I haven't had a chance to study this yet, but I'd like you guys to take a
hard look at it and lets meet on Mon or Tues. I'll be in Houston ( I
think). Martha pls set up a meeting with these guys and I'll talk to you

Subject: Gallup Station - Demand Rebate



Hey Drew,

Sorry that we did not get to meet last week when you were in town. I have
pulled up some information on the project performance and wanted to share
with the group. I was very concerned by the comment that the project was on
a rate to cost TW an additional $1.0 million for the year because the demand
avoidance program was not in place. I do want to confirm that Arnold
Eisenstein at ET&S working on the development of the programming to support
TW's efforts to minimize demand expenses. It was my understanding during the
development of this project, that TW was targeting a 75% avoidance for an
annual basis. I offer the following details regarding the actual operation
of the station in 2000.

Peak load for 12,000 hp = 9,621 kw x 3 = 28,864.0 kw per Quarter

Actual Utilization
3rd Quarter 2000 % of Max 4th Quarter 2000 % of Max
kw - generation 22,684.8 78.6 17,779 61.6
kw - transmission 25,421.0 88.1 22,992 79.6

Target $'s @ 75% 99,142 75.0 73,480 75.0
Net Actual Rebate $'s 75,935 78.6 105,181 61.59
difference ($23,206) $31,702

Overall net for 2000 under Rate 21 appears to reflect that TW has saved
$8,496 above their target rebate of $170,622 (75% avoidance) for the 3rd and
4th quarters. In addition, ECS has made payment to TW under Rate 19 that
resulted in an additional $118,441 paid to TW. Note that ECS has proposed
to included the transmission demand in the Rebate process which is not
specifically addressed the Compression Service Agreement.


Currently TW has access to the web site that graphically displays the current
Tri-State generation load as well as several years of month by month
history. This access was conveyed to TW as soon as the confidentiality
agreement between TW, ECS and Tri-State was executed and delivered to ECS.
At this point, EE&CC (now under ET&S) was notified that the system access was
available to package the load monitoring programming. As I mentioned above,
that effort is underway.

I will be glad to meet and/or discuss these issues when you are available. I
will be travelling most of the next (2) weeks but you can reach me via email
or my
cell phone (713) 851-7703. Based on the information that I was able to pull
together, I just don't see the magnitude of dollars that seems to have TW
concerned.
I would like to discuss at your earliest convenience.

Thanks,
mk
