Subject: re : eol pricing algorithm hi bob , some comments : 1 . you request enron position after successful market order , but not after limit order - - you may want it after limit order as well to be consistent . i am not clear on how you would use enron position . it is possible that the trading desk will have a target position in mind and they will set bids and offers in such a way as to try to achieve that target position , but this target position probably changes continuously and is not stored anywhere , and without this target position there is nothing to compare actual enron position to . of course , enron position may still provide some insights . 2 . you request bid - mid - ask prices for each trade - - - given that a successful trade may execute later than time of order ( especially for limit orders ) , would you need the evolution or range of bid - mid - ask over this time interval ( time of order to time of execution ) ? also , for failed trades , you may need the evolution or range of bid - mid - ask over the time interval from time of order to time of rejection . this again mainly applies to limit orders , as the time intervals may not be significant for market orders given the speed of execution ( something to check ) . - - - - - original message - - - - - from : lee , bob sent : monday , april 23 , 2001 8 : 33 am to : kaminski , vince ; shanbhogue , vasant ; barkley , tom cc : lu , zimin ; huang , alex ; gibner , stinson subject : eol pricing algorithm a draft data request for eol data we would use to study p & l patterns for the " george " pricing algorithm is attached for your review . i would like to send this to andy zipper and jay webb this afternoon . bob > | 0 |

Subject: wharton event - junel 0 - insead vince , bryan has been unable to find anyone suitable to attend this symposium on saturday , so has suggested i attend , which i am happy to do . my only reservation is that my knowledge of this area is very limited , so it is likely i would just be an observer , rather than a participant . anyway just so that i am adequately prepared could you briefly describe our current relationship with this project , and also suggest any reading , like a magazine or paper , that would quickly aid my understanding of the topics to be discussed . many thanks , ben - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - forwarded by benjamin parsons / lon / ect on 08 / 06 / 2000 08 : 36 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - bryan seyfried 06 / 06 / 2000 16 : 46 to : benjamin parsons / lon / ect @ ect cc : subject : wharton event - junel 0 - insead - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - forwarded by bryan seyfried / lon / ect on 06 / 06 / 2000 16 : 48 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - vince j kaminski 05 / 06 / 2000 15 : 13 to : bryan seyfried / lon / ect @ ect cc : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect subject : wharton event - junel 0 - insead bryan , i shall call you later today when i have a chance to read the message from ben . i wanted to ask you for a favor ( on a very short notice ) . we are talking to the wharton school about setting up a relationship with them and getting involved in one or more research projects with them . one of the potential topics is emerging technologies . the wharton offers a symposium in paris on june 10 on high tech acquisitions and it would make a lot of sense if you ( or somebody from london you could identify ) could attend and help us to evaluate the usefulness of this project . i am enclosing the message from the person in wharton running this program . vince - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - forwarded by vince j kaminski / hou / ect on 06 / 05 / 2000 09 : 08 am - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - tomczyk @ wharton . upenn . edu ( michael tomczyk ) on 05 / 18 / 2000 10 : 56 : 08 am to : vkamins @ enron . com cc : thomas . piazze @ wharton . upenn . edu subject : wharton event - junel 0 - insead vincent , it was truly a pleasure getting to know you in our meeting yesterday , and i look forward to the prospect of exchanging views in the future on a variety of topics pertaining to emerging technologies . per our discussion , i ' ve enclosed three files that include an invitation , agenda and rsvp form for the june 10 symposium on high tech acquisitions at insead . if you or the individual ( s ) who will be attending have any questions , please email : phanish puranam at : phanis 20 @ wharton . upenn . edu or you can call him at 215 - 898 - 1231 . this initiative will be expanded during the coming year and i believe that enron ' s involvement will give the company access to some of the early research in progress as it unfolds , and of course , if you become involved as a partner in the emerging technologies program you would have opportunities to help guide the direction of the research which is one of the partnership " benefits . " our next upcoming events are scheduled for : friday , september 8 " what next on the internet ? " this is a faculty update day with industry partners also invited . we will co - sponsor this with wharton ' s major e - business initiative . major issues addresses include " new economics of the web " and " internet , anywhere . " friday , october 20 " first mover advantage , shakeouts & survival strategies " designed by the et core group and presented in collaboration with the e - commerce forum . as i indicated during our discussion , participation in the emerging technologies management research program is by invitation and on behalf of our core faculty , i am pleased to extend an invitation for enron to join the program . to assist in your decision , we recommend having a representative attend the symposium in paris on june 10 to " test drive " the program . i ' ll send you a formal invitation which you are free to accept at your convenience , should you agree that enron ' s participation in the et program would be of value . please call or email if you have any comments or questions . best regards , michael - insead workshop invitation lett - insead workshop agendal . doc - rsvp form . doc michael s . tomczyk managing director emerging technologies management research program 1400 sh - dh / 6371 the wharton school philadelphia , pa 19104 - 6371 tel 215 - 573 - 7722 fax 215 - 573 - 2129 | 0 |

