Subject: fw : energy leader consulting generation evaluator ( ege ) vince : this is the gentleman that wants to meet with you on the 29 th ? - - - - - original message - - - - - from : " steve mitnick " @ enron [ mailto : imceanotes - + 22 steve + 20 mitnick + 22 + 20 + 3 csmitnick + 40 earthlink + 2 enet + 3 e + 40 enron @ enron . com ] sent : monday , may 21 , 2001 9 : 13 am to : crenshaw , shirley cc : vkamins @ enron . com subject : energy leader consulting generation evaluator ( ege ) shirley : as requested , herein is information regarding the meeting with vince kaminski . the presentation on the ege tool ' s applications and the allegheny energy case study is timed to take an hour . if the meeting is most conveniently scheduled for tuesday , may 29 , might i request it be set for late afternoon ( as my other appointments are the next day ) . and , as vince will recall , i was co - leader of the energy consulting business of phb hagler bailly , and developer of the ramp up , real time , 75 check and electric strategy tools . presently , i am ceo of energy leader consulting ( elc ) . background the u . s . power generation industry has become increasingly efficient in recent years . rapidly growing new entrants seek profit maximization aggressively . utilities , who still control most power plants , endeavor to adopt the entrants ' methods . yet , inefficiency among many utilities remains widespread . utility inefficiency arises from adherence to decades - old habits and in unit commitment and dispatch and planned maintenance scheduling . many utilities , notwithstanding the industry - wide trend towards profit maximization , cling to ingrained routines . inefficiency can also arise from the diseconomies of small scale . a utility may operate a relatively small system ( fewer than a dozen plants ) . a small system lacks portfolio diversification and perspective in its focus on its regulated customers , playing the wholesale market at the margin . for a variety of reasons , utilities are reluctant to cut back the starts of their generating units , let alone shut down any ( even temporarily or seasonally ) . economically inefficient units continue to be committed , week after week , and run in the half - load range . ege objectives ege identifies and assesses generating units of a utility with questionable commitment routines . taking into account transmission and reliability factors , the procedure points towards profit opportunities that may be exploited by another industry participant . i . an industry participant can use ege as a basis for a medium or long - term wholesale power transaction with a utility ; or to price wholesale power more aggressively , to take market share from the utility ( i . e . , compel changes in unit commitment habits ) . ii . an industry participant can use ege to spot and quantify efficiencies that would come from a merger or acquisition . iii . a power plant developer can use ege to estimate the incremental value a new plant will enjoy when the target utility ' s unit commitment routines inevitably become rationalized . specific ege concepts ege reduces and analyses the extraordinary but unwieldy continuous emission monitoring data base intelligently focusing on profit opportunities . it produces indicative statistics such as : a . the frequency distribution of starts per week ; b . the frequency distribution of starts by day / 15 - minute segment during the week ; c . the frequency distribution of load level ; d . the frequency distribution of hours of operation per start ; e . average heat rate and approximate fully - allocated cost in the half - load range ; f . average ramp rate from the half - load range ; g . the frequency distribution of unused connected capacity during the highest demand hours ; and h . forced - off maintenance outage rate ( where indicated ) . indicative