thanks so much,

Well, the origination tickets are up for grabs if you want them.
I have been informed by Mollie, Oh Holy Keeper of the Tickets, that you must, and I quote, "come over here and beg me" if you want to procure free seats to tonight's game.
The ball is now in your court.
I'd suggest driving down the middle, faking to the left, butt-kissing to the right, and taking it straight to the hole for a slam dunk.
Good luck!

Hey there Mr. Real Time.
Looks like you did a deal with Pacificorp on 11/28 - EPMI STCA buys 8 MW @ $60 for hour 2.
These eight silly little megawatts have unbalanced our book and driven the schedulers to near insanity.
No, just kidding.
But I think there should be a sale of 8 MW from Nevada to Mead on hour 2 somewhere in there.
I don't know - I'm not the expert, which is why I'm asking you.
Will you please let Lisa Gang or me know how to fix this.
I'm more than happy to do it, just wanted to double check with the man who created the mess in the first place.
(Kidding again.)

I've ordered the 1999 Annual Report for Scottish Power, as I noticed it was not in the company file.
It should be here tomorrow or Friday at the latest.
If you need the information sooner than that, I can download the report from the company's website, although the document is understandably bulky.
Please let me know if you'd like a print-out.
Also, if you'd like, I can talk to Sue about CASA's financial needs.
Mollie and I had discussed splitting the auction proceeds between two charities; in that way we can share the wealth and not inundate an organization with more than they can manage.
It's something to think about in case CASA doesn't need much help.

I realize this is late notice, but it just occurred to me that I never discussed my Christmas vacation plans with you when I transferred into Trading.
I have a family trip planned and paid for, so I hope it won't cause too much chaos if I'm gone.
I understand the tendency for people to feel lost and helpless without me.
I'm supposed to be in California with my dad on Dec. 22, then in Mexico with my mom from Dec. 26 to Jan. 2.
So I basically need to miss four days of work.
Again, I'm sorry to bring this to you so late, and I'd be glad to do any amount of work before or after, or even spend my holiday entering deals on the computer in some exotic Central American internet cafe.
I've heard they're great places to rage.
We can discuss the logistics when you're back in the office.
And by the way, the flame in this e-mail does not indicate anger, but rather is meant to be a festive, joyous, holiday-time explosion.

As you may have gathered by now, the West Origination Group has purchased season tickets to see the Portland Trail Blazers on their path to championship glory.
We have four seats which will be used primarily to entertain customers and foster outside business relationships.
Please look over the attached schedule and determine the game dates you would like to reserve.
Tickets will be distributed on a first-come first-serve basis, so be sure to plan as far in advance as possible.
Games that have not been reserved as of three days prior will be distributed internally or given to outside parties.
If you have any questions or would like to reserve tickets, please contact Blazer Command Central by e-mail, telephone, or in person.
Include the date of the games you would like to go to and the name of the customers you will be taking.

I wanted to introduce myself and let you know that the Portland West Desk has a new person in Deal Control.
I'm sure you know from working with Carla Hoffman that the position requires quite a bit of communication with your group regarding Enpower program development; so if there is anything I can do to facilitate the speed or success of your tasks, please let me know.
The first Enpower question I have is regarding the Enron Online Report.
Apparently Carla had requested a few changes, which were then put into a stage version of the program.
I'm wondering if we can get that report into production, and more importantly, if we can make a few more minor changes to it.
Right now I'm running reports by logging on as Carla, which is fine, but eventually we'd like to see the EOL report up and running for everyone to use.
I know that Carla and Nicolay have worked on it in the past, and I think it would be relevant to talk with them about issues and obstacles they found in the report.
I look forward to meeting you (via telephone or otherwise!).
Thanks,

I thought it might behoove you guys to know about this, even though I am unclear as to its meaning myself.
Basically, Cara made a change in scheduling that she did not change in Enpower, and it has to do with an ongoing deal being managed by the short and long term northwest desks.
In addition, Carla and I zeroed out a deal for Diana Scholtes in scheduling - 473338 - selling to Modesto at NP-15 for BOM on peak.
For some reason, she just needed it zeroed out for tomorrow, so we did not change the deal in deal entry.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

Here's the solution I came up with.
It will only take a few more minutes each day, but I think it will make the EOL summary more relevant.
Please let me know if this plan suits you - 1.
You will continue to receive the same EnPower/EOL summary, complete with EES sleeves.
If I take the EES deals out of this table, I have to adjust the total megawatts accordingly.
This could end up taking awhile, and I'm not sure the effect would be worth it.
Again, let me know if you agree, because I'd like this report to be as applicable as possible.
2.
I will run the EnPower deal count, excluding EES deals.
I'll compare this count to the original one to determine how many EES deals were done by each desk, then double that number - to account for both sides of the sleeve - and subtract.
I'll enter the altered numbers into the graph, which should produce a more accurate rendering of the day's activities.
I think I made it sound more complicated than it is.
Bottom line, this should solve the EES sleeve dilemma with little ado.
