Objectives

• An Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) is a long-term study of the electric system that reflects a comprehensive consideration of assumptions, alternatives and uncertainty as of a date.

• This IRP examined the potential transmission and generation needs for long term system reliability under a range of scenarios and in the context of economic and policy considerations, including:

⎻ Meeting the newly enacted 50x30 Clean Energy Standard (CES), and

⎻ NYS Reliability Council and NYISO reliability planning criteria.

• The IRP was intended to identify resource needs, not to select specific transmission or generation proposals.

Approach: Methodology and Analytics

Summary developed based on LIPA’s confirmation of compliance with CES regulation.

A 20-year study (2016-2035) with a 10-year actionable period (2016–2025).

Over 50 scenarios and sensitivities analyzed.

Resource needs assessment: when, how much, and under what conditions.

Identification of resource solutions: conventional technologies, renewables, repowerings.

Development of key assumptions.

Use of sophisticated models.

Identification of case sets, including various off-shore wind and electric vehicle (EV) penetration scenarios developed as a result of collaborative efforts with NYSERDA, the DPS, and LIPA.

Sensitivity analyses around case sets, including those developed in collaboration with NYSERDA/DPS/LIPA.

Analyze results along a variety of parameters (e.g., emissions, renewables, costs, retail rates).

IRP reflects a disciplined, structured, and collaborative approach to examining alternative resource options

Industry Trend: Rapid Decline in Peak Load Forecast

Recent peak load forecasts show dramatic reductions from earlier forecasts driven by increases in energy efficiency, net metering, feed-in-tariffs, the decoupling of economic growth and energy use, and lower econometric growth projections.

LIPA CES Requirement (GWh)

State Initiatives: 50% by 2030 Clean Energy Standard

• LIPA’s CES requirement is 12.3% of the statewide requirement of 29,000 GWh by 2030

• The IRP assumed that LIPA would meet its requirements by:

– Acquisition of 400 MW of renewable resources by 2022.

– Additional 400 MWs of utility scale renewables to comply with CES by 2030.

– Small deficits in 2021 and 2029/30 are assumed to be met with banked credits.

• Energy Efficiency, rooftop solar, and other behind the meter renewables are expected to reduce LIPA’s load by approximately 950 MW by 2030 (~2,200 GWh).

State’s 50x30 CES will require that LIPA acquire 800 MW (nameplate capacity) of new renewable generation; load is expected to be reduced by ~950 MW by 2030 through energy efficiency, rooftop solar, and other ‘behind the meter’ initiatives.

The PSA steam units represent 40% of LIPA’s capacity but the plants’ usage has declined precipitously since the late 1990s with the addition of more efficient on-island generation and new transmission cables that better connect Long Island with regional power markets.

Approach Benefits Challenges

Self Supply By Entering Into

Power Purchase Agreements

• Resources are directly connected to the Long Island grid

• Existing 400 MW initiative ensures 50x30 compliance through 2023

• Limited on-island sites for solar and otherresources

• Limits scale benefits as projects are sized to meet only Long Island needs

Utilize Statewide CES Initiatives

• Wide-ranging options (hydro, terrestrial wind, solar) in combination with other utilities through NYSERDA

• Reduced cost from scale economies of larger offshore wind buildouts

• Impact on Long Island generation depends on points of interconnection

LIPA has a number of options to meet Governor Cuomo’s 50 x 30 Clean Energy Standard; it will require the equivalent of 700–800 MWs (nameplate) of new renewable generation.

• LIPA executed a contract for a 90 MW offshore wind project – a gateway project to develop Long Island’s offshore wind resource.

• Governor Cuomo’s commitment to 2,400 MW of Offshore Wind by 2030 potentially provides the economies of scale associated with larger projects in partnership with the State’s other utilities.

• NYSERDA to issue its Offshore Wind Master Plan in late 2017.

Steam Plant Modernization: Introduction

• LIPA does not need to add generation to meet load growth through at least 2035.

• LIPA has received three proposals to build combined cycle plants to modernize the steam units:

o Caithness II: a 706 MW project identified as part of a 2010 RFP.

o Barrett repowering: a 637 MW project that would replace the Barrett steam units and most of the on-site combustion turbines; studied as part a State legislative requirement.

o Port Jefferson repowering: a 397 MW project that would replace the Port Jefferson steam units; studied as part a State legislative requirement.

o Northport repowering: to be studied as part of a State legislative requirement.

• The PSA expires in 2028, but LIPA has ramp down rights for all PSA generating units including Port Jefferson, Barrett and Northport.

• An IRP typically identifies needs and then leads to follow on studies and possibly procurements for resources that best meet the identified needs.

LIPA is considering three proposals to build large new “baseload” combined cycle plants. These proposals can be evaluated relative to how well they fit the system needs identified in the IRP.

Steam Plant Modernization: Net Cost Through 2030

Cost for steam plant modernization would exceed $5 billion or $2,210 for an average residential customer through 2030 and is not required for reliability purposes. Repowered plants or the addition of a new combined cycle capacity show a declining capacity factor and a considerable cost relative to CES compliance. A new combined cycle plant unencumbered by other competing combined cycle plants or renewables would be expected to have a capacity factor in excess of 80%.

• Average annual cost for steam plant modernization for a typical residential customer is about ~$170/year over the period 2017 – 2030.

• Cost impacts are measured against the IRP CES compliance case.

Steam Plant Modernization: Benefits Comparison

Modernizing the steam plants has fuel efficiency and emissions rate benefits. Similar or greater benefits may be available from other proposals.

Comparison of New Combined Cycle Plant to Existing Steam Plants

Characteristic Repower Barrett and Port Jefferson Caithness II

Reliability Same Same

Capacity Same Increased*

Fuel efficiency Higher Higher

Emissions rate Lower Lower

Storm Resiliency Same Same

Operational flexibility Higher Higher

Future flexibility to meet changing system needs Lower Lower

Cost Higher Higher

* Increased capacity is a negative characteristic in the current LIPA system environment given the excess on-island capacity.

Independent Brattle Group Assessment

The Brattle Group was retained by LIPA to provide an assessment and recommendation on whether it was reasonable and appropriate for LIPA to adopt the  NYISO reliability planning criteria in 2014 and whether it is in the best interest of customers to proceed with either Caithness II and/or the repowering projects.  

Brattle found that:

• It was appropriate for LIPA to adopt the NYISO reliability planning criteria in 2014.

• Deferring consideration of Caithness II in 2014 for further study was reasonable at the time and events since have validated that action.

• There is no compelling reason for LIPA to proceed with Caithness II or the Barrett or Port Jefferson repowering projects as none of the projects are needed for reliability or economic purposes.

Key Assumptions

• Load (peak and energy) forecasts approved by NYISO

• Assumes meeting the 50x30 Clean Energy Standard

• Assumes continuation of the Energy Efficiency Program over the study period

• Due to Demand Side Management (DSM) and Energy Programs, load growth is relatively flat through 2024, thereafter load growth averages ~65 MW/year through 2035 (~36 MW/year with the current 2017 NYISO peak load forecast).

• Fuel and emissions forecasts developed by Energy Ventures Analysis, Inc. for base, high, and low scenarios; dated 8/25/2016

• Unit capacity updated as per NYISO’s 2015 Load & Capacity Data (Gold Book)

• Transmission model based on NYISO’s 715 FERC Base case for 2015

• Existing/recent RFP’s:

• South Fork: offshore wind, capacity resources, DSM, transmission

• Glenwood and Far Rockaway: transmission

• Upon contract expiration, units are assumed to continue operate as merchant units
