You need to understand how recent changes at the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) will affect renewable energy in Texas. Attend this webinar to hear Texas energy expert and Principal Solar, Inc. board member Ron Seidel provide an overview of recent changes at ERCOT and how they are likely to affect solar energy development in Texas. Ron will also provide expert insights into what is happening in the Texas electricity market today. Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity to find out how these changes might affect YOUR business by joining the LIVE webinar and participating in the live Question & Answer session following Ron's presentation.

- 1. Principal Solar Institute “How Do Recent Changes At ERCOT Affect You? An update on the ERCOT Resource Adequacy Situation " Ron Seidel Director, Principal Solar Ron Seidel is principal of RBS Energy Consulting, working with private equity, investment banks, and government on electric energy issues primarily in the ERCOT market. Previously, he was president of Texas Independent Energy, senior vice president of Energy Supply at City Public Service of San Antonio, and an executive at TXU where he was senior vice president of Fossil Generation and Mining, president of TXU Energy Trading, and operations manager at the Comanche Peak Nuclear Plant.

ERCOT Facts & Figures 200,000 Square Miles 40,530 miles of Transmission (2012) 74,000 MW Peak Capacity 10,574 MW of wind generation 67,180 MW Peak Load (2013) – Increase of 632 MW over 2012 Peak Load (1%) – Reduction of 1,125 MW from 2011 Peak Load (-1.6%) 13.75% Target Reserve Margin Source: ERCOT
- 6. ERCOT Load Growth ERCOT Projected Average Load Growth 2014 – 2022 is 1.5% or ~1,050 MW per year – Down from over 2% in previous ERCOT projections Equivalent to – One nuclear plant each year – Two coal plants each year – Two combined cycle gas plants each year Sources: ERCOT , RBS Energy Consulting
- 7. ERCOT Reserve Margins December 2012 / May 2013 Reports 14.0 12.0 10.0 Target =13.75% 8.0 % 6.0 4.0 2.0 0.0 2013 2014 2015 2016 December 2012 Source: ERCOT 2017 2018 2019 2020 May 2013 2021 2022

- 10. Why is Resource Adequacy an Issue? Low natural gas prices reduce financial viability for new resources Peak power prices have been limited, restricting revenue for generators – especially peakers Market energy prices have not sent adequate signals to incent new capacity investment Electricity demand growth in Texas is significant, creating the need for new capacity May not be an issue
- 11. Questions What can be done to incent the development of new capacity – especially peaking capacity? Can the current energy-only market be modified to provide the necessary incentives? Should some form of capacity market be developed to ensure adequate resources are available when needed? Are the methods used for forecasting of demand and resource growth appropriate?
- 12. Public Utility Commission Actions Raised the System Wide Offer Cap (SWOC) – – – – $4500/ MWhr beginning August 2012 $5000/ MWhr beginning June 2013 $7000/ MWhr beginning June 2014 $9000/ MWhr beginning June 2015 Process for recalling mothballed units for peak months Better pricing for ancillary services and RUC units Increased Peaker Net Margin to $300,000 or 3 X cost of new entry Operating Reserve Demand Curve by Summer 2014 designed to increase prices during scarcity periods Mandatory versus target reserve margin Source: The Brattle Group
- 13. Mandatory Reserve Margin Decision Supported by Commissioners Marty and Nelson Opposed by Commissioner Anderson Senator Fraser opposes action – Beyond PUCT authority – Will hold a hearing First step toward capacity market? – PUCT/ERCOT auction to ensure adequate capacity – Retail Electric Providers procure capacity
- 14. ERCOT Activities Wind Reliability factor increased – From 8.7% to 14.2% for West Texas wind – From 8.7% to 32.9% for Coastal Wind – Added over 900 MW of reliable resources Revising Load Forecasting Methodology New Demand Response Initiatives – 30 minute Emergency Response Service Pilot – Market bid demand response on 5 minute intervals
- 15. Future PUCT Considerations Should the electric market in ERCOT provide the same level of reliability as currently provided under ERCOT's reliability standard? Is another standard more appropriate? – ERCOT: 13.75% target reserve margin, or – NERC: 15% reference reserve margin What should the mandatory reserve margin be and how should it be ensured?
- 16. Current PUCT Considerations How can ERCOT's Capacity, Demand, and Reserves report be improved? Can the CDR report be used to measure the ERCOT market's progress in achieving the planning reserve margin? Waiting on a Brattle report due February 1 Waiting on the ERCOT December Capacity, Demand and Reserves Report
- 17. The Players Generators and PUCT Chair Nelson support a capacity market to ensure adequate reserves Many consumers support continuing with an energy only market with improvements Commissioner Anderson argues ERCOT has adequate reserves through 2018 New Commissioner Brandy Marty, appointed in August, will likely be the swing vote and now seems to favor a capacity market
- 18. What is a Capacity Market? Can take many forms Typically provides generators a guaranteed revenue stream sufficient to pay their full cost of production Usually an auction – ~ Three years in advance of the delivery year – Existing and new capacity Current market has some attributes of a capacity market –
- 19. PUCT Chairman’s Questions What resources should participate? How far forward should procurement occur? Should load serving entities have reliability responsibility? Should there be a transition mechanism? How should an auction be structured? How should self provision by load serving entities be structured?
- 20. Where Do We Go From Here? More PUCT Workshops / Deliberations / Rulemakings No real capacity issue until 2015 when reserve margin drops to 11.6% 2013 Legislature did not address the resource adequacy issue. Will they in 2015? My opinion: Some form of capacity market , possibly in early 2014
- 21. Potential Consequences Addition of a forward capacity market – Higher costs for consumers – Minimal renewable participation – Excess capacity if reserve forecasts are inaccurate – Unanticipated and unintended consequences Continuation of an energy only market – Higher costs for consumers due to tweaks – Insufficient capacity – Unintended and unanticipated consequences
- 22. Renewables Competitive “…both natural gas and renewable resources are likely to be competitive across a broad range of potential future market outcomes.” -Long Term Assessment for the ERCOT Region, December 2012

- 24. Achievable Solar PV Energy in Texas Reference: ERCOT Peak Load ~68 GW Urban PV = 154 GW (13% of U.S. Total) Rural PV = 20,000 GW (14% of U.S. Total) Achieving just 1% of this capability would produce over 200 GW or almost three times the current ERCOT maximum load.

- 26. Solar Growth There were no solar projects in the ERCOT pipeline in December 2012 Currently, there are 19 solar projects under evaluation – Total over 1300 MW – Size range from 20 MW to 200 MW All of these projects are schedule for completion by the end of 2015 Not all will be built

- 29. How Do Recent Changes at ERCOT Affect You? Uncertainty will be around for some time to come. A forward capacity market or modified energy market will result in increased customer costs for reliability. The renewable contribution will increase, bringing benefits like cleaner air and, ultimately, lower energy costs.
