During the crisis, Reliant Energy Services's parent company, then known as Houston Industries Power Generation, Inc., was one of the "Big 5" electricity generators that had purchased power plants in California after deregulation forced its utilities to divest their plants between 1997 and 1999.

If convicted, the maximum penalty for the corporation, Reliant Energy Services, for each count of conspiracy and wire fraud is the greater of $500,000, or twice the gross gain or gross loss to the victims of the scheme, and up to five years probation.

 Local Energy -- Communities becoming energy self-reliant
If producing biofuel is more energy intensive than producing gasoline (and all indications are that it is, regardless of which study you believe), then the gap between supply and demand would be even worse.
Since bioenergy cannot replace fossil-fuel energy, rather than setting targets for increased national consumption of bioenergy, it may be more appropriate to set goals for the combined thermodynamic and economic efficiency of bioenergy projects.
Calculation of the energy profit ratio, defined as the ratio of produced fuel energy to process energy, must be calculated by a neutral third-party using standardized protocols.

Reliant cut a deal with FERC, agreeing to refund California $13.8 million to settle the issue and will not be penalized under federal laws.
Energy corporations such as Reliant, Duke, Williams and Enron have said publicly over the past two years that they have acted "properly" and have laid all of the blame on California's crisis on the shoulders of state lawmakers.
