6 New York s peakers are problematic 12,500 MWs of fossil-based plants with capacity factors <10% New York has 9.3 GW of gas/oil plants, 1.7 GW of oil, and 1.5 GW of gas peakers with capacity factors of under 10%. The majority of these are in urban areas and are nearing retirement age. Battery Storage projects can help reduce the need for many of these fossil fuel peakers, leading to better environmental and economic metrics for the state. Smaller Energy Limited Resources (ELRs) need to come online to prove value in 4+ hour systems. KCE Analysis using 2014 EPA Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database 6

7 Environmental benefits GHG emission reductions are not priced into market On a GHG emission/mwh basis, low capacity factor fossil peakers have significantly higher GHG emissions compared to higher capacity factor plants. Grey points in the upper plots indicate U.S. gas/oil plants (the plots are vertically scaled to capture 95% of these). Red circles highlight New York plants, and are sized in proportion to nameplate capacity. Dotted vertical lines indicate the capacity factor cut-off of 10% This is because: Efficiency at which a generator converts fuel into electricity decreases with decreasing load Pollution control systems don t run during start-up (as they need temperatures higher than 575 degrees to function) Environmental Benefits of energy storage need to be realized.

8 Working within the NY framework Energy Storage Providers need to participate in the conversation Wholesale Markets Participation from industry is required in the NYISO Market Issues Working Group Energy Storage Resource Definition and Parameters State of Charge Management for all battery durations Intra-hour trading for ancillary and energy services, allowing for negative generation Alternative revenue sources for Limited Energy Storage Resources (opportunity costs) Contracted Markets Short-term opportunities need to be expanded to consider energy storage Future NYSERDA Tier 1 Solicitations Value of Distributed Energy Resources (VDER) fast track storage VDER Eligibility for Market Transformation Credit NYSERDA Grants for 2018 utility-scale projects Energy Storage Targets Environmental Markets Needs to be quantified and analyzed to allow for quicker access to market May emerge from New York energy storage study Methodology needs to be developed for different energy storage use cases and appropriate valuation needs to be given Needs to ensure that receiving environmental credit does not preclude wholesale market participation 8
