Enron Mail |
Last week they made $35,000 total. They made $20,000 one of the days. We
had some problems accessing this transmission and others were getting it before us, so we talked about submitting more requests (I anticipated that several traders would submit a request at the same time). In Enron trader fashion, they automated the submission, which then created the problem for SPP. Since the problem with SPP is now solved, they told me that they should be able to get this transmission most days when ERCOT is a better bid than SPP, as well as on days when SPP is better (same process for coming into SPP). They said this will be valuable to them year round on most days. P.S. The FERC lawyer that SPP called is Stuart Fischer, who was my major Hotline contact for Summer 99. He gave me some helpful info about what FERC had told MAPP with a similar computer problem on MAPP's DC tie line. Then he said that he wants to talk about EPMI's other hotline concerns and problems!

Yesterday, SPP called FERC because the hourly desk was submitting 150 requests for the same transmission (within several minutes) over the DC tie in order to meet the noon allocation. I spoke with SPP and FERC and compromised in submitting less requests, plus we changed our program to work more efficiently. This change still resulted in the hourly desk winning the transmission (worth appr. $20,000 day).
