I realize that the timing of the hourly non-firm transmission is difficult. The financial cost to Enron Canada is C$6.40 per MWh for every MW we buy from BC and can't flow- in excess ot C$1,400 last night. Are there any players in the Pacific NorthWest who Enron can use as a buyer of last resort? Do have any suggestions that may alleviate the "no buyer found" problems? Bill Greenizan 403-974-6773
