Oklahoma Weatherford Wind Energy Center • $300,000 in annual lease payments to landowners • $17 million in property taxes over 20 years • 147 MW • 150 workers during construction peak; 6 full-time O&M positions Source: NREL
Oklahoma CPV – OU Spirit project • Annual allocations from addition of 2.3 MW Siemens turbines • $1,057,000 in new tax dollars for two school districts • CareerTech allocation from county revenue will increase by $227,000 • County general funds will increase by $190,000 –will assist with building new jail • EMS services will receive $57,000 increase • County Heal services will receive $20,000 increase Source: Woodward County Assessor
Oklahoma, Wind, and Economic Development • Economic benefit of 1,000 MW = $1.25 billion • 5,530 construction jobs, 215 permanent jobs • Average wages in component manufacturing industry = $40,709 - 15% higher than average state wage • Strong correlation between Western OK counties that have lost population in recent decades with counties that have significant wind resources • In many cases, land suited for wind development has lower per-acre returns for agricultural use • Sooner Survey of 600 registered voters: • 72% of Oklahomans willing to pay more for wind-generated electricity • 91% approve of further development of wind farms Source: NREL; Cole, Hargrave Snodgrass, and Associates; Oklahoma Department of Commerce

What kind of markets does SPP have now? Transmission: Participants buy and sell use of regional transmission lines that are owned by different parties 2009 transmission market transactions = $486 million Energy Imbalance Service (EIS): Participants buy and sell wholesale electricity in real-time Market uses least expensive energy from regional resources to serve demand (load) first SPP monitors resource/load balance to ensure system reliability 2009 wholesale market transactions = $1.14 billion 40 40
Transmission Service As “Sales Agents,” we administer … • Provides “one-stop shopping”for use of regional transmission lines • Consistent rates, terms, conditions • Independent • Process > 12,000 transactions/month • 2009 transmission market transactions = $486 million …a 1,621 page transmission tariff on behalf of our members and customers.
EIS Market Operation SPP’s energy market is like the “NYSE”… • Monitors supply/demand balance • Ensures economic dispatchwhile meeting system reliability • Provides settlement data • 2009 wholesale market transactions = $1.14 billion …and follows over 200 pages of market protocols.
