4 Overview - An IEP What is an Integrated Electricity Plan? A long-term plan that describes how BC Hydro will meet its customers demand for electricity Includes new resources/ demand side management/ transmission 20 Year Plan Re-evaluated every 2 years Meet customer electricity needs while factoring in financial, social and environmental impacts Page 4

5 Overview IEP 2005 IEP aims to involve people by: Building on what was learned from First Nations and stakeholders during the 2004 IEP process Eliciting input on values around electricity choices for BC's future Page 5

6 Overview - Definitions What is a resource option (RO)? A resource type (or option) to meet electricity needs (such as wind, hydro, thermal, solar, etc.) These are the building blocks (or ingredients) for creating portfolios What is an (energy) portfolio? A portfolio is a combination (or recipe) of resource options It identifies the size, location, and timeline for when new resource options are required What is an attribute? An attribute is a measure used to characterize and compare resource options (like cost, emissions, area) Page 6

12 2004 IEP Results and Highlights

13 Overview IEP First IEP in 10 years Filed with BCUC on March 31, 2004 Did not seek to establish a preferred plan Kept a series of options feasible Provided direction to pursue Power Smart, Call for Tenders on VI Investigation of Burrard, Site C options 400Gwh call for tenders Stakeholder Engagement Informed and solicited feedback on the 2004 IEP Page 13

14 2004 IEP - Feedback First Nations Input Need earlier engagement Historical grievances Remote electrification and reliability of service to First Nation Communities Impacts of transmission lines Revenue sharing Environmental impact and full cost accounting (life cycle costing) Page 14

15 2004 IEP - Feedback Stakeholder Input Consider triple bottom line in planning High value on the environment but have a higher priority for maintaining reliability, and low cost power Support independent power producers, economic development in BC Public Ownership of BC Hydro Page 15

16 2004 General Feedback from the North Low cost is important, but not at the cost of reliability and the environment Environmental goals are important but not at the cost of increased rates Mixed views on building for export Strong support for high reliability Page 16

17 2004 IEP - Next Steps For the 2005 IEP Require dialogue and learning to balance contradictory views Seeking to address feedback into 2005 process Provincial IEP Committee to work through planning process to develop a consensus for BC s preferred portfolio Page 17

18 Design of the 2005 IEP

19 2005 IEP Objectives Solicit additional input from First Nations Solicit additional input from Stakeholders Meet regulatory requirements Select a Preferred portfolio of new resources Page 19

20 2005 IEP - Engagement Principles The 2005 IEP process will seek to: Be understanding and representative of diverse views, Be transparent, honest, and open Strive for meaningful discussion and dialogue, and Emphasize two-way communication and mutual respect. Page 20

21 Feedback from Last Night s Public Information Session

22 2005 IEP - Feedback From Information Session Overview of key themes related to the IEP Reliability & low rates are both very important Support for maintaining public ownership Support for new electricity projects that would spur regional economic development New electricity projects should provide benefits for the surrounding region (maybe reflected in rates) Support for renewable sources (e.g., hydro) Support for BC Hydro requiring IPPs to meet BC Hydro s standards for environmental & social responsibility Page 22

40 Summary - Resource Options for Mock Exercises Assumptions for Mock Exercise Biomass - only used woodwaste to represent this resource type, therefore no emissions. Wind - used a number of BCH identified sites in Peace Region to represent resource. Coal MW new development, so mine site included in land impact attribute Geothermal - based on 2 projects up by Whistler (Meager Creek most advanced) limited amount available (~1500 GWh) Natural Gas : non- site specific generic project 250MW. Assume average gas from 2004 IEP of $5 Can/GJ Large Hydro : based on Site C Small Hydro : bundle of 26 projects Power Smart: includes Power Smart 3 and 4 Page 40

41 Mock Exercises - Attributes 1,000 GWh resource bundles were created by resource type and their relative impacts will be measured by the following attributes: Attribute Unit of Measure Unit Energy Cost * $ / GWh # of Projects # Greenhouse Gases Tonnes of CO 2 equivalent emissions per year Local Air Emissions Tonnes of nitrous oxide emissions (NOx) per year Impacted Area Jobs Hectares (ha) of surface area impacted for land Hectares (ha) of surface area impacted for water Construction jobs - person years of employment Full-time equivalent jobs * includes an adjustment for Dependable Capacity Ratio Page 41

42 Mock Exercises - Attributes Unit Energy Cost (UEC) For resources that predominantly provide energy $/MWh Adjustment for Dependable Capacity Ratio Ratio of dependable capacity / installed capacity Adjustment for Location (transmission losses) Page 42

