Brenda,
I agree with Mark that this functionality does not exist today. However, I = don't see developing a solution will be that hard. There are very few cont= racts / deals which will have this language in them today. I'm not trying = to make this sound easy. We still need to get the input information. Thes= e deals will be more of the Interval meter data transactions which will hav= e a hourly load shape and we can get access to the hourly index price. I h= ave access to that information today. =20 We do need to get a solution in place quickly. I don't want to speak for h= im but I think Mark was saying that they would not have a solution in place= win the current tactical solution. I do think that we can add something o= utside of that process which will be added back in manually at first. I am copying Chris on this as well so he can start taking a look at it. Th= is is the type of activity we perform on a daily basis in the Portland offi= ce. There may be something which we can replicate Chris, Please get together with Mark and his group to discuss their proces= s and let us know what is required. Please provide the following in a writ= e-up.=20 ?=09Contractual requirements. (See if new deals are the same and summarize= requirement) ?=09Where can we reuse Portland tools or what new tools need to be develope= d ?=09What will be required for information inputs (Prices, consumption?) ?=09How will we implement calculation into existing processes (Show data fl= ow) ?=09How quickly can we implements and what resources will be required to as= sist.

I wa= nted to highlight this to all of you as this will soon be a customer servic= e issue in additional to a risk issue. All new non-matrix (Master and Mid = market contracts) deals since June have contained similar language requirin= g hourly calculation for excess and deficient usage, either using the ISO h= ourly price or the Dow Jones daily on and off peak price weighted by the cu= stomers actual hourly usage. =20 There are several deals that will require this calculation every month as v= olumes have been stipulated at some percentage (90 or 95%) of historical us= age with no bands around the stipulated volumes. In this instance all volu= mes above or below the stipulation are settled using the hourly mechanism. = Home Depot CA is a specific example of this deal structure.=20 We need to quickly formulate a plan to ensure that we are able to execute o= n these contracts from a both a risk management perspective and customer se= rvice stand point. Please let me know what input you need from me. I can = provide example contracts and deals as required. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: =09Brakke, Erling =20 Sent:=09Friday, September 07, 2001 9:05 AM To:=09Woodward, Jason Subject:=09FW:=20 Jason, I'm very concerned regarding our capability regarding the below cont= ractual language. This has been the standard language in all new deals sin= ce late June. It was my understanding that you were responsible for approv= ing contractual language and ensuring that Operations could execute against= it. We (Site Profile Desk) are significantly at risk if they are not able= to execute against this language. This language was developed as a risk m= itigant for our desk and must be implemented.

This request has come from others= as well and we are trying to get the word out that we do not have the syst= ems in place to support this type of invoicing.

Are the two of you in a position to = price and bill out the below language? It is very important that you are a= ble to execute on the below to ensure that we are not unwitting risk that i= s not being charged to the deals. All new deals have this language - the b= elow is from Limited TX - a deal that contains 90/110 bands. =20 Home Depot CA back in June did not include 90/110 bands, but rather a fixed= volume at 95% of their historical consumption and then similar language to= the below for any excess over that - thus I assume that this has already b= een implemented for HD CA as this would be required each month. Thanks.
