SRPSUMMER PREPAREDNESS2000 Presented to the Arizona Corporation Commission May 17, 2000 Summer Preparedness 2000
Dave Areghini Associate General Manager, Power, Construction and Engineering Services Summer Preparedness 2000
AGENDA • Summary of Year 2000 Projected Conditions and SRP Generating Plant Readiness • Resources and Reserves • SRP Transmission and Distribution System Readiness • Emergency Operations and Load Shedding Summer Preparedness 2000
SUMMARY OF YEAR 2000 PROJECTED CONDITIONS • Transmission is adequate to meet the forecasted peak load and reserves • SRP generation is ready and purchases are adequate to meet the forecasted year 2000 demand • Emergency plans are in place to handle contingency events Summer Preparedness 2000

OPERATING RESERVES • Protect Against Loss of Generation or Transmission Resources Used to Deliver Energy to Firm Load • Targeted Reserve Levels Based on: • Amount of Firm Load • Largest Single Hazard Summer Preparedness 2000
SUMMER 2000 RESERVES Jun Jul Aug Sep Load (MW) 4871 5084 5084 4696 Actual Reserves* 624 636 624 624 Reserves Inside Valley 447 209 277 624 Outside Valley 177 427 347 0 * Meets WSCC and NERC Criteria Meets Southwest Reserve Sharing Group Criteria Summer Preparedness 2000

GLEN CANYON LOW FLOW TESTING • Test Flows Implemented May - September • Result of 1994 Biological Opinion by USF&WS • Requires Low Steady Flow At 8,000 cfs June - Sept • Reduces Plant Output by Several Hundred MW • Impacts Market Pricing in the SW • Impacts Exchange Arrangements with SRP Summer Preparedness 2000
GLEN CANYON LOW FLOW TESTING • Emergency Exception Criteria In Effect • Activation Requires System Wide Emergency • Testing May Be Abandoned Due to Hydrology Summer Preparedness 2000
SRP TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTIONSYSTEM READINESS Dave Areghini Summer Preparedness 2000
SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS REKONDZI: Most of the items you have listed help the subtransmission system but I believe only Item 1 (Knox xfmr) & Item 2 (69kV caps) help the transmission system. The 69kV capacitors are the main reason the lower portion of the load serving nomogram has increased from last year. Item 4, SI/GF monitor did not provide any increase in capacity like the WW/AF monitor did. There are some significant maintenance replacement items, relay improvements, WSCC uniform off frequency load shedding, and 500/230 - 230/69 Transformer re-ratings that also contribute to increased load serving capability • Items Increasing Import Capability • Knox 230kV receiving station and 1-230/69 transformer • Four 46 MVAR 69kV capacitor banks at Brandow, Papago Buttes, White Tanks and Knox Summer Preparedness 2000

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS AND LOAD SHEDDING • System Normal • Capacity Critical • Capacity Emergency • Pre-load Shedding • Rotating Blackouts Summer Preparedness 2000
CAPACITY CRITICAL • Potential for Operating Reserve Deficiency if a Major Resource is Lost • Warning Issued to All Plants Summer Preparedness 2000
CAPACITY EMERGENCY • Potential for loss of load if a major resourceis lost (reserves are depleted) • Staff unmanned hydro units • Stop maintenance that could jeopardizeunit availability Summer Preparedness 2000
CAPACITY EMERGENCY • Prepare to: • Cut wholesale sales • Utilize emergency generation, reduceauxiliary loads Summer Preparedness 2000
ROTATING BLACKOUTS • Predetermined program has alreadyprotected critical loads such ashospitals • Load shedding program curtails delivery of power to retail customers Summer Preparedness 2000
SUMMARY OF YEAR 2000 PROJECTED CONDITIONS • Transmission is adequate to meet the forecasted peak load and reserves • SRP generation is ready and purchases are adequate to meet the forecasted year 2000 demand • Emergency plans are in place to handle contingency events Summer Preparedness 2000
