Judge orders Enron to deliver electricity to universities SAN FRANCISCO -- Saying that Enron Energy Systems Inc. may be in breach of contract, a federal judge Wednesday ordered the Houston company to abide by its agreement to sell cheap power to the state's public universities.
dev33
Enron was attempting to get out of delivering power for the final year of a four-year deal with the California State University and University of California systems.
dev33
Enron, which buys power from producers and sells it on the market, said the contract would cost the energy concern $12 million a month because of skyrocketing wholesale power prices.
dev33
Enron said the state should free Enron from its obligation and taxpayers should pick up the tab.
dev33
"It's our economic interest to provide a service with the least amount of dollars we can provide it for," Enron attorney A. William Urquhart said.
dev33
He later described the case as being "all about money. It's all about money."
dev33
Enron said it would file an emergency appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco to overturn U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton's ruling in the suit brought by the state's two university systems.
dev33
Appearing in federal court, state Attorney General Bill Lockyer argued that Enron wants out of the contract so it can engage in a "marketing game" with the universities' promised power and sell it on the open market for 10 times more than what the electricity cost Enron.
dev33
He said lawmakers may have "left the keys in the car" when they approved California's failed energy deregulation scheme that has prompted the energy crisis, "But it is still theft to steal the car."
dev33
The judge issued a temporary injunction against Enron, forcing it to continue providing service as the suit brought by the universities proceeds.
dev33
When the judge issued the order, she also said there is a likelihood Enron will lose the suit.
dev33
"I am persuaded, in the end, there is a very strong likelihood of success on the breach of contract claim," the judge said.

UC's annual electric bill is about $87 million and its natural gas bill is about $26 million.
dev33
CSU annually pays about $40 million for electricity and $20 million for natural gas.

The case is UC Regents vs. Enron Energy Systems Inc., 01-1006.

You got it.
dev33
I'll put my thinking cap on and start pondering.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
This seems principally to be a "help Davis now" sort of exercise, but perhaps there's a business opportunity in it for EES.
dev33
Thoughts?
dev33
If you need me to, I can do it.
dev33
what day you planning on golfing?
dev33
nope, but prentice has informed me that we need to be at david and nina's (i think around 4 pm) on sunday.
dev33
so we could either play at 9 on sunday, or in the afternoon on saturday (say 2 pm?).
dev33
your call.
dev33
Wow.
dev33
That's fascinating.
dev33
Sounds neat.
dev33
I would be very concerned, though, given the current environment about having us listed as a sponsor.
dev33
In short, I would recommend against sponsoring, at least at this point.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Thanks very much.
dev33
And, yes, I did get a haircut.
dev33
She cut a TON off.
dev33
doesn't look like it at this point.

I am free at 3:30 on Thursday at my desk.

I am changing the way the curve is generated starting in Jan 2004 to better replicate seasonal fundamentals.
dev34
There are convincing arguments as to why the summer/winter spreads should tighten over time.
dev34
However, in the previous methodology they blew out.
dev34
For instance summer/winter in Cal 3 was .232 while Cal 10 was .256.
dev34
I have added a seasonality dampening function that both contracts the summer/winter spread and applies a premium to the electric load demand months of July and August over time.
dev34
The formula for the curve remains the same except for a premium lookup for the month as well as for the year.
dev34
These premiums are as follows: Jan -.008 Feb -.004 Mar -.001 Apr .002 May .003 Jun .004 Jul .004 Aug .004 Oct .002 Nov -.003 Dec -.006 These premiums start in Jan 2004 On Wednesday Jan 2003 settled 2.959, the 3/4 spread was marked at .0375, the 4/5 spread was marked at .0475.
dev34
In the old methodology In the new methodology The only change in the formula is from: Month x = Month (x- 1 year) + lookup on year on year table to Month x = Month (x- 1 year) + lookup on year on year table + lookup on month premium table The seasonality premiums will change over time and I will let you know when I change them
dev34
call me when you get this
dev34
i am free to talk this afternoon if you want
dev34
Please approve.

Andy: This past weekend we released a new version of the EOL software that, unfortunately, had a bug.
dev34
The effect was to lengthen the time delay between numbers changing and when they would show up on the internet to an unacceptable level that increased the number of failed trades.
dev34
We made the decision to take some of the more volatile products temporarily offline until the fix could be made.
dev34
I do not anticipate this to be a concern going forward.
dev34
Thanks for the feedback.

Dutch: The increase in position and subsequent position limit violation was due to two factors.
dev34
First, a long position was moved into the long-term exotics book due to the nature of the position.
dev34
I am currently using the ltx to hold longer-term strategic positions.
dev34
The large increase in position is a reflection of my view of the market.
dev34
Second, a large customer transaction originated by Fred Lagrasta's group was transacted at the end of the day Monday and was not able to be hedged until this morning.
dev34
Hence a large position increase occurred for yesterday's position and a corresponding decrease occurred today.
dev34
John
dev34
Thanks for taking me in last night.
dev34
Sorry about being drunk and stinky.
dev34
My cab, that we called at 6:10, showed up at 7:02.
dev34
I was so pissed.
dev34
Andy: Just a couple of quick items that need to be addressed.
dev34
First, what happens if the delta of the option is greater than the size of the hedge offered on EOL?
