Non-Wires Options Across Ontario Ottawa LAC Meeting #6 October 26, - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation
Non-Wires Options Across Ontario Ottawa LAC Meeting #6 October 26, 2016 Objectives and Outline 1) Provide an overview of Ontarios experience with distributed resources to date 2) Describe how distributed resources may provide value through
2
– LDCs have developed plans to implement aggressive conservation targets as part of the province’s Conservation First Framework – Approximately 9,000 MW of non-hydro renewable generation has been contracted – The IESO has contracted about 50 MW of energy storage projects – Hydroelectric generation facilities have been refurbished and expanded (e.g. Chaudiere Falls) – The IESO secured approximately 300 MW of demand response (DR) in the first DR auction, held in late 2015
3
– System value is uniform across the province based on provincial demand projections and supply planning
– These needs may be addressed with wires or non-wires options
– Capacity (MW) to supply the local or provincial peak hours, short-term or long-term – Energy (MWh) to supply customers 8760 hours per year, – Ancillary services (voltage support, or operational responsiveness), – Increased resilience for customer or local area, – Lower emissions relative to alternatives

The IESO is part of a Working Group which is reviewing a comprehensive issues list. Details are available on the Energy Board website.

– Pilot is intended to help the IESO and LDCs test the use of DR to assist with local capacity needs – Builds on IESO’s successful province-wide DR auction held in late 2015
– These resources will also provide interim capacity, if required, until long-term capacity provided by transmission reinforcements are in place in 2019
8
– Draft RFP has been posted and Draft Agreement to be posted by October 31st and Final RFP & Agreement to be posted December 1st, 2016 – Submission window for proposals will close January 13th, 2017
9
– Studying market potential – Forecasting costs for deployment – Forecasting monetization of customer and system value based on expected performance levels – Studying economic feasibility – Addressing business model road blocks
10
– Reduced exposure to peak electricity rates – Ability to manage electricity costs and lower bills – Outage protection due to on-site generation and storage
– Supported by the IESO’s Conservation Fund, as well as the LDC
11
– Building on the IESO’s 2016 Conservation Achievable Potential study – Currently working to develop studies for Toronto, Barrie-Innisfil, and Parry Sound-Muskoka regions – Studies will determine the potential and associated costs for targeting conservation efforts to specific stations, etc., to address local area needs – LDCs will lead studies and apply to the IESO Conservation Fund for funding
12
– No IESO contract required – LDCs will continue to play a key role in facilitating connections – Customer participation will depend on economics
