11 Evaluation of Competitive Alternatives Who is Your Competition? Neighboring Utilities Alternative Fuels Retail Competition Conservation Distributed Generation

12 Definition of Net Metering Net metering is a utility resource usage and payment scheme in which a customer who generates their own power is compensated monetarily. Net metering originated with electric companies as a way to encourage consumers to invest in renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power. In a net metering program, the electric company allows a customer's meter to actually run backwards if the electricity the customer generates is more than they are consuming. At the end of the billing period, the customer only pays for their net consumption: the amount of resources consumed, minus the amount of resources generated. Key Provision Many jurisdictions require utilities to treat net metering customers the same as regular customers relative to rates. 12

13 Net Metering Legislative Requirements Many states have legislation requiring utilities to offer net metering programs to their customers. Iowa currently has no such requirement applicable to municipals. 13

14 Solar Net Metering Perspectives Distributed solar generation is worth more than its retail power price. Minnesota Department of Commerce (March 2014) Net metering policies provide an implicit subsidy to all forms of distributed generation that is not given to grid-scale generators. MIT The Future of the Electric Grid Study (2011) 14

15 U.S. Department of Energy Potential Economic Benefits of Distributed Generation Reduced costs associated with power losses Deferred investments for generation, transmission or distribution upgrades Lower operating costs due to peak shaving Reduced fuel costs due to increased overall efficiency Reduced land use for generation 15

16 Discussion What special challenges do solar installations present for rate design? 16

17 Cost of Service Considerations

18 Revenue Requirement Definition Revenue Requirement For a utility system, the revenue requirement equals the total cost of serving customers in various rate classes For the utility, rates need to generate total revenue to meet total revenue requirements For each rate class, properly designed rates will generate sufficient revenues to equal the allocated revenue requirement

19 Revenue Requirements What are examples of your revenue requirements? 19

20 Functionalize Costs Typical cost functions include: Production (generation and/or purchased power) Transmission Distribution Customer Care

21 Basic Cost Categories Fixed Cost Variable Cost

22 Fixed Costs Do not vary materially with electricity use or number of customers Examples: Labor Insurance Depreciation Interest

23 Variable Costs Vary with production or electricity use Examples: Fuel Variable production costs

24 Demand-Related Costs Costs driven by the kilowatt demand imposed on the system Examples: Demand portion of production Transmission Demand component of distribution plant

25 Energy-Related Costs Costs that vary with the energy or kilowatt-hours provided by the utility Examples: Fuel Variable production costs Transmission in certain RTO/ISOs

26 Customer-Related Costs Costs that are related to the number of customers Examples: Customer billing Meter reading Customer service Capital cost of meters and services O&M costs of meters and services Meter Data Management (MDM)

27 Cost of Service basics Demand and customer costs are primarily fixed Customer load factor impacts per kwh cost to serve 27

28 Rate Classes What retail rate classes do you have? 28

29 Why Have Rate Classes? Different load characteristics Different service voltages Different costs to serve Load density Reliability requirements

30 Cost of Service Study Output Various allocators used to assign costs To classes To rate components Useful in rate design Basis for fairness 30

31 Subsidization Definition Subsidization The act of financially supporting service to one group of customers through excess collection of revenues from another group of customers. Where do subsidies currently exist at your utility?

32 Load Factor Load factor is average demand (energy) divided by peak demand during a specific period of time Higher % load factor spreads fixed costs over more energy Load Factor (%) = Energy (kwh) Demand (kw) * hrs 32

33 Load Factor examples 5 kw peak customer 730 kwh = 20% load factor 2920 kwh = 80% load factor 6 5 Monthly load factor Demand (kw) Hour 80% load factor 20% load factor 33

34 Load Factor Load Factor is the single most important factor behind average cost to serve per kwh Why? 34

35 Load Factor Impact on Cost to Serve Residential Customer Total Cost vs. Load Factor $/kwh 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Monthly Load Factor Total Cost/kWh 35

36 Residential Rates Residential class typical rates Customer charge (ie. $5/month) Energy charge (ie /kwh) No demand charge 36

37 Residential cost vs. revenue Residential Customer Total Cost vs. Total Revenue $/kwh 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Monthly Load Factor Total Cost/kWh Total Revenue/kWh 37

38 Residential cost vs. revenue Residential Customer Total Cost vs. Total Revenue $/kwh 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Monthly Load Factor Total Cost/kWh Total Revenue/kWh 38

39 Midwestern Utility Case Study Utility Statistics Total Customers Annual Peak Annual Energy Generation 5,900 32,000 kw 150,000,000 kwh 100% Wholesale Purchase Peak Time Summer 39

40 Utility Peak Day (August) 35,000 30,000 Demand kw 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5, Hour Load 40

41 Midwestern Utility Case Study Solar Installations Residential Customers Installed Demand Annual Energy 2,500 3 kw/customer 7500 total kw 4,200 kwh/unit/yr 10,500,000 kwh total 41