Subject: eol stuff vince - i spoke with tom , and i completely agree and would like to hand all this eol stuff over to you . we need a sun server to take over the task . as it happens martin lin has one in his office he ' s not using and up to the task . his box could serve sas to enron , as well as handle listening in on the eol feedds and maintaining its database . martin ' s box technically belongs to ebs , but i think they are downsizing and wouldn ' t mind giving it up . in this way , you would have complete physical and administrative custody over the data and any work you do with it . i needn ' t be involved , and you can know your work is completely confidential . i ' ll make sas and the eol software available , as well as the necessary ram the server , at no charge . you just need to summon up some sysadmin resources to finish the job . there is a fine unix guy named ben thompson who will support you , i ' m sure . task : 1 ) upgrade ram on martin ' s server 2 ) install newest solaris os on server 3 ) install tibco and gnu software on server 4 ) install sas on server clayton | 0 |

Subject: re : hello from vince kaminski at enron vince , thank you for forwarding the following messages . i am sorry that i am just now getting back to you , my lotus notes was down all afternoon yesterday . we currently have the cal berkeley general presentation set for wednesday , october 18 th at 7 : 00 p . m . which works out well because it is just prior to the time deadline for students to submit their resumes . the general presentation is a general overview of enron , the program , the interview process , as well as a chance for students to meet and chat with enron reps . since this is the first year that we are recruiting from cal berkeley , i think that it is important that i attend this event on campus so that i can answer any interview process questions . i will check the schedule and see if it is possible to move the presentation to the 23 rd . the only negative is that i will not be able to attend because i will be conducting interviews at rice that day . also , it is very difficult to find a location to hold the presentation , and i need to check on location availability on the 23 rd . however , i do think that we should take advantage of the seminar on campus . this may mean that they are two seperate trips to campus . perhaps , we can also set up some other presentations for the 23 rd or even the monday prior . although i would like to be able to attend the class / seminar presentations , i don ' t think that it is as vital as the general presentation . what are your thoughts ? thanks , ashley vince j kaminski @ ect 08 / 24 / 2000 08 : 58 am to : " shmuel oren " cc : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect , ashley baxter / corp / enron @ enron subject : re : hello from vince kaminski at enron shmuel , thanks for the message . i am working with our recruiter , ashley baxter , to finalize the date of the trip . i shall shoot for october the 23 rd if this date works for the rest of our team . vince " shmuel oren " on 08 / 23 / 2000 11 : 46 : 19 am to : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect cc : subject : re : hello from vince kaminski at enron dear vince . i sent you a reply earlier this month but i haven ' t heard from you about the date of your visit . our department has a seminar every monday . if you can schedule your visit on a monday i would like to invite you to give a seminar which will be attended by many of our graduate students and faculty and will give you an opportunity to tell them about your program . with sufficient lead - time i can advertise the seminar in the hass school to their financial engineering students . shmuel . shmuel s . oren , professor dept . of industrial engineering and operations research 4117 etcheverry hall university of california berkeley , ca 94720 - 1777 e - mail : oren @ ieor . berkeley . edu phone : ( 510 ) 642 - 1836 or 5484 fax : ( 510 ) 642 - 1403 - - - - - original message - - - - - from : to : ; ; sent : tuesday , august 08 , 2000 10 : 59 am subject : hello from vince kaminski at enron > shmuel , > > i hope you remember me . i visited you together with aram sogomonian , a > good friend of mine , a few years ago . i am currently responsible , among > other things , for recruiting graduates with finance and / or technical > backgrounds at the university of berkeley . i would be glad to give you a > call and talk more about the details of our program . my colleague , > ashleybaxter , from the analyst / associate program at enron would join me > as well . > > i am sending you a copy of the brochure about the analyst / associate > program . > > vince kaminski > > > vincent kaminski > managing director - research > enron corp . > 1400 smith street > room ebl 962 > houston , tx 77002 - 7361 > > phone : ( 713 ) 853 3848 > fax : ( 713 ) 646 2503 > e - mail : vkamins @ enron . com > | 0 |

