   Another speaker, Tim Collins, managing director of marketing for El Paso Energy, also spoke on the trend toward mergers.El Paso in recent years has been among the most active merger candidates, having acquired Tenneco Energy in 1996, is acquiring Sonat, and has itself been eyed by Southern Company.By the end of 1997, M&A activity in the gas industry were up four-fold since 1992; last year, 90 energy companies said they were involved in some form of strategic M&A activity, and by early this summer, more than 30 mergers were still on the plate, he said.
   
   Federal and state deregulation continues to be the basis for many utility mergers.Deregulation, however, also has unleashed pent-up value in regulated companies, even if it also led to the dumping of some of those assets, Collins said.
   
   "I believe what is driving mergers in the industry as a whole, now and in the future, shows much more responsiveness to raw economic and market forces."
   
   Companies like to package economies of scale with the ability to deploy the same system over a broad base of operations, he said.
