What had previously taken over an hour of notifying by telephone or standard e-mail now takes just

minutes and is now an automated process which is capable of confirming the receipt of the alert. The power

saved by this notification to prevent rolling black outs in the state of California is almost incalculable as it

relates to value.

"In 2001, two local newspaper articles show payments to Reliant, Duke and Enron for energy ranging from

$2,600.00 per MWH to $3,880.00 per MWH. There are also scheduling costs, transmission losses that all

add to this figure. Exclusive of line losses, marketing, sales, contracts, and the authorized rate of return the

utilities often receive to run a regular interruptible tariff (30%-40%), in energy cost savings alone." Gary

Fabrizi, Ancillary Services Coalition

1. Each MWH $3,880.00 - $1,300.00 = $2,580.00 saved per MWH

2. 500MW x $2,580.00 x 96 hours = $123,840,000.00

3. Saved over the four summer months

"This is a perfect example on how Westlake Software, Inc. can assess and assist in a challenging situation

and find practical and cost effective wireless solutions for our customers," states Alan Gould, President and

CEO of Westlake Software. “The Westlake Software, Inc. AirMobility.Net Middleware was the perfect
