Chris --

Given this development, now may be the right time for Enron to come in and 
make a "public" offer to SDG&E.  We may be able to put some pressure on the 
CPUC to approve a full requirements offer that works with the legislative 
rate cap.

I'll be in contact with you to discuss.

Jim

Surprise, surprise.  

SDG&E is afraid to do anything without the pre-approved reasonableness from 
the CPUC which I don't think will be obtained.

Subject: SDG&E Bilateral Authority Delay


SDG&E would like to inform you that  we did not gain authority from the
commission on 9/7 and cannot enter into bilateral trades at present; (2) we
anticipate receiving that approval on September 21; we will solicit new
proposals between now and then and look forward to your continuing
participation, as well as your assistance in gaining the necessary
regulatory approvals.  Thanks
