Situation Today and Forecast 2001-2003 Problems: Reliability and Prices Contributing Factors Actions Underway Lessons for Restructuring Presentation Overview
CAL ISO Load/Resource Balance with 7% Operating Reserve at Coincident Peak 1 in 40 Year Peak Demand 1 in 5 Year Peak Demand 1 in 2 Year Peak Demand Existing generation excludes 2,500 MW for outages
Good news The West had no systemwide black-outs Bad news CA ISO had 32 Stage I alerts (<7% reserves) CA ISO had 17 Stage II alerts (<5% reserves) Shed firm load in San Francisco on June 14 High levels of system disturbance in West Reliability - Summer of 2000
Electricity costs for CA ISO customers 4/98 to 3/99 $ 6.7 billion 4/99 to 3/00 $ 8.1 billion 4/00 to 8/00 $12.1 billion This August, electricity cost $4.1 billion, 4 1/2 times what it cost the previous August. Wholesale Dollars at Stake

Are New Plants Economic? - New combined cycle need to receive about $80/kW - $100/kW/ year to cover total annual revenue requirements. - New generators would have lost money in 1998. - In 1999, a new efficient combined cycle might have covered its cost in Northern California’s energy market. It would have lost money in Southern California. - By September 1, 2000, a new generator would have already recovered two to three times its total annual revenue requirements.
In California 2001 - 2,000+ MW 2002 - 1,700 MW 2003 - 6,530 MW CA is 35% of WSCC’s load In the rest of the West 2001 - 4,500 MW 2002 - 2,400 MW 2003 - 6,900 MW Generation being built(estimated on-line dates, nameplate capacity)
What Actions Are Needed? • Enable electricity users to respond • To prices if they choose to do so • To sell their load for compensation • Encourage voluntary load reduction • Educate about the value of energy efficiency • Search for existing, but underused supplies • Work towards a regional solution
Energy Commission’sResponse to Supply Adequacy • Commission is: • processing record number of siting cases • proposing streamlined siting process laws and regulations • analyzing situation and informing market participants about options • making recommendations to CPUC and ISO • monitoring situation and identifying contingency plans • working towards a regional solution • encouraging mid-term contributions of energy efficiency, renewables and R & D
Reduce Demand for Electricity During Peak Periods Interruptible-Curtailable Program Public Utilities Commission reconsidering opt-out provision; considering replacement program Efficiency Program The Energy Commission and the Public Utilities Commission have been funded to sponsor at least 250 MW of new savings for next summer. Demand Bidding/Load Participation The ISO is revamping programs for Summer 2001.
