  1. Regional Transmission Planning

  2. ISO-NE and TO Responsibilities Per Regional Agreements • The transmission operating agreement (TOA) defines the responsibilities of the RTO and the PTOs • The functions to be performed by the ISO and Order 2000 require that the ISO have the requisite operational authority over the PTOs’ transmission facilities • The ISO will be responsible for system planning within the ISO region subject to certain rights and obligations of the PTOs • The PTOs will, among other things, continue to own, physically operate, and maintain their Transmission Facilities and Local Control Centers • Attachment K of the Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) describes the regional planning process • The ISO shall conduct the regional system planning process for the PTF in coordination with the transmission-owning entities in, or other entities interconnected to, the New England Transmission System and neighboring systems • The PTOs are responsible for the Local System Planning (“LSP”) process for the Non-PTF in the New England Transmission System. PTF: a Pool Transmission Facility is essentially a networked facility (115 kV and above), with some grandfathered 69 kV facilities Transmission facility: all facilities 69 kV and above, including radials, except as explicitly excluded in the TOA

  3. ISO-NE Planning Process ISO-NE, with VELCO’s help, seeks input from PAC on study scope, needs assessment, solution evaluation ISO-NE, with VELCO’s help, performs studies with participation from other TOs ISO-NE includes study results and describes regional deficiencies in RSP ISO-NE seeks input from PAC on RSP report ISO-NE publishes RSP PAC = Planning Advisory Committee (similar to VSPC but on a regional scale) RSP = Regional System Plan. Used to be RTEP (Regional Transmission Expansion Plan)

  4. Status of Vermont 10-yr Study in ISO-NE Planning Process • ISO-NE will perform the needs assessment analysis from scratch for VT, NH, including parts of MA • The needs assessment study is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year, but will likely be delayed • ISO-NE is finalizing the study scope for the needs assessment • ISO-NE will complete the solutions assessment next year

  5. Overview of Study Scope • Year 2010 ISO-NE load forecast • Summer 90/10 peak reduced from 1183 MW (2008 forecast) to 1100 MW (2010 forecast) • Utilization of demand resources (DR) throughout New England • 89 MW applied homogeneously in Vermont • Supply scenarios • PV-20 flow at 0 MW – NY cannot guarantee support to VT • Highgate at 0 MW – HQ contract is not guaranteed to flow through Highgate • Vermont Yankee re-licensed (ON) or decommissioned (OFF) • Various power transfer conditions • Various contingencies in NY, VT, NH and MA

  6. Treatment of DR in ISO-NE Planning • Demand resources provide capacity benefits up to the value that cleared the ISO-NE forward capacity auctions (FCA) • The capacity is an average hourly value during the performance period over one month • Demand resources in the load flow model include • On peak resources • Real-time demand response • Real-time emergency generation is not included • Only called in the last steps (action #12) of operation procedure 4 (OP4) • Vermont total has been reducing greatly in the last three auctions • New England total amount is limited to 600 MW per market rules • Seasonal peak and critical peak are not included • No such resources in Vermont

  7. Demand Resource Definitions • On peak resources • Non-dispatchable and not weather sensitive load during peak hours • Peak hours are from 1PM to 5PM summer, 5PM to 7PM winter during non-holiday week days • Real-time demand response • Dispatchable load that can respond within 30 minutes and stay off-line for the duration of the event • Measures with no binding air quality permit restrictions during critical peak hours (load level at 95% or greater than the day-ahead 50/50 peak forecast or during shortage hours, i.e. OP4 action 6 or higher)

  8. Demand Resource Modeling • Demand resources are modeled by reducing the load across Vermont, NH and elsewhere • Demand resources are divided by 1.08 to remove the system loss gross-up • Losses are calculated by the load flow program • Demand response is reduced to 75% to represent historical performance

  9. Vermont Forecast Comparisons DR = Demand Resources FCA3 = Forward Capacity Auction #3

  10. Challenges for Vermont Planning Process • Substantial control over VT planning lies at the regional level with ISO-NE • Increasing importance and authority of regional studies that consider interdependencies among states • ISO-NE is not a party to the 7081 MOU • ISO-NE and Vermont planning processes are inconsistent • ISO: annual updates VT: three-year update cycle • ISO: 10-year horizon VT: 20-year horizon • ISO-NE process provides signal to market for DSM and generation alternatives by sharing study results in the regional stakeholder process • Forward capacity market determines what demand-side resources will be used. Cleared demand resources treated as load supply. • Challenge for VT stakeholders: how to keep in-state process relevant and ensure VT goals influence the regional process