42 Total Solar Output 6,000 5,000 Demand kw 4,000 3,000 2,000 1, Hour Solar Output 42

43 Seasonal Solar Output Demand Hour Summer Winter 43

44 Residential Duck Curve kw Hour

45 Solar Impact on Utility Load 35,000 30,000 Demand kw 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5, Hour City Load Net City Load 45

46 Solar Impact on Utility Load 7500 kw of solar capacity resulted in 1500 kw of peak mo. reduction and 750 kw in avg. mo. reduction kw Solar Capacity Peak Reduction Avg Month Reduction

47 Cost Impacts of Solar Generation Reduction in energy (fuel) costs Minimal reduction in capacity (fixed) costs Potential increase in system operational costs Transmission Minimal reduction in system (fixed) costs Potential increase in system operational costs Distribution Minimal reduction in system (fixed) costs Potential increase in customer related costs 47

48 Solar customers may be self supplying most of their own energy requirements, but they still place a demand on the system This drives down their effective load factor Which drives up their cost per kwh to serve 48

49 Revised Residential Curves with Solar Installations Residential Customer Total Cost vs. Total Revenue $/kwh 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Monthly Load Factor Total Cost/kWh Total Revenue/kWh 49

50 MIT Study Our main concern here is with the efficiency of solar deployment subsidies, i.e., with the value of electricity produced per dollar of subsidy spending. 50

51 MidAmerican Energy Net Metering Example

52 Eligible Distributed Generation Alternate energy production facility Single location on customer premises Nameplate capacity of 500 kw or less Intended to primarily offset customer use 52

53 Approved Alternate Energy Technologies Technologies as defined in Iowa Code Solar Wind Waste management Resource recovery Refuse derived fuel Agricultural crops or residues Wood burning Small Hydro 53

54 Restrictions No sales to neighboring customers No credits for other customer owned accounts Over 500 kw portion subject to QF rules Over generation is carried over as a kwh credit No cash payment for carried over credits 54

55 Rate Provisions Customer must pay fixed charges Net usage billed at regular rate 55

56 Other Options

57 Feed in Tariffs Typically make use of long-term agreements Pricing tied to costs of production for renewable energy producers Pricing typically guaranteed Pricing may have a step down feature with costs front loaded Producers are sheltered from some of the risks Purchasers are sheltered from price unknowns Key is to establish a Value of Solar based on both parties cost realities 57

58 Value of Solar How would you quantify the value of solar? Generation Transmission Distribution Customer Society/Environment 58

59 Community Solar A solar generation project built to allow a group of people to own a stake or subscribe to its energy output and share in the value based on their ownership. 59

60 Solar Implementation Options Utility Owned and Operated Utility/Developer Agreement Customer Owned/Leased Utility Sponsored Community Solar Developer Sponsored Community Solar 60

61 Utility Owned and Operated Utility finances construction Utility operates facility Actual ownership costs become part of utility revenue requirement All utility customers share in costs/benefits 61

62 Utility/Developer Agreement Developer finances construction Developer operates facility Developer and utility agree on power purchase arrangement Purchased power costs become part of utility revenue requirement All utility customers share in costs/benefits 62

63 Customer Owned/Leased Customer/developer finance construction Customer/developer operates facility Under developer model, customer pays for project over time Facility located on customer premises Customer operates under net metering provisions Level of subsidies dependent on retail rate provisions 63

64 Utility Sponsored Community Solar Utility finances construction Utility operates facility Utility invites customers to participate in project Customers either pay up front or agree to flat per kwh purchase price Customers receive retail credit for kwhs purchased/generated Level of subsidies dependent on retail rates versus cost of credits 64

65 Developer Sponsored Community Solar Developer finances construction Developer operates facility Developer and utility agree on power purchase arrangement Developer invites customers to participate in project Customers receive payment based on their ownership For customers, it is more of a financial transaction 65

66 Potential Residential Rate Impacts

67 Midwestern Utility Case Study Solar Installations Residential Customers Installed Demand Annual Energy 2,500 3 kw/customer 7500 total kw 4,200 kwh/unit/yr 10,500,000 kwh total 67

75 Adverse Rate Impacts Without New Approaches, Who s Left Holding the Bag? Low income Elderly Renters High density housing Location/structure limited customers We need to get it right, before we get it wrong. 75

76 Other Rate Options Fixed monthly fee based on solar capacity Per kwh fee for solar generation to compensate for access to distribution system Impact of rebates to pay down capital cost for homeowner Other ideas? 76

77 Energy Storage

78 Energy Storage - Discussion Applications? Retail Wholesale 78

79 Energy Storage Useful life/# of cycles how many times can the unit be charged and depleted Depth of discharge how much of the capacity is useful Efficiency how much energy is lost in charging/discharge 79

80 Retail Energy Storage example calculation Cost - $5,000 Capacity 7 kwh # of cycles 5000 (13.7 years) Depth of discharge/efficiency 83% Annual carrying charge 10% Cost per kwh based on 1 year 365 days x 7 kwh x 83% = 2121 kwh per year $5,000 x 10% = $500 per year $500/2121 kwh = $0.236/kWh 80
