Agree that we should decline to participate. I also got a call from IEP
regarding the press conference and strongly encouraged them to signicantly diversify the group to include customers, consumer groups, and the like. Haven't heard about the meeting on the first with the governor's staff. Interesting that the administration is choosing to meet with folks on the day that the report is released. For the same reasons that we wouldn't want to be grouped with generators at a press conference, we may not want to be grouped with generators when the staff disseminates the report's words of wisdom. David Parquet@ECT 11/21/2000 06:50 PM To: Jeff Dasovich/NA/Enron@Enron, Mona L Petrochko/NA/Enron@Enron, Steven J Kean/NA/Enron@Enron, Susan J Mara/NA/Enron@ENRON, James D Steffes/NA/Enron@Enron cc: Subject: Press Conference Two things: 1. I called Smutney last week re this press conference and declined. I said that the idea is fine and we support it, but Enron does not want to participate in a press conference with other generators on this topic. 2. I just talked to Rob Lamkin of Southern who indicated that ten companies have gotten letters from Gov Davis addressed to "Dear CEO of Energy Company." Letter was to invite these companies to attend a meeting on Monday, December 1 in LA. Agenda and issues to follow, but Rob thought it had to do with the Gov's plan for CA due 12/1. Meeting will not be with Davis, but with his staff. Southern is deciding who to send. Reliant will send John Stout and Curtis Keebler. Williams got a letter, but no info re their rep. Rob was calling to see if we got a letter and, if we did, out thoughts re meeting before the Gov's meeting to discuss. I said we could have gotten a letter, but I did not know. ----- Forwarded by David Parquet/SF/ECT on 11/21/2000 04:38 PM ----- "Katie Kaplan" <kaplan@iepa.com< 11/21/2000 04:07 PM Please respond to kaplan To: <Jeff.Dasovich@enron.com<, <knorton@mcnallytemple.com<, "'John Stout for Reliant'" <john_h_stout@reliantenergy.com<, "'Curtis Keebler at Reliant'" <curtis_l_kebler@reliantenergy.com<, "'Julie @ Edson'" <jmball@ns.net<, "'Paula Hall-Collins'" <paula.hall-collins@williams.com<, "'Marty Wilson'" <mwilson@pstrategies.com<, "'Rob Lamkin'" <rllamkin@seiworldwide.com<, "Karen Edson" <kedson@ns.net<, "Bob Weisenmiller" <rbw@mrwassoc.com<, "Sue Mara" <smara@enron.com<, "Andy Brown" <abb@eslawfirm.com<, "B Brown Andy" <andybrwn@earthlink.net<, "Bob Escalante" <rescalante@riobravo-gm.com<, "Greg Blue" <gtbl@dynegy.com<, "Jack Pigott" <jackp@calpine.com<, "Jan Smutny-Jones" <smutny@iepa.com<, "Joe Ronan" <joer@calpine.com<, "Karen Denne" <kdenne@enron.com<, "Karen Edson" <kedson@ns.net<, "Kassandra Gough" <kgough@calpine.com<, "Kristin Vellandi" <kvellandi@pstrategies.com<, "Lynn Lednicky" <lale@dynegy.com<, "McNally Ray" <rmcnally@mcnallytemple.com<, "Paula Hall-Collins" <paula.hall-collins@williams.com<, "Richard Hyde" <rwhyde@duke-energy.com<, "Rob L.

IEP will be stressing the importance of the contracts as part of the solution for next summer. Several IEP members have offered (and have continued to offer) long-term fixed contracts at terms under the current retail rate freeze. We will indicate that the utilities have been hesitant to enter into these contracts due to the uncertain nature of the CPUC. We will point out that several different independent entities have agreed that long-term contracts are one of the key solutions and that the PUC should act immediately to set a benchmark and in so doing eliminate the reasonableness review that is the main barrier for IOU's not entering into large long-term fixed contracts. IEP is also currently working to include other market participants in the Press Conference. We would like as many IEP participants as possible at the conference to show that there are several companies who continue to be serious about long-term fixed price contracts. We have already received a couple of responses and if you are interested please let me know ASAP-no later than noon Wednesday- as we are sending out an advisory on Monday. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Katie Kaplan Manager of State Policy Affairs Independent Energy Producers Association (916) 448-9499
