  1. March 1, 2007 ReportAn Overview October 30, 2006 – Staff Workshop

  2. Presentation Topics • Goals • Increase efficiency while increasing the scope of subject matter being reviewed • Promote self-critical reviews • Old v New March Reporting • Step through Vegetation Management as an example • Normalizing reliability indices • “Actual” – adjustments = “Adjusted” • Report appendices: all the various metrics

  3. What is our goal? • Storm Hardening efforts first discussed at the November 29, 2005 Internal Affairs • Storm Hardening Goals – are general public interest goals • Minimize damage due to major weather related events • Minimize restoration times following major weather events • Minimize the number and magnitude of rate increases • Reliability activities affect non-storm days and storm days. • Efficient use of resources • Promote utility self-critical review through reporting

  4. Old Report Process (Storm Hardening, Pole Inspections & Other Reliability Indices) • File summary data – without utility self-critical discussion or analysis • Staff requests selected detailed data • Trends in detailed data discussed/disputed with utility • Interpretations of trends in data discussed/disputed with utility • Management Audits • Drill-down audits of data records supporting summary reports.

  5. A Complete Reliability Report • Storm Hardened Facilities • Wood Pole Inspection Program • Vegetation Management • Other Storm Hardening Initiatives • Overhead/Underground • Overall Reliability • Adjustments • Resultant Reliability • Overhead / Underground • Customer Complaints • Appendix with supporting data

  9. Vegetation Management Program (Continued) • Describe tree clearing practices in utility easements and authorized rights-of-ways • Identify relevant portions of utility tariffs pertaining to utility vegetation management activities within easements and authorized rights-of-ways • Tree removal practices for trees that abut and/or intrude into easements and authorized rights-of-ways

  10. Vegetation Management Program(Continued) • Describe tree clearing practices outside of utility easements and authorized rights-of-ways • Identify relevant portions of utility tariffs pertaining to utility vegetation management activities outside of easements and authorized rights-of-ways • Tree removal practices for trees outside of easements and authorized rights-of-ways • Identify relevant portions of utility tariffs pertaining to customer vegetation management obligations as a term or condition of electric service

  11. Vegetation Management Program(Continued) • Describe Company practices regarding customer trim requests • Describe the criteria used to determine whether to remove a tree, replace a tree, spot-trim, demand trim, or mid-cycle trim, etc • Discuss any 2007 projected activities and budget levels. • Include the requirements of applicable Orders

  12. Other Storm Hardening InitiativesDocket 060198-EI • For each of the other ongoing storm hardening initiatives provide a detailed discussion describing the activity and costs incurred for 2006 and projected for 2007 • Overhead/Underground • Describe the process used by your company to identify the scope of storm hardening projects • Provide any quantified expected benefits • If benefit quantification is not practical or possible at this time, explain when or how the cost-effectiveness of the activity is assessed. • Include the requirements of applicable Orders

  13. Storm Season Ready Status • Describe the efforts the Company is taking to be storm-ready by June 1, 2007 • Revise/update June 5, 2006 Internal Affairs Presentation
