California’s Renewable Portfolio Standard

20 percent of customers’ energy needs from eligible renewable resources by 2010

– Increase 1 percent each year until the 20 percent is reached

– 33% RPS requirement currently a California Policy goal

Eligible renewable resources include:

– Biomass

– Geothermal

– Hydro projects less than 30 MW

– Solar

– Wind

Three acceptable approaches to procure renewable energy:

– Competitive solicitations

– Bilateral negotiations

– Utility-owned renewable energy projects

Flexible compliance options help mitigate transmission challenges, development delays

Frequency – generation reserves

??Adequate reserves to integrate 20% renewables

??Evaluating reserves for 33% renewables

Voltage Control – enabling technology

??Static VAR compensators, Synchronized Phasor Measurement Systems, Centralized Remedial Action Systems (adds 15-20% to costs)

Schedule

Interconnection Process

??Leading Generation Interconnection Process Reform (GIPR)

Permitting and Licensing

??Concurrent licensing and construction planning

??Facilitating transmission corridor designation

Cost

Clustering in GIPR and proactive transmission development under California Renewable Energy Transmission Initiative (RETI) leads to economies of scale

Bid Evaluation Approach

B/C Ratio =

Present Value of Total Benefits

Present Value of Total Costs

Energy Benefit

Reduction in total energy costs as a result of the project Capacity Benefit

The value of the increased reliability as a result of the project

The maximum production amount that SCE can reasonably rely upon during peak periods

Direct Costs

Based on the proposed energy price, expected generation profile and contract term Indirect Costs

Transmission costs related to the project

Debt Equivalence – impacts of contract commitments on SCE’s balance sheet

Proposals are ranked based on a benefitt—to—cost (B/C) ratio that weighs the total costs with the benefits to SCE’s resource portfolio

Solicitation Factors of Success

Competitively priced proposal

– Projects that qualify for federal subsidies have an advantage

– On-peak deliveries produce higher benefits, yielding higher benefit/cost ratios

– Federal subsidies include Production Tax Credits (for wind) or Investment Tax Credits (for solar)

Early place in the interconnection queue

– Provides priority for completing studies

– Allows for earlier interconnection, which can potentially avoid future transmission upgrade costs

– Helps bidders better understand their interconnection costs

Demonstrated signs of a viable project

– Site control

– Plan to deliver into CAISO grid

– Strong financial backing

– Realistic on-line dates and forecasted operating performance

Thoughtful edits to Pro Forma Contract

– Demonstrates major issues between buyer and seller to execute contract

– Gives some indication to the time required to develop and execute contract

SCE considers many factors when evaluating renewable energy projects