statistics are generally aggregated by month / year ; in some cases , by temperature range . ( they can be by regional wholesale prices as well . ) ege establishes if the target utility has changed unit commitment routines significantly in recent years . ege is based upon uniquely timely actual hourly operating data . ege is now updated for the 4 th quarter 2000 ( through december 31 , 2000 ) . ege lst quarter 2000 ( through march 31 , 2001 ) will be available approximately june 15 , 2001 . ege also compares and ranks generating units ' commitment and dispatch with that of similar units operated by the target utility ( as well as other regional generators ) . some utilities operate a group of economically marginal units at the half - load level for lengthy time periods ( without an apparent reliability basis ) , splitting the limited economic demand for power among the units . other ege supporting data : i . planned maintenance schedule ( where indicated ) ; j . actual maximum generating capacity ; k . actual minimum generating capacity ( actual maximums and minimums can differ significantly from government - reported values ) ; l . average heat rate in the full - load range ; and m . average heat rate in the three - quarter - load range . with respect to a generating units ' average heat rate in the half - load , three - quarter - load and full - load ranges , it can be instructive to rank these relative to similar generating units within a region . it can also be of interest to identify significant seasonal variations in average heat rates and maximum capacities , and changes in recent years in these parameters . the real - world example of allegheny energy allegheny energy can serve as a case study to illustrate the application of ege . in the 4 th quarter 2000 , for instance , one high - cost generating unit was started virtually every weekday morning ( 52 times ) and committed for the whole day ( in all but two cases ) . arguably , there are power products that could substitute for this routine ( in part at least ) at a profit to the seller of the product and allegheny energy . another high - cost allegheny energy generating unit was started virtually every weekend during the autumn ( nine times ) and committed for most of the coming week . at another plant , two high - cost units were operated too often in the expensive half - load range ( some 550 hours ) and three - quarter - load range ( another 400 to 600 hours ) ; they were seldom called upon to run at higher levels . again , there are power products that that address these practices and might appeal to allegheny energy . offering of energy leader consulting ( elc ) ege is a procedure , not a software package or data base . elc believes this format is more effective in arming clients with the information they need to act upon profit opportunities . elc transfers its " knowledge " about the ege procedure and the supporting data methods in a straight - forward four - step process : 1 . enron would select one to three target utilities . 2 . elc would perform the ege procedure on the target utilities . 3 . employing this real - world analysis as a pedagogic tool , elc , in a one - day seminar with enron personnel , would instruct how to perform the procedure in the future ( without the assistance of elc ) . 4 . optionally , elc would provide ege supporting data , quarterly , to enron . the basic ege supporting data set is national including all generating units under the continuous emission monitoring program ( virtually all fossil fuel units ) . parameters that are incorporated , and the data set format , will be specified upon request . custom modifications will be considered . steven a . mitnick chief executive officer energy leader consulting 4807 41 st street , nw washington , dc 20016 ( 202 ) 997 - 0924 voice ( 202 ) 537 - 0906 fax smitnick @ energyleader . com

