SJSU), we need to defer the Santa Cruz meter installation. I will need to get a 'read' from PG&E before we waste any of the UCSC's money. I have asked Jeff Dasovich to include this issue in his Rule 21 and 22 arguments before the CPUC. More fireworks to follow.

It is an important one to resolve. You broke the logjam. Thanks. I propose the following tasks to get started: ? Validate the list of meters below to insure that it is complete - Action: OMD ? Identify the full life cycle cost impact per campus and account - Action: OMD ? Send letters to each campus to offer the meter change, identify the value and benefits of the change, clarify schedule and cost impacts and request confirmation of their willingness to change out the meters - Action: Draft by OMD, review and distribution by AM ? Investigate the installation of transdata meters with or without phone lines to replace the Santa Cruz cogen meters - Action: CSC Also, I would like to investigate the possibility of extending the EnergySense "no cost" option beyond 12/99. Its value is just beginning to be utilized because of the many missteps in the beginning. I would recommend a year extension. If approved, this should be included in the letter to the customer. Let's talk while I am in Houston next week.

As I recall, the reason we used existing IDR meters was to mitigate the cost to the campuses. The only instance where we were not able to change PGE's meters was at Santa Cruz (cogen), but we may be able to come up with a different solution with Steve Krein and Ben Garcia's input. How should we proceed? ---------------------- Forwarded by Diann Huddleson/HOU/EES on 10/21/99 11:54 AM --------------------------- << OLE Object: Picture (Device Independent Bitmap) >> Enron Energy Services From: Robert J Smoot 10/21/99 10:03 AM Phone No: 713-853-7946 To: Diann Huddleson/HOU/EES@EES cc: Robert Kettyle/HOU/EES@EES, Clifford R Pelchat/HOU/EES@EES, Annamaria Bosley/HOU/EES@EES, James Wright/Western Region/The Bentley Company@Exchange Subject: Re: UC/CSU PG&E meter data << File: Notes Link >> Diann, Your point is well taken. We need to get the ball rolling and investigate the possibility of replacing these IDR meters with Enron meters. The following list of 16 meters are the ones that pose the problems. For about $430/meter, we could eliminate this issue for $6880. This amount should be charged back against the deal, but it really is a small price to pay to resolve this menacing issue. Please initialize the dialogue necessary to achieve this goal so we can get to some level of customer satisfaction involving this problem. Your efforts are appreciated and if you need any further information, please contact me.

Jim, do you know of any reason we can't replace these IDR meters with Enron meters? I know that Tom C. and I had discussed that last spring, but I never got a definite go-ahead to do it. It may be the best solution. << OLE Object: Picture (Device Independent Bitmap) >> Enron Energy Services From: Robert J Smoot 10/21/99 08:04 AM Phone No: 713-853-7946 To: adeller2@csc.com @ ENRON, ppriest2@csc.com @ ENRON cc: Robert Kettyle/HOU/EES@EES, Clifford R Pelchat/HOU/EES@EES, rcoates4@csc.com, Diann Huddleson/HOU/EES@EES, Mark Finkle/Omnicomp@EES, Narayan Moni/HOU/EES@EES Subject: UC/CSU PG&E meter data Art and Pat, We are really under the gun to deliver on this issue involving the PG&E meters located throughout the UC/CSU campuses. We (EEIS) have tried to assure those interested parties repeatedly that we will deliver on this ability to display PG&E data via EnergySense and have not came close to satisfying this commitment. This has been an ongoing ulcer, so to speak, since I came into the loop late last March. I have been told many reasons why we can't display the data and some possible solutions to make this evolution happen. But up to now, no solid answers or solutions have been provided. As you may know, we are providing this service at no charge to the UC/CSU campuses until 12-31-99. At that time, EEIS would like to present this service to the campuses in a revenue generating contract. But unless we get this last sticking point involving the PG&E meters resolved, there are some vocal critics within the UC/CSU structure that will most likely be opposed to the continued usage of the EnergySense product, especially when it would be on a pay-for basis from 12-31-99 and beyond. They (the campuses) view this problem as a simple fix. In fact, one campus's most important meters to view are PG&E meters which currently can't be displayed. This particular location has four non-accessible meters via EnergySense and are a result of this PG&E problem. This is becoming a serious customer satisfaction issue that needs to be moved up on the priority list and deserves a positive resolution. We can display some of the interval data involving PG&E meters, but not for all of the meters. I have previously forwarded a list of the problem meters to Pat Priestley for action. She did respond that she was working on a resolution, but we now must get a quicker remedy in place. Your cooperation and assistance involving this matter will be appreciated. Should you have any questions, please contact me. I will be looking forward to receiving a response on how to solve this issue in a timely manner. I would like to communicate the resolution to the involved parties by the first of next week. Thanks, Robert
