We hope that 2001 is off to a great start for you! Last year, our law firm,
McDermott, Will & Emery hosted a conference for tax people in energy companies. We are again hosting a complimentary, full day Energy Tax Workshop on Tuesday, April 24, 2001, at the McDermott, Will & Emery offices in Chicago. Although April 2001 might seem like a long time away, please save the date! With the dramatic changes faced by electric utilities, we plan to focus this year on "Hot Tax Topics for Electric Utilities." As we did last year, we want to provide informative sessions to allow for the free flow of ideas among all of the participants. Topics will include: - Restructuring issues (including internal and external spins) - Nuclear decommissioning issues - Cross-border acquisitions (both inbound and outbound) - Energy trading and hedging activities in light of proposed amendments to the hedging regulations Proposed additional sessions could include: - Generation disposition techniques - Synthetic generation mechanisms - Stranded asset securitizations - Regional transmission organizations - Tax issues raised by the California experience (such as NOL utilization, interest income on unpaid receivables, and tax-exempt financing for electricity purchasers). We are open to suggestions for interesting and timely topics. An important part of last year's conference was participation by a number of representative companies. As a result, please let us know if you are interested in serving as a panelist or moderator for any of the sessions. We have great ideas that we believe will make the workshop an exciting and worthwhile experience for all of us. We think it could be even better with your involvement. We know it will be beneficial with your participation and hope you will be able to join us. If you or someone else at your company is interested in attending the workshop please e-mail Shannon Buchanan at sbuchanan@mwe.com. Please let any one of us know what you think. We look forward to hearing from you.
