Forecasts for Electric Gen Growing Source: NERC Load & Resource Reports

Big Bang Growth Case EEA Model used as Base Structure Engine for GRI and Other Forecasts 1998 Base Data North American Perspective Updated Projections of Canadian Demand Net Mexico Demand Exogenous Modifications LNG, Sable Island Alaskan Supply Unconstrained Supply

Big Bang Growth Case

U.S. GDP grows at 2.5% per year North American electric demand grows at 1.9% per year Industrial production grows at 3% per year Canadian GDP grows at 3% per year through 2005, then slows to 2% per year thereafter Canadian Tar Sands production’s demand for gas grows to 1 Bcfd by 2010 RACC declines to $22.58/bbl by end of 2002 and grows at 1.5% per year (nominal) thereafter Background Assumptions

Major Predictions Coal generation capacity flat Exports to Mexico grow to 1.0 Bcfd by 2005 and remain flat thereafter LNG imports exceed 3.5 Bcfd by 2010 Sable Island production up to 2 Bcfd by 2010

Major Projections Gas grows at 3% per year Alaska gas increases demand by 2.6 Bcfd (excluding LP&F impact) Nominal prices at Henry Hub peak at $4.35 during the forecast period

Big Bang Demand Case

Mexico 2.7% AAGR in demand for natural gas from 1991 to 1997 Total gas demand forecasted to grow 5.3 Bcfd by 2008 Annual growth rate exceeding 9% Electric Sector expected to grow at a rate exceeding 20% – 2.5 Bcfd Source: Natural Gas Market Perspective , Ministry of Energy. Race between gas infrastructure investment and electric generation Production estimated grow at 7% rate 1998 Production = 1.26 Tcf or 3.5 Bcfd Over 78% located in southern regions

Mexico Will Continue to Rely on Natural Gas Imports Source: Natural Gas Market Perspective & , Ministry of Energy. Balance (supply less demand) MMCFD Balance with investment Balance without investment Mexico’s demand for U.S. gas modeled to grow to 1 Bcfd by 2005 and remain flat thereafter

El Paso and Enron Value Added

Why are we Interested? Strategic Focus on the North Development of New Gas Supply Increase clean BTU supplies to N. America Allow market growth Improve utilization of existing pipeline grid Opportunities for New Investment Significant N. American Pipeline Project A Core Competency – “It’s What We Do For A Living!”

How Can We Add Value? U.S. Political/Regulatory Expertise FERC Environmental Agencies Governmental Players Successful Market Players Trading/Marketing/Risk Management Consumers - Power Plants (~13,000 MW/~2.2 Bcfd) Enron currently owns 6000 MW in US Market Access Involved in all major U.S. markets Excellent relationships with consumers Owner of significant import capacity

How Can We Add Value? EPC Expertise Physical Operating Capability Recognized “Best in Class” Existing Infrastructure Economies of Scale Widely Respected “Industry Innovators” Source of Equity Management Commitment

Conclusions Demand Will Be There IF Confidence in Supply Maintained Pricing Levels in 2007 – 2010 Appear to Support Alaskan Gas El Paso & Enron Can Supply Considerable Pipeline & Market Expertise
