1. I appreciate everyone who participated in the call today. I think that
the discussion proved that we can find consensus on a reasonable approach for transmission pricing and energy markets. 2. To make more clear about the Regional Plans, I think that we need to consider the following. A. BACKGROUND Timelines of Current Process Current Players & Current Positions Allies Key Issues now facing the process B. MOVING FORWARD Top Issues upcoming External Factors (e.g., will Entergy join SPP) Resource Needs Relationship to Commercial Objectives / Business Plans C. OTHER ISSUES / CONCLUSION I hope this helps set an outline for the Regional Plans. The key idea is that I want to make sure everyone has a calendar of where we are going and what issues need to be addressed. Don't be shy about adding other topics and issues. We need to have this to communicate within our group and to the commercial people. I don't expect this to be easy, but I think that it will be helpful. 3. I think that we need to put more detail around the entire structure. This would entail developing four things (1) a tariff, (2) ISO Systems & Procedures, (3) Day Ahead PX Energy Market, (4) Transmission Flowgate PX Market. These are the four building blocks to a New Marketplace. My hope is for Enron to put these things out in a detailed framework using "off the shelf" material. I know that Tom Delaney has already started working on a tariff. I think we could adapt the Cal PX model into point 3. We could probably use the APX Flowgate System for point 4. On the ISO, maybe we could go to ESCA and have a Detailed Scope / Work Plan and fees on setting up an ISO (including costs of operation over time). It would make sense to me to do this very formally (including setting energy market zones and defining the commercially significant Flowgates). I would use the MISO as the market to focus on, but am willing to listen to other thoughts. Please let me know what everyone thinks. Jim
