SRS ---------------------- Forwarded by Sherri Sera/Corp/Enron on 05/09/2001 12:07 PM --------------------------- rdcarson@aep.com on 05/09/2001 11:46:21 AM To: sherri.sera@enron.com cc: swalker@vmaonline.org, blanchfield_wl@nns.com Subject: Virginia Manufacturers Association Seminar -- June 19, 2001 Sherry, thanks for your guidance concerning the possibility of an Enron participant for the VMA's Seminar on Electric Utility Restructuring scheduled for June 19, 2001. I serve as Chairman of the VMA's Energy Resources Committee which will be responsible for the seminar and the day-long agenda it will entail. As I explained, depending upon the availability of Mr. Skilling or another key individual, the VMA is offering Enron an opportunity to participate in its seminar in an important way. We seek to have Enron speak on the subject of the developing competitive market and how that market may be accessible and beneficial to VMA's member manufacturers which include many, if not most, of the large companies residing in Virginia. The purpose of the seminar is entirely educational, as customers in Virginia will be able, under the terms of the Electric Utility Industry Restructuring Act passed in 1999, to choose their supplier of electricity as early as January 1, 2002, and by no later than January 1, 2003. The subject is becoming a high priority for VMA members, given the prominence of energy issues today generally, and the imminence of the date when choice will be available to Virginia customers. We envision that Enron's message could be encouraging for VMA members who today hear much about the dilemma in California (another seminar participant will speak on the status of restructuring initiatives in California and other states) and understandably wonder about the prospects for successful competition and effective choice in Virginia. Enron could hopefully explain how market benefits might accrue to manufacturers once the day of choice arrives, touching on Enron's online trading platform, aggregation possibilities (an alternative which the VMA, as an umbrella organization, is considering), and related topics. The seminar will begin at 8:30am and conclude at 4:30pm, with the possible Enron presentation beginning immediately following lunch at 1:00pm. We expect good attendance on the part of VMA members, and plan to offer attendance opportunities to regulatory commission personnel, legislators and others who have been closely involved with the development of the Virginia restructuring model as it has evolved over the past five years or so. I will appreciate hearing from you at your earliest convenience, and again thank you for your assistance. I will be happy to discuss the particulars with you or anyone else, should that be helpful, and can be reached at AEP's state office in Richmond at 804-698-5511.
