Mesa, AZ N. Pasadena, Suite 101 K. R. Saline & Associates, PLC ACC BTA Workshop May 22-23, Overview Increasing public policy interest in renewable development Need for more transmission in evidence Specific initiatives addressing integration of renewable energy sources into system

Mesa, AZ N. Pasadena, Suite 101 K. R. Saline & Associates, PLC ACC BTA Workshop May 22-23, Public Policy Interest in Renewables Climate change / greenhouse gas concerns Regulatory requirements-renewable portfolio standards Diversity of fuel sources for growing load Potential for federal regulation of conventional fuel sources - “Carbon Tax”

Mesa, AZ N. Pasadena, Suite 101 K. R. Saline & Associates, PLC ACC BTA Workshop May 22-23, Need for Transmission Growing loads, transmission limitations Renewables may be remotely located without access to available transmission Financing of transmission can be expensive and difficult for smaller intermittent renewable generators Some studies, governmental/NGO private initiatives to address these issues

Mesa, AZ N. Pasadena, Suite 101 K. R. Saline & Associates, PLC ACC BTA Workshop May 22-23, WestConnect Planning Biennial Long Range Study A Westconnect–wide long range, conceptual study of transmission improvements needed to integrate renewables in the 10 th year and beyond Study will include findings of NREL wind/solar integration study, Colorado Resource Energy Zones Study, New Mexico collector study, and SWAT Renewable Task Force Complete initial study in 2009

Mesa, AZ N. Pasadena, Suite 101 K. R. Saline & Associates, PLC ACC BTA Workshop May 22-23, Other Initiatives WGA West-wide Renewable Energy Zones Regional initiative to identify best renewable resources and designate Renewable Energy Zones, based upon commercial potential and cost-performed by consultant Inclusive stakeholder process to establish criteria to designate and validate zones for development Develop conceptual transmission plans through WECC and subregional planning groups to deliver from highest ranking zones Report to WGA re: commercial obstacles Identify options for interstate cooperation of planning and permitting Kick off meeting May 28, 2008 in Salt Lake City

Mesa, AZ N. Pasadena, Suite 101 K. R. Saline & Associates, PLC ACC BTA Workshop May 22-23, California Renewable Energy Transmission Initiative (“RETI”) PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E filed renewable transmission reports with CPUC in September 2007 RETI formed with collaborating agencies and entities: CPUC, CEC, CAISO, Utilities, and other stakeholders Purpose - identify transmission necessary for California to achieve its renewable energy goals in cost-effective and environmentally sensitive manner. Final B&V report 5/16/08 Study area includes CA, BC,WA, NV, OR, AZ and Baja Norte Phases: Identify zones, identify conceptual transmission, assist in development of detailed plans

Mesa, AZ N. Pasadena, Suite 101 K. R. Saline & Associates, PLC ACC BTA Workshop May 22-23, Colorado Initiatives Clean Energy Development Authority (“CEDA”) to develop three year plan, work with Colorado PUC & Colorado Coordinated Planning Group (“CCPG”) SB requires each regulated utility to: –Designate Resource Energy Zones, –Develop needed transmission plans, –Encourage locally owned renewables, and –Submit plans and CPCN applications Utilities working with CCPG in phases: –April-July transmission planning groups, –November issue study plans, –Nov-Jan 09 prepare CPCN studies, –March 09 file CPCN applications, –Oct 09 file transmission plans

Mesa, AZ N. Pasadena, Suite 101 K. R. Saline & Associates, PLC ACC BTA Workshop May 22-23, Colorado Resource Energy Zones

Mesa, AZ N. Pasadena, Suite 101 K. R. Saline & Associates, PLC ACC BTA Workshop May 22-23, Nevada’s Initiative (“RETAAC”) Renewable Energy Transmission Access Authority Created by Executive Order of the Governor RPS - Nevada is a net importer Purpose: –Identify and rank commercially developable locations for renewable energy –Assess existing and planned transmission access to these resources –Make recommendations for additional transmission Phase 1 Report identified REZ, transmission required for access to grid, recommended transmission lines Future phases will include more detailed environmental review

Mesa, AZ N. Pasadena, Suite 101 K. R. Saline & Associates, PLC ACC BTA Workshop May 22-23, Nevada RETAAC Plan Circles/Ovals Identify Renewable Energy Zones Conceptual Transmission Plan Shown By Brown / Purple Lines Per NPC/SPPC 5/19/08 SWAT presentation

Mesa, AZ N. Pasadena, Suite 101 K. R. Saline & Associates, PLC ACC BTA Workshop May 22-23, New Mexico’s Initiatives SWAT New Mexico Study Group performed 2007 Cluster Study of Potential Wind Projects in Central NM 2007 Legislature created the New Mexico Renewable Energy Transmission Authority (RETA) RETA’s Purpose: –Orchestrate multistate, multi-electric utility negotiations to facilitate development of NM transmission infrastructure for renewable energy development and export –Focus is on electric system transmission infrastructure planning, financing, and implementation –A onetime only $1 million general startup fund authorized 2008 SWAT Renewable Task Force Study Participant
