  17. External Agency Coordination

  18. External Coordination • Federal / State / County / Local • Wildland Fires • Response to Electrical Emergencies • NIMS Certification • Joint Training Initiatives • Preplans at Substations / UG Vaults • Summer / Winter Storms • Curtailment

  19. External Coordination • Extensive plans currently exist • Integrated Emergency Planning – continue to expand these efforts • Solid relationships exist with the various emergency management agencies • Build on those relationships for future needs

  20. Summary • Expansion of the electric infrastructure is on schedule • Maintenance efforts are likewise on track • Continued emphasis on joint planning and training with involved agencies for emergency preparedness

  22. Fuel and Purchased Power Adequacy • Nuclear • Full requirements under contract. • Coal Cholla • Current inventory and contract commitments provide adequate coal for the projected 2007 burn. • Normally 35 days or more of inventory on-site. Four Corners • Mine mouth plant with full supply contract in effect. • Coal supplier maintains in-pit and processing plant inventory • Normally 35 days of inventory available.

  23. Fuel and Purchased Power Adequacy • Natural Gas • Sufficient firm gas transport on El Paso system to supply APS’ natural gas requirements • Majority of physical gas supply under firm contracts with reliable counterparties • Gas purchased in daily spot market to adjust for fluctuations as needed with firm contracts • Adequate supplies available from Permian/San Juan basins • Regional gas storage inventory slightly above 5 year average • Adequate fuel oil back-up at the Yucca, West Phoenix and Saguaro Plants

  24. Fuel and Purchased Power Adequacy Planning Reserves • APS maintains a 15% planning reserve margin throughout the summer peak usage season • Reserves are sufficient to meet contingency requirements • Adequate replacement capacity is available from the market for Summer 2007 in the event it’s required

  30. Loads/Resources Adequacy APS Load and Resources • Planned Margin (Reserves) are required to manage uncertainties such as: 1. Load Forecast Uncertainties A. Extreme Weather B. Economic Changes 2. Multiple Generator Outages 3. Transmission Outages • Planned Margin Equals Resources minus Annual Peak Load. • Typical Industry Planned Margin is 12 to 18%. Planned Margin 1059 MW / 17.7% 7542 MW 8601 MW Peak Load Resources

  39. Primary Control Center

  40. Alternate Control Center

  41. State Wide Operations Coordination • Procedure Developed by APS/SRP/WAPA/TEP • Starting May 15th, Mondays or as needed • Timeline: 7:00AM Update status of equipment and field conditions for each utility 9:00AM APS/SRP/WAPA/TEP Conference call to discuss: Planned/Current generation outages Planned/Current transmission outages Weather forecast Load forecast Forest fires 10:00AM Internal meeting based upon current events

  42. Conclusions

  43. Conclusion • Generationresources are in place to meet customer load and reserve requirements • Transmissioncapacity in place to import remote generation and purchases • Distribution infrastructure improvements on schedule to meet customer needs. • Plans in-place to respond to extreme conditions
