Interoffice Memorandum

To: All ESA Employees

From: James Bannantine
Diomedes Christodoulou


Subject: ESA ORGANIZATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT Date: January 24, 2000


1999 was a great year for Enron South America. In addition to consolidating
our unique position in the region and despite the economic upheaval from the
currency devaluation in Brazil, we were able to generate significant net
income and position ESA as an important business unit for Enron. Moreover,
1999 was a great year for Enron as a whole. The success of the strategy to
rely increasingly on intellectual capital is reflected in the recent rise in
our stock price.


To keep the momentum going in our region we must now steer the business
toward the creation of a regional merchant platform. To facilitate this goal
we have decided to reorganize by customer type. Below are the highlights of
the new structure, which will consist of five major P/L centers:


The Wholesale Merchant Unit will be responsible for gas and power marketing
and supply at the wholesale level. This team will also handle asset
development projects, financial products and all other deals involving
wholesale suppliers and customers. Brett Wiggs will lead the Wholesale
Merchant Unit.


The Direct Sales Unit will focus on developing the industrial market. A key
objective will be to expand our role from that of an energy supplier at the
user gate to a broader role inside the fence and become a total energy
manager for the industrial customer through outsourcing with Enron. Don
Black will lead the Direct Sales effort.

Our asset platform will be reorganized into three major units to include:
(a) Generation and Pipeline Assets, to be led by Peter Weidler; (b) Gas
Distribution Assets, which will continue to manage all our gas distribution
companies, to be led by Rick Waddell, and © Electricity Distribution
Assets (Elektro), which will continue to be operated under the leadership of
Orlando Gonzalez. All our assets will be organized internally to reflect our
merchant strategy.


In addition, we will continue to have the existing support functions with
some minor modifications.


The M&A function will be expanded to include capital management of our assets
and will become part of the Regional Finance Unit headed by Joe Kishkill. The
Regional Finance Unit will also include funding, accounting, treasury,
information systems and communications.


The Risk Management function will also be expanded and will include
structuring, modeling and pricing. This function will support the
activities of all the P/L centers. We are currently actively recruiting
internally for this position.


Legal, Regulatory and Government Affairs, and Human Resources/Administration
will continue to be under the leadership of Randy Young, Jos, Bestard and
Miguel Padron respectively. We are also actively recruiting for the head of
Public Relations for the region.


The Executive Committee of ESA will be represented by all the above mentioned
individuals. A copy of the organizational chart reflecting these changes is
included. Further communications will be sent to all ESA employees as we
complete the organizational process.
