Our success in achieving these objectives= =20 will define the group=01,s success in the New Year. Two of our top three objectives involve providing support to the Risk=20 Management group in EES.

Ensure that PG&E=01,s generation-related stranded cost is =01&rolled off= =018 no=20 later than September 30, 2000 and generally protect and inform EES curves ? Understand rules/tariffs/outcomes better than anyone else and convert to= =20 information valuable to business units As a general matter, it is imperative that we continue to assure ourselves= =20 that our everyday efforts are focused on achieving the objectives that are = so=20 critical to our success. The way the group provides support to EES Risk=20 Management, and in turn achieves the objectives noted above, is one area=20 where there is potential to improve performance with a refocusing of effort= s. Toward this end, I am asking that these individuals take on the=20 responsibility, for their respective regional group, of being a point of=20 contact for EES Risk Management: Mona Petrochko, Western Region Kate Wagner, South Central/Southeast Region Becky Merola, Great Lakes/Midwest Region Frank Rishe, Mid Atlantic/New=20 York/New England Region Mona, Becky, Kate and Frank will work with individuals on the EES pricing= =20 desk to improve the flow of information necessary for timely, accurate=20 utility rate curves and help EES develop strategies to improve the economic= s=20 of existing outsource deals. I expect this activity will take a significan= t=20 portion of their time. They will coordinate their efforts with Harry=20 Kingerski and Pat Keene who will continue to provide a centralized support = to=20 EES Risk Management from Houston. I recognize that many of you are called on from time to time to provide oth= er=20 types of support to EES, for sales calls, licensing requirements,=20 environmental issues, legal support, and the like. This change in no way= =20 affects these other activities and you should continue to pursue those=20 efforts. =20 As a final note, I invite all of you to identify and bring to me ways we ca= n=20 improve our chances of success in meeting any of our Year 2000 objectives. = I=20 am not interested in change just for its own sake but will certainly consid= er=20 doing things differently if our likelihood of success can be improved.=20 Best to you for the New Year!
