  1. Photovoltaic Developers Perspective Photovoltaic and Storage Workshop ERCOT Aruna Ranaweera, Ph.D., P.E. OCI Solar Power October 15, 2012

  2. OCI Solar Power ($00) • Headquartered in San Antonio • Utility scale solar power development throughout the US • 400 MW Solar PPA with CPS Energy • Consortium of companies to create 800+ solar industry jobs in San Antonio • Stage I: 50 MW to be in service in 2013 • Interconnection studies in progress with ERCOT and CPS • Stages II to V from 2014 to 2016 • Committed to the reliable operation of the electric power system

  3. Integration of Solar Power ($00) • Studies to show that concerns are not just speculation • And understand issues correctly to implement proper mitigations • Location specific issues (related to POI) • Issues due to the size of the plant • Centralized mitigations and individual plant mitigations • Solar power forecasting by each plant and centralized forecasting managed by the Reliability Coordinator • Other RTO practices • Impact of new requirements on the competitiveness of solar power

  4. Generation Interconnection Process Feedback ($00) • Clear application instructions: Submit Resource Registration form before the Interconnection Application? • Interconnection queue update frequency • Examples of other RTO practices: • MISO - Pre-queue workshops several times a year • PJM, MISO, CAISO, ISO-NE, NYISO - Interconnection Queue posted on the public website

  5. Generation Interconnection Process Feedback ($00) • Other RTO practices: Interconnection Queue map posted on public website

  6. Generation Interconnection Process Feedback ($00) • Other RTO practices: Interconnection Capacity map posted on public website

  7. Generation Interconnection Process Feedback ($00) • Maps available on the state website
