Subject: UFTO Note – O’Leary and CEOs meeting re Reliability
Date: Thu, 17 Oct 1996 12:04:53 -0700

On September 7, during the EEI CEO Meeting in Chicago, there was an invitation only luncheon of DOE Secretary Hazel O’Leary and a number of utility industry CEOs. EPRI was present as well. The issue was reliability of the power system, and unconfirmed reports are that basically the message was “you fix it, or DOE will”. (Echoes of 1965?)

Nothing has appeared in the press that I’ve seen, and DOE (Office of Policy) has nothing in writing to offer yet. Apparently, DOE is considering a proposal to create a new task force under the SEAB (Strategic Energy Advisory Board).
