Since FERCers tell me they know Enron's position, and ask what are others' concerns -- this approach has proven successful in the past. I believe this is consistent with what we discussed this morning. The next group meeting is May 1. Suggestions are appreciated. Call if you have questions. 202.466.9150.

Hope you can join us. If not, can you please give me a buzz so that we don't sit around waiting for you? Thanks.

(Thank < you to Mary and Larry for the scenarios.) This draft, once finalized, is < what we will send to FERC for their consideration. I've typed in some < questions I have about this draft. I'd like for us to give this draft a < careful editing review. See you tomorrow! KAT < < __________________________________________________________________________ < _________________ < < MODULE 1 -- Energy Business Basics [Will the word "basics" imply a < beginner level presentation and attract lower level staff? Alternative: < Energy Business Decision-making or Conducting Business in a Competitive < Energy Market] < < Purpose: This module will provide an understanding of a business day in < the energy market from the perspectives of different types of market < participants. < < Section 1: NYMEX will open with a general presentation on properly < functioning markets. Various market participants (e.g., a power marketer, < an independent energy producer, a generation-only IOU, a < transmission/distribution-only IOU, an industrial customer) will follow < with short presentations on their own experiences in conducting business < in the competitive market. Topics addressed will include: < < * How markets mature and function < * How prices are set and efficient, low-cost options are identified < * Comparison between "organized" markets and freely formed markets < * Distinguishing market signals, market design flaws, and competitive < failures < * Dealing with the mechanics (ATC/TTC, TLRs, scheduling and dispatch, < varying business practices) < * Roles for, and relationship between, RTOs and PXs < * Market monitoring and sanctions < < Section 2: Attendees will be given the opportunity to interact and make < business decisions as specific market participants under defined < circumstances. The scenario presented will be a peak day in June, with < higher than normal temperatures, across a region that includes ISOs and < non-ISOs [RTOs?]. Attendees will be assigned to one of a number of roles: < transmission owner within an ISO with LMP, generator with peaking < facilities in an ISO and also in regions without an ISO, marketer selling < power to customers in regions with an ISO and in regions without an ISO, < same marketer selling natural gas to peaking facilities [too < complicated?], utility serving native load in a non-ISO region, industrial < customer buying interruptible load. < < Section 3: (Optional) Attendees will be given a tour of the PG&E trading < floor in Bethesda. < < < MODULE 2 -- Generation and Transmission Planning Issues < < Purpose: This module would take a longer-term perspective of the needs < of, and participation in, energy markets. < < Section 1: Presentations by a range of market participants will address < topics such as: < < * Comparison of the natural monopoly v. competitive models for < transmission expansion < * Roles for, and relationships among, RTOs, TOs and other market < participants < * Federal/state interaction and siting difficulties < * Role of non-wires alternatives < * Market signals and incentives < * Predictability, prioritization, and comparability < * Timing requirements < < Section 2: A continuation of the Module 1 scenario will provide an < interactive opportunity for attendees. From the perspective of various < market participants, attendees will look back at the events of the model < peak day and answer questions such as: what signals did the market send; < what is needed for the market to work more efficiently; what is likely to < get built; and what are the impediments to getting the needed facilities < built?
