Companies with solid business models should be able to achieve IPO in 2 H 2001, however timing remains uncertain 5. Energy technology segment continues to attract high level of interest on Wall Street and increasingly - the venture capital market. H: presentaPI_Charter_VS 3. ppt

Enron North America - Principal Investments Technology Investment Committee Why we like this space

Enron North America - Principal Investments Technology Investment Committee Why we like this space • Big push to increased power quality and reliability • Digital economy intolerant of grid level power quality/reliability • Fossil fuel being replaced by electricity as fuel of choice in information economy • Internet continues to pervade “old economy” • Expansion in generation capacity will increasingly be on a distributed basis • Smaller increments, closer to the end user • Deregulation and regulatory uncertainty will incentivize private sector to develop their own power solutions independent of the grid • Electricity infrastructure will (quickly) become increasingly networked • Grid/peak shavers/standby • Differentiated pricing will require real time metering • Monitoring, control and measurement technologies will become mission critical • Energy technology market estimated to total $50 billion within the next 5 years and $100 billion by 2010 • Investment in energy tech at same stage as investment in telecoms in 1986 • Enron uniquely positioned to capture value - based on name/reputation and commercial and technical capabilities H: presentaPI_Charter_VS 3. ppt 14

Enron North America - Principal Investments Technology Investment Committee Charter / Strategy in Current

Enron North America - Principal Investments Technology Investment Committee Charter / Strategy in Current Environment • Energy Tech is here to stay - increased investor attention focused on energy technology sector will not go away anytime soon • All major Wall Street firms have dedicated research and corporate finance teams focused on segment • Targeted energy tech funds have become popular (Ballentine, Perseus/GE, Merrill Lynch, Nth Power, Bank Sarasin, etc. ) • Market recognizes importance of technology in improving/maintaining electricity infrastructure • Private valuations and deal structures have become more investor friendly • Substantial pools of capital have retreated from the technology VC market; those who stay the course have an outstanding opportunity to consolidate their position and pick up some bargain investments • Status of Enron as a preferred “strategic” investor based on reputation and position in energy markets has been enhanced • Need to exploit current market to round out portfolio on a selective basis and cement our position as partner of choice in energy technology area • Achievement of 2001 budget heavily dependent on rebound in IPO market for technology companies • 1 -2 scheduled IPO’s comprise bulk of anticipated margin • Investment strategy for 2001 • No fundamental change in charter necessary • Focus should be on selectively adding to portfolio where we see value • Heightened vigilance in reviewing new investments in order to fully exploit: • Cyclical downturn in public equity markets • Substantial decrease in liquidity in private markets - leading to less aggressive valuations and deal structures that provide substantial downside protection • Enhanced value of Enron as marquee investor H: presentaPI_Charter_VS 3. ppt 15
