Incremental Rate

7

B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N

August 8, 2012 Predecisional - For Discussion Purposes Only

Background• New Transmission facilities required to serve new

requests for service are subject to the “higher of” test, also known as the “or” test. Under this test, BPA may charge the higher of the embedded cost rate with the new facilities included, or an incremental cost rate that fully recovers the costs of the new facilities from the requests that need the facilities over the contract term.

• Under our current (FY12-13) Rate Schedules, incremental cost rates must be established in a 7(i) rate case.

• In the workshops prior to the FY10-11 and FY12-13 rate cases, BPA and customers considered developing a formula incremental rate. Discussions were productive, but BPA and customers ultimately decided in the workshops not to develop a formula incremental rate during these rate cases.– BPA and customers decided to focus on other rate case

issues instead.

August 8, 2012 Predecisional - For Discussion Purposes Only

Background, cont.• BPA continues to believe that it could have a need for

incremental costs rates in the future. – Network Open Season reform is being discussed now.

Network upgrades identified in future Network Open Season cluster studies as required for service, but that do not move forward at embedded costs rates, will be subject to incremental rates.

– Intertie upgrades may also be subject to incremental costs rates.

– The incremental rate would apply to service taken under the upgrades, once they were constructed and energized.

– If there is not a formula incremental rate in place, the incremental rate would have to be developed in a 7(i) process after or simultaneously with completion of the NEPA study. This could be an iterative process and may have to be repeated for each individual project that was moving forward at an incremental rate.

Question• The question at this point is whether it would be beneficial to

take the time now to work through specific Network and Intertie examples to better understand all the inter-related revenue requirement and revenue recovery issues involved in developing a formula incremental rate, or wait to have such a discussion when we are ready to establish rates through the 7(i) process.– Advantages to developing and adopting a formula rate now:

• Formula would be in place when it was needed, potentially minimizing the time required to offer service under the rate.

• In theory, would eliminate the need to run a special 7(i) process to develop the rate later.

• While it may be difficult to develop a formula incremental rate in the abstract, BPA could use the Garrison to Ashe project from the 2010 NOS as an example in developing the formula.

– Advantages to waiting to develop a rate:• May be easier to develop and tailor an incremental rate for a specific

project, rather than developing one in the abstract. • May be a more efficient use of BPA and customer resources to develop a

rate at the time it is needed.

Attachment M - Redispatch

13

B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N

August 8, 2012 Predecisional - For Discussion Purposes Only

Types of Redispatch Under Attachment M Under Bonneville’s Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT), Attachment

M, Transmission Services (TS) requests redispatch from Power Services as part of its congestion management efforts.

There are three different types of Attachment M redispatch: Discretionary Redispatch - requested by TS prior to curtailing any firm or

non-firm point-to-point (PTP) schedules or secondary NT schedules for the purpose of avoiding or ameliorating curtailments.

NT Firm Redispatch - requested by TS for the purpose of maintaining firm network transmission (NT) schedules after non-firm point-to-point (PTP) and secondary NT schedules are curtailed according to NERC curtailment priority.

Emergency Redispatch - requested by TS in response to a “system emergency” as defined by NERC.

Under Attachment M, in response to any redispatch request, including requests for redispatch specific to Network Load located either within or outside of the BPA control area, Power Services (PS) may provide redispatch through redispatch of federal generation, purchases and/or sales of energy, or purchases of transmission.

14

B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N

August 8, 2012 Predecisional - For Discussion Purposes Only

Discretionary Redispatch TS may request Discretionary Redispatch from PS prior

to curtailing any firm or non-firm PTP schedules or any firm or secondary NT schedules in order to avoid or ameliorate curtailments.

PS has the discretion whether or not to provide requested amount, or any amount less than the total request.

TS has the discretion to request Discretionary Redispatch and PS has the discretion to provide Discretionary Redispatch. There is no obligation on either party.

15

B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N

August 8, 2012 Predecisional - For Discussion Purposes Only

NT Redispatch Requested by TS only after all applicable non-firm point-to-

point (PTP), secondary NT schedules and conditional firm schedules are curtailed according to NERC curtailment priority.

For NT Reliability Redispatch, TS requests redispatch from PS and simultaneously curtails firm PTP schedules in amounts proportionate to the firm NT and firm PTP flows on the affected transmission flowgates at the time of the request.

PS must comply with requests for NT Reliability Redispatch to the extent that it can do so without violating non-power constraints.

BPA is currently reviewing options for using non-federal resources, in addition to the FCRPS, to provide NT Reliability Redispatch.

