I will most likely not be able to attend. However, my comment relating to
this issue was a generalization of confidentiality clauses I've used on other
interconnect agreements and other contracts, including the "model"
interconnection agreement recently submitted to FERC by EPSA. In essence,
the issue is that the utility should not have the unilateral right to
disclose any information to anyone they want that is sent to them in
connection with a DG interconnection. This would include ownership, facility
output, markets for energy or capacity or ancillary sevices (if any) and
maintenance schedules (these schedules may be coincident with a retail
customer's facility maintenance schedule which itself may be confidential
information between the generator and retail customer). This information is
potentially competitive and should be held confidential. Potential wording
for a simplified confidentiality section would be as follows:

"Unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or other
provisions of law or as otherwise provided for in this Rule, the Electic
Provider shall hold in confidence any and all documents and information
furnished by the Electric Customer in connection with the interconnection,
provide however, that to the extent it is necessary for the the EP to release
or disclose such information to a third party in order to perform the EP's
obligation herein, EP shall advise said third party of the confidential
provisons of this Rule and use its best efforts to require said third party
to agree in writing to comply with such provisions."

Scott Tomashefsky is asking me to present our position on the confidentiality
clause in Rule 21 at the CEC Hearing on 4/25. Any thoughts. I hope to be able
to respond to him today.

Should an Enron rep be present to do so? Me or another?
Bob are you coming to Sacramento?

Bruno,

I was wondering if you would be willing to speak for 5-10 minutes on Tuesday
regarding Section 2.7 of the proposed Rule 21 language (confidentiality of
information)? I was hoping you could convey your concerns for the Committee.
We have also added language in the report stating the Energy Commission has
previously urged positions similar to Enron's at the CPUC, but the CPUC has
not accepted them.

Please let me know at your earliest convenience.

Scott
