Enron Mail |
After talking with Kevin P., he said to change the sinks on the firm you want
to TVA. Joe and I will prepare to address the tariff issue at FERC (pro forma requires ultimate source and sink) to hopefully get the pro forma tariff changed. Several other providers have raised this issue and backed off from the requirement.

(With TVA our SINK). We also have another 150 mw's /month July-Aug. w/ CE source, TVA sink, that are in "STUDY" mode. Enron North America Corp. From: Kevin M Presto 12/20/99 05:02 PM To: Bill Rust/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Rogers Herndon/HOU/ECT@ect, James B Fallon/HOU/ECT@ECT, Patrick Hanse/HOU/ECT@ECT, Tom Dutta/HOU/ECT@ECT, Christi L Nicolay/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Re: TVA transmission requests Thanks for the update Bill. I take issue with TVA's statement regarding denial of firm transmission to our CA's (Enron CA is the sink). TVA is correct with their statement regarding netting of firm transmission (ie, very few transmission providers net firm transmission). However, TVA, in the implementation of the NERC Policy letter, stated that they will make firm transmission available to and from each control area equal to the capacity capability of the generation and non-firm transmission availability from our control areas equal to TVA's own ATC to and from each interconnected control area. TVA's denial of firm transmission sinking to our control area for the reason stated in Bill's e-mail is wrong. Although the majority of our firm transmission requests utilize the 3 control areas as sources (with POD's of SOCO, EES, and AMRN), we should not tolerate denials of firm transmission into our control areas because that is completely inconsistent with the NERC Policy ruling. By the way, what is the status of the transmission Terry requested from Com-Ed to TVA (through Ameren)? This would be a situation where our control area would be a sink. If TVA is, in fact, denying those firm transmission requests where we are the sink, we need to print out a hard copy of the OASIS denial and send a letter to NERC and FERC. After further researching the facts, Christi could you please work with Bill to draft a letter, if necessary, to send to NERC.
