REQUEST:
Please explain why A vista Power initially purchased Coyote Springs 2, rather than A vista
Corporation.
RESPONSE:
Coyote Springs 2 was offered for sale by Enron North America in late 1999 through early 2000.
A vista Power, LLC was in the business at that time of acquiring and developing new power
generation projects. A vista Power negotiated a letter of intent to purchase the project from
Enron North America Corp. in March 2000. The purchase was finalized in July 2000.
During the period when Enron North America Corp made Coyote Springs 2 available to the
market, A vista Corporation was performing initial screening and investigation of potential
combined cycle combustion turbine generation sites and options in the region. A vista
Corporation was planning to conduct an all-resource RFP in summer 2000 that would evaluate
proposals for power supply and power generation projects from the market as well as company
cost-based generation build options. The timing of the offer of Coyote Springs 2 in the market
by Enron North America Corp. pre-dated Avista Corporation s RFP process.
