Vince Vincent Kaminski Managing Director - Research Enron Corp. 1400 Smith Street Room EB1962 Houston, TX 77002-7361 Phone: (713) 853 3848 Fax : (713) 646 2503 E-mail: vkamins@enron.com Sid Carlson <scarlson@compusmart.ab.ca< on 02/02/2001 12:10:47 PM To: vince.j.kaminski@enron.com cc: Subject: Electricity price volatility Dear Dr. Kaminski, I'm an economist (M.Sc., Caltech, Ph.D., Iowa) who has been working for the Alberta government for the last seven years on electricity deregulation in Alberta, Canada. I have been looking for research papers on the measurement and causes of price volatility in electricity markets. As a policy maker, I am interested in the implications of government policy decisions on price volatility. As an economist who has had a hand in designing the electricity markets here, I am also interested in how the design of electricity markets and the associated institutions affect price volatility. I've found two references to a seminar talk you have given recently at Berkeley and Carnegie Mellon called "Volatility of Electricity Prices - Measurement and Analysis of Underlying Causes." (I've also found a multitude of references to other work that you've done, but this seemed closest to what I'm looking for.) Was there a paper associated with your talk that I could get a copy of? Any help you can give me on finding information on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Sid Carlson Sid Carlson, M.Sc., Ph.D. Senior Economist, Electricity Branch Alberta Department of Resource Development phone: (780) 422-5158 or (780) 452-4839 fax: (780) 427-8065 e-mail: scarlson@compusmart.ab.ca
