Secy. Goldwyn The IPP in Gaza is progressing albeit somewhat behind schedule. This combined cycle power plant is the first infrastructure development project in Gaza and the first by a major Western company anywhere in "Palestine." There are several issues which should be addressed and may be raised during the Secretary's visit. 1. All equipment for the plant must transit Israel. We have been assured by the Israelis that movement of the equipment will not be impeded as long as it is on the list of equipment we provide them. That said, there are countless opportunities for equipment to be delayed in Israel awaiting clearance, whether on the list or not. First power could be delayed indefinitely if the Israelis choose to do so for political, security, or other reasons. 2. Fuel for the plant, once operational, will also transit Israel. Again, disruption of the fuel supply for any length of time will in effect pull the plug on power in Gaza. Gas from Egypt has been discussed; it remains to be seen if that will be a reality anytime soon. 3. Although not officially from the Israeli government, we have been told that as soon as the first watt of power from the plant is produced, the Israelis will turn off supply of electricity to Gaza. The current consumption is about 110MW. The first phase of the plant will produce 40MW. This appears to be the beginning of a power supply arrangement whereby Israel sells Gaza electricity to make up the difference. That electricity is likely to be more expensive than that which the plant will supply; Enron could well end up being blamed for the higher cost. 4. Water is another critical issue. The Palestinians want their own supply of fresh water which must necessarily be desalinated. Israel is currently selling water to Gaza; it is not in Israel's best interest to lose this customer, therefore she may attempt to delay a desalination project. 5. OPIC project funding is problematical. Since they originally invited Enron to take on this project, they should necessarily also be involved. Lack of OPIC support could jeopardize other project financing and drive up costs. 6. The Israelis must also "approve" the environmental impact of the plant. The plant will meet or exceed World Bank guidelines, more so when operating on gas. While not a probem at this point, the Israelis could delay construction/operation over environmental "concerns." Andrew is the lead developer for this project and may have other issues for consideration. Thanks.

Secy. Goldwyn Mark - Good suggestion. I spoke to Scott Rebltiz who told me that important decisions are to made this week at OPIC concering the Gaza project. I will work with Scott and John Hardy to make sure that our message is consistent and helpful. I will also work with Mac for a comprehensive update and strategy. -Chris Mark Schroeder@ECT 02/09/2000 06:35 AM To: Joe Hillings/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Chris Long/Corp/Enron@ENRON cc: Steven J Kean/HOU/EES@EES, Mac McClelland/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT Subject: Department of Energy Pre-departure Briefing w/ Asst. Secy. Goldwyn Joe?Chris - this covers some of my new turf. We have, I am told, a power project in Gaza that we are working on. It is probably early days, but perhpas Mac mcClelland in Dubai can shed some light on whether we would want to get that project on the Secretary of Energy's radar screen. mcs ---------------------- Forwarded by Mark Schroeder/LON/ECT on 09/02/2000 11:33 --------------------------- Enron Capital & Trade Resources Corp.

Secy. Goldwyn TO: BCIU Members FROM: Scott McCarthy Director of Programs Ph: 212-490-0460, ext. 224 Fx: 212-697-8526 PRE-DEPARTURE BRIEFING BCIU and the U.S. Department of Energy are pleased to announce an industry briefing with: ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF ENERGY DAVID GOLDWYN IN PREPARATION FOR ENERGY SECRETARY BILL RICHARDSON'S MIDDLE EAST TRIP (EGYPT, ISRAEL, PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY, KUWAIT, AND SAUDI ARABIA) DATE: Thursday, February 17, 2000 TIME: 10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. PLACE: Department of Energy Room 7C016 1000 Independence Avenue, S.W. Washington, DC 20036 Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson is visiting the Middle East February 19-26 where he will meet with officials in Egypt, Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. He is expected to sign bilateral Science and Technology Agreements (or annexes to existing agreements) focused on solar and renewable energy, advanced power systems, and/or electric vehicle programs with Egypt and Israel, as well as an Energy Cooperation Agreement with the Palestinian Authority. He will meet the leaderships of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia on international oil company involvement in the upstream oil sector and other issues important to U.S. industry.
