FFCRA Requirements

Two weeks (up to 80 hours) of paid sick leave at the employee’s regular rate of pay where the employee is unable to work because the employee is quarantined (pursuant to Federal, State, or local government order or advice of a health care provider), and/or experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and seeking a medical diagnosis.

slide-3
SLIDE 3

FFCRA Requirements

Two weeks (up to 80 hours) of paid sick leave at two- thirds the employee’s regular rate of pay because the employee is unable to work because of a bona fide need to care for an individual subject to quarantine or care for a child (under 18 years of age) whose school or child care provider is closed or unavailable for reasons related to COVID-19.

slide-4
SLIDE 4

FFCRA Requirements

Up to an additional 10 weeks of paid expanded family and medical leave at two-thirds the employee’s regular rate of pay where an employee is unable to work due to a bona fide need for leave to care for a child whose school

  • r child care provider is closed or unavailable for reasons

related to COVID-19.

slide-5
SLIDE 5

FFCRA Requirements

In event employee needs additional time beyond what is offered by Emergency Sick

Leave as identified by the FFCRA to recover (become fit for duty), the entire leave will be covered by Paid Administrative Leave. This leave would be above what employees accrue annually as part of their Personal Leave (PL) or the benefits that they would receive under Short Term Disability.

 The PUD wants to remove any incentive for employees to not report symptoms or illness during this pandemic. This is important not only for the individual’s health, but also the health of coworkers.  By mitigating this risk of exposure, the PUD can help control costs that would be associated with multiple exposures by an employee not reporting or self- identifying symptoms or illness.

Overview of Carbon Calculation

Wholesale Power Supply April 28, 2020

slide-7
SLIDE 7

End Goal of Carbon Content Estimate

  • Our retail customers have requested a timely estimate of the carbon

content associated with their electricity consumption.

  • Provide that estimate within 60 days of year end
  • Be able to differentiate carbon content between Core Customers,

Non-Core Customers, and Customers that purchase Rate Schedule 13 Specified Source.

slide-8
SLIDE 8

Highlights from Memo

1. Grant may sell its physical share and the associated attributes of Priest Rapids and Wanapum generation through Pooling and/or Slice contracts. 2. The power purchased back to serve load through the Pooling and/or Slice contracts is considered unspecified source unless specifically deemed otherwise. 3. Market purchases to serve load will be considered unspecified source unless specifically deemed otherwise. 4. The power purchased to serve load under Rate Schedule 13SS is non-emitting and will be separately disclosed. 5. The assumption that any Grant specific or declared sources available, including but not limited to Wanapum, Priest, PEC, Quincy Chute, Nine Canyon (as appropriate) and zero carbon emission purchases, are used first to serve retail customers. 6. The District will use the most current information available to estimate the carbon content of generation for specified and unspecified sources. Priority will be given to relevant information produced by the State of Washington. 7. Consistent with Commission Resolution 8768, Grant PUD’s Core Customers are given preference in receiving the low carbon benefits from hydro resources.

slide-9
SLIDE 9

Stepping through the Calculation

  • 1. Grant’s Fuel Mix Report Results for entire load are provided by the

Washington State Department of Commerce (column C)

  • 2. Grant inputs the carbon content associated with the aggregate

Washington State Fuel Mix (column S)

  • 3. The carbon content for all loads for 2018 was .117 Metric Tons per MWh
slide-10
SLIDE 10

Stepping through the Calculation

  • 1. Core Customers are allocated all Hydro Generation net of

amount used to serve Rate Schedule 13 Specified Source

  • 2. They are allocated all other resources (Natural Gas,

Nuclear, Wind and Unspecified source) based on their pro rata share of total load.

  • 3. The results for 2018 Core Customers was a Carbon

Content of .076 Metric Tons/MWh

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Stepping through the Calculation

1. Non-Core Customers that do not Purchase Rate Schedule 13 Specified source do not receive any benefit from the Hydro Generation for 2018. 2. They are allocated all other resources (Natural Gas, Nuclear, Wind and Unspecified source) based on their pro rata share of total load. 3. The results for 2018 Non-Core Customers that did not purchase Rate Schedule 13 S.S. was a Carbon Content of .184 Metric Tons/MWh

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Stepping through the Calculation

  • 1. Non-Core Customers that Purchase Rate Schedule 13

Specified source receive benefit from the Hydro Generation up to amount purchased.

  • 2. They are allocated all other resources (Natural Gas, Nuclear,

Wind and Unspecified source) based on their pro rata share

  • f total load.
  • 3. The results for 2018 was a Carbon Content of .060 Metric

Tons/MWh for Microsoft in this example.

Close Calls

Date Location Description

3-4-2020 WD Employee was using step ladder and misjudged bottom step causing them to stumble to the floor without injury. 3-4-2020 Spokane, Avista Parking Lot After doing a 360 and making sure everyone had seat belts on, I backed up Vehicle #466 to get out of the parking lot. I was watching both side mirrors and trying to use the small in-dash rear-camera display. I removed my focus from backing up to viewing the display and gently tapped the bumper of the truck that was parked across the lane behind

  • me. There was zero damage on the Truck and there did not appear to be any damage on the Grant PUD vehicle.

