  1. Sixth Northwest Conservation & Electric Power PlanO&M Planning Assumptionsfor Natural Gas Resources Maury Galbraith Northwest Power and Conservation Council Portland, OR July 17, 2008

  2. Sources of O&M Expense Information • FERC Form 1: Annual Report of Major Electric Utilities • Utility Integrated Resource Plans • Literature Review • Industry Experts

  3. Comparison of O&M Expense Estimates Combined Cycle Combustion Turbine (2x1)

  4. Comparison of O&M Expense Estimates Simple Cycle Aeroderivative Turbine (LM6000)

  5. Comparison of O&M Expense Estimates Simple Cycle Frame Turbine

  6. Comparison of O&M Expense Estimates Internal Combustion Engine

  7. FERC Form 1 Data • Platts O&M White Paper • Piper, Steve and Jason LaDue, “Estimation of Generating Unit O&M Expenses: Revisiting the ’80/20’ Rule,” Platts White Paper, June 15, 2007. • Describes mapping of FERC Form 1 line items to fixed and variable O&M expense categories. • Provides indicative O&M expenses • Platts “Generation Supply Curve – Historic” Database • Contains FERC Form 1 O&M expense data for 2003-2006 • Requires Platts Energy AdvantageTM license

  8. Platts Mapping of FERC Form 1 Generating Plant Statistics to Fixed and Variable O&M

  9. Council Extract of FERC Form 1 O&M Data • O&M Source = FERC Form 1 Actual • AND Plant Region = WECC • Number of Observations:

  10. Limitation of FERC Form 1 Data • Regulated utility reporting (no merchant plants) • Accounting standards are subject utility interpretation (anomalously high and low cost data) • Reporting by Plant/Prime Mover combination (masks unit level detail)
