2014 LTSA Update October 21, 2014
Outline • LTSA update • Case summary • Reliability analysis results • Next steps
LTSA Update • Four scenarios were shortlisted for transmission analysis based on stakeholder feedback • Current Trends (CT) • High Economic Growth (HEG) • Stringent Environmental (SE) • Global Recession (GR) • Reliability cases were prepared per the LTSA scope • Final 2013 RTP case for the year 2018 was used as a start case • 90th percentile load forecast by weather zone was used for the cases • Additional generation was added based on the outcome of generation expansion analysis • Generation siting methodology was used to keep siting consistent across scenarios
Case Summary: 2029 Reliability Case (summer peak) *Total generation available for reliability analysis under summer peak condition per the LTSA scope
Impact of solar adds • The LTSA scenario assumptions lead to significant solar additions in the next decade • Amount of utility solar increases from 150 MW to about 10,000 MW • Solar output is known to be co-incident with the demand
Next steps • Complete N-1, G-1 + N-1 and X-1 + N-1 reliability analysis • Compile list of reliability projects for different scenarios • Complete economic analysis • Summarize results in the 2014 LTSA
