BUSINESS SERVICE AGREEMENTS

• ABB/Energy Interactive, Inc. -Strategic Metering Project - Energy Management Services - Customer Services. This amendment would add a "load curtailment module" to our existing contract for the purpose of providing staff and customers with access to ABB/Energy Interactive, Inc. on-line load curtailment software. The amendment would allow both staff and customers to track the efforts of their load curtailment efforts on-line via the World Wide Web in tandem with our existing PowerLine_TM meter data service. Without this amendment, the process would be very labor intensive. Based on our research at the 2001 Distributech Conference, Energy Interactive's load curtailment model is the only product available to efficiently utilize our existing systems and equipment, with minimal modifications required to be available to staff and customers as soon as possible. Amount of contract is $115,000. Contact Mike Logan, 484-2411, ext. 3061. (See attached memo for more details.)
