The purpose of bringing synfuel on EnronOnline is to provide market transparency between the coal/synfuel spread. The coal cash book, which began trading only two months ago, has traded over 2 million spot tons. The fundamental purpose of this book is to capture short term market discrepancies, while also adding liquidity to the spot market to further long term trading and marketing of coal. Enron Energy and Operational Services - ENA Solid Fuel Initiative ENA started development of a Coal Initiative late last year to support the electricity trading desk and to provide Enron with a hedge in the event that the cost of natural gas continues to escalate above current long term projections. Because of the culture shock associated the use of the words 'Enron' and 'coal' in the same sentence, consideration was been given to changing the name to DNG (Dense Natural Gas); however, we went with Solid Fuel Initiative. This initiative is developing multiple sites throughout the country where ENA feels there is the greatest opportunity for long term corporate benefit. The primary areas are Texas, Florida, southeastern Ohio and the central Rocky Mountain Area. There are 2 principal areas currently being aggressively pursued: Brownsville, TX and Brighton FL. In Brownsville, the Team secured formal Owner approval to lease a 600 acre site near the Brownsville Ship Channel. This approval will allow the formal permitting activities to proceed without delay. A 500 MW facility is being considered for Brownsville. As conceptualized, it will consist of two - 250 MW (net) CFB units (Circulating Fluidized Bed) Boilers. The boilers will be fired by petroleum coke (petcoke) and use a technology that will generate electricity in the most environmentally friendly way currently possible. One of the advantages of locating this facility near Brownsville is that it remains a steady growth area and there is already serious interest by others to take substantial initial base load capacity. There is further synergy with other developing projects in the area that could lock down additional base capacity. As stated the plant is initially 500 MW, but will be designed to be expanded to a 1000 MW facility. The EEOS team is starting to grow and currently includes Hilda Akin & Cheryl Kent, Project Admin Assistants, Bill Fox as PEM, and Paula Solomon as PCM. As the project develops there will be more team members required. In addition, as the Florida opportunity develops we plan to establish a separate team. eSource eSource, Enron's research group, recently posted on its website a Forrester report as well as analyst reports for various industry and companies.
