some quantification on hedge and rate increase. (In Tamara's summary point #
2, I think she meant Oct 1 2001).

Harry. We want later surcharge, lower surcharge, less recovery of utility
shortfall.

I hope this helps in defining our strategy for evidence.

Summary:
Unwinding our hedge in 2002 and beyond results in a $326m gain. Assuming
that our position is hedged beyond 2001.
Reseting our PG&E / SCE curves to increase $15/MWh increase in October 1,
2002, in addition to the current $10/MWh surcharge, results in a $309m loss.
Netting 1,2 setting our curve, with a $15/MWh increase in Oct, in addition to
the current $10/MWh surcharge, results in a $17m gain.

Sensitivity:
Our position is heavily weighted toward today - (MWh short T&D)
A later recovery of current year shortfall is to our advantage.
An increase in surcharge from $10 to $25/MWh in Oct 1, 2001 results in a net
$17m gain. (Base Case)
An increase in surcharge from $10 to $25/MWh in March 30, 2001 results in a
net $36m loss.
An increase in surcharge from $10 to $25/MWh in Jan1, 2002 results in a net
$44m gain.
Keeping the surcharge flat at $10/MWh results in a net $170m gain.
A longer recovery period is to our advantage:
Oct 1, 2001 to end of 2011, requires a $23.2/MWh surcharge. Results in a
$35m gain.
Oct 1, 2001 to end of 2009, requires a $26.9/MWh surcharge. Results in a $2m
loss.
Oct 1, 2001 to end of 2006, requires a $27.9/MWh surcharge. Results in a
$12m loss.
The surcharge is heavily dependent on how much recovery of current utility
shortfall is allowed.
PG&E's surcharge would be reduced by $7/MWh if they were not allowed to
recover their $6b current shortfall. Results in a $70m gain.

Our customers, on average are paying $81/MWh, all inclusive today (including
the $10/MWh surcharge). So 15/81 is a 19% increase.

If I was forced to choose today, I would:
Put the mid at Oct 1, 2001, $25/MWh surcharge. Taking a $17m gain.
Readjust the rates by rate class.
Put the Bid at Jan 1, 2001, $13/MWh surcharge.
Put the Offer at Mar 30, 2001, at $15/MWh surcharge.
Hedge 37% MWh declining to 10% by 2002.
Hedge 24% mmntu declining to 10% by 2002.
Hedge 5% tons coal from today until the end of 2011..