Subject: floating lng terminal folks , as a follow - up to scott neal ' s inquiry this morning concerning portable / floating lng opportunities for california , i have learned that no such capability currently exists . according to todd peterson of enron global lng , exploitation of this opportunity has been the topic of some industry articles but no one , as far as we know , has constructed such a vessel . i did come across a proposed design for an lng floating terminal by the italian company , tecnomare . i contacted them and they indicated that they have not built such a vessel . it is estimated that construction of such a vessel would take 2 - 3 years , and as one might imagine , achieving the required operational and environmental performance in such a vessel would be quite substantial . attached is a link to a relatively brief description of the proposed vessel , please let me know if any further research is needed . charlie weldon

Subject: combinatorial auction - jan 11 mtg background - - - - - forwarded by greg woulfe / enron communications on 12 / 28 / 00 09 : 58 am - - - - - chonawee supatgiat @ enron 12 / 22 / 00 05 : 08 pm to : stinson gibner / hou / ect @ ect , greg woulfe / enron communications @ enron communications cc : subject : combinatorial auction stinson and greg , i have read the paper " combinatorial auction with multiple winners for universal service " from richard steinberg and frank kelly . they propose a combinatorial auction which is an auction for multiple items that allows bidders to realize their synergies on combinations of items . the combinatorial auction is appropriated for bandwidth commodity because most bidders in the market have synergies on the combination of items . for example , if we want to get bandwidth between boston and dc , we would bid for boston - ny and ny - dc . it will be valuable to us only if we won both links . if we won only one link , it will be useless . in the paper , they propose the auctioning method but their method has not been tested or validated yet . i have not checked their proposition mathematically but their paper was published in management science so i think it should be all right . i will look at it in more details and let you know . anyhow , there are also other combinatorial auctions that are actually used , for example , the alberta government ' s ppa auction that enron canada was participated 3 - 4 months ago . based on our long position on bandwidth , auction and exchange might be a good channel to dispose our unused ( or unsold ) bandwidth . i know there is not much demand in the market . but if we open a combinatorial auction or exchange , we might be able to increase our market share . ( by taking demand from our competitors ) . i believe , at the moment , there are no bandwidth exchanges that allow " combinatorial " bids . if we are the first one to do it , we might improve our sale channel and gain some market share . ( note : auction - > one seller and many buyers : exchange - > many sellers and many buyers . ) moreover , i think auctioning the unsold bandwidth will not hurt us because we cannot sell them anyway . in addition , we ourselves can be a dummy bidder in the system and bid in the auction . if the current wining bid is too low , we can just over - bid it and keep the product . this way , we can indirectly put a reserve price on the products . let ' s meet sometime in the first week of january . - chonawee

Subject: optical network engineering & enron research offsite meeting hi john , as per our discussion and e - mails , i am suggesting the following dates for the subject offsite : april 14 & 15 th ( friday & sat ) . place and agenda to follow once this date is nailed up . the heads of each group will decide who will attend . we would also invite kevin hannon , scott yeager , tom gros , ted seitz and jean mrha once the dates and agenda are agreed upon by the technical folks . as before , the idea is to introduce the two of the most technical groups within enron and to exchange ideas and issues . the enron research team will provide trading and modeling presentations and the optical network engineering team will present networking and components related topics . take away from the two days will be to provide john griebling ' s group with better understanding about how the trading markets have developed in general and energy markets in particular via enron ( i . e . , how the sausage was made ! ) . likewise , john ' s group will provide us with better understanding of optical networking from a technical perspective . particularily , how ebs is planning to develop the puplic switched optical network ( pson ) that john has ' branded ' our pooling point based network ! please reply asap if these two days ( april 14 & 15 ) will work . additionally , john , is the original suggestion to hold it in scott yeager ' s cabin somewhere up in colorado mts . still holds ? if yes , i should probably let scott know ! if not , i ' ll try to find other places - - any suggestions , anyone ? regards , ravi .

Subject: ebs research telecom rercruiting effot hi , vince please put your best effort in making sure that we differentiate summer interns and associates that ebs research will be hiring . i am talking about compensation here . ken rice mentioned that ebs is in the process of developing a technical equivalent of our aa pool . ebs research people can potentially rotate through this pool in the future . i just don ' t want to risk losing people like giuseppe ( & get the word out that we are low - ballers ) because we have to fit them into certain set of categories that was designed for the energy business . i realize that you have estabilished such differentiation for research as a whole , but i think that would have to be moved up a notch in the case of ebs . ravi .

Subject: mg metals : quant analysis & risk hi eric , thanks for getting back to me - i believe there are a number of issues to address to ensure that the integration goes smoothly from a risk management and quantitative analysis perspective , and i have put together a ( by no means exhaustive ) list : - i ) seamless transfer of front and middle office systems from an exotic options linking perspective ( e . g . their spreadsheets link to different option pricing add - ins ) ii ) development of volatility curves and factor analysis to ensure that we can capture metals risk in our var system ( we will require historical data for this ) . iii ) ensure that mg staff on quant and risk side become familiar with our methods and systems and vice versa these tasks will involve a significant degree of cross - communication with relevant contacts within mg metals , and so i look forward to starting on the process as soon as possible - i hope to play a full part from a quantitative research and risk management perspective to ensure that everything goes smoothly in this exciting new development , so please do not hesitate to involve me . best regards , anjam ahmad research x 35383 enron europe from : anjam ahmad 15 / 06 / 2000 16 : 18 to : eric gadd / lon / ect @ ect cc : dale surbey / lon / ect @ ect , vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect subject : quant analysis & structuring for metals business dear eric , i understand from dale that you are co - ordinating the integration of mg metals into enron europe . dale and i thought it would be a good idea to ensure that we are fully prepared from a quantitative research and structuring perspective so that we can " hit the ground running " when they do arrive . i would be grateful if you could provide a contact person in mg metals that may look after this area , or someone who may find it useful to discuss and identify their possible future modelling requirements . thanks & regards , anjam ahmad research x 35383

