  1. Western Energy Information Repository Objective: A central information source about electricity and natural gas supply, demand, infrastructure and interdependence in the western states

  2. Benefits: • Western Region focus • Functioning data and update system • Means/use of regular communications • Common data base and metrics • Current information • Central web site

  3. What CEC currently shares Natural Gas Annual (& 3-yr. Monthly) demand forecasts NARG inputs, assump. & outputs (w/Users) Electricity Power plant list of CA generation (web) HESI model updates, partial data (w/Users) Acid rain data base for CA plants Hydro conditions Prelim. Mix of CA gen in 2000

  4. Proposed generation within the Western Systems Coordinating Council - MW http://www.energy.ca.gov/electricity/wscc_proposed_generation.html

  5. Some Useful Western Data Natural Gas Regional Demand forecasts (R,C,I, EG) Supply/pipeline events, status, rumors Electricity Area specific demand forecasts Characterizations of existing plants Plans for retrofits or long maintenance outages for major plants Continued inputs to WSCC new plants database Knowledge about imports and exports Probability/key constraints on building new transmission (i.e., candid opinions )

  6. What needs to be done? • See if there is common interest • Form interested core team • Design basic components, metrics • Access/use of EIA data • Find $$$ for contractor support • Identify appropriate state contacts • Model/Create data base • Establish web site(s)