Subject: correlation matrix reduction zhiyang , got your message . as we discussed , the best way to breakdown the big correlation matrix between different location indices is through " cluster analysis " . the idea is to select major hubs and the " satellite " markets . by establish the correlation between the hubs and correlation between the satellites and the hubs , the big matrix can be significantly reduced . then the traders only need to input the correlations between the hubs . this technique has been applied in our value at risk system . you may talk to tanya to find out the details . zimin ps : the wsprd code you requested . | 0 |
Subject: re : uk power / gas vince , just fyi : oliver ( risk control in london ) was asking if it is appropriate to use a set of factors corresponding to some commodity for another commodity . this " mapping " we do quite frequently in our var system when forward prices for a commodity are not correlated ( because of poor price history ) . i think using this kind of mappings is ok because we can not trust these correlations based on illiquid price information . if we believed the matrix with low correlations represents what goes on in the market and we simply can not reconstruct it with our 7 factors - then we might use more factors then 7 or the matrix itself . tanya tanya tamarchenko 12 / 15 / 2000 02 : 36 pm to : oliver gaylard / lon / ect @ ect cc : david port / market risk / corp / enron @ enron , rudi zipter / hou / ect @ ect , wenyao jia / hou / ect @ ect , kirstee hewitt / lon / ect @ ect , debbie r brackett / hou / ect @ ect , naveen andrews / corp / enron @ enron subject : re : uk power / gas oliver , i completely agree with you : validating var inputs like positions , prices and volatilities which are used by risktrac is the first thing to do . you also rise a valid question : if the factor loadings for some commodity do not make sense should we use the factor loadings for another commodity ? the factor loadings " do not make sense " when the correlations across the term structure are not high . so if we believe that the forward prices for this commodity are market prices and statistical analysis on these prices produces the correlations which we trust , then it would be proper to use this correlation matrix in var engine , not the factors . using factors is simply the way to speed up calculations for highly correlated prices without sacrificing the accuracy . tanya . oliver gaylard 12 / 15 / 2000 07 : 11 am to : naveen andrews / corp / enron @ enron cc : david port / market risk / corp / enron @ enron , rudi zipter / hou / ect @ ect , wenyao jia / hou / ect @ ect , kirstee hewitt / lon / ect @ ect , tanya tamarchenko / hou / ect @ ect , ganapathy ramesh / hou / ect @ ect , debbie r brackett / hou / ect @ ect subject : re : uk power / gas naveen regarding the calculation of uk vars in risk trac i agree that we should be using this calculation engine for all commodity vars . however we should not focus solely on the uk but ensure that we use risk trac for continental power and gas , uk power and gas , nordic power . to use risk trac i think the following need to be resolved first , to implement it " right the first time " , as i think it is incorrect to consider the risk trac numbers " as the most accurate " since it depends on the validity of these items : positions ( delta and gamma ) and curve mapping - these need to include all positions including those outside the main risk systems positions , curves and mapping should now be no problem given the feeds , apart from continental power , have been uat ' d and we have the spreadsheet feeds up and running . price and vol curves - as used by the risk systems as above inter commodity correlation - prompt month correlation should be easy to calculate given an accurate and complete data set ( however the incomplete historic data for europe in risk trac , prior to the formation of the task force , would mean a full data set needs to be obtained and used ) . term structure of correlation would be good but i understand this is difficult to use in the calculation . factor loadings i think factor loadings should be calculated , on the same data sets used for inter commodity correlation , for all commodities . if this analysis does not appear to work i am not sure that using factor loadings for other markets is adequate . do we need to consider an alternative approach to calculating var for these markets ? to ensure this moves forward i think a list of the mile stones , responsibilities and time lines needs to be drawn up otherwise i fear the process of moving across to risk trac from the spreadsheet var will experience some slippage . i will call today to start the process off . rgds oliver naveen andrews @ enron 06 / 12 / 2000 21 : 50 to : oliver gaylard / lon / ect @ ect cc : david port / market risk / corp / enron @ enron , rudi zipter / hou / ect @ ect , wenyao jia / hou / ect @ ect , kirstee hewitt / lon / ect @ ect , tanya tamarchenko / hou / ect @ ect , ganapathy ramesh / hou / ect @ ect , debbie r brackett / hou / ect @ ect subject : uk power / gas oliver , i had a couple of issues pertaining to uk power / uk gas . first , just a few notes as it pertains to risk trac uk - implementation : ( 1 ) in risktrac , currently all the gas curves are mapped to nbp . ( 2 ) all the power curves are mapped to r 4 ( cinergy ) . factor loading analysis lends itself only to nbp and the norewgian curves ( for reasons of liquidity , etc ) . we have decided that nbp and cinergy are the best curves available at this time . the spreadsheet which is utilized in the uk also has curves mapped to a 2 - 3 - year old set of factors derived from us nat gas , which is clearly not optimal . hence ( 1 ) we should be using