Great work. Any indication that the publication of the Stanley investigation
is having any adverse effect?

Subject: Update - Proposed Alberta Power Pool Rule Changes

Rick,

You will recall Steve Kean participated in a conference call on Nov 14 with
John Lavorato et al to discuss emergency Pool Rule changes that the Power
Pool intended to implement in two days. We developed a 5 point action plan
to deal with the proposed Power Pool rule changes that would have a
significant impact on the value of Enron's PPA investment in Alberta.
By way of update to Steve, you may wish to brief him that: 1) It appears the
Power Pool will not proceed with the rule change designed to exclude
importers from setting pool price. They will proceed with dispatch risk rule
changes but we have given input on those too and I am optimistic that Enron
will be able to live with these rule changes, the final wording of which we
should see on Monday, 2) We have set up a meeting with the Minister of
Resource Development (you, Rob Milnthorp and I will attend) on December 11 to
encourage the Alberta Government to stay the course, and 3) This week we will
finalize our "Lessons from other Jurisdictions" document (that Steve sent me
materials to include in) and will provide it to the Alberta Government and
Power Pool and then follow up with them.

The attached memo provides an update on the status of the Power Pool's
further consideration of the proposed rule changes. In summary, it appears
the Pool will not proceed with the proposal to exclude import offers from
setting pool price but will recommend a rule that reduces ability of
suppliers to become price takers on volumes that were originally priced too
high to clear the merit order. I will receive more specifics on the dispatch
risk rule change on Monday.

Regards,

Rob