16

B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N

August 8, 2012 Predecisional - For Discussion Purposes Only

Additional NT Redispatch Options• BPA’s OATT, based on the pro forma tariff, provides for

Redispatch of all designated Network Resources.• BPA agrees in principle that processes, systems and

business practices to implement least cost redispatch from all federal and non-federal Network Resources with the potential to resolve the transmission constraint is desirable.

• Reduction in FCRPS flexibility. – Due to non-power constraints placed on the FCRPS for flood control, fish and

wildlife, navigation, recreation, and other special operations, the ability to move/adjust federal generation has become more limited since the inception of Attachment M in 2001.

– Balancing Authority Area (BAA) requirements such as additional balancing reserves for variable generation have further reduced FCRPS flexibility.

• Additional resources for NT Redispatch are needed to maintain reliable service to Network Loads through Redispatch during transmission congestion.

Attachment M Redispatch - Actual and Forecasted Costs

In the 2012 Transmission Rate Case, Transmission Services forecasted a total of $400,000 per year for Attachment M Redispatch costs. This amount was included as part of the overall Transmission Services’ revenue requirement.

Power Services is only compensated when there is a redispatch event.

Potential FY 2014-2015 Rate Case Items In the 2012 Transmission Rate Case, Attachment M

costs were estimated and included in the network revenue requirement. Because the rate levels were settled, Attachment M costs were not allocated to customer classes.

BPA is considering three alternatives for rate recovery of Redispatch costs. Under all three alternatives, the cost of NT Redispatch would be allocated to NT Customers only. Alternative 1: Recover all Redispatch costs in the network

revenue requirement. Alternative 2: Recover all Redispatch costs through a Formula

Rate. Alternative 3: Recover NT Redispatch costs through a Formula

Rate and Discretionary and Emergency Redispatch costs in the network revenue requirement.

Redispatch Rate RecoveryAlternative 1

Alternative 1: Recover all Redispatch costs in the network revenue requirement.

Pros: Creates more certainty for customers with regard to cost since

they will be set in the rate case. Is the most administratively simple to implement. No impact to billing.

Cons: Redispatch costs have varied significantly from year-to-year and

are difficult to forecast because they occur infrequently. NT Redispatch costs, in particular, will be difficult to forecast

because it is difficult to anticipate congested network conditions and BPA is considering significant changes to the resource pool that will provide NT Redispatch during the rate period.

Under or over-recovery is likely, the magnitude of which may be significant for NT Redispatch.

August 8, 2012 Predecisional - For Discussion Purposes Only

Redispatch Rate RecoveryAlternative 2

Alternative 2: Recover all Redispatch costs through a Formula Rate (NT Redispatch will be allocated to NT Customers only).

Pros: Redispatch costs have varied significantly from year-to-year and are difficult

to forecast because they occur infrequently. Use of a formula rate would ensure that redispatch costs would not be under or over-recovered.

The costs of redispatch have historically been relatively small. A formula rate would not create a great deal of uncertainty for customers with regard to their total cost of transmission.

Decisions on specific resources to add to the resource pool for the NT Redispatch program could be made after the initial rate proposal because BPA would not have to forecast redispatch costs.

Cons: Customers would not know the redispatch costs they would have to bear

until after they have been billed. This may make budgeting more difficult. Creates additional workload for billing, particularly for Discretionary and

Emergency redispatch which requires allocation among customer classes.

Redispatch Rate RecoveryAlternative 3

Alternative 3: Recover NT Redispatch costs through a Formula Rate and Discretionary and Emergency Redispatch costs in the network revenue requirement (NT Redispatch will be allocated to NT Customers only).

Pros: Addresses the particular forecasting challenge for NT Redispatch. Some billing implementation workload, but less than Alternative 2. Creates certainty for customers on Discretionary and Emergency

Redispatch costs. Cons:

Uncertainty of forecast Discretionary and Emergency Redispatch costs.

Under or over-recovery is still an issue for Discretionary and Emergency Redispatch.

Rate Case Forecast to Actual Variance Summary

• Over FY09 through FY12, Transmission revenues before Reimbursable and Generation Inputs Rate Case revenue forecasts have been well aligned within ~2.5% variance.

• In FY08, a 5.7% positive variance is driven by:– Strong NT load growth to go along with colder winter and warmer

summer seasons. – High hydro run-off in May and June resulted in a ~$40M PTP ST year.

• There is a 6 to 8% positive variance in FY06 through FY07 due to:– Approximately 1,600 MW average of Point-to-Point (PTP LT)

acquisitions more than forecast in Rate Case in FY07.– Approximately 780 MW average over FY06 through FY07 of Southern

Intertie (IS LT) acquisitions more than forecasted in Rate Case. – Above average water year in 2006 resulted in high levels of short term

sales, a ~$40M PTP ST year.
