3 What s driving change? Major disruption occurring in electricity sector Decentralization Digitization Decarbonization Distributed generation (Rooftop solar) Energy storage Microgrids Smart Meters & Appliances Retail rate alternatives Increased renewables Carbon taxes Electric vehicles Air source heat pumps Exiting merchant market Wholesale/Retail Integration Generator retirements New electricity products Disruption Wholesale market impacts Business model changes 3 3

4 What s driving change? Three Ds and New England s Electricity Market Decarbonization RGGI IMAPP Air Source Heat Pumps Electric Vehicles Rooftop Solar DER Net Metering Energy Efficiency Grid Mod Micro Grids Energy Storage Demand Response Digitalization Font size indicates importance Bold indicates growing importance Decentralization 4 4

5 Impact on Electricity Demand Net electricity demand is declining New England states are leaders in DSM Rooftop PV growth reducing net demand EVs & Heat pumps offset? Summer Peak Demand With and Without EE and PV Savings Source: Power Advisory, ISO-NE CELT 2017 BTM PV = Behind the Meter PV; EE = Energy Efficiency 5 - BTM PV - BTM PV & EE MW Savings

6 Regional Resource Mix Significant non-gas generation resources retiring or at risk Reflecting this market disruption and low natural gas prices: Nuclear and coal-fired units retiring, further increasing reliance on gas units 5,500 MW of older generating units at risk of retiring Generation at risk Closed or retiring *Bridgeport Unit 2 closed, Unit 3 at risk 6 Source: Power Advisory, ISO-NE

7 New England Clean Energy Requirements New England states have aggressive GHG emission reduction targets New England states agreed to cut CO 2 emissions as much as 45% below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80% below by 2050 MA and CT, account for 70% of electricity requirements, GHG emission reductions supported by legislation Achieving these GHG emission reduction targets require increasing volumes of clean energy over time 7 Source: ISO-NE

8 New England Clean Energy Requirements Regional emission reductions rely heavily on electricity sector Total Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sector Total regional emissions dropped by 13% between 2000 and Electric power sector GHG emissions decreased 24% Fuel-switching from coal to natural gas lead these emission reductions, along with incremental clean energy resources and increased energy efficiency Electrification of other sectors: space heating & transportation primary decarbonization strategies 8 Source: EPA

9 New England Clean Energy Requirements New England has relied on RPS as the primary tool to promote renewables development State Wind Solar Fuel Cells Geothermal Landfill Gas Anaerobic Digestion Marine Hydro Biomass Incremental Class I Demand (TWh) Connecticut Certain run-ofthe-river Low emission 1.8 Maine.2 Massachusetts (Built after 12/31/97) Using renewables New, <30 MW, meet environmental regulations Low emission 4.2 New Hampshire (Built after 1/1/06) If not used for Class II Post 12/31/12 New incremental production of existing Limited.8 Rhode Island Using renewables <30 MW Limited.9 Vermont Certified.2 Total All All* Most All* Most Few All Varies Varies 8 New England states need additional 8 TWh per year by 2025 to meet current statutory Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) 9

10 New England Clean Energy Requirements Transmission queue indicative of development On-shore wind in Maine accounts for 56% of the renewables in ISO- NE Interconnection Queue Second largest source is Mass offshore wind generation 8,457 MW of Solar & Wind in ISO-NE Queue Source: Power Advisory, ISO- NE Data March

11 New England Clean Energy Requirements Wind exports from Maine must cross three transmission interfaces Primary transmission path for Maine 345 kv transmission backbone Also transfers power from New Brunswick to Southern New England Majority of wind development in Maine located in northeast and must cross all three interfaces to deliver to Southern New England Each interface is progressively higher loaded HVDC transmission: a better alternative?
