Steve:  FYI.  Don't worry about the conference call, but thought it might be 
useful to review the proposals prior to Monday's meeting.

See you Monday.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Best,
Jeff

Several IEP companies have been invited to a meeting with the Governor,s 
staff next Monday, November 27th.
The following are some options, which the Governor,s office is considering.  
IEP is doing some preliminary research on some of these topics.  IEP would 
like to arrange a teleconference call around noon on Monday, November 27th to 
discuss the Governor,s meeting.  Please advise us as to whether your have 
been invited, and who you are sending.
California,s electricity supply situation has two inter-related problems ) 
(1) high wholesale electricity costs, and (2) marginally adequate supply of 
generation ) both have combined to create a dysfunctional wholesale 
electricity market.  The goals should be:
 To assure reliable electricity to California consumers for the lowest 
reasonable cost.
o Consider requiring that all in-state generation be sold in state.
o Consider re-asserting state authority over the operation, maintenance and 
safety practices of all in-state generating facilities, for public health and 
safety purposes.
o Consider developing a state power authority to build generation and 
own/operate transmission.
o Consider requiring utilities both to retain existing and to build new 
generation.
o Consider providing utilities with authority to stabilize retail prices to 
be paid by consumers through development of an energy portfolio that reduces 
exposure to spot markets, including contracting forward for much more of 
their unmet power needs.
o Consider extending consumer rate freeze.
o Consider centralizing power plant dispatch like the other ISOs in the rest 
of the country.
o Consider eliminating the ISO and assigning its functions to either a state 
or private entity that can acquire the transmission facilities, and control 
the electricity transmission grid (MUNIs have proposed this).
o Consider sponsoring/supporting legislation to change the ISO and PX boards 
to increase accountability.
o Expand energy conservation programs focused both on immediate peak demand 
reduction and on longer term, broader-based programs.
o Aggressively work to site new generation and transmission facilities, to 
streamline permitting, and to develop renewable resources.
o Call for/sponsor federal FERC reform legislation that would:
o Impose a regional price cap that varies by time of day and year;
o Set requirements for FERC to use its retroactive refund authority;
o Improve FERC enforcement over price gouging practices;
o Affirm the role of states to protect their customers from unjust prices.
o Pressure the FERC to do its job to (1) bring about responsible seller 
behavior in wholesale electric markets through price controls and other 
market interventions as necessary, and (2) provide refunds to affected 
consumers.

Jeff Dasovich and Steve Kean are attending.  Someone can be on a call -- me 
if no one else -- if Jeff and Steve are travelling at the time. Hey, does the 
Governor have to fly coach?
