Background • The calculation of ICR-Related Values* is conducted pursuant to Section III.12 of the Tariff • In November 2018, the ISO, joined by NEPOOL, filed with FERC proposed revisions to two assumptions used in the calculation of ICR-Related Values: • Change the modeling of load relief assumed obtainable through the implementation of 5% voltage reduction action of OP-4 from 1.5% of the 90/10 peak to 1.0% • Modify the unavailability of peaking generation resources in the TSA from a 20% deterministic adjustment factor to be the units’ EFORds • FERC accepted the proposed revisions in a January 8, 2019 letter order and the revised assumptions are used in the ICR-Related Values calculations for the FCA for the CCP 2023-2024 (FCA14) and ARAs that will be conducted in 2020 *The ICR, TSA, LRA, LSR, MCL, Demand Curve values and the HQICCs are collectively referred to as the ICR-Related Values
Background, cont. • Mystic Units 8 & 9 were retained for fuel security in FCA 13 • Exelon elected to continue to operate for CCP 2022-2023 • For FCA 14, Mystic Units 8 and 9 are needed for fuel security, and Exelon again has the option to unconditionally retire prior to FCA 14 • Exelon has until January 10, 2020 to decide whether to retire or continue to operate for CCP 2023-2024 • The ISO will develop and file with FERC two sets of ICR-Related Values due to the timing of Exelon’s retirement decision for Mystic Units 8 & 9 • Similar to how ICR-Related Values were developed and filed at FERC with and without Clear River Unit 1 in FCA 13 • “Including Mystic Units 8 & 9” and “Excluding Mystic Units 8 & 9” scenarios • In January 2020, it is anticipated it will be clearer which FCA 14 ICR-Related Values will be used in the FCA • Pending Exelon’s retirement decision on January 10, 2020 • Pending FERC’s approval of the ICR-Related Values in mid-January 2020
Objective of this Presentation • Review the ICR values for the two Mystic Units 8 & 9 scenarios • Review the impact of the 2019 CELT Report load forecast on ICR* • Review the FCA 14 ICR-Related Values review schedule *Impact of assumption changes on ICR including and excluding Mystic Units 8 & 9 will be presented at the August 29 and September 9 PSPC meetings, respectively

IMPACT OF Changes to the Load Forecast Methodology on ICR for FCA 14
2019 Gross Load Forecast Changes For the study period of CCP 2023-2024, the 2019 load forecast* model for ICR calculations has incorporated the following component changes as compared to the 2018 load forecast • Forecast Cycle (Vintage) Change • This would be the normal forecast change as done in the past • Underlying input assumptions seen in 2019 vs 2018 • Model estimation period – daily peak load and weather for the historical period covering 2004-2018 (2003-2017 used last year) • 2019 Changes to the methodology of the load forecast model • Added a Second Weather Variable (Modeling Specification) • Incorporated a second weather variable, cooling degree days (CDD), in addition to weighted temperature-humidity index (WTHI) • Separated July and August Peak Modeling (Monthly Peak Demand Modeling) • Developed separate July and August monthly models rather than a combined July/August summer seasonal peak model • Shortened Weather History (Weather History Change) • Historical weather period used to generate probabilistic forecast shortened from 40 years to 25 years • New 25-year period covers 1991-2015 (1975-2014 used last year) *For details of the 2019 load forecast, please see Review of the 2019 Long-Term Load Forecast presentation at: https://www.iso-ne.com/static-assets/documents/2019/07/20190725_a03_2019_longterm_forecasts_icr.pptx For details on the load forecast methodologies and assumptions, please see: https://www.iso-ne.com/committees/reliability/load-forecast/
Analysis to Identify Impact on ICR associated with the Changes in Load Forecast Methodology The following simulations were conducted using a common set of resource assumptions developed for FCA 14 ICR calculations for scenario that includes Mystic Units 8 & 9 to identify the impact of each of the methodology changes to the gross load forecast model for the CCP 2023-2024: 2018 Case • Calculate the ICR using the 2018 CELT gross load forecast for the CCP 2023-2024 Forecast Cycle Case • Calculate the ICR with the same load forecast modeling methodology as used to develop the 2018 CELT gross load forecast • Updated underlying input assumptions associated with the 2019 CELT forecast • Revised daily peak load and weather model estimation period • Used 2004-2018 instead of the 2003-2017 period used in the 2018 CELT load forecast
Analysis to Identify Impact on ICR associated with the Changes in Load Forecast Methodology, cont. Second Weather Variable Case • Using the Forecast Cycle Case input assumptions modify the gross load forecast based on incorporating a second weather variable, cooling degree days (CDD), in addition to the weighted temperature-humidity index (WTHI) Separate July and August Peak Load Model Case • Using the Forecast Cycle Case input assumptions modify the gross load forecast developed by using separate July and August monthly peak models rather than a combined July/August summer seasonal peak model Shorter History Weather Period Case • Using the Forecast Cycle Case input assumptions modify the gross load forecast developed based on a shorter historical weather period, from 40 years to 25 years, to generate the probabilistic forecast. The new 25-year period covers 1991 through 2015 instead of the 40-year (1975 through 2014) period used in the 2018 CELT load forecast
Analysis to Identify Impact on ICR associated with the Changes in Load Forecast Methodology, cont. Methodology to Obtain Impact of Individual Changes • The impact of the forecast cycle change is obtained by comparing the ICR of the 2018 Case with the ICR of the Forecast Cycle Case • The impact of each component change to the load forecast methodology is obtained by comparing the ICR of each case with and without the change
Estimated Impacts on ICR due to 2019 Gross Load Forecast Changes
Summary and ObservationsFCA 14 ICR Results • Summary of ICR scenarios • Due to the size of the Mystic Units 8 & 9 and their availability relative to the availability of the system resources mix, including Mystic Units 8 & 9 would increase the system ICR • However, tie benefits including Mystic Units 8 & 9 is 30 MW higher than excluding them, resulting in an overall decrease of system ICR • The net difference in ICR and net ICR between the two Mystic Units 8 & 9 scenarios are 7 MW and 5 MW, respectively • Higher ICR and net ICR when Mystic Units 8 & 9 are excluded from the system
Summary and ObservationsImpact of Load Forecast Methodology on ICR • If the forecast methodology were not changed and a new load forecast is developed for the 2023-2024 CCP with the underlying forecast assumptions updated, the net ICR would have been 300 MW lower as compared with the net ICR simulated using the 2018 CELT gross loads for 2023-2024 • The change in load forecast methodology that most impacted the net ICR is the addition of a second weather variable to the methodology • It decreased the net ICR by 855 MW • A shorter historical period lowered the net ICR by 140 MW • A separate monthly peak load model for July and August increased the net ICR by 45 MW as compared with using a combined July/August peak period model
