On Friday, January 26, 2001, an earthquake rocked the western region of
India. The earthquake reportedly had a magnitude of 7.9 and was centered in the state of Gujarat. Initial reports indicate the death toll to be at least 15,000. Most of the damage was reported in Ahmedabad, the state's commercial center. Enron has a significant business presence in India. It has E&P interests off the Gujarat coast and is the majority owner of the Dabhol Power project, ultimately a 2,184 MW (net) generating plant, serving consumers in the state of Maharashtra, which borders Gujarat to the south. Consequently, Enron Oil and Gas India Limited (EOGIL), Enron India and DPC have mobilized staff and resources in India to tangibly assist the relief effort (e.g. contributing emergency medical supplies). Enron employees are encouraged to donate to relief efforts and to take advantage of our Matching Gift Program to double the impact of your donation. Enron will match, dollar for dollar, every donation that you make, up to $15,000 annually per employee.
