[Sorry guys, I didn't click "reply all" on this reply to Jim.]

Given recent press releases, it seems as if the governor is suggesting that
the use of "real-time meters" be increased so as to give correct price
signals to customers.

Do you--or any sources in California--know if they foresee increasing the
on-peak charge? This would effectively result in only commercial and
industrial customers paying for the shortfall.

Regarding rate-specific forecasts:

I suggest using the current frozen tariffs as a starting point, with the
forecasted generation cost increases to be applied as a straight $/MWh
adder. This would allow MRW efforts to be concentrated on generation cost
forecasts -- which is obviously the biggest uncertainty.

As a side issue, I would ask that they provide their perspective on how
bundled generation might be priced on a go-forward basis. For example, if
they see the IOU's going back to old-school demand and energy charges. Or,
if they see that the on or off-peak percentages might change. Given their
knowledge of rate-making practices in California, this should take minimal
time and provide all that is needed. They would then be set up to do some
what-ifs on existing rate structures.

On your last point, I think that we need to as rate class specific as
possible without delaying their work. Disagreements?

Spoke with Bill Munson and Roger Yang of MRW

Scope of project would be rate forecast for PGE and SCE industrial/commercial
class customers for 24-36 month period providing alternate scenarios for
certain issues - MRW will provide assumptions Friday morning.

Cost - Close of Monday deliverable - $10k
- Thursday - $7k

FYI - Submitted RCR for $25K

With respect to determination of "Net Short" generation cost - MRW suggested
generation cost be allocated on a cost incurrence basis (no subsidies) and
that we agree as to mix of DRW portfolio and utilize Enron forward curves to
price out

Provided to MRW utility tariff schedules that majority of positions are
under. Need to determine if we want an individual rate projection, average
rate class projection or benchmark projection (%increase).
