Can you make sure that the Toronto Office is not blowing their minds on
costs.

I totally support having a separate marketing and trading team in Ontario to
focus on the opening of that market. However, with respect to creating a
redundant physical system operation/real-time unit monitoring/dispatch
function in Ontario, it simply does not make economic or logistical sense.
With the integration of the 6 peaker plants into our operation and the
associated IT support, control area operations, plant operations, hourly
trading, and real-time monitoring system here in Houston, we could provide
all the necessary tools and support personnel necessary to perform this
function from Houston. All the critical trading information would obviously
be available to the Ontario office, yet they would not have to be burdened by
the additional overhead to build a stand alone physical operation.

From my standpoint, it just doesn't make sense to re-create the physical
capabilities the Houston office has developed over the past two years. The
Ontario guys are doing a great job and I like their aggressive attitude,
however, rationale business decisions should still prevail.

Your thoughts?

Attached is the data you requested today. The schematic detail requested
can be found in the email attachment at the bottom of this email. Please
also contact Ed Baughman on the TIE proposal for dispatching, scheduling and
trading services that was recently done to leverage of the existing Genco
facilities and staff.

On the dedicated ring downs all work was co-ordinated by Darren Adamik
(713-853-4764) if you require additional details.

Generally it will take 4 staff for a 24 hour operation plus one vacation/sick
relief. Depending on the complexity of the operation you will have to
determine the level of industry expertise. A good plan would be to hire a
senior lead utility type and then bring on junior staff. The quality and
quantity of staff will likely be based on the value at risk and the
complexity of dispatching these units.

If you consider the operation critical a diesel and UPS will be required.

Plasma displays run $10,000 to $15,000 per display plus any switching/av
equipment.

We have a PI consultant on contract that could be available for your PI
project - typically $ 150.00 per hour plus travel and expenses.

The above assumes that no special hardware/software is required from The IMO
to dispatch these units.
