2 Topics Building Reliability Expanding Responsibilities Emerging Challenges

3 July 2010 Record Month In the month of July, New Yorkers consumed 17,312 GWh of electricity -- the highest monthly usage on record On July 6, New York reached its third highest h recorded peak load 33,452 MW

4 Resource Availability 44,000 42,000 43,001 MW Maximum Available Resources 40,000 38,000 36,000 38,105 MW In-State Generation Resources 38,970 MW Total Resource Requirement 5,945 MW 18% Installed Reserve Margin 34,000 32,000 July 6 Peak (33,452 MW) 33,025 MW 2010 Forecast Peak SOURCE: 2010 Load and Capacity Data Report - New York Independent System Operator

5 Building Reliability Since 2000, New York has added: Over 7,800 MW of new generation capacity Nearly 1,300 MW of new transmission capability Nearly 2,400 MW in demand response programs

6 Expanding Responsibilities NYISO Responsibilities Expanding

7 Emerging Challenges Reliability Needs Renewable Integration Smart Grid Regional Collaboration

8 2010 RNA Findings New York power resources are expected to meet the state s electricity reliability needs through 2020 Includes generation, transmission i and demand response resources Assumes energy efficiency programs and planned resource additions proceed as scheduled Assumes no significant facilities are retired from service

9 Risk Scenarios Indian Point nuclear power project retirement scenario showed reliability violations in 2016 if both units retired when their current licenses expire e Impacts would include loss of power supply and transmission voltage support affecting the metropolitan New York region

10 Risk Scenarios Impact of proposed environmental regulations -- including control technology for nitrogen oxides (NOx), as well as a proposed policy requiring power plants to utilize closed cycle cooling -- could result in unplanned plant retirements that may impact reliability

11 Renewable Integration NYISO renewable resource integration initiatives Implemented state-of-the-art centralized wind forecasting First ISO/RTO to integrate wind in economic dispatch Initiated first-of-its-kind energy storage market design

12 Planning for More Wind NYISO studied the impact of up to 8000 MW of wind resources a five-fold increase

13 Congestion Planning NYISO CARIS process identified major congested routes in New York Control Area Base Case Congestion (Present Value in 2009 $ m) Congestion: $230 m Congestion: $567 m Congestion: $1307 m

14 Transmission Expansion State Transmission Assessment and Reliability Study (STARS) New York Transmission Owner program Transmission i Owners Merchant

15 Broader Regional Markets Estimated annual production cost savings: $362 million throughout region $193 million associated with NY

16 Interregional Planning Eastern Interconnection Planning Collaborative 25 Planning Authorities in U.S. and Canada representing 95% of Eastern Interconnection U.S.DOE awarded $16M in funding for the EIPC and $14M to the related EISPC

17 NYISO Smart Grid Vision In the NYS PSC Smart Grid Proceeding, the NYISO submitted comments focus on the need for Smart Grid to: Lower costs and expand consumers understanding and control of their electricity use Enhance the reliability and efficiency of the power system by improving grid operators situational awareness and control Assist the growth of renewable resources and complementary energy storage resources

18 NYISO SGIG Project Smart Grid Investment Grant (SGIG) Three-Year project -- $75.7 Million DOE funding -- $37.4 Million to cover 50% of project cost Project components Creation of a statewide Phasor Measurement Network Installation of Capacitor Banks throughout the state Enhanced reliability PMU Installation one of key DOE recommendations from 2003 blackout study endorsed by FERC and NERC

19 NYISO Focus Sustaining i and enhancing reliability Bolstering open and competitive markets Planning a smarter, greener, and more efficient grid

20 The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) is a not-for-profit corporation responsible for operating the state ss bulk electricity grid, administering New York s competitive wholesale electricity markets, conducting comprehensive long-term planning for the state s t electric power system, and advancing the technological infrastructure of the electric system serving the Empire State.
