WV Energy Plan Public Hearing West Virginia Division of Energy Eric Bowen, PhD West Virginia Division of Energy September 2017

Coal

Coal Production, US and WV (Annual) Production fell from about 160M tons in 2008 to less than 80M in 2016. 2016 was a particularly bad year. It’s bounced back a bit so far in 2017 Key Drivers (DOE Report): Natural Gas boom – competitive fuel Environmental regulatory climate – particularly MATS Exports and international demand

Coal Production by WV Region (Quarterly) Production declines almost entirely in southern WV Production in southern WV was three times that of the north Declines have led to substantial employment losses, especially in the south Employment fell by 13T jobs between the end of 2011 and 2016 – 52% decline

Coal Mine Worker Productivity Northern WV had a shift from surface to underground mining Southern was a loss across the board – fallen by about half Has to do with best coal already being mined out

Figure 8: Coal Production Forecast Millions of short tons Forecasting more of the same Northern WV

Figure 9: Coal Employment Forecast Done before the recent up-tick in coal production Forecasting that employment will remain at its lower level for the next five years This is a challenge that the state will have to deal with for the foreseeable future

Natural Gas

Figure 11: Natural Gas Marketed Production This is certainly a different story than coal

Figure 12: Natural Gas Employment Forecast Gas employment has declined a bit as new drilling has fallen We forecast that employment will rise again over the next five years as we return to new drilling in the state

Figure 13: Natural Gas Production by County (2015) Most of the production and economic gains have gone to the northern part of the state Ritchie, Doddridge counties were mostly rural with little economic activity Large increases around the Marshall County and Wheeling areas

Figure 14: Natural Gas State-to-State Pipeline Transmission Capacity, WV (Annual) One bottleneck for gas produced in WV has been pipeline capacity Currently there are another 18,650 Bcf per day capacity planned More than double outgoing pipeline capacity Should allow local prices to equalize with higher prices in the Northeast US

Electricity Production

Figure 16: Electricity Generation by Fuel Type, US (Quarterly) Once again national trends are affecting WV Dramatic shift in the fuels used in electricity production

Figure 18: Coal-Fired Power Plant Retirements Decline in demand for electricity from coal-fired power plants has caused retirements to spike About 37 GW were retired nationwide between 2012 and 2015 About 2.4 GW were retired in WV About 14 percent of the state’s total capacity Increase in Natural Gas capacity About 1,900 MW of gas capacity have been proposed Replace about ¾ of retired coal capacity

Figure 19: Average Electricity Price by Consumer Category Also concerning, average electricity rate have gone up over the past decade Industrial rates are particularly concerning as our low rates were an attractive feature of the state for new businesses to come in Three potential reasons: Fuel price increases Emission control technologies Lower utilitzation may have caused utilities to recover revenues from stranded assets

Public Policy

Policy Options Worker Retraining Programs Severance Tax Modifications Research Electricity Rates Utility Restructuring Redevelopment Incentives for Retired Coal-Fired Power Plant and Mine Sites I will say up front that we are not advocating any particular public policy We do have some areas we think the state could examine in the coming years