Subject: power trading hi folks : very glad to hear about the new developments . just to recap what we discussed this morning about different things you need to look into to set up trading operations and the contacts : 1 . licence to trade : regulatory people : i guess you know about this part better than me . 2 . trading & risk mgmt : global risk mgmt oversight : john sherrif in london has the overall responsibility outside western hemisphere . research group can help with the structuring models used for trading . 3 . risk conrols : before trading group is operational , it needs to get the authorization from the board of directors of enron along with total position limits and possibly value @ risk limits . these limits are typically by commodity type and by region . risk assessment & control ( rac ) under rick buy performs the internal control function ensuring that the businesses adhere to these trading limits . ted murphy is the vp in rac overseeing the trading operations . the value @ risk models come from the research group , but day - to - day monitoring of the numbers is done by ted ' s group . 4 . credit risk : a credit reserve number is computed for each deal ( again , the models are created by research ) and is transferred to the credit group under bill bradford ( also in rac ) . this is basically like buying insurance from the corp . , so that if there is a couterparty default , the loss is covered by the reserve pool of the credit dept . 5 . legal : the name i was given is alan aronowitz for legal help . 6 . back office : initially can survive with excel spreadsheets . you should contact the it though when the plans finalize to talk about systems . australia is the most recent place where we set up the trading operations . you can talk to paul quilky , the trader there to talk about these issues ( mention to him that grant masson in research gave his name ) . barry pierce in london was incharge of back office at the begin there . i can coordinate for talking with people next week . give me a call monday if possible . i hadn ' t the time to search for the presentation stuff today . will do it next week . krishna .

Subject: sharad agnihotri : telephone chat following the offer hi kate , thanks for setting up the telephone informal discussion with sharad so that i can make him more comfortable with what ' s on offer - i really think it will make the difference . as you mentioned , the agency fee goes up from 25 % to 30 % at 50 , 000 , hence the offer of 49 , 000 . i guess , as you mentioned , we can keep in reserve the possibility of an element of sign on bonus to get him over the decision hump . regards & thanks , anjam

Subject: re : hi vince : i think full time employment starting in about six months seems to be the best option . it is probably best to get my dissertation wrapped up before taking on additional commitments . regards zeigham - - - - - original message - - - - - from : vince . j . kaminski @ enron . com to : zkhokher @ mail . utexas . edu cc : vince . j . kaminski @ enron . com ; stinson . gibner @ enron . com date : tuesday , april 11 , 2000 10 : 25 am subject : re : hi zeigham , we discussed two options ( not necessarily mutually exclusive ) : 1 . summer internship 2 . full employment . are you interested exclusively in full employment ? i need the answer asap , as we are going to discuss the additional summer intern positions this afternoon . vince zkhokher @ mail . utexas . edu on 04 / 11 / 2000 01 : 06 : 14 pm to : cc : subject : hi vince : it was very nice talking to you at the texas finance festival and i think the telecom market that enron is entering is very interesting and very lucrative . i would be very interested in working in that segment for enron . however , i talked to sheridan about this oppurtunity and he said that it is probably going to be another six months before i finish my dissertation . so while i am definitely interested , the start date will probably have to be around that time . at any rate , it was a pleasure meeting you again and hopefully once i have defended my dissertation we can discuss employment oppurtunities in greater detail . regards zeigham zkhokher @ mail . utexas . edu 512 - 471 - 1676
