  1. SSWG Load Forecast Review Methodology Kevin Hanson RPG Meeting

  2. SSWG Load Forecast Review • The SSWG case is consistently higher than the adjusted CDR data. • ERCOT staff has been investigating into the cause of this difference. RPG Meeting

  3. Current Data Available • ERCOT staff has looked at multiple data sources available to investigate what is contributing to this difference. • FERC 714 (data from 1993 to 2000) • Control Area NCP • Control Area load at ERCOT CP • ALDR report (data from 2001 to 2008) • Bus level NCP (excluding losses and UFE) • Bus level load during ERCOT system CP (excluding losses and UFE) • Market settlements (2004 to 2008): • TDSP NCP (including losses and UFE) • TDSP load at ERCOT CP (including losses and UFE) RPG Meeting

  4. Possible Reasons – One year bump in loads (2008 to 2009) • One year increase in total coincident peak for the seven largest TSPs in approximately 5,400 MW • There exists an argument of 2007 and 2008 being relatively cool which justifies bump • If you assume 2006 to 2009 annual average growth rate of 2%, load for these seven TSPs would only increase approximately 3,300 MW while the underlying ALDR data increases approximately 5,200 MW for that same time period (difference of 1,900 MW) • One year bumps also occurred in the 2007 and 2008 ALDRs RPG Meeting

  5. Possible Reasons – Load forecasts from 2009 to 2015 • The seven largest TSPs’ aggregate load forecasts increase 2.15% • Two of these seven TSPs’ coincident peak forecasts is above 4.50% • If these 2 market participants coincident peak forecasts were only 2%, their combined load forecast by 2015 would be reduced approximately 2,300 MW RPG Meeting

  6. Possible Reasons – Non-coincident peak ratio • ALDR data (bus level NCP) from 2001 to 2008 shows about 7.6% non-coincident to coincident peak ratio • Market settlement NCP to CP (TDSP NCP) ratio from 2004 to 2008 is 3.60% • The NCP to CP ratio is 4.30% from 2009 to 2015 in the ALDR data which is bus level NCP • The 0.7% difference is probably about a 500 to 600 MW impact RPG Meeting

  7. Summary • Multiple TDSPs are assuming much larger CP load growth over the next 7 years (13,300 MW) than existed the past 8 years (5,300 MW) • ERCOT is attempting to understand the load forecasting process utilized by the TDSPs • We are trying to develop understanding of any inconsistencies in the levels of load included by each TDSP and we have talked to some already. • Is the one year bump up too high from 2008 to 2009 when 2009 is in a recession; is it even driven by economic or something else? • What level of coincidence consistency should be used? Bus level, TDSP level, or ERCOT coincident peak? • Looking at the historical data, is the load forecast too high? RPG Meeting