risktrac numbers for var , as it is the " most accurate " , both in terms of ene - wide model usage and in terms of the most recent updated data . ever since uk power came on board in risktrac 3 weeks ago , the uk power number has been consistently 7 - 8 mm above the numbers in your spreadsheet . this difference is to be ecpected , given the different inputs . ( 2 ) the consistent numbers do not point to a data error in any obvious way , however , if you believe that positions are not captured correctly , please let our it staff know that . ( 3 ) checks which ramesh has done indicate that positions are tying in . however , as you know , there could be disconnects with enpower , etc . in any event , it would be ideal and optimal to have all the simulations run out of risktrac for reasons of aggregation and analysis . your help is appreciated . regards naveen | 0 |

Subject: re : the consultant ' s model for gary hickerson ' s group the model is supposed to be a real option model to capture the value of power plants of gencos . it is to give trader a better insight as to whether the market is overvaluing / undervaluing certain genco stocks , and trader can act accordingly . i ' m still trying to find out how trader is supposed to use it . modeling details : the model takes in all gencos ' locational power forward prices and fuel forward prices , and uses garch model to simulate one year daily prices , and then uses a hourly profile to convert them into hourly prices . garch model parameters are estimated by the consultant using and separate model and are updated twice a year , and it does not matter whether the simulation starts in january or september . using these prices , it will determine whether a unit at a particular location will be dispatched or not depending on a ) spread of power and fuel prices , and b ) whether the start - up cost can be recovered during 8 operation hours . the unit can be dispatched at minimum and peak levels . fixed o & m , sox and nox ( i don ' t know what the last two stand for ) are taken into consideration . with the simulated dispatch schedule , the model calculates the value that can be generated by this unit , then sums it up across all units . the final value is the average of 100 simulations . and it takes about 16 hours to run for about 200 units . after our conversation , the consultant promised to look into a ) how to make the model more flexible , say , to allow a different time horizon , b ) reduce spreadsheet overhead by doing calculation one unit a time and not saving all the intermediate information ( as of now it saves everything on the spreadsheet ) . assuming the garch process is modelled correctly , i believe the methodology is ok , though it does not capture most of the optionality . my concerns are : whether the price processes are modelled correctly . i have to get more details before making any conclusion . 100 simulations are way too few . unless we convert the algorithm to c , i don ' t see how spreadsheet can handle more simulations . i guess that ' s why they contact us . but again , if enron ' s buying the model from the consulting company , why should enron do their job for them ? how trader ' s going to use the model output . for this i phoned jeff ( the associate who initiated all these ) and am still waiting for his returning call . a related questions why the model horizon is one year . we can either oversee the conversation , but not doing actual coding for them . or redo the model for them . ( the problem still remains that how trader ' s going to use the output ) . but in view of the great wall of china separating the business units , should we do it ? as of now i have a simulation model taking start - up cost , fixed o & m , rump - up delay into consideration . it simulates monthly prices ( using gbm ) and takes 2 minutes 40 seconds to run 10 , 000 simulations for one unit for ten years ( 120 time steps ) . it can use forward - forward vol and incorporate seasonality into it ( i understand this is debatable ) . ( one interesting observation is that when using forward - forward vol simulation , the standard deviation is about 0 . 5 % , while standard deviation using forward vol is about 2 % . also , incorporating seasonality increases the value by about 1 . 6 % ) . since most of the time - cost occurs in price simulation , and we are to simulate about 20 price processes , i hope the full model ( if we build it ) will take a couple of hours to run for 200 units . the main task will be interfacing , i . e . , getting data from data base , and outputting the results . this is where i need most help if i am to do it . please advice the course of action . i am supposed to talk to michelle cisneros today . p . s . i never promised to oversee a programmer in our group ( see the message below ) . best , alex - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - forwarded by alex huang / corp / enron on 01 / 05 / 2001 08 : 58 am - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - jeff m gray 01 / 04 / 2001 to : gary . hickerson @ enron . com , michael . w . bradley @ enron . com , michelle . d . cisneros @ enron . com , jaime . gualy @ enron . com cc : alex . huang @ enron . com , kskinner @ ftenergy . com , cseiple @ ftenergy . com subject : fw : project timeline ken and i worked up the following timeline and refined the trading methodology a bit this morning . we also met with alex huang from vince ' s group , and explained the model and coding tasks . ken and alex have arranged to speak by phone on monday , and meanwhile alex is coordinating within the research group . alex will oversee a programmer within his group , while interfacing regularly with us . 