Arizona Corporation CommissionIndustry and Public WorkshopIntegrated Resource Plan Assessment October 25, 2012 • Purpose • To present Staff’s Preliminary Findings on the 2012 Integrated Resource Plans of: • APS – Arizona Public Service Company • TEP – Tucson Electric Power Company • UNS – UNS Electric, Inc. • AEPCo – Arizona Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. • As required by the Commission’s IRP Rules • To solicit input from all stakeholders
Integrated Resource Planning • The purpose of Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) • To develop a long-term plan to meet customers’ electric needs taking into consideration: • Input of all stakeholders • All Relevant Costs • Reliability of service • Environmental and societal impacts • Demand Reduction and Increased Supply on an equal basis
Arizona IRP Requirements • Each IRP must be reasonable and in the public interest , considering the following factors: • The total cost of electric energy services; • The degree to which the factors that affect demand, including demand management, have been taken into account; • The degree to which supply alternatives, such as self-generation, have been taken into account; • Uncertainty in demand and supply analyses, forecasts, and plans, and whether plans are sufficiently flexible to enable the entity to respond to unforeseen changes in demand and supply factors; • The reliability of power supplied, including fuel diversity and non-cost considerations; • The reliability of the transmission grid; • The environmental impacts of resource choices and alternatives; • The degree to which the entity considered all relevant resources, risks, and uncertainties; • The degree to which the entity’s plan for future resources is in the best interest of its customers; • The best combination of expected costs and associated risks for the entity and its customers; and • The degree to which the entity’s resource plan allows for coordinated efforts with other entities.
Arizona IRP Requirements • Renewable Energy Requirement: • 3.5% of retail energy sold in 2012 • Increasing to 15% by 2025 • Distributed Renewable Energy Requirement: • 30% of the Annual Renewable Energy Requirement • Energy Efficiency Standard: • 3.0% of retail energy sold in 2012 • Increasing to 22% by 2020
