Energy wholesalers on PG&E committee accused of conflict


Updated: June 1, 2001 - 2:26 p.m.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Two of the same energy wholesalers accused of driving
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. into bankruptcy with high power prices asked a
federal bankruptcy judge Friday to let them keep selling electricity to the
utility.

Critics say that could result in higher bills for ratepayers and less money
for the rest of PG&E's creditors to share, if the wholesalers' high prices
keep whittling away at the utility's remaining money.

"We certainly don't believe they should get a safe harbor order so that they
can do what they've done in the past," said Irving Sulmeyer, an attorney
representing the city and county of San Francisco.

Houston-based Enron Corp. and Dynegy Inc., like other power wholesalers, have
denied gouging Californians on the price they pay for power.

On Friday, the two companies asked U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Dennis Montali to
let them keep selling electricity to PG&E's customers via the state
Department of Water Resources, which has bought electricity on PG&E's behalf
since January.

Dynegy and Enron sit on the 11-member creditors committee that will play a
huge role in how PG&E's fortunes are divided among the more than 50,000
banks, energy companies and cities to whom the utility owes money.

The "safe harbor" would shield them from conflict of interest accusations.
The committee members would be honor-bound not to share information with any
branches of their companies able to profit from it.

"They want to be absolved in advance," Sulmeyer said. "What are they so
concerned about if they're not doing anything wrong?"

Robert Moore, an attorney representing the voluntary creditors committee,
said other committee members such as Bank of America and Merrill Lynch also
are requesting safe harbors so they can continue trading stock and remain
members.

"At least four members of the committee would have to resign without it,"
Moore told the judge.

Montali asked each committee member to file a declaration with the court
requesting to trade either commodities (electricity) or securities (stock),
and scheduled another hearing on the issue for June 12.
