CPP Overview

  • The final rule extended compliance to

2022 from 2020

  • Increased total reduction from 30% to

32% of 2005 levels

  • Envisions Significant Increase in Renewables and Energy

Efficiency – Clean Energy Incentive Plan

  • Trading is projected by EPA to be a large mitigating factor for

attainment of compliance goals

Reliability Provisions

  • States required to demonstrate its

consideration of reliability

  • Mechanism for states to seek a revision to its

plan for unanticipated and significant reliability challenges

  • Reliability safety valve to address unanticipated
  • r other extraordinary circumstances

RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY 21

Need for Transmission

High levels of variable generation will require significant transmission additions and reinforcements.

  • Interconnect variable

energy resources in remote areas

  • Smooth the variable

generation output across a broad geographical region

  • Deliver ramping capability

and ancillary services

  • Construct/site/permit

transmission to deliver power across long distances

Legend Demand Centers High Wind Availability

slide-22

RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY 22

  • “Building blocks” of physical capabilities
  • Accentuated by resource changes
  • Not all MWs are equal
  • Some partly covered through ancillary services
  • Inherently provided by

synchronous/conventional generation, but can be synthetically provided by DR, batteries, and inverters

Proactively Resolve Reliability Concerns

As an electric system approaches a significant penetration in variable resources:

  • Essential reliability services will be strained
  • Technical aspects of the evolving resource mix must be given due

consideration at state, federal, and provincial level

  • Solution sets for maintaining reliability can come from:
  • Market tools and rules
  • New technology integration
  • Standards or requirements
  • Unresolved cost implications can impede solutions from materializing
slide-25
SLIDE 25

RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY 25

  • Address roles and responsibilities of planning agencies and

reliability authorities

  • NERC Planning Coordinators and Transmission Planners
  • Maintain adequate Essential Reliability Services
  • Needed for the reliability operation of the Bulk-Power System
  • Address future characteristics of resources
  • Cycling, availability, environmentally constrained dispatch, etc
  • Early identification of additional infrastructure needs for natural

gas transportation and assurance

  • Identify changes to Reserve Margins needed for supply adequacy

Recommendations and Guidance to State Plan Developers

slide-26
SLIDE 26

RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY 26

  • Emphasize implications of the reliability assurance provisions
  • Lessons learned from other systems that have experienced

significant resource shifts (e.g., Ontario)

  • Address implications of increased distributed resources and

control challenges

  • Discuss potential options for solutions, including technologies

that can support reliability Recommendations and Guidance to State Plan Developers

  • Distributed energy

resources (DERs) are contributing to changing characteristics and control strategies in grid

  • perations.
  • NERC has established a

task force focused on examination of reliability impacts of large amounts

  • f DER on the BPS.

Remaining Uncertainties

  • What will the Federal Plan look like?
  • Mass versus Rate
  • Parallels to previous regulations?
  • Uncertainty with neighboring state plans and available transfers
  • Energy efficiency expectations
  • Timing and location of retirements
  • Robustness of trading
  • Legal impediments
  • Transmission-level impacts
  • Market sensitive information sharing
slide-31
SLIDE 31

RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY 31

  • Profound changes occurring on the BPS—resources and policies
  • Lots of uncertainty in the future
  • nuclear, carbon, natural gas, climate trends, transmission
  • New system behaviors and characteristics require new

measurements for reliability

  • Emerging reliability issues bring new technical (and political)

challenges

  • Must carefully balance costs and benefits
  • Changes occurring irrespective of CPP
  • NERC is well positioned to study, evaluate, and assess the

reliability of the Bulk Power System Closing Remarks
