		 Subject: URGENT: REQUEST TO PRODUCE AS MUCH POWER AS POSSIBLE

California Senator Feinstein, Governor Davis, Secretary of Energy Richardson, 
and FERC Commissioner Hoecker held a joint press conference related to the 
California energy problem.  They indicated a critical need for supply TODAY 
to serve the California marketplace.  Secretary Richardson indicated he will 
exercise his emergency power under the Federal Power Act [section 202(c)] to 
direct generation to California.  The Secretary indicated that DOE, under the 
FPA, will set a fair price for the power.
 
IEP requests all its members to deliver as much generation as possible to 
California ASAP in order to avert potential shortages.  
 
In addition, the Governor and Senator Feinstein called for regionwide price 
caps and mandatory, reasonable long-term contracts between generators and the 
utilities.  They made the point that 4,000 - 5,000 MWs are being exported 
from the state, currently a lack of adequate planning and scheduling of 
resources/planned outages exists, and indicated that the CPUC would moved to 
implement forward contracting.  
 
IEP will forward the formal statement from the Press Conference (or a 
summary) as soon as available.
