"Duncan Kincheloe" <dkincheloe@mpua.org< 09/26/2000 10:22 AM To: <skean@enron.com< cc: Subject: Fw: Tagging issue at NERC Security Subcommittee tomorrow Steve, ? I sent the below to you this morning at an apparently outdated email address.? Your secretary was kind enough to update me so I'm forwarding it again. ? Duncan Kincheloe General Manager and CEO Missouri Public Utility Alliance 573-445-3279 Fax 573-445-0680 ----- Original Message ----- From: Duncan Kincheloe To: Steven Kean Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2000 10:01 AM Subject: Tagging issue at NERC Security Subcommittee tomorrow Steve, I haven't been in touch since the DOE Reliability Task Force and hope this email address through Elizabeth is still the way to reach you.? Incidentally, I was with Sue Tierney at a NARUC conference yesterday and we've started a new pool to wager when Congress will get this issue dealt with. Want in? Perhaps you remember that while we were serving on the Task Force I moved to EPRI to direct their government relations.? Last year I moved back to Missouri to run the municipals' state joint action agency, which is why I'm writing.? Part of our activity is operating a 19 city power pool (MoPEP) that has a three year supply contract of up to 40 mWh/hr with Enron.? We've had some difficulties with delivery since a change in tagging was made in June. ? The issue and a proposed solution is explained in the attached three page "bullet statement" that we've just submitted to the new NERC Security Subcommittee that meets tomorrow.? Based on his discussions with NERC staff, with a Mike Curry with Enron and other affected utilities, my chief operating officer for MoPEP is optimistic about prospects for this resolution.? I would like to make sure of Enron's support.? I'm told that Dick Ingersoll will be at the subcommittee meeting for Enron, and I know Dick from SPP meetings when I was on the Missouri Commission but don't have contact information on him now.? I'd be very grateful if you could pass along a nod of benign interest in this. We'd greatly appreciate Enron's support for the proposed resolution of the tagging issue at the NERC Subcommittee tomorrow, mainly because it should avoid what might otherwise be a messy contract dispute, at FERC or elsewhere, between our organizations.? Without getting into the details, my understanding of the issue under the energy purchase agreement has to do with whether the change in NERC tagging that was required on June 1 (the date when MoPEP started taking certain control area services from Western Resources) affects Enron's obligation under the agreement to deliver energy to the Associated Electric Cooperative transmission system.? MoPEP's view is that Enron's obligations are unaffected, but some at Enron apparently have had a different view.? Our belief is that the proposal that will be presented to the Security Subcommittee will resolve the tagging matter such that both Enron and MoPEP would regard any potential dispute on this issue as moot. Sorry for such short notice, but this resolution and taking it to the subcommittee came out of discussions in Atlanta Friday. Thanks for your consideration, Steve.? Hope all is well with you.
