We can create significant mutual benefit by partnering with a firm which is
focussed on developing IT systems for bulk power systems: We need to take our deregulation model to the next level of detail by having IT solutions which will support our view of how the market ought to work. The IT firm would benefit from our access to the policy makers (domestic and international) whose decisions will make the IT firm's systems either successful or obsolete. Call me if you would like to discuss. ---------------------- Forwarded by Steven J Kean/HOU/EES on 09/21/99 03:13 PM --------------------------- To: Steven J Kean/HOU/EES@EES, Joe Hartsoe/Corp/Enron@Enron, Sarah Novosel/Corp/Enron@Enron, Kevin M Presto/HOU/ECT@ECT, Shashi Patel/HOU/ECT@ECT, Stephen R Horn/HOU/ECT@ECT, Lloyd Will/HOU/ECT@ECT, John Zurita/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Ross Perot's EMS company To all--Steve Horn's Investment group has been approached to possibly invest in a company, Soft____, that makes EMS and tagging systems (which BPA is using and PGE may use). We met w/ Shashi Patel of Steve's group today and discussed that there are competitors out there, including OATI, Alstom ESCA (who are partnered with Ross Perot). Ross Perot has approached Enron about promoting its system in the Midwest ISO. We used this system for Enron control area's EMS. Ross Perot is going to contact Steve Kean to set up a meeting to show us his product. Also, Kevin Presto thinks that OATI would be a good investment. Steve Kean--Steve Horn and Shashi Patel are interested in being included in a presentation by Perot. Sarah and Joe--Can you think of any FERC regulatory constraints that would limit Enron's ability to invest in one of the software providers to utilities/RTOS? I couldn't think of any reason off hand. Thanks. ---------------------- Forwarded by Christi L Nicolay/HOU/ECT on 09/20/99 04:57 PM --------------------------- From: Christi L Nicolay 09/10/99 02:42 PM To: Steven J Kean/HOU/EES@EES, Joe Hartsoe/Corp/Enron@Enron, Sarah Novosel/Corp/Enron@Enron cc: Subject: Midwest ISO information (Transco?) Steve/Joe/Sarah--See the attached memo from Alstom ESCA to Kevin Presto. Alstom ESCA did the Enron control area's (ENSE) EMS system that we needed to comply with NERC policies. How should we proceed? Thanks. ---------------------- Forwarded by Christi L Nicolay/HOU/ECT on 09/10/99 02:10 PM --------------------------- Enron North America Corp. From: Kevin M Presto 09/10/99 01:30 PM To: Christi L Nicolay/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Midwest ISO information... What are your thoughts? I recommend talking with Steve Kean and Joe Hartsoe ASAP to coordinate with the ESCA/OATI/Perot System consortium regarding the Midwest ISO. Dick George from ESCA mentioned that Ross Perot would like to make contact at a high level inside Enron to discuss the merits of Enron supporting a for-profit transco structure for the Midwest ISO. The ESCA/OATI/Perot System consortium is offering a system to the Midwest ISO that is designed to support a for-profit transco. The consortium's primary competitor (ABB) has a system that supports the more structured ISO environment (similar to California and PJM). ---------------------- Forwarded by Kevin M Presto/HOU/ECT on 09/10/99 01:05 PM --------------------------- "dsgeorge" <dsgeorge@earthlink.net< on 09/09/99 11:00:36 PM To: Kevin M Presto/HOU/ECT@ECT, "Lloyd Will" <LWill@hydro.mb.ca< cc: "John Wulf" <john.wulf@alstom.esca.com<, "Brent Brobak" <Brent@esca.com<, "Laurence Ferry" <laurence.ferry@esca.com<, "JD Hammerly" <jd.hammerly@esca.com< Subject: Midwest ISO information... Kevin and Lloyd, The Signatories of the Midwest ISO follow: Allegheny Power Ameren (formerly Union Electric and Central Illinois Public Service Company) CILCO Cinergy Commonwealth Edison Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative Illinois Power Kentucky Utilities Louisville Gas & Electric Northern States Power Wabash Valley Power Wisconsin Electric The status of the formation is anti-profit, i.e. a holding pattern is in place with a FERC Tariff request to carry over seven years. The view is that a for-profit-ISO goes completely against the grain and that only a mandate by FERC will get them to change. Given Entergy's fight with FERC even a mandate will be a hard fought court exercise. At present there are sixteen control areas therefore the system requirement with grandfathered contracts in each is odious. Nevertheless, the form ESCA and our partners Perot, OATI and Tenfold offer is a full-up system ready for a for-profit implementation. As you might expect the division of responsibilities on the proposal is Perot as Program Manager (their position with the California ISO again), OATI for Tagging and Congestion Management, Tenfold for Settlement and Billing, and finally ESCA for the EMS/Market Systems. We prefer a for-profit model as it betters our offering and provides more near-term opportunity. Discussions with the Perot, OATI and Tenfold partners concurred that sharing information with Enron and vice-versa would help all of us understand how each side may be able to position ourselves with the Midwest ISO. Mutual help and cooperation is to our partners, ESCA's and it would seem Enron's advantage. MIDWEST ISO BOARD OF DIRECTORS JAMES H.
