He has sent to Jeff, Mike McConnell (who told him he's forwarding to Dan Reck, who is in charge of the new freight business), Lou Pai and Andrew Miles, Tom White and David Cox. ---------------------- Forwarded by Rosalee Fleming/Corp/Enron on 03/02/2001 08:28 AM --------------------------- Enron Energy Services From: Chad Tipton @ EES 03/01/2001 06:12 PM To: Kenneth Lay/Corp/Enron@ENRON cc: Subject: Enron Opportunity Ken, My name is Chad Tipton. I am currently a Development Support Manager with EES in the Integrated Asset Management (IAM). Recently, I had the good fortune to meet, Ron Hosmer. He represents a company called IdleAire Technologies, Inc.. IdleAire is a startup company started in 1999. IdleAire has developed a system to eliminate truckdrivers from having to idle their trucks while on long haul overnight stops. Their plan is to electrify truckstops and install remote HVAC units to eliminate truck idling. Also, these units provide cable TV and internet services. They have already piloted the technology in several truckstops in the Knoxville, TN area. IdleAire's goal is to: "........evolve the nation's truck stops and travel centers into the largest truck stop electrification network in the world. We are taking truck stop electrification to the next level. Our travel center conversions provide heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) at every parking space. We also provide drivers in-cab telephone, Internet and television." Idle Air has caught the attention of many interest groups in Washington, D.C. Ron tells me that they have already gained support from Tennessee congressmen, including Jimmy Duncan and Van Hilleary. Also, former House Speaker, Newt Gingrich is on the board of directors of IdleAire Technologies. These individuals support this technology because it reduces emissions and helps state quality for CMAQ funds. I had mentioned to Ron, that I worked for Enron and informed him about what we do. He and I both felt that Enron may be interested in developing a strategic partnership to take their technology to market. Ron said that they are looking for a strategic partner with energy related experience and the capital to invest in this project. Enron would benefit in several ways: 1. Greater than average returns. 2. Increased publicity and recognition in Enron's environmental role. (EPA Energy Star Label, EPA Climate Protection Award, etc....) 3. Increase markets for electricity and possibly gas. 4. Maintain Enron's title of innovation leader. 5. Open a whole new market for the energy services group. (EES) Long term maintenance contract, commodities, etc.... 6. Open a new market for the broadband services group. (EBS) Videos on demand. I believe this opportunity is very synergistic with Enron's business model. If you would be interested in talking with Ron, I would be happy to introduce him to you. They have a very comprehensive business plan that lays out their business in detail. I have arranged for him to provide us with an executive summary of the business. You can also find out more about the company by visiting their website at: www.idleaire.com Thank you for your time. Chad Tipton 5-5310
