interesting article about enron in japan ' s electricity newspaper japan ' s electricity newspaper ( " denki shimbun " , the equivalent of megawatt daily ) has been running a series of articles about the new century . several of these have focused on the power industry in the u . s . a friend of mine ran across one on enron that was published on april 13 and sent it to me . i thought you would find it interesting . the article focuses on ees in particular and about how we try to succeed by being first to meet our clients ' changing needs . it also describes how we use derivatives and risk management to reduce costs and stay competitive . the article also briefly mentions the new office in japan . the most interesting thing about the article is how incredibly positive it is about enron . given what i have read and heard about how nervous the japanese are about deregulation of the industry , i really did not expect such praise . denki shimbun also has a web site at " www . shimbun . denki . or . jp " . they have small summaries of the important articles of the day ( the site , however , is completely in japanese ) . another interesting site is " www . criepi . denken . or . jp " , the english home site of japan ' s central research institute of electric power industry ( denryoku chuo kenkyuujou ) . the site has many links to other english - language sites related to the power industry in japan . regards , eugenio
