4 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study reviews constraints identified through System Impact Studies (SIS) and Affected Systems Studies (AFS) in the Entergy Texas region. In accordance with Section 14 of Attachment K of the Entergy OATT, this study was commissioned in order to determine upgrades in the area that will increase transfer capability. Those upgrades have also been assessed to determine what, if any, economic benefits in terms of production cost reduction that they may provide. This report identifies constraints, reviews potential solution sets, and provides planning level cost estimates as well as an evaluation of the economic benefits of each solution set. Through this study process, a number of transmission solution sets have been developed. Those solutions sets have been evaluated in order to determine if a) those upgrades will relieve the N-1 overloads that are seen with the inclusion of the selected transmission service requests, and b) what reduction in congestion and production cost these upgrades may have. The results are summarized in the table below. The projects and results are described in more detail in the body of the report.

Note that this study is for informational purposes only and does not guarantee the availability of Available Transfer Capability (ATC) or Rollover Rights (ROR). 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM Several constraints in the Texas Region have been identified from the following Transmission Service Requests: OASIS , OASIS , OASIS , OASIS , SPP OASIS , SPP OASIS , SPP OASIS , SPP OASIS _1004_1007_1231_1265, and SPP OASIS

Includes 2011 Approved Construction Plan (CP) projects and commitments to fund Supplemental Upgrades available at the time of the study. The Case Models were modified with SPP Priority Projects, and SPP Balanced Portfolio Projects. Also, the ETEC Load Forecast was updated in the Case Models Change Model(s) A. Entergy Proposed / Horizon projects were considered to relieve constraints. B. Considered any other additional transmission upgrades to relieve constraints. 4. STUDY PROCESS This study is a High-Level Analysis (Step1), as described below. d upon the outcome of the Step1 analysis, Customers may choose to have their TSRs studied further in the Step 2 analysis. 4.1 Power-flow model analysis A high-level full AC contingency analysis (N-1) will be performed on the base and change models. There will be no TRM included in the analysis. The contingency scan will include NERC Category A and B events. Details on monitored elements and Category A and B events can be found in the Contingency Scan. The thermal and voltage violations thresholds are the same as those specified for the NERC Reliability Standard TPL-001 and -002 contingency evaluations in which facility loadings must be within their normal rating (RATE A) or emergency rating (RATE B), consistent with the applicable rating as determined and consistently applied by SPP, ICT and/or Entergy. The monitored and contingent element list will include all transmission facilities at 115kV or higher. 4.2 Economic Study Analysis Economic modeling, simulations, and results will be developed using GridView (GV), developed by ABB Inc. In general, GV is a database-driven software package that uses a linear programming approach for economic simulation of electric power systems. Its application is for generation and transmission expansion planning, market simulation, and production cost modeling. GV uses a Security Constrained Unit Commitment and 5

6 Economic Dispatch (SCUC&ED) to simulate the most economic generation dispatch while observing system security constraints. The economic analysis will also be conducted in Step 2. Adjusted Production Cost1 (APC)-based Benefit-to-Cost (B/C) ratio metric has been calculated below. The APCbased B/C refers to the reduction in APC due to a project divided by carrying charge rate of the planning cost estimate of the project. Ideal APC-based B/C ratio would be greater than 1. A ratio of 1 or greater would imply that they reduction in APC would be equal to or greater than the annual transmission revenue requirement for the upgrade. 5. SOLUTION SETS This section will detail those solution sets that have been evaluated as part of this study. Planning level cost estimates have been provided for these upgrades, as well as a description of the projects that are included in each solution set. 5.1 Quarry Rivtrin 345 kv Solution Set The main project in this solution set is the Quarry Rivtrin 345 kv project, along with several supporting projects. The Quarry - Rivtrin project consists of tapping the existing Crockett Grimes 345 kv line, installing a new 345 kv switching station at Quarry, and building nine (9) miles of new 345 kv line from Quarry to the existing Rivtrin station. A 345/138 kv transformer would be added at Rivtrin to step down to the 138 kv system. A diagram of that option is displayed below. In addition to the Quarry project, several smaller system reinforcements are needed to address other overloads in the area. All of the required upgrades for this solution set, along with their costs are listed below. 1 Adjusted Production Cost (APC) is a measure of the impact on production cost savings by using LMPs, accounting for purchases and sales of energy between each area. This metric compares adjusted production cost with and without transmission solutions. A negative value means that a reduction in transmission congestion decreased generation production cost. In theory, production cost will decrease when constraints are removed from the system. 6

SUMMARY This report analyzed the effects of several sets of upgrades in the Entergy Texas region in terms of powerflow and economics. d upon the analysis presented here, it can be determined that there is the potential for alleviating overloads, removing constraints to transmission service, and reduction in congestion from several of the packages of upgrades. The Quarry - Rivtrin, 138 kv Solution, and the Grimes Ponderosa solutions all took care of the transmission overloads that are described in Section 6. The other solutions, Grimes Mt. Zion and Grimes Huntsville, provided some relief, but did not address all of the overloads in Section 6. In addition to the powerflow analysis, these upgrades were reviewed to determine if there are any economic benefits to those projects. The Quarry Rivtrin, Grimes Ponderosa, and Grimes Huntsville projects all displayed benefits in excess of their costs. However, with the Grimes Huntsville upgrade, there is still congestion that remains in Western Region that can be alleviated with the Quarry Rivtrin or Grimes Ponderosa projects. d on the analysis, it appears that the Quarry Rivtrin and Grimes Ponderosa projects are similar in terms of cost and performance. This report is intended to be a high-level analysis of these upgrades in order to provide the study participants with information such that they can make a decision on whether to pursue these upgrades further. If the study participants are so inclined, the next step would be to perform a more detailed analysis of a subset of the upgrades presented here in order to arrive at a more detailed breakdown of the benefits associated with the upgrades. Ultimately, any information produced from a more detailed analysis could be used to derive an allocation of costs amongst the participating study members. 35
