Transmission Incentives P. Kumar Agarwal Acting Director, Division of Reliability & Engineering Services Federal Energy Regulatory Commission U.S. DOE, Energy Information Administration 2009 Energy Conference Washington, DC April 7, 2009

2 History Energy Policy Act of 2005, August 5, 2005 Energy Policy Act of 2005, August 5, 2005 –Created FPA Section 219 FERC issued order No. 679 on July 20, 2006 adopting regulations to promote transmission investment through pricing reform FERC issued order No. 679 on July 20, 2006 adopting regulations to promote transmission investment through pricing reform

3 FPA Section 219 and Order No. 679 Goals Goals –ensure reliability and reduce the cost of delivered power by reducing transmission congestion –promote capital investment in the enlargement, improvement, maintenance, and operation of transmission facilities –provide a return on equity that attracts new investment in transmission facilities

4 Transmission Incentives Types of Incentives Types of Incentives –Higher Return on Equity usually ranges from basis points usually ranges from basis points –Recovery of CWIP (Construction Work-in- Progress) –Recovery of Abandonment Costs –Advanced Technology Adder

5 Rebuttable Presumption It is assumed that a project qualifies for transmission incentives if it meets one of the following: It is assumed that a project qualifies for transmission incentives if it meets one of the following: –Approved through a Regional Planning Process (e.g. PJM’s RTEP Process) –National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor (NIETC) –Approved by state siting authority

6 Nexus Test Project must demonstrate a nexus between the incentive sought and the investment made Project must demonstrate a nexus between the incentive sought and the investment made The total package of incentives is weighed against the risks, challenges and benefits of project as a whole The total package of incentives is weighed against the risks, challenges and benefits of project as a whole
