10 Restructuring of the Electric Power Industry 10

11 Federal Restructuring PURPA The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 National Energy Act of 1978 Reduce the Nation s dependence on foreign oil develop renewable and alternate energy sources PURPA Requires electric utilities to interconnect and buy capacity and energy from Qualifying Facilities (QFs) at the utility s avoided cost of production. Avoided cost if the price that the utility would have otherwise paid to generate the power itself 11

12 Federal Restructuring More on PURPA PURPA required that Utilities purchase energy from QFs. However, there was No standardized interconnection requirements No standard method to calculate avoided cost No standard contractual terms and conditions No mechanism for sharing transmission upgrade costs QFs could only sell to incumbent Utility 12

13 Federal Restructuring Energy Policy Act of 1992 One of the most significant pieces of legislation in the history of the power industry that led to restructuring. Created a new category of power producers called Exempt Wholesale Generators (EWGs) Not restricted by size or fuel requirements of PURPA Backed by FERC authority on wheeling However, Utilities not required to purchase energy from EWGs Rates determined competitively not avoided cost 13

14 Federal Restructuring Beautiful house, but no access! IPPs and Utilities at odds over availability and rates for transmission access 14

15 Federal Restructuring Order 888 FERC order issued in April 1996 addressing transmission access, transmission pricing and stranded costs. Required all transmission owners to provide wholesale transmission services to all under the same terms and conditions used for own generation (OATT) Required utilities to functionally separate generation, transmission, power control and distribution activities Identified Six ancillary services that utilities must provide in adjunct with transmission service Encouraged utilities to create Independent System Operators (ISOs) Wholesale trade increased from 100M KWh in 1996 to 4,500M KWh in

16 Federal Restructuring Markets wanting to move power were often faced with rate pancaking (paying multiple rates to multiple transmission entities) Generator $2 $3 $1.50 Load 16

17 Federal Restructuring Order 2000 Calling for voluntary creation of Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) to eliminate grid balkanization Order 2000 also provided clear rules and guidance for utilities to follow in forming an RTO. Potential Benefits Eliminate opportunities for discriminatory transmission practices Improve calculations of Available Transfer Capability Improve management of parallel path flows and reliability Improve transmission pricing methods Improve management of transmission congestion 17

18 Federal Restructuring The End Result Two-thirds of Americans live in regions served by ISO/RTOs In 2004 ISO/RTOs served 62% of the energy consumed in the U.S. ISO/RTOs control 585,000MW or 67% of U.S. generation 18

19 State Restructuring The basic idea is to separate the utility functions of generation, transmission, system operation and distribution to promote competition Different states have used different approaches 1. Some states like NY required utilities to divest or sell their generation 2. Some state have allowed the generation to be moved into a subsidiary 3. Some states have allowed a wall between generation and transmission States have also differed in their approach to wholesale markets 1. Some states have transitioned existing powerpools into ISO structures, eg NY, PJM 2. Some states have created state-wide ISOs, eg. CA, TX 3. Some states have restructured without putting in place a wholesale market 19

20 State Restructuring Characterization States opted for no change Subjected significant portions of their customers to market prices Repealed laws or never pulled triggers for restructuring States in transition States that re-regulated States WA, ND, SD, UT, AZ, MT, WY, CO, NE, KS, MN, IA, MO, LA, WI, KY, TN, AL, MS, NC, SC, GA, FL, VT, HI, AK CA, CT, DE, MA, MD, ME, MI, NH, NJ, NY, RI, TX & DC NV, NM, WV, VA, OR, OK, AR, AZ OH, PA, IL MT Total Source: EIA No DC DC 20

Not very competitive because utility generators are in rate base and do not have to recover fixed and capital costs Source: Enerdynamics 23

24 Market Participants Market Participants in Deregulated Markets 24

25 Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulates and oversees energy industries in the economic, environmental, and safety interests FERC Does: Regulate transmission & sale of gas in interstate commerce Regulate transmission & wholesale sale of electricity in interstate commerce License hydroelectric projects Ensure reliability of high voltage interstate transmission system Monitor & investigate energy markets & enforces rules Administer reporting requirements FERC Does Not: Regulate retail electricity or gas sales to consumers Approve the physical construction of generation, transmission, or distribution facilities Regulate nuclear power plants Regulate municipal power systems Regulate federal power marketing agencies (like TVA) Regulate rural electric cooperatives 25

26 NERC develop and enforce reliability standards evaluate users, owners, and operators for preparedness educate, train, and certify industry personnel 26

31 Key Issues Coal is not clean! Wind doesn t blow when and where you need it! Gas and oil prices are volatile! Commodity costs are fluctuating! Nuclear is unsafe! Transmission-NIMBY! Aging infrastructure and workforce! Economic Downturn! 31

35 Large scale renewable studies by GE These studies were commissioned by the Energy Commissions and ISOs of each region.. Examining the Feasibility of 100+ GW of new wind and other renewable resource additions Considering Operability, Costs, Emissions, Transmission Constraints, Forecasting 35 Each successive study has raised the threshold for acceptable penetration of wind and solar 2004 New York: 3 GW Wind 10% of Peak Load 4% of Energy 2005 Ontario: 15 GW Wind 50% Peak Load ~30% Energy 2006 California: 13 GW Wind 3 GW Solar 5 GW Bio & Geo 26% Peak Load 15% Energy (33% Total) 2007 Texas: 15 GW Wind 25 % Peak Load 17% Energy Western Wind & Solar: (all of Western US) 72 GW Wind 15 GW Solar 50% Peak Load 27% Energy

36 Major Study Results : Large interconnected power systems can accommodate variable renewable generation (Wind + Solar) penetration levels exceeding 25% of peak loads But not by doing more of the same.. To reach higher levels of wind generation and other renewables: Reinvest in infrastructure Implement balanced market rules Incentivize owners and operators to better utilize technology and assets The debate has changed: No longer: Is it possible? Now: How do we get there? 36

37 Key Issues Integrating Renewables is a challenge! Cost Investment of $60 billion over next 20 years for 19,000 miles of line to deliver GW Current transmission investment $7 billon/yr and growing Financing who pays and how are costs recovered in essence, do ratepayers pay or does the generation project developer? Do you pay up front or as you go? Siting considerations Multi-state jurisdiction approval on major lines Complicated process with state regulatory approval, environmental impact analysis, and perhaps even Federal approval Local opposition Not In My Back Yard Source: UWIG, An Overview of Current Initiatives to Expand Transmission Infrastructure to Accommodate Utility Interconnection and Integration of Wind Power 37
