ENERGY EFFICIENCY COST EFFECTIVENESS DETERMINATION DETERMINATION

PNUCC SYSTEM PLANNING COMMITTEE JULY 15, 2016

TACOMA POWER

• Municipal owned utility formed in 1893
• Tacoma is Washington state’s third largest city
• Power supplied from clean, low‐cost,

hydropower since 1912

• Energy efficiency (EE) is Tacoma’s new energy

resource choice

• Defers the need to acquire costly new supply
• Defers the need to acquire costly new supply

resources

• EE provides direct benefits to customers, helps support the

EE provides direct benefits to customers, helps support the local economy, and is an environmentally friendly resource

• Acquired 57 aMW of EE since 2007

A HISTORY OF EE ACQUISITION SUCCESS

COST EFFECTIVENESS REQUIREMENT

RCW 80.52.030(7) “Cost‐effective” means that a project or resource is forecast: (a) To be reliable and available within the time it is needed; and (b) To meet or reduce the electric power demand of needed; and (b) To meet or reduce the electric power demand of the intended consumers at an estimated incremental system cost no greater than that of the least‐cost similarly reliable and available project or resource or any combination thereof project or resource, or any combination thereof. The Energy Independence Act

• Each qualifying utility shall pursue all available conservation that is

cost‐effective, reliable, and feasible.

• requires qualifying utilities determine their conservation potential
• requires qualifying utilities determine their conservation potential

using “methodologies consistent with the Pacific Northwest Electric Power and conservation planning council” (19.285.040(1)(a) RCW)

SUMMARY OF 2015 IRP

2016‐2035 CPA

• Avoided cost based on the wholesale

market price forecast

• Included avoided cost adders for:
• 10% preference for conservation (Energy only)
• 10% preference for conservation (Energy only)
• Gas risk adder ($2.42 ‐ $5.27/MWh)
• T&D capital improvement deferral ($1.74 / MWh)

p p ( )

• Avoided REC purchases for I‐937 compliance ($0.54‐$1.26/MWh)
• Carbon emission premium(assumptions included in wholesale price)

Achievable economic potential: 10 yr = 46.8 aMW, 20 yr = 78.7 aMW

T&D Benefit Adder 10% for Conservation

WHAT COULD CHANGE IN THE 2017 IRP?

• Retail load forecast and estimates of Load Resource Balance
• What is the applicable avoided cost?

What is the applicable avoided cost?

• Avoided cost adders
• Value of capacity
• Another look at carbon emission policy
• Expanding the application of the 10% conservation preference to capacity

and T&D benefits

• Re‐examine T&D benefits using engineering data
• Updates to the discount rate(2.7% to 3.0%) and inflation rate

(1% to 2%)