1 / 4 kickoff 1 / 11 complete spreadsheet , table , and database structures ( rdi ) . 1 / 17 complete software coding for the pricemaker component of the model ( rdi and enron research ) , and begin testing ( enron research ) . 1 / 22 complete software coding for the dispatch portion of the model ( rdi and enron research ) , and begin testing ( enron research ) . 1 / 22 complete financial trader " user " interface , within the access environment ( rdi ) . 1 / 22 complete collection and delivery of unverified generating - unit data from rdi databases ( rdi ) . begin verification process ( rdi ) . 1 / 29 complete all charts and reports accessible from the user interface ( rdi ) . 1 / 29 complete compilation of consensus ebitda forecasts for all operations other than merchant generation ( enron financial trading ) . 2 / 9 complete code testing ( enron research ) . 2 / 9 deliver verified and quality - checked generating - unit data ( rdi ) . 2 / 9 complete the model , begin testing the trading methodology , and train users . 2 / 16 finish training , testing , and final qc . jeff | 0 |
Subject: mit research on bandwidth pricing gentlemen : amit is a former mit sloan student whose research was sponsored by a program set up by tom gros to learn more about bandwidth pricing and market effects . we worked with him quite a bit for a while , as did vince kaminski and stinson gibner , on this project . well , he has finally graduated and is in the process of having his thesis published . he has offered to come down to present his findings to anyone interested , so i am inquiring as to your level of interest in order to schedule a meeting , if appropriate . below is a short description of his work . please let me know your thoughts and if you have any questions . thanks , jay . - - james f . hawthorn enron broadband services global bandwidth risk management + 1 713 853 7606 telephone + 1 713 646 8795 facsimile - - - - - forwarded by jay hawthorn / enron communications on 03 / 29 / 01 09 : 15 am - - - - - adhadwal @ mit . edu 03 / 20 / 01 03 : 50 pm to : jay hawthorn / enron communications @ enron communications , adhadwal @ mit . edu cc : subject : hi jay , as per our discussion this morning , will be terrific to come on down to talk about the results of my thesis related to pricing & risk management of forward contracts on bandwidths . thanks to the support from enron for this work ! here ' s a brief description . we addressed the problem of pricing and risk managment of forward contracts on bandwidth under uncertain future available supply . this exposes the seller to both the risk of perishability as well as the risk of overcommitments . we consider a variety of selling strategies to map commitment risk , and show how forward pricing varies over time under these strategies . the managerial insights into dynamic forward pricing are neat ! have several graphs from simulations , and several math proofs . there are two technical pricing papers from this thesis , now submitted for publication . it will be great to share this knowledge with enron , thanks to your support for the work , and also discuss how the results may be mapped with real - life , possible modifications , and finally how they may be programmed and used . let me know your thoughts and interest level - maybe someone from vince ' s group as well ? i can make the talk as technical as you want , depending on the audience . at its core , it is math - heavy , but the insights can easily be translated to a high - managerial level view , a more detailed trader - level view , or a super - detailed research level view . cheers , - amit | 0 |
Subject: sddp model john , attached is a copy of the sddp methodology manual , written by the developers . the model was developed by mario pereira , who is the proprietor of psri ( power systems research inc ) in rio de janeiro . their web site is : www . psr - inc . com where you can find more information about the company and contact details . mario and most of the staff speak english , so phone calls are possible . development of sddp was originally done on a world bank contract to compare the benefits of new generation and transmission system interconnections in central america . it has since found much wider application . the code runs on a pc , and is licensed to a number of consultants , power companies , etc . while i was with ecnz in wellington , new zealand , we purchased a copy around 1994 . the model works with weekly or monthly time steps , with a time horizon of from 1 to 10 years , for mid to long range planning of hydro thermal power systems . it represents loads in each period as from one to five load blocks , so it is not a chronological model . this type of model can not handle thermal plant ramp rates and similar chronological system constraints . i ' m not sure how important that would be to you . the optimization phase of the model takes into account hydrological uncertainty using a form of stochastic dynamic programming with sampling . this phase sets up a function for water value in each large reservoir in the system . the simulation phase uses a number of hydrological outcomes to collect statistics on how the system would operate . the water values can be used with the short term optimization mode of sddp or in some other more detailed short term optimization model . most constraints found in hydro systems can be modelled . many transmission constraints can be modelled . a dc load flow option can be used to determine bus nodal prices . a visual basic user interface is provided which reads and writes text files . if you ' d like to know more about sddp , you could call me here in houston .

