Transmission: From Policy to Projects One Company’s PerspectiveNovember 4, 2011Clarke Bruno
Anbaric business model • States as catalysts
Anbaric – Our Business Model • Anbaric incubates and develops transmission lines to: • Integrate regional markets; • Bypass bottlenecks or reduce congestion; and • Bring renewables, esp. offshore wind, to load.
Anbaric – Our Business Model • We rely on states as catalysts, to move from policy to projects: • Competitive, transparent RFP; • Procurement from credit-worthy counterparty; and • Apportion economic risk.
Anbaric-Incubated Projects Neptune Regional Transmission System • From Sayreville, NJ to Long Island NY • 65 mile, 660 MW HVDC line • Total cost - $700MM,COD June 2007 Hudson Transmission Project • From Ridgefield, NJ to Manhattan • 9 mile, 660 MW HVDC • Total cost - $800MM, COD early summer 2013
Anbaric Pipeline -- @$4.5 billion • Integrate regional electricity markets • West Point Project (Albany to Buchanan, NY); • Champlain Wind Link (Plattsburgh, NY to Burlington, VT); and • Green Line (coastal Maine to Boston, MA) • Offshore wind to population centers • Massachusetts @ 2000 MW; • New Jersey @ 1100 MW; and • Hawaii @ up to 600 MW
States – Catalysts • Catalysts • Policy driven vision – ratepayer cost, reliability, competition, renewables, industrial policy, build grid as a public good, RPS goals • Economic benefits – “demand drives deal”
States – Catalysts • From policy to projects • Time and risk • Competitive RFP • Transparent selection process • Fixed price vs. cost plus bid
States – Catalysts • From policy to projects • Roles for incumbent utility, gov’tal entity • Willing counterparty – an entity to sign contract • Shared project risk • Time and risk • Beware: cost allocation
