Mark,
Sounds like you did heck of a job. I know that it can be difficult to plan for losing such a large amount of generation. On behalf of EPE, thank you for doing such a good job. Hope to see you down here in March. Steve From: Mark.Guzman@enron.com@enron.com on 02/16/2001 11:12 PM PST To: sburac1@epelectric.com cc: Bill.Williams.III@enron.com Subject: Re: dispatch for saturday Steve, per our discussion I purchased power for us while PV3 was coming down. After talking with you, I called APS to see if they could give me a better idea of the rampdown schedule. Per APS the ramp down was supposed to begin at 22:00 MST and the unit was to be at zero by 0:00 MST. When I ran my numbers it became clear that I would likely have to purchase of HE 24. Therefore, I puchased power for HE 24 and 1. Unfortunately, the lowest offer on the market was $400 (Next lowest offer was $600). To compound that, PV3 did not begin ramping down until approximately 22:40. I thought you should be made aware of the circumstances as, after the fact, it is obvious that I only needed to purchase for HE 1 per your dispatch. My thought process was to error on the side of system reliability in this circumstance, and if we would have had to buy within the hour I am sure prices would have been near $1000. If you have any further questions or concerns please contact me. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your help on the phone this evening.