Subject: california on the brink - - cera alert cera alert : december 13 , 2000 title : california on the brink cera knowledge areas : western energy , n . american power , n . american gas california on the brink the california stalemate california moved closer to the brink of an outage today as concerns over credit - worthiness of buyers brought the possibility that generators would avoid selling to the california market . while numerous factors have contributed to the high cost of power incurred by california ' s utilities , the root cause of the current crisis is a lack of new generation . the current credit crisis and its threat to supplies could spark state action to address the situation . the collective efforts of all market participants should be focused on increasing generation capacity as quickly as possible . western power prices have skyrocketed well beyond the record levels set this summer . perhaps because frozen rates insulate the majority of california consumers and companies from tangible effects of the market crisis , regulators have been able to postpone meaningful market reforms and significant rate increases . the california public utilities commission denied the requests of pacific gas & electric and southern california edison to end their rate freezes , forcing these utilities at least temporarily to finance the costs of higher wholesale energy . this has created an unsustainable accumulation of costs and a loss of faith in the california market . the current credit crisis and the potential for blackouts may become the galvanizing events that provide state regulators with a public mandate to address the underlying structural problems in the industry . however , there is no guarantee that these regulatory actions will expedite an effective solution for customers and the industry as a whole . wholesale and retail markets that emerge from regulatory intervention are likely to remain muddled . in the necessarily political process that will follow , it is possible that - as has largely been the case so far - the steps taken will fail to move the california power market toward a more enduring solution and will instead continue to mask the underlying structural flaws . in the six months since california ' s supply shortfall began plaguing western markets , regulators have done little to address the underlying problem . rather than addressing the cause of the supply shortage - establishing a market environment that encourages timely additions of new generating capacity and demand side responses - efforts are instead directed at trying to lay blame for the crisis and lessen the immediate financial impact on customers . indeed , several actions taken thus far have served more to compound the problem by discouraging new power plant additions . these include price caps , repeated changes to market rules , attempts to seize generator profits , and a challenging siting and permitting process . medicine worse than the illness several years of electricity demand growth and low prices in california were accompanied by very few additions to the supply base . regulators did not pay adequate attention to the looming supply shortfall . the void of consensus over the cause of the current crisis has instead been replaced by a series of bandaid remedies that address the symptoms , but not the cause , of california ' s electric market woes . * * challenging siting and permitting . despite state action to better coordinate the siting and permitting process for new power plants , power plant developers still face high hurdles . local community opposition alone has struck down some key proposed facilities . * price caps discourage investment . state and federal proposals to cap prices limit the attractiveness of the california wholesale power market , especially for developers who have the option of channeling scarce capital and equipment to more stable or more attractive markets outside the state . * repeated rule changes . frequent rule changes in the iso markets ( including the price caps ) confound attempts by developers to estimate profits from new plant development . * calls for refunds . despite reports by the power exchange , the iso , and the ferc that no pattern of abuse could be found from their examination of the california markets , state officials continue to accuse power providers of gaming the market . calls by state officials for refunds of generator profits are a threat to new plant development . * facility inspections . recent inspections of power plants by state officials to verify that operators are honestly reporting the operational status of their generating units accentuates the atmosphere of mistrust . cera ' s recent analysis suggests that merchant plant developers in the west are not guaranteed ? to make a profit . prospects of new plant profitability are affected by the timing and quantity of new plants , decommissioning of older units , demand growth , and numerous other difficult - to - forecast factors . california ' s regulatory actions only further cloud the assessment of financial viability and degrade the political environment for developers considering entering the state . despite efforts by the california iso to stimulate new capacity additions in the state with a special , limited - term capacity payment , cera estimates that demand growth will continue