Re: Comments on ACR re SCE's MOU

I agree with Jim -- we're less concerned about the mechanism for true-up. I
think our main concern with the part of the MOU related to URG is who gets
the benefits -- and tying that position into whatever we decide on other
issues.

Team --

My initial response is that this is not a key issue for Enron (given
everything else). I'd rather simply know how the process is to work going
forward, than make a big case either way.

Subject: Comments on ACR re SCE's MOU

About ten days ago, I sent the attached E-mail containing an Assigned
Cmmr.'s Ruling pertaining to the SCE MOU. The ACR set forth a "model" for
determining revenue requirements for SCE's retained generation. On Friday,
SCE, as directed, filed comments on the Ruling. Comments from other parties
are due this Friday, the 11th.

Of primary importance is that SCE used its comments to promote the
methodology for recovery of retained generation costs it had set forth in
Advice 1534-E-A (forwarded to you last week). This method provides for an
annual rate true-up mechanism and trigger mechanism. Such mechanisms allow
for rate increases (or decreases) with the filing of an advice letter.

If we are opposed to such trigger / true-up mechanisms we need to submit
comments on Friday and/or a protest of the Advice Filing (also due on the
11th).
