Calpine, Generators' Shares Fall on PG&E Concern,
Power Prices

Falling power prices also contributed to the share-price decline, Commerzbank
Securities analyst Andre Meade said. Electricity in the California-Oregon border
region for day-ahead delivery fell to the lowest level in 11 months today, dropping
12 percent to $60 a megawatt-hour, according to Bloomberg Energy Service
statistics. A megawatt hour can light 750 California homes for an hour.

``We don't have any summer weather to speak of, and as a result, the forward
price for electricity is declining,'' John Hancock Patriot Group fund manager
Gregory Phelps said.

The price on the California-Oregon border for July and August delivery has fallen
56 percent to $222.50 a megawatt-hour from a high this year of $505 on April 1,
Bloomberg statistics said.

The price in New York for July and August delivery has fallen 22 percent to
$58.25 a megawatt-hour from a high this year of $75 on April 16.
