Overview of Proposed Changes - (NTTG Planning Committee Charter) • General Changes: • Deleted paragraph on “Authority of Planning committee” and “Project facilitation” – too obvious • Moved the Principles and Footprint/Coordination to an Appendix • Deleted “Biennial Transmission Planning Cycle”, “Footprint/Coordination” and “Confidentiality of Data”– already in Attachment K document • Partitioned the document into nine major sections as follows: • Purpose – edited extensively • Duties and Responsibilities – new section • Committee Operating Structure • Committee Chair • Committee Meetings • Decision Making • Technical Work Group - new • Budget • Change Control PROCESS AID FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE
I. Purpose • The purpose of the NTTG Planning Committee is to: • Provide a forum where all stakeholders are encouraged to participate in the planning, coordination, and development of a more efficient and more cost effective Regional Transmission Plan. • Prepare a Regional Transmission Plan consistent with applicable NERC and WECC system reliability standards and criteria, and public policy needs. • Ensure the Regional Transmission Plan satisfies FERC Order 890 and 1000 compliance requirements.. • The broad stakeholder participation envisioned in this process (including transmission owners, customers and state regulators) is intended to result in a Regional Transmission Plan that meet a variety of needs and has a broad basis of support.

II. Duties and Responsibilitiesof the Planning Committee • The NTTG Planning Committee reports to the NTTG Steering Committee and is responsible for: • Developing the study plan for each biennial cycle, • Obtaining NTTG Steering Committee approval of the study plan, • Performing and documenting the assessments as defined in the study plan, • Conduct stakeholder economic studies requests for the NTTG, • Coordinating transmission planning with adjacent regional planning groups, • Coordinating planning with the WECC planning committees, and • Publishing, on a biennial basis a Steering Committee approved regional Transmission Expansion Plan.

No changes applied to: • Committee Operating Structure • Committee Chair • Committee Meetings • Decision Making PROCESS AID FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE
V. Technical Work Group – “New” The NTTG Planning Committee will form and over see a Technical Work Group (TWG) having the proper technical skills, experience, tools and resources to perform the detailed analysis and studies required to support the biennial study cycle and the plan development overall. The TWG will be responsible for performing the bulk of the technical studies and analysis required by the most recent approved biennial regional transmission study plan. The Planning Committee will select individuals from the Planning Committee members based on transmission planning experience, access to and ability to use power system analysis and/or production cost simulation software, power system modeling expertise, and overall knowledge of the NTTG transmission footprint and the western interconnection.

Objective Regional Planning Process • Develop an initial regional transmission plan from a roll up of the local transmission plans • Improve upon that plan, if possible, • Develop a Regional Transmission Plan that meets the regional transmission needs more efficiently and cost effectively than the roll up of the transmission providers local transmission plans PROCESS AID FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE Planning Practice Pg 3

Biennial Planning Process While the resulting Regional Transmission Plan is not a construction plan, it will provide valuable regional insight and information for all stakeholders to consider and potentially modify their respective plans.

At a minimum a more efficient Regional Transmission Plan … • when compared to the initial transmission plan • meets the needs roughly commensurate • equal to or better reliability performance • congestion will not be greater • can be developed in the proper timeframe • does not accelerate any future problems unless • total cost with mitigation no greater than initial transmission plan • there is sufficient time to mitigate the problem PROCESS AID FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE Planning Practice Pg 14
At a minimum a more cost effective Regional Transmission Plan … • when compared to the initial transmission plan • total incremental capital cost is less than or equal to • total production cost of the is less than or equal to • or, the sum less than or equal to The study plan may modify the efficient and cost effective selection criteria after consultation with stakeholders.

Reevaluation of Project Selected in Regional Plan for Cost Allocation • A transmission provider solution maybe displaced during NTTG’s regional biennial planning • and a delay in development of a project selected in the regional plan for cost allocation occurs • Transmission Provider may choose to … • have effects evaluated in the biennial process • revise their local plan back to original solution that was displaced PROCESS AID FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE Planning Practice Pg 15
Methodology • The Plan will … • biennially prepare a long-term (up to 10 year) • describe the study techniques • identify the system conditions • use a recently TEPPC study base case • discussion the contingencies to be run • meet applicable NERC and WECC system reliability standards and criteria PROCESS AID FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE Planning Practice Pg 16-17

Cost Allocation Methodology Assessment Plan • NTTG must adopt a cost allocation methodology to meet the compliance requirements of Order No. 1000 • Work plan: • Analyze and prepare “book reports” on methodologies previously approved by FERC • Determine which metrics used to support these methodologies may be appropriate for NTTG’s use • Where possible, run modeling scenarios using the identified metrics to simulate cost allocation results for NTTG • Based on these analyses and stakeholder input, recommend a cost allocation methodology for approval by the NTTG Steering Committee PROCESS AID FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE
