Power Source Ends Direct Flow to California Businesses By JAMES STERNGOLD with MATT RICHTEL LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31 — In a sign that problems are deepening in California's overburdened energy market, a division of the Enron Corporation that sells power directly to large industrial and commercial concerns has decided to halt such service to dozens of its clients because of the potential for mounting losses. The decision, which would apparently affect companies like Cisco Systems, Genentech and Clorox, would not stop the flow of electricity. But it would potentially raise the rates these big customers pay, perhaps 35 percent or so, and sharply increase the role of the state government as the major supplier of power in California. nytimes.com
