So all this means is that the prohibition still has not been implemented and there currently is nothing before the commission to implement. Sure would have been nice if the commission had passed it, though. Also, did I tell you that i'm in a meeting all day tomorrow in houston and therefore can't do an update call with edward's? i can, however, do it on monday. best, jeff William Gang@EES 03/07/2001 08:28 PM To: Jeff Dasovich/Na/Enron@ENRON cc: Subject: Re: PUC Approves DWR Language in Decision; Removes Language Staying Commission Action on Direct Access Does this mean that the Commission has, de facto, prohibited direct access? If so, when is it effective?

The decision that got voted out included Bilas' DWR-based language stating that the PUC 1) would not second-guess DWR purchases and 2) would pass through DWR costs to customers. However, in a move led by Commissioner Carl Wood, the decision removed the Bilas language on Direct Access. The decision therefore did NOT include the Bilas language staying any Commission action on implementing the Direct Access prohibition. Carl Wood called including Direct Access "the height of arrogance." The decision was voted out 3-2, with the 2 remaining Republicans dissenting. That said, the Commission has no proposal before it implementing the prohibition, and there was no talk at the meeting of implementing the prohibition any time soon. Best, Jeff
