EES will also manage a program of energy=  reduction measures designed to improve energy efficiency at Sainsbury's fa= cilities.
Stuart Rexrode, Vice President of EES Europe, said: "This was a sensational=  team effort - a fantastic achievement for EES Europe and a truly groundbre= aking transaction in the marketplace.
The whole group should all be extrem= ely proud and I am confident that this is the start of many more outsourcin= g deals to come."
EBS Europe EBS Europe has just completed its 100th transaction.
The transaction involv= es a 12-month contract for an STM-4 circuit from London to Madrid.
This cap= acity is equivalent to approximately 830 DSL lines or Internet connections = into the home.
Commenting on the achievement, Matthew Scrimshaw, President=  of EBS Europe said, "This is just one of the many milestones that EBS will=  achieve, as we continue to create a market for bandwidth trading and origi= nation."
Pioneering International Coal Agreements Signed Enron has signed a five-year agreement with Spanish utility HidroElectrica = del Cantabrico for the import of at least 600,000 tonnes of steam coal per = annum in Enron's first long-term coal import deal into Spain.
The agreemen= t gives Enron full optionality with regard to sourcing, timing and quantity=  of coal supply, which will be delivered via the port of Gijon in northern = Spain and transported by rail and truck to a number of coal-fired power sta= tions, predominantly in the north of the country.
Gijon itself could becom= e a trading hub for Spain's rapidly expanding coal market.
"Spain is experi= encing strong demand growth for electricity generation and with an annual p= roduction of only 17 million tonnes of expensive, low-quality coal at its d= isposal, the country has a need for new, flexible sources of supply - so th= ere's lots of opportunity for us to extend the scope of our agreement," say= s Sam Grossman, Enron's coal group director who led the team which included=  Katrina Bensadon and Janet Wood with support from the coal and freight tea= ms.
In a separate agreement Enron's first foray into the US coal import market = is delivering a cargo of Colombian coal to Dynergy via the Mississippi and = two further cargoes of 45,000-60,000 tonnes to northeastern US utilities vi= a Charleston, south Carolina.
With coal supplying the fuel for more than h= alf of the USA's power generation and the domestic coal market showing high=  prices - the Nymex coal price has doubled over the past year - this is an = excellent time for Enron to help meet customer demand.
"This is a classic = Enron deal exploiting optionality," says Sam Grossman.
"We were able to re= direct one of our coal cargoes bound for Europe and find an alternative sou= rce to fulfill the European order."
The import agreement is expected to en= courage other counterparties into the US coal import market.
