Enron Mail |
As you know, Enron does not own transmission facilities and therefore is not
subject to the FERC code of conduct rules with respect to functional separation of generation and transmission. However, when Enron established 3 control areas in the SERC region in June-July 1999, a separate legal entity (Enron SE Corp) was created to provide the reliability/control area operation function for Enron's Southeast generation assets. Although functional separation is not required by FERC, Enron chose to do so because marketing/trading is indeed separate from the control area reliability function at Enron. Additionally, Enron SE Corp. (as a certified control area) is entitled to ISN and IDC data that is subject to NERC confidentiality provisions and cannot be disclosed and/or utilized by the merchant function. In order to protect the IDC and ISN information consistent with the NERC Confidentiality Agreement (for ISN data) and the OATI/NERC Non-Disclosure Agreement (for IDC data), only employees within the control area reliability function have access to the data. To highlight the importance of this confidential information, verbal and written correspondence has been provided by Enron's legal and regulatory counsel to each control area employee with specific instructions to keep all required information confidential as set forth in the NERC Confidentiality Agreement. I hope this adequately answers your question. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to call me at 713-853-5035.

[mailto:David.Taylor@powersrc.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2000 9:19 AM To: 'TomK@ecar.org' Cc: Wagoner, Greg Subject: Enron Control Area Request Tom, Please e-mail to me a copy of the presentation you gave to the ECAR Executive Board last Thursday regarding Enron's request for a new control area. I attended the meeting but the presentation was not part of the agenda package. During your presentation you mentioned that Enron has agreed to separate their marketing function from their control area function. Can you please provide a brief explanation on what this means and how Enron plans to accomplish this? Dave Taylor ---------------------------------------- David W.
