Excellent! This a great idea and perfect timing given the kind of things we
have lately been getting more and more involved in. I'll strongly encourage
our guys to attend. DF

Subject: Save the Date - August 25


Please plan to attend an in-house training session on an "Introduction to the
Electric Industry." Jim Crist, a lecturer with IGT is preparing a day-long
seminar customized to our interests and issues.

Here is my "top 4 list" on why GPG staff need to increase our understanding
of the electric industry.

First and foremost, gas-fired electric generation is the growth market for
gas pipelines. We need to get a sense of why and where generation is being
built and who the likely customers are. This involves understanding the
different between utility generation and merchant plants, the dynamics of
siting, understanding a little bit about how utilities plan and economically
justify generation investments.
Second, we need to understand electric utilities as customers. Who is the
customer these days -- the generator? Who should we be dealing with within
the utility organization. What types of load patterns should we expect
various types of electric players? What types of services do they need? We
also need to get a sense of how the timing of their processes
compare/contrast to our processes on the gas side.
Third, we need to understand the regulatory climate on the electric side and
the implications for electric generation demand growth. We need to
understand the state/federal jurisdictional issues. We need to learn about
the debates over ATC, TLR, locational marginal pricing, price caps, and
control areas. We need to understand how these issues fit into Enron's
position in support of restructuring the electric industry, unbundling
transmission, removing native load exceptions, and avoiding prices caps and
we need to understand how these debates affect GPG.
Fourth, we need to understand electric tariffs and practices, services and
OASIS because the FERC has started to insist on common rules between gas and
electric. The recent electric interconnection policy has now been applied on
the gas side. FERC is talking about imposing the RTO principles on
pipelines. And, we hear a lot of comparisons between OASIS and pipeline
EBBs. We want to learn how to take advantage of electric best practices
where it makes sense and on the flip side, know how to argue against the
imposition of electric rules on our pipelines where there are legitimate
differences between gas and electric.

I've shared this list of interests with Jim Crist as he prepares a customized
seminar for us. Please feel free to email me with any other areas of
interest for the course. I will keep you posted on the specific location as
things progress. In the meantime, please make sure to save the date!
Please pass this notice along to others in your organization that may be
interested.
