Dirk/Jay - thanks for the quick response. I want to insure we have
accurately portrayed the situation to you both (the real duration of our requests, and the real response time of the utilities). Don't want anyone to walk into a response of "..... we've only had that request for XX days....". We do need help though if we want to achieve our aggressive schedule. We are falling behind our target schedule due to a lack of pulse meter contact installations. How hard would it be to get informal org charts for the metering side of SCE, SDGE, and PGE (just simple bob works for jim who works for tom who reports to bill), and......, to identify who (within Enron/CEC/ISO) has the relationship(s) with those groups? The execution side of the boxter effort asked Jay who they could talk to to insure we were working "smart" in California with respect to getting interval meters modified to include pulse contacts. The execution team wants to insure that we aren't standing in the wrong long line. We want to know who we could/should call to express our "appreciation" for all their cooperation, and to insure they knew our aggressive timetable. How many times have you/we heard "........ oh....., that's what you are doing....., if someone had just called me........, I could have........". The request for "contacts" (and to know the metering org chart inside each of these three utilities) was so we could attempt to penetrate those three org's (SCE, SDGE, PG&E) at the optimum level. Additionally - if we have acct mgmt folks that have relationships - we want to leverage those. Tom - can you provide to those listed above the short exec summary of what we have requested from SDGE, SCE, PGE, and...., what their response has been (use the attached XLS chart). Help charactarize when we officially made request, so that we provide an accurate perception of the three utility's responses.

Before the program can be implemented, customer facilities need to be equipped with a pulse generating meter (a modified version of a regular meter). As we are no longer the MSP we now have to rely on the UDCs to install these meters. We fully expect to pay for these installations but we are getting major push back in SCE and PG&E territory with respect to scheduling these installations. If we were to go by PG&E's schedule (12 weeks), the summer will be over and most benefits will be lost. We are under the impression that Enron is plain dirt in the eyes of the UDC employees, and we are being singled out by the rank and file folks as the major culprit for the energy crisis. However primitive that opinion is, we are stuck with it. Please note Jay Ferry's contention below. Is there a way for you to nudge some UDC executives and ask them to instruct their field crews to start cooperating? We could use the help.

Do you know the chain of command there and if there is anyone higher that we could call if work continues to move along at a snail's pace. Please call me (713-646-7086) or respond by e-mail, if you can't reach me. Thanks, j
