TAS 2020 Results • Scenario Base Case L&R differences are posted: • Production cost, congestion, dispatch, carbon, etc results • “Dashboard” Matrix of results introduced at 1-25 TAS meeting: • Expansion projects • Sensitivity studies • Cases w/o Foundation List removed from Dashboard • More Discussion of Metrics and synthesizing at 2-16 TAS meeting
WECC 10 Year Plan What’s in the Plan
Analytical Process • Scenario Case economic performance results will be reviewed by TAS • Expansion Projects will be added individually and cases re-run to determine project performance: • Changes in Loading levels, production costs, congestion • Projects will be chosen by TAS from “Toolbox” of projects submitted as ESRs or from SPG Potential Projects list.
Analysis & Screening • TAS Production Cost Simulation Analysis Review • Expansion Cases to solve congestion • Recommended Expansion • High Level Screening – Other Issues

All requests and TAS suggestions will be posted on the WECC website. (6.6.4) • TEPPC will convene an open meeting (February 24-25, 2011) to discuss requests received. All requesting parties are invited to attend and participate. Additional meetings may be held if necessary. (6.6.4) • TEPPC will prioritize the study requests during the open meeting using the Protocol criteria (6.6.4), and will develop the Study Program based on the prioritized list. • The proposed Study Program will be posted on the WECC website by April 29, 2011. (6.6.5) • Requests for reconsideration of the Study Program are due to TEPPC by May 15, 2011. TEPPC will respond to requests for reconsideration by June 15, 2011, and will post the final Study Program at that time. (6.6.5)
State & Provincial Steering Committee (SPSC) Requests • Updated 10 & 20 year data • Prolonged drought • High DSM and Distributed Gen • Alternative CA import (TRECs) • RPS levels • Alternative DSW Solar Development • Low carbon and plant retirements • Increased Grid Utilization (EDT, EIM) • Variable Generation Integration SPSC voting on priority 1-21-11

NTTG Planning Processes Annual Public Stakeholder Meeting Boise, ID February 2, 2011
Today’s Topics • Northern Tier Transmission Group • Economic Study Requests • 2010-11 Biennial Study Update • Opportunities For Stakeholder Input • National & Regional Activities
Northern TierTransmission Group • Members • Deseret Power • Idaho Power • NorthWestern Energy • PacifiCorp • Portland General Electric • NTTG Planning Purpose • Provide a forum where all interested parties are encouraged to participate in the planning, coordination, and implementation of a robust transmission system that is capable of supporting an efficient west-wide electricity market while meeting WECC and NERC reliability standards.
NTTG Planning Processes Economic Study Requests
Economic Study Process • Annual Process • Jan-Mar - Stakeholders submit request • NTTG conducts 2 per Biennial Planning Cycle • One completed last year • Apr-Jun – Economic congestion study performed • Use WECC TEPPC base cases if appropriate • Use PROMOD or GridView simulation programs • Output: estimated congestion, frequency and costs • Jul-Sep – Present results to Stakeholders • Results inform the planning process
Economic Study Performed in 2010 PC1A: Case as provided by TEPPC with minor adjustments BASE: Case PC1A with 1500 MW wind generation added at Townsend AMPS: Case BASE with Path 18 upgraded from 337 to 401 MW north to south COLS: Case BASE with Path 8 upgraded from 2200 to 2800 MW east to west MSTI: Case BASE with the Mountain States Transmission Intertie project added ~ Path 8 Upgrade (600 MW) 1500 Path 18 Upgrade (64 MW) MSTI Project (1500 MW)

NTTG Planning Processes 2010-2011 Transmission Study Update
Study Scenarios • 2020 network is based on WECC 2020 heavy summer case, with projects not on ‘Foundation List of Projects’ removed. • 2020 resources are those in the TEPPC 2020 PC0 case, meeting RPS standards, planning reserves.
Null Case Study Objective Null Case Study “ The objective of the null case study was to determine from a limited power flow reliability analysis if the existing transmission system is sufficient to accommodate 10 years of load growth without additional transmission upgrades or modifications”
Null Case Assumptions • Started with the 2010 heavy summer base case • NTTG loads increased to the 2020 level • No additional generation was added • 2010 transmission topology • Existing generation allowed to increase to meet load increase • Did not exceed generator capability • NTTG generation increased • BPA (e.g. Coulee) increased
Null Case Load Increase 2010 loads replaced by 2020 loads from WECC base case
Null Case N-0 Results • N-0 Overloads • 24 overloads identified • 15 line overload • 9 auto transformer overload
