Status Update for Reliability/Market Power Mitigation Assessment Stakeholder Meeting April 16, 2008 Austin, TX
Reliability & Market Power Mitigation Study Model : Status Update • Data collection effort in process • SPP has received most of the input from ETI with two conference calls to discuss the data • Last set of data was recently received by ETI (SPP is still reviewing it) • Study case will be ready by April end (Reliability Study) and by May end (MP Mitigation Study) for stakeholder review
Reliability Study Model : Key Inputs • Generation Inputs • Two new generating plant to serve ETEC load (150 MW each) at Cypress and Jacinto • Cottonwood plant will be considered in Eastern Interconnect • Sensitivity to be run with Cottonwood connecting into ERCOT • Transmission Inputs • ETI’s 2008-2010 construction plan • STEP plan (2008-2017) approved by SPP BOD • Transactions (Interchange) • Latest transactions (interchange) for 2012 based on ETI and SPP’s OASIS • Only Long-term Firm transactions will be considered
Reliability Study Process : Key Inputs • SPP-ETI Transfer Scenario • Units in SPP footprint are ramped up based on reserve capacity • Units in ETI will be backed down based on heat rate characteristics • RMR units in ETI will be backed down when other units reach their minimum limit • Units not owned/operated by ETI will not backed down • Contingencies Examined • Breaker to Breaker in ETI • 100 kV and higher outside ETI • 100 kV and higher in SPP • Monitored Transmission Facilities • 100 kV and above in SPP, ETI and Rest of Entergy • Interfaces, identified flowgates
Market Power Mitigation Study : Key Inputs • The latest version of PROMOD IV with 6 digit bus numbers will be used • Generation Details • ETI : Publicly available data based on typical characteristics • SPP: Actual Data as provided by SPP members • RMR details will be modeled using Proxy approach (key interfaces, flowgates) • Typical Load shape will be used for ETI for hourly load forecast in study year (2012) • Fuel price data and other inputs will be coordinated with ERCOT for consistency
Time Line • Final input data will be ready by April end • Study Models Finalized • Reliability Assessment Study Model : April 2008 • MP Mitigation Assessment Study Model : May 2008 • Preliminary Results Expected • Reliability Assessment : July 2008 • MP Mitigation Assessment : September 2008
