  1. Summer Energy Market Assessment 2005 May 4, 2005 Federal Energy Regulatory Commission • Office of Market Oversight and Investigations Disclaimer: This Report contains analyses, presentations and conclusions that may be based on or derived from the data sources cited, but do not necessarily reflect the positions or recommendations of the data providers.

  2. 2004 Summer Assessment: Regional Markets Could Show Stress Under Certain Conditions this Summer – Most Notably the West. • Especially Tight Reserves in the West • Load Pockets • High Fuel Costs

  3. Regional Electric Market Issues will Depend On Local Resources, Demand and Operations.

  4. Load pockets in SW Connecticut and Boston Reserves may be low for very hot weather Below normal hydro conditions Regions with higher likelihood of fire Greater reliance on gas-fired generation MISO transition to full market operation PJM/MISO coordination PJM integration of new areas NYC/LI load pockets Short-term price spikes Tight reserves under extreme heat

  5. Key Electric Fuel Prices Remain High Sources: Natural Gas Intelligence, Bloomberg, L.P. and New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX).

  6. With Healthy Gas Storage Inventories, Oil is Driving Higher Prices Sources: Natural Gas Intelligence, Bloomberg, L.P. and New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX).

  7. New England Expects Record Peak Demand With Adequate Reserves Sources: NEPOOL 2004 – 2013 Forecast Report of Capacity, Energy, Loads and Transmission (2004 CELT Report) and discussion with ISO New England. Annual net generation from ISO New England.

  8. Generation and transmission capacity in SW Connecticut remains inadequate Secured 218 MW of emergency summer resources Load Pockets in New England may Face Continued Tightness

  9. Supply and Demand Conditions in the U.S. West this Summer may Result in Periods of Market Tightness – Higher Prices and Even Interruptions.

  10. Western Generation Is Heavily Dependent on Hydro and Natural Gas Source: OMOI Analysis of NERC 2004 ES&D database.

  11. Hydro and Snow Pack are Below Average Sources: OMOI analysis; derived from data from EIA, BPA, Natural Resources Conservation Services, and Bloomberg, L.P.

  12. Southern California’s Summer 2005 Resource Margins are Inadequate for an Extremely Hot Summer Sources: OMOI Analysis of the California Energy Commission Summer 2005 Electricity Supply and Demand Outlook Draft StaffReport, March 2005 and CAISO 2005Summer Operations Assessment, March 23, 2005.

  13. Most Recent NOAA Forecast is for Above Average Western Summer Temperatures

  14. Hotter-than-average weather Transmission disruptions Generation disruptions What Could Trigger Periods Of Electric Scarcity in the West?

  15. What Effects Would Scarcity Have on Western Markets? • Price levels are likely to be higher all summer due to more expensive gas. • Spikes possible due to extraordinary heat or system failures. • Forward contracting, Commission rules and oversight make spot price manipulation less likely.

  16. Western market behavior and prices New England prices in load pockets MISO implementation Price spikes in New York Natural gas storage fill Focus of Oversight Attention This Summer
