Bill; Mike Cashell (MPC's Transmission Mgr.) just phoned me concerned, beca=
use MPC's Real-Time group requested EPMI purchase energy for them under our= existing Energy Imbalance structure, and was notified by our Real-Time gro= up that due to the newly implemented FERC price cap, we were have difficult= y securing any resources. Just to clarify things, we are settling MPC's Ch= oice customers Energy Imbalance position, and PP&L Montana has the right to= any length resulting from MPC's "domestic" load Energy Imbalance. In othe= r words MPC is settling two separate Energy Imbalance accounts, so during t= he hour they may be turning energy back to PP&L Montana, while at the same = time finding themselves short for the Choice loads. During the recent bull= ish pricing conditions, Choice customer were leaving themselves long, as of= late, MPC is experiencing the Choice customers doing the opposite, positio= ning themselves short. The net result is that MPC will most likely be expe= cting us to fill a short position from this point on, so I'd really like to= see what we can do to honor their requests, mindful of the favorable posit= ion we've enjoyed over the last several months. Let me know if you'd like t= o discuss this further, or better yet if you've got a workable solution to = the problem. In the meantime, thanks again to you and your staff for the o= utstanding performance thus far in dealing with MPC. John
