Chris,
You have probably done this already but please insure that
accounting/transaction support (Herman Manis or Cris Sherman) have reviewed
the proposed sale structure to insure the appropriate accounting treatment
for this transaction.

Also, I will need to review and approve all the agreements with NorthWestern
before they are finally agreed to between the parties and executed. As for
the purchase of the assets out of the financing facility, Kay knows the
required documents from the Intergen deal. There needs to be close
coordination amongst all the internal groups to insure your deal closes
timely and accurately. Remember in your negotiations that the money from
NorthWestern needs to be received into escrow a minimum of 5 Business Days
before the closing date. The financing requires the purchase notice (which
is irrevocable so if Enron provides it and NorthWestern walks, the turbines
are on Enron's balance sheet at 15% interest rate essentially) be provided to
the banks at least 5 but not more than 15 Business Days prior to closing date
for purchase from the financing vehicle.

Thanks for the heads up.

Lisa,

Sorry, I should have included you in the initial distribution.

Ben Jacoby and I are in negotiations with NorthWestern Corporation in a deal
to place the two GE 7EA's (Blue Dog) turbines. NorthWestern has indicated a
strong interest in adding the dual fuel option to the February 2002 delivered
turbine. We hope to have NorthWestern sign the LOI by next Friday, 16
(3/16/01) and pay the "Development Fee". This transaction should be similar
to the Intergen deal, with the exception that instead of moving two turbines
out of the 24 LM 6000 master contract, we plan on assigning the entire Blue
Dog contract to a LLC that Enron will own 100% at the time of transfer and
then sell 80% to NorthWestern.

I want to have the change order ready for execution once we come to terms
with NorthWestern. In the event that the deal blows up, we will probably
execute the change anyway. Please let me know if you have any questions or
concerns.

Chris

Chris, Global Finance (Lisa Bills) needs to be kept in the loop on this,
since this is in TurboPark.

Renee and Brian,

Please prepare a change order to add dual fuel to the February '02 delivery
turbine. The price and commercial information is below. I have gotten Jeff
Darst to extend the deadline to exercise the change order to 16 March 2001.

Please make sure we get the change order prepared before the deadline expires.
