  3. IID ENERGY TRANSMISSION INITIATIVES • Imperial Valley Study Group • CANDO – Control areas • PPIW – Large public power • wesTTrans.net - OASIS • West Connect – Regional IOU/public transmission planning group • “Green Path” – Transmission vehicle for providing 2000 mw+ to region

  4. Public Power Initiative of the West P P I W A voluntary collaboration of transmission owners located in the Western Interconnection not subject to FERC jurisdiction

  5. Our Objective P P I W To continue Public Power’s voluntary coordinated effort to identify enhancements to the grid throughout the Western US.

  6. Our Approach P P I W • Preserve our individual business models • Simple solutions that are cost justified • Incremental improvements to minimize risk or unintended consequences • Work to complement the goals of the Commission

  7. Formed to Address Change • Committed to supporting the public power process, even through forced RTO development in the West • Participants maintain ownership of wesTTrans; 90% of the vote is required to make changes • Committees established at three levels (executive, technical, and customer) to address future needs

  8. Accomplishments:Facilitated Transmission Access Improve on Order No. 888 by creating a common OASIS for accessing ATC, featuring: • Independent, third party administration • Improved user friendliness of the OASIS site – for example, by allowing reservations involving multiple transmission providers • Facilitated access to a workable secondary market • A market approach to transmission congestion management

  9. Goals for the Future P P I W • Encourage regional market price transparency for wholesale markets by implementing market price indices • Initiate independent auditing • Evaluate enhancements to the common OASIS • Explore bilateral market methods to increase efficient use of the transmission grid and minimize seams issues

  10. Goals for the Future P P I W • Support better coordination of transmission planning, expansion, interconnection and operations • Establish standard business rules and practices

  11. IID EnergyTransmission Overview

  12. Load Forecasts

  13. Limited Transmission Availability, Except for CAISO Mirage/Devers (600 MW) Blythe/Knob(250 MW) C.V. (1) The transmission capacity will increase to 300 MW after new Transformer and Phase Shifter installations. Ramon Niland Pilot Knob ECSS (2)Yucca (101 MW) (2) If Yucca is unavailable, no replacement energy is deliverable from APS (1) I.V. (225 MW) P.V.-I.V. (163 MW)
