SUBJECT:     HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SCUG MEETING ON 10/28



         --20 organizations have expressed interest in becoming an SC on 1/1/98
         or soon after that.

         --SCs are to submit master file data to ISO via an Excel Spreadsheet or
         MS Access. There is no defined business process for sending changes to
         ISO. ISO offered to SCs to work together to figure out how to do that.

         --ISO, based on Ziad's recommendation (and against my recommendation)
         committed to the SCs to allow 1 MW tolerance for balanced schedules
         from each SC. This will create difficulty for CONG that expects the
         overall system to be balanced within 1 MW. I cautioned Ziad that we may
         not be able to do this. (and would probably need a change order).

         --ISO presented the final draft of its take out points based on the
         current SA data. A major task for utilities is now to create a mapping
         between the grid take out points and distribution feeder IDs to create
         a correspondence between customers and take out points.

         --SCUG has identified their highest priority issues as follows: 1)
         Portfolio energy bidding, 2) zonal (small network) congestion
         management., 3) portfolio ancillary services bidding. They had a
         meeting with ISO last week and had discussed. They are meeting with ISO
         again next week.

         --Susan Schneider, the VP of customer services of ISO was introduced.
         She claimed she is going to look at SCUG as the ISO customers and would
         try to create a customer oriented culture at ISO. She is going to look
         into SCUG training needs and possibility of funding SCUG meetings in
         the future to get a resolution.

         --At SCUG's request, ISO gave an update on our training program. SCUG
         is still interested in seeing a more detailed course outline for SC
         training so that they can decide who to send to which segment of the
         training.

         --SCUG interested in sacrificing accuracy of GMMs to simplify things.
         They asked ISO to look into using seasonal GMMs, perhaps with peak and
         off-peak variations.

         --Unified Information presented their software system, which is
         intended to help SCs prepare their bids to the ISO.

         --I made another contact at Power Trading of ENRON, Thresa Allen
         (713-853-6598). She is going to participate in ISO ODR at Folsom. She
         could be a good entry point for selling training or consulting services
         to ENRON.