to outstrip supply additions in the west in 2001 . in addition , the existing siting and permitting process will prevent a sufficient quantity of capacity from entering the market until 2003 at the earliest . therefore , three years remain before a sufficient quantity of capacity enters service to significantly dampen prices and decrease the risk of an outage . the road to recovery there are a number of actions that can be taken to help relieve the capacity shortfall : * encourage new build . supply must be part of the answer . this requires a series of steps that can help facilitate new supply build . while in principal some have been taken , such as new fast track approval , the success of these actions can only be measured by the build itself . for now , there is still not enough new supply coming on until 2003 to relieve supply tightness . ? * stabilize investment climate . utilities must have assurance that they will ultimately be allowed to recover market costs for power . this provides the credit worthiness needed by sellers to produce energy and to stimulate new build . * move toward more balanced utility supply portfolios . one of the reasons the pressure on customers has been so intense in california has been the absence ( and even discouragement ) of diverse supply portfolios among the utilities in the state - particularly for residential and small commercial customers . with the market at a peak , however , now is in one sense a sub - optimal time to move toward term contracting . yet these contracts provide the foundation for a series of actions - including new supply build and demand side investments . if they end up above market , they will at least have achieved the desired effect of knocking down prices , a fact which by itself should provide sufficient justification for recovering the cost of these commitments . * encourage market mechanisms that elicit a demand response . although originally a feature of california ' s market design , most consumers are insulated from price spikes through capped or frozen retail rates . exposing customers to at least some of the market price signals would encourage a demand response . * encourage market mechanisms that dampen the " boom bust " characteristic of the market . whether in the form of a capacity payment , a reserve requirement , or a minimum term portfolio requirement , the california power market needs to move to a structure that encourages investment in new capacity when the market is in balance rather than waiting for a shortage and price shock to elicit new investment . such a structure can help dampen ( but not eliminate ) future price volatility . * avoid continuously tinkering with the market . while the market does need to be restructured as described above , it also needs to be stable and reliable to encourage the development of new supply as well as a robust long - term contractual market for power in california . continually tinkering with the market structure - such as the three times the price cap has been shifted since july - only serves to undermine confidence in the market . california needs to do its best to develop a long - term solution and then let the market run its course . * allow for greater environmental flexibility . the state should explore a more balanced solution to emissions restrictions in the face of a supply shortfall that has been exacerbated by generators that cannot operate due to emissions restrictions . * free purpa power plants to generate . relief should be granted to purpa power plants that are operational , but are restricted by contract from operating to generate only power . * * end * * this cera alert will be available in pdf format within 24 hours . this electronic message and attachments , if any , contain information from cambridge energy research associates , inc .

Subject: california update - urgent please read 5 / 7 / 01 sources report that the bond authorization will be put to a vote today the bridge loan financing bill will put to a vote today in the california assembly . the republicans are currently in caucus until 3 : 30 pst and then will go to the floor for a vote . the current situation is very fluid , but sources now indicate that the bill would pass with a simple majority vote , lacking the two - thirds needed for an immediate bond issuance . if this is the case , the bill would not take effect for 90 days and the state would be forced to abandon its proposed bridge loan plans . absent of last minute financial rescues by davis or a new longer bridge loan package ( unlikely ) socal could seek voluntary bankruptcy . the main problem would then be the waiting period for financial relief from the state through the transmission line purchase or other assistance . there is an outside chance that republican defectors could precipitate from the current caucus . there is extreme pressure on the republicans from davis and angelides . if the bill failed due to lack of republican support , it would provide davis the opportunity to blame republicans for on - going expenditures of $ 70 m / day ( power purchases ) , and a possible bankruptcy by socal . the last republican who gave support to a democratic bill ( ab lx ) , representative bill campbell , lost his job . sources also confirm that democrats have not met with republicans on the bond issuance since last week . | 0 |
