rket Deciphering and responding to elements driving the changing competitiv=
e power and natural gas markets is an inordinately complex task. The chal=
lenge has proven to be too difficult for even some of the largest players;=
those which have appeared to be the most stable and capable. The plights =
of Enron, the California Power Exchange, SDG&E and PG&E highlight the diff=
iculties that sophisticated market participants and regulators face when t=
rying to manage change. The Enron collapse, in particular, should drive ho=
me the extent of exposure that interconnected counterparties and market pa=
rticipants face. The market is impartial and unforgiving. From the biggest=
to the smallest; the public and the private, all face similar risks and =
have similar needs. The major ratings agencies and the financial community=
have begun to focus heavily on the risks and information requirements of =
the power industry. We, as active market participants, must also be concer=
ned about these risks, taking steps to identify, measure and mitigate them=
as much as possible. In most cases, the difference between success and fa=
ilure depends on whether you have access to the right data and are able to=
use it in the right way in a timely manner. Maintaining a competitive a=
dvantage and surviving the volatile swings of transacting in competitive e=
nergy markets requires having access to, and being able to interpret and r=
espond to, the right data before such information becomes commonly obvious=

veloping the capability and foresight to take preventative and proactive s=
