Overview

  • Summary of NC Transmission Planning

Collaborative

  • Implementation Status

Traditional Transmission Planning Process

  • Transmission plans developed independently

by each IOU for their own control areas

  • Limited involvement from munis, co-ops and
  • ther transmission-dependent utilities
  • Emphasis on reliability
slide-4
SLIDE 4

Goals of the Process

  • Improve the transmission planning

process in North Carolina

  • Increase involvement by all

stakeholders

SLIDE 5

Changes to the Planning Process

  • Each Participant will actively participate
  • The Transmission Advisory Group (TAG) will allow participation

by all stakeholders

  • Collaborative development of a single transmission plan for Duke

Power and Progress Energy Carolinas areas

  • An Independent Third Party will be an integral part of

the process and a “tie-breaker” for voting

  • Simultaneous focus on reliability and enhanced access

Organizational Structure

  • Oversight / Steering Committee (OSC)
  • Planning Working Group (PWG)
  • Transmission Advisory Group (TAG)
  • Independent Third Party (ITP)

OSC Responsibilities

  • Review and approve the reliability and

enhanced transmission access planning criteria, critical assumptions and scenarios to be used by the PWG

  • Oversee the study process and approve the

plan

Transmission Advisory Group

  • The purpose of the TAG is to provide advice

and recommendations to the OSC which will aid in the development of a coordinated transmission plan

  • The TAG will be facilitated by the ITP
  • Membership open to all stakeholders
slide-12
SLIDE 12

Independent Third Party Role

  • Serves on the OSC and PWG and will

vote to break a tie in the OSC

  • Facilitates and advises the entire

process

Where are we in the process?

  • The Participation Agreement was

executed on May 20, 2005

  • Gestalt LLC was selected as the ITP in

August 2005

  • Top Priorities

–Establish TAG –Implement new collaborative process

Overview

  • Goal of Process
  • Components of Process

– Reliability Process – Enhanced Transmission Access Process

  • Schedule Milestones
slide-16
SLIDE 16

16

Goal of the Process

Develop a single coordinated transmission plan that includes both reliability and enhanced access plans and that appropriately balances costs, benefits and risks associated with the use of transmission and generation resources.

slide-17
SLIDE 17

17

Components of the Process

  • Reliability Process
  • Enhanced Transmission Access

Process

slide-18
SLIDE 18

18

Reliability Plan

  • Improvements justified for reliability

purposes

  • Developed by PWG and approved by

OSC

slide-19
SLIDE 19

19

Enhanced Transmission Access Plan

  • Expand the transmission planning process to include

analysis of increased transmission capability to provide greater access to resources inside and outside the control areas of Duke and Progress.

  • PWG develops increased transmission capabilities,

cost estimates, implementation timelines and project feasibility.

– Establish assumptions, criteria, and study methodologies – Perform studies: thermal, voltage, stability, short circuit – Evaluate results to identify problems and potential solutions – Perform cost analysis and rough scheduling of solutions – Input from Participants and TAG periodically throughout process – Select preferred final and alternative plans

Reliability Planning Process

slide-21
SLIDE 21

– Identify scenarios to be studied and included for analysis – Establish assumptions and criteria – Evaluate results to identify problems and potential solutions for increasing access – PWG develops increased transmission capabilities, cost estimates, implementation timelines and project feasibility

Schedule Milestones – December 2005: OSC approves reliability assumptions – May 2006: OSC approves enhanced transmission access assumptions and studies to be conducted – September 2006: OSC approves reliability plan and reviews enhanced transmission access project cost, schedule, and potential increased transmission capability – December 2006: Final draft of collaborative plan

TAG Purpose

The purpose of the TAG is to provide advice and recommendations to the OSC which will aid in the development of a collaborative transmission plan.

slide-26
SLIDE 26

26

TAG Role

  • The TAG will provide input to the planning

process.

  • Inputs may include:

– Proposing reliability studies/projects to the OSC – Proposing enhanced access studies/projects to the OSC – Providing generator information to the process

TAG Membership

TAG membership is open to all parties interested in the development of a collaborative transmission plan in North Carolina.

slide-28
SLIDE 28

TAG Process

  • Meetings are open to all parties with no

restrictions on the number of people from any

  • rganization.
  • Members will make recommendations for

improvements or changes to the transmission plan or planning process through the ITP.

  • Non-binding straw votes may be used to

achieve consensus. One vote per stakeholder entity.

  • Quorum requirements do not apply.
  • Meeting highlights will be posted on website.

Duties of the ITP include:

– Chairing the TAG meetings

– Developing mechanisms to solicit and

  • btain the input of all stakeholders

– Serving as a facilitator to achieve consensus – Developing and maintaining a website to support TAG activities
