WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD This item begins the process for preparation of the FY14 & FY15 budget. 2. HISTORY In 2008 and 2009, the District started a diverse purchase power portfolio that now includes many different resources and had the goal of meeting the Renewable Portfolio Standard with conservation as a first resource. In 2010 and 2011 additional goals were to provide an adequate, reliable and high quality electric supply to meet the current and future needs of the District. According to Title 3, Section 3.02.010 of the District Code, the General Manager shall submit to the Board of Directors a two year draft budget. The Purchase Power Plan is a part of the FY14 & FY15 draft budget. 3. NEW INFORMATION The 2014 and 2015 Purchase Power Plan continues with the goals of the 2012 and 2013 Plan. The District will maintain a more diversified purchase power portfolio that includes many different resources and has the goals of meeting the Renewable Portfolio Standard. The District adopted its "Procurement Plan" to implement SBx1 2, 33% RPS by 2020. The 2014 Purchase Power Plan projects a similar load compared to 2013 with energy conservation and energy efficiency measures accounting for 1 % to 3% of the load. Greater conservation has, and will continue to reduce future market purchases. The 2015 Plan projects a flat or same load as 2014 with conservation and energy efficiency measures again accounting for 1 % to 3% of the load reduction. The 2014 has a modest growth rate compared to 2015. The budgeted load in MWh is shown below: Year Budgeted MWh 2013 163,082 2014 164,713 2015 164,729 The Purchase Power Plan expenditures and various resources are included as Attachment 1. The resource mix shown is as follows: FY14 Resource Type % % Renewables Payson - Natural Gas 11.9% 5 Year Market Purchase 41.8% UAMPS Pool 3.3% Fallon Exchange for Stampede -2.7% Renewables 45.7% Wind Pleasant Valley 0.4% Small Hydro - Stampede Dam 7.5% Wind - Horse Butte 25.5% Land fill Gas - Trans Jordan 12.3% FY15 Resource Type % % Renewables Payson - Natural Gas 11.9% 5 Year Market Purchase 41.8% UAMPS Pool 3.3% Fallon Exchange for Stampede -2.7% Renewables 45.7% Wind Pleasant Valley 0.4% Small Hydro - Stampede Dam 7.5% Wind - Horse Butte 25.5% Land fill Gas - Trans Jordan 12.3% Possible Future Resources: The District's 5-Year market purchase ends in April 2017. The District is looking at replacing a portion of this resource with carbon free resources. The Waste Heat generation from Kern River natural gas compressor station is scheduled to come online in FY16. The District is interested in a little more than 1 MW of this carbon free resource. A carbon free resource will enhance our Cap and Trade allocation. Change in RPS Calculation per CEC: The percentage shown in the resource mix table and graphs are based on the entire amount of resource purchased. The CEC definition of RPS uses a different denominator that will increase our RPS however the District does not receive 100% of the Stampede Dam REC's that will lower the percent RPS. This will be discussed in a workshop September 18, 2013. California Air Resources Board (CARB) Cap and Trade The CARB has started their Cap and Trade auctions in 2013. Section 95892(d)(3) of the regulation states the following: "Auction proceeds and allowance value obtained by the electric distribution utility shall be used exclusively for the benefit of the retail ratepayers of each distribution utility, consistent with the goals of AB32, and may not be used for the benefit of entities or persons other than such ratepayers." Board decided to use the auction proceeds to offset the price of renewable therefore meeting the goals of AB32. Four auctions have been held in 2013. below are the results: Settlement Price ($/Allowance) TDPUD Revenue from Sale of Allowances $10.09 (Auction 1) $242,160 $13.62 (Auction 2) $204,300 $14.00 (Auction 3) $210,000 $12.22 (Auction 4) $206,102 (to be used in 2014) Total $ $862,562 In FY14, $862,562 has been budgeted as revenue to help pay for renewable resources and in FY15, $860,000 has been budgeted in the same manner. 4. FISCAL IMPACT There is no direct fiscal impact at this time. The final Purchase Power Plan will become part of the draft budget for FY14 & FY15. 5.
