ADVICE 3280-E (U 338-E)
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ENERGY DIVISION
SUBJECT: Submittal of Relevant Data for Determination of the Renewables Portfolio Standard Adder Component of the Market Price Benchmark
Southern California Edison Company (SCE) hereby submits data to the Energy Division in compliance with Resolution E-4475.
PURPOSE
SCE herein submits to the Energy Division, for purposes of determining the Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) Adder, data pursuant to Ordering Paragraph 4 of Resolution E-4475. RPS-compliant resource cost data is included in the confidential version of this filing, and redacted in the public version.
BACKGROUND
Decision (D.)11-12-018 resolved Phase III issues in Rulemaking (R.)07-05-025 and addressed modifications to the calculation of the indifference amount, switching rules, financial security requirements for Energy Service Providers (ESPs), and handling of involuntary returns of Direct Access customers to bundled service.
RPS-COMPLIANT RESOURCE DATA Ordering Paragraph 4 of D.11-12-018 required that Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas & Electric Company, and SCE each file a Tier 2 advice letter with the Energy Division within 30 calendar days following the issuance of D.11-12-018, providing the data necessary to revise the Power Charge Indifference Amount (PCIA),
ADVICE 3280-E (U 338-E) - 2 - October 1, 2015
Competition Transition Charge (CTC), and Transitional Bundled Service tariffs, in accordance with the decision. For purposes of the RPS Adder, each Investor-Owned Utility (IOU) was required to provide:
a. most recent 12 months figures derived from United States (US) Department of Energy (DOE) survey of Western US renewable energy premiums in calculating a weighted proxy for the Market Price Benchmark (MPB) compiled by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL); and
b. all RPS-compliant resources that are used to serve IOU customers during the current year (i.e., most recent 12 months) and those projected to serve customers during the next year, including both contracts and IOU-owned resources, including the projected costs together with the net qualifying capacity (NQC) of energy produced by each of these resources (providing relevant costs in dollars and volumes in MWh and qualifying capacity in kW). Confidential data submitted to the Energy Division will be protected from public disclosure.
SCE complied with the data submittal requirement by filing Advice 2688-E on January 6, 2012, which included data for both 2011 and 2012. Resolution E-4475, Ordering Paragraph 4, established that there would be an annual update on October 1 of each year of the RPS-compliant resources and the DOE renewable energy premium. On October 1, 2012, SCE filed Advice 2783-E, which included data for 2012 and forecasted data for 2013, on October 1, 2013, SCE filed Advice 2944-E, which included data for 2013 and forecasted data for 2014, and on October 1, 2014, SCE filed Advice 3111-E, which included data for 2014 and forecasted data for 2015. SCE herein submits the data required in Ordering Paragraph 4 which includes data for 2015 and forecasted data for 2016. DOE Renewable Premium for Voluntary Programs in the Western US Attachment A to this advice letter includes the most current listing of “voluntary” programs compiled by the NREL for the DOE, as posted at: Http://apps3.eere.energy.gov/greenpower/markets/pricing.shtml?page=1. The table includes only those programs offered in Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) member states which provide an identified $/kWh renewable premium. Based on the data provided, SCE determines the DOE renewable energy premium for voluntary programs to be $16.60 per MWh. RPS-Compliant Resource Data Attachment B to this advice letter includes confidential and non-confidential data for specific RPS-compliant resources serving bundled service SCE load. Pursuant to
ADVICE 3280-E (U 338-E) - 3 - October 1, 2015
D.06-07-030, the indifference amount and corresponding PCIA and CTC components are determined annually in the Energy Resource Recovery Account forecast proceedings. For each RPS Adder, SCE first determines the portfolio of renewable generation resources which either: (1) first begin serving bundled service load in the current year, or (2) are forecast to begin serving load in the forecast year. For the 2016 RPS Adder, SCE identifies the portfolio of RPS-compliant generation resources (including utility owned generation resources) which were either providing energy to bundled service customers for the first time in 2015 or are forecast to begin doing so in 2016. For the identified renewable portfolios for 2016, Attachment B includes a listing of each generation resource, the total energy (MWh) to be supplied by each resource in the forecast year, the forecasted cost (M$) of the energy provided by the resource, and the NQC (MW) for each resource. The total energy and forecasted cost data for each resource is redacted in the public version of this advice letter, and SCE seeks confidentiality protection of the data, as described in the Confidentiality Declaration in Attachment C. Resource Adequacy (RA) Capacity Adder The MPB methodology adopted in D.06-07-030 includes a capacity adder of .7 cents per kWh for SCE. D.11-12-018 adopted a proposal by SCE to update the capacity adder component of the MPB based on the most current calculation by the California Energy Commission (CEC) of the going-forward cost of a combustion turbine. Advice 2783-E, Advice 2944-E, and Advice 3111-E all proposed that the RA Capacity Adder be $50.17 based on the going-forward fixed cost components for a small simple cycle merchant plant from the CEC’s “Comparative Costs of California Central Station Electricity Generation - Final Staff Report,” issued January 2010.1 On March 9, 2015, the CEC released the “Estimated Cost of New Renewable and Fossil Generation in California Final Staff Report,” which included an update to the going-forward cost of a combustion turbine. Attachment D to this advice letter includes the Mid Case Component Levelized Cost of Equity for a small simple cycle (Generation Turbine – 49.9 MW) merchant plant from the report. Based on the data provided, SCE calculates an RA Capacity Adder of $58.27 per kW-year.2 TIER DESIGNATION
Pursuant to Resolution E-4475, this advice letter is submitted with a Tier 1 designation.
This advice filing will become effective on October 1, 2015, the date of filing.