3-10-2020 EHQ A Senior System Operator and System Operator Trainee gave a Grant PUD lineman an order to place a breaker on non- reclose and install a Hotline Hold protection tag. In the interim, they were handling other Dispatch activities. Prior to the breaker being placed in non-reclose and the tag being installed, a Hotline Hold was issued to a Contractor lineman. Four minutes later the Grant PUD lineman reported that the breaker was in non-reclose and the tag was hung. At that time, they realized a Hotline Hold was issued for four minutes with the breaker still in automatic and the contractor believed it was in non-reclose. 3-26-2020 Blue Lake Area Fiber Inspector doing fiber inspections mistakenly opened electrical vault/box that looked exactly like a fiber box. Only notable difference was there wasn't a fiber emblem on top. Lid was immediately closed and secured.

TO: Kevin Nordt, General Manager VIA: Dave Churchman, Chief Customer Officer FROM: Shaun Harrington, Sr. Data Analyst Bob Brill, Economist SUBJECT: 2020 Q1 Retail Load and Revenue Variance Purpose: To review the 2020 Q1 variance of actual retail load and revenue from the budgeted retail load and revenue. Background: This memo discusses the variance for the retail load and revenue and estimates the impact to wholesale revenue resulting from the variance in retail sales. Summary:  Retail Load

  • Variance of (131,777) MWh / (60) aMW was approximately 10% below the projected load in Q1.
  • Delayed loads in the Industrial sector accounted for over half of the load forecast

variation.

  • Large Commercial and Evolving Industry loads were higher than anticipated.

 Retail Revenue

  • Variance of $(3,919,406) was approximately 7% below the budgeted retail revenue for Q1.

Description:  Retail Load

  • 2020 Q1: Budget, Actual, and Variance in retail load (Appendix - Table A)
  • Large Commercial and Evolving Industry loads were greater than expected.
  • Residential, Commercial, Street Lights, Public Authorities, Industrial, Large Industrial, and

Ag Food Processors loads were all less than expected.  Retail Revenue

  • 2020 Q1: Budget, Actual, and Variance in retail revenue (Appendix - Table B)
  • Large Commercial, Evolving Industry, and Public Authorities had revenues greater than

expected.

  • Residential, Commercial, Street Lights, Industrial, Large Industrial, Ag Food Processors,

and New Large Load had revenues less than expected. Analysis: This discussion will detail the reasons for the variances in both the retail load and revenue. See Tables A (load) and B (revenues) in the Appendix.  Retail Load Variance

  • Residential (1) & Commercial (2) for Q1, 2020 were 7.0% and 10.9% respectively, below forecast.

The two primary factors were weather and COVID. Commercial loads in March were 17% below forecast but it is too early to precisely determine the near term impact of COVID on Commercial

  • loads. We expect load to recover over time as COVID restrictions are reduced and will continue

to monitor and evaluate COVID impacts as the situation progresses.  Weather

  • A warm January (9% above normal) resulted in lower January loads than

forecasted.

  • Very low humidity levels (20% below normal) are believed to have caused

higher February loads.

  • The specific correlation between humidity and load are not

currently available, but we have determined there is an interaction between these two variables.

  • For March, Residential load was 13% below the budget forecast

hypothesized to be due to sunnier weather (13% above normal) and less volatile temperatures (9% below normal volatility).

  • For Q1 2020, 4.5% of the 7% (or approximately 65%) load variance for

residential customers is estimated to be explained by weather.

  • For Q1, 2020, 2.3% of the 11% (or approximately 20%) load variance for

commercial customers is estimated to be explained by weather.  Economy

  • For March, Commercial load was 17% below the budget forecast likely due

to the COVID-19 virus statewide stay-at-home order.

  • Large Commercial (7) loads for Q1, 2020 were 4.7% above forecast for Q1, 2020.
  • The increase to Rate Schedule 7 was influenced by:

 A smaller Rate Schedule 14 customer was moved into Rate Schedule 7 in

  • November. This will result in an increase RS7 loads and decrease in RS14 for the

rest of the year.

  • Load was 2.6% below the budget forecast for March.

SLIDE 75

3

  • Industrial (14) & Large Industrial (15) loads were 23.3% and 8.4% respectively, below forecast.
  • Data Center loads were down 11% in the quarter due to:

 Three data center constructions that were expected to start ramping up their load this quarter have not begun and are not expected to begin until 2021 or beyond.  Two other customer construction projects are behind schedule resulting in lower loads than expected.

  • Manufacturing was below forecast by 11% on the quarter and down 16% in March.

 A customer in Moses Lake has shut down due to COVID-19 impacts.  Decreased demand for the output of one manufacturer has caused a decrease in load.

  • Ag Food Processors (16) were 6.1% below forecast in Q1, 2020
  • Potato Processors were 7% below the budget forecast.
  • Non-potato Food Processors were within 1% of the budget.
  • Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associative governmental measures are expected to

decrease futures loads. The magnitude of these reductions is not fully known, but we are working to identify the expected impacts to Grant County PUD loads.  Retail Revenue Variance

  • Rate Schedule 94: New Large Load
  • Lower market prices resulted in lower revenues through RS94.

 Wholesale Prices Wholesale Electricity Prices
