How How much wind potential much wind potential does the SPP does the SPP region region have? have? The SPP region has huge wind potential. In Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and the Texas panhandle, there is enough high-capacity wind to potentially add there is enough high-capacity wind to potentially add over 40,000 megawatts to the electric grid. By comparison, our record demand for electricity set in 2007 was just over 43,000 megawatts. SPP has 1,800 megawatts of wind in service, with approximately 30,000 megawatts proposed and under study. To connect large volumes of new wind energy to the electric grid more transmission must be constructed electric grid, more transmission must be constructed to carry the energy to where the demand is. SPP is studying how a “transmission superhighway” of extra high voltage lines would enable us to connect tens of thousands of renewable megawatts into the electric h d f bl i h l i grid.

� Until Recently policies in SPP regarding t transmission for wind inhibited the i i f i d i hibit d th development of the resource. ◦ Reliability upgrades made it very difficult for transmission construction for wind generation to qualify for the regional cost sharing formula qualify for the regional cost sharing formula. ◦ Economic upgrades were cost causer pays-very little incentive for the transmission to be built when little incentive for the transmission to be built when benefits accrued to others not paying for the project. 26

� New proposals approved by SPP help more wind projects to have needed transmission. � Higher voltage economic projects in a Hi h l i j i balanced portfolio that qualify will have costs allocated on a regional basis allocated on a regional basis. � EHV planning anticipates the integration of � EHV planning anticipates the integration of significant amounts of wind generation. 27

� SPP is moving forward with a study that would allow the transmission of electricity ld ll th t i i f l t i it generated from the vast wind energy resources in the plains territory for use inside p y of SPP and for sale to other regions. � An electric high voltage backbone built in the A l t i hi h lt b kb b ilt i th SPP region coupled with enhancements to the grid in other regions would transform the g g area into a major renewable energy producer for America. 29
