RE: Mead Congestion Issue

Keoni,
I am not concerned with the improperly posted ATC's. I am concerned that our bids to relieve congestion were awarded but that the respective dollar value for those bids was incorrect. We have had problems in the past with misentry of our congestion management bids. However, in this case, the awarded congestion management bids look correct to me, and it appears that the CAISO published price is not appropriate for the amount of mws flowed. I would like to figure this out as soon as possible so that we can fix any problems that might exist on our end.

Please give me a call when you have a chance.

Thanks,
Bill

< Hi Keoni,
< Sorry that I forgot to send this to Bill also. I did hear a final

< Hi Wes,
< Just to update you with what I have heard so far. I am being told that

< calculated but are not sure why the ATC didn't post the correct number.
< When I get the final and complete picture I will pass on to you.
