The chal= lenge has proven to be too difficult for even some of the largest players;= those which have appeared to be the most stable and capable. The plights = of Enron, the California Power Exchange, SDG&E and PG&E highlight the diff= iculties that sophisticated market participants and regulators face when t= rying to manage change. The Enron collapse, in particular, should drive ho= me the extent of exposure that interconnected counterparties and market pa= rticipants face. The market is impartial and unforgiving. From the biggest= to the smallest; the public and the private, all face similar risks and = have similar needs. The major ratings agencies and the financial community= have begun to focus heavily on the risks and information requirements of = the power industry. We, as active market participants, must also be concer= ned about these risks, taking steps to identify, measure and mitigate them= as much as possible. In most cases, the difference between success and fa= ilure depends on whether you have access to the right data and are able to= use it in the right way in a timely manner. Maintaining a competitive a= dvantage and surviving the volatile swings of transacting in competitive e= nergy markets requires having access to, and being able to interpret and r= espond to, the right data before such information becomes commonly obvious= . Hindsight is 20/20 - success in evolving markets is achieved through de= veloping the capability and foresight to take preventative and proactive s= teps.
