I reviewed the ECAR filing. ECAR is requiring Enron to agree to use it as an
ECAR control area. I generally think it is a good filing and of importance because it is one of the first times that any reliability requirement of a region has been filed at FERC (ECAR asks FERC to balance commercial needs, reliability, equity, legal and policy objectives). The compensation between ECAR control areas is meant to discourage Cinergy-type stealing from the grid. It is mandatory for ECAR and ECAR invites other regions to participate. Inadvertant interchange (II) will be calculated over one hour. The NERC performance subcomm. will balance the II to establish long and short parties. Based on a proportional allocation, the short party will pay the long party its top incremental cost (highest purchase price or generation price for power) + 10% penalty. A $15/MW offset is used as the price of power repaid in kind to the interconnected system based on existing NERC settlement procedures. Price information is confidential. The ECAR dispute resolution procedure is applicable (binding ADR is voluntary). Parties retain the right to go directly to FERC. Lloyd -- Are you OK with the specifics? I do not see any reason to protest this. EPSA wants to use the $15 offset to show what may be reasonable for generator interconnects and I am discussing it with EPSA. We should file a routine intervention (to obtain pleadings, orders, etc.) Interventions are due Friday, May 5. Anyone disagree?

Enron is not a voting member nor were we given an opportunity to make changes to the final document that went out for ballot..........but it was similar to what was discussed in recent ECAR meetings and was finalized after ECAR reps met with FERC staff to meet FERC concerns. In addition, several weeks ago I presented the ECAR concept to the MAPP Executive Committee and after discussion MAPP passed a resolution of support for what ECAR was trying to accomplish to improve reliability. In order to make a payment sanction for inadvertent really work, it should be approved by an entire interconnection. ECAR officials are expecting approval very quickly so that sanctions are in place this summer to help support reliability. If Enron has changed its position, and we plan to oppose this action, lets discuss the ramifications including putting at risk the expected Executive Board action on May 1 to ratify CRC and OP & L recommendations to grant conditional certification of our two control areas in ECAR. thanx From: Christi L Nicolay @ ECT 04/20/2000 11:17 AM To: Charles Yeung/HOU/ECT@ECT, Dave Mangskau/Corp/Enron@Enron, Greg Woulfe/HOU/ECT@ECT, Patrick Hanse/HOU/ECT@ECT, Bill Rust/HOU/ECT@ECT, Lloyd Will/HOU/ECT@ECT, Richard Ingersoll/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Joe Hartsoe/Corp/Enron@Enron, Charles Yeung/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: ECAR filing ECAR actually filed this at FERC already this week. I am getting a copy of the filing. We will have an opportunity to respond to it at FERC. ---------------------- Forwarded by Christi L Nicolay/HOU/ECT on 04/20/2000 11:15 AM --------------------------- "Nancy Pickover" <npickover@bracepatt.com< on 04/20/2000 10:14:08 AM To: <Christi.L.Nicolay@enron.com<, <snovose@enron.com< cc: Subject: ECAR filing ** PRIVATE ** ECAR has filed a Section 205 request for Commission approval of an "Inadvertent Settlement Tariff."