43 Mock Exercises - Attributes # of Projects Total number of projects that make up the 1,000 GWh bundle Advantages/Disadvantages to both large and small number of projects i.e. large number of projects match load better, and small number of projects may be lumpy additions Page 43

44 Mock Exercises - Attributes Greenhouse Gas Emissions Include carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH 4 ) resulting from fossil fuel combustion Tonnes of CO 2 equivalent emissions/year Local Air Emissions Include nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx), and particulate matter (PM). Tonnes of NOx emissions/year Page 44

45 Mock Exercises - Attributes Impacted Area Land Difficult to determine precise environmental impacts of a resource when not site specific Gives an indication of environmental impact by totaling the surface area (in hectares) affected by the resource on land and water Includes: site area, inundated area, new penstock corridors, and auxiliary structures: new access roads new transmission lines Page 45

46 Mock Exercises - Attributes Short - term jobs Temporary construction jobs (personyears) Long - term jobs Permanent full-time equivalent employees Page 46

47 Mock Exercise - Consequence Table The impacts of the various resource options according to the attributes (for an equivalent amount of 1,000 GWh) can be summarized in the following CONSEQUENCE TABLE: Attribute Units Biomass Coal Geothermal Large Hydro Natural Gas Wind Small Hydro Power Smart Adjusted Unit Energy Cost (6%) $/MWh $68 $51 $68 $50 $68 $70 $43 $35 Number of Projects # GHG tco 2 e/yr 0 900,000 10, , Local Emissions (NO x ) t/yr 1, Inundated Land (Flooded) ha Impacted Area - Land ha , Temporary Jobs Created PersonYrs ,340 1, N/A Permanent Jobs Created Jobs Page 47

49 Mock Exercises - Supply Curve Wind $160 $140 $120 Unit Energy Cost ($/MWh) $100 $80 $60 $40 $20 $ Average Annual Energy (GWh) Page 49

50 Mock Exercises Mock Exercises Page 50

51 Mock Exercises Again, Mock Exercises are designed to Help frame and guide subsequent discussions about the resource options And ultimately serve to help generate ideas for the development of preliminary portfolios Page 51

52 Mock Exercises Go to spreadsheet to compare between resource options using the available attributes Page 52

53 Mock Exercises A few words about the exercises: These exercises are a discussion tool to help participants begin to discuss their preferences There is no right answer, as everyone s rankings and preferences will be unique People are asked to write their name on the top of the sheets as it will help facilitate the discussions The resulting discussions from these exercises will be summarized for input to the Provincial IEP Committee as they develop portfolios and included in the 2005 IEP First Nations and Stakeholder Engagement Report Page 53

54 Mock Exercises 2 exercises will be done: Direct Ranking of Resource Options Swing Weighting using the Attributes Note. People will be able to revise their ranking values during the facilitated discussions Page 54

55 Exercises - Direct Ranking STEP 1: Rank each of the Resource Options from #1 (best) to #7 (worst). No ties allowed. STEP 2: STEP 3: Check: Distribute 100 points for the #1 (best) ranked resource option Distribute a lesser amount of points for the next best ranked (#2) resource option relative to #1. Repeat for remaining resource options (#3 through #7) Do a check on the relative difference between points with other rankings (e.g. #2 versus #5, etc.) Page 55

56 Exercises - Direct Ranking Alternative Biomass Coal Geothermal Large Hydro Natural Gas Wind Small Hydro Power Smart 3 4 Rank Weight Page 56

57 Purpose: Exercises - Swing Weighting Provides an alternative means to assess resource options according to their attribute values Provides a way to gain insight into the relative importance of each attribute according to the improvements (worst to best) that can be made Swing refers to the importance of moving one attribute from its worst to best value Page 57

58 Exercises - Swing Weighting STEP 1: Rank #1 the attribute that is most important to you to change from worst to best. Repeat for #2, #3,. For Example. Page 58

59 Exercises - Swing Weighting Worst Best Rank Adjusted UEC $ 70 $ 35 3 # of Projects GHG 900, Local Emmissions (Nox) Impacted Area - Water Footprint Area - Land 4, Temporary Jobs Created 0 1,670 7 Permanent Jobs Created Page 59

60 Exercises - Swing Weighting STEP 2: Distribute 100 points to the Rank #1 attribute. Distribute whatever proportion less than 100 to the Rank #2 Attribute according to its importance relative to Rank #1 Distribute proportion for Rank #3, must be less than Rank #2 Repeat for all the attributes e.g. Page 60

61 Exercises - Swing Weighting Adjusted UEC # of Projects GHG Local Emmissions (Nox) Impacted Area - Water Footprint Area - Land Temporary Jobs Created Permanent Jobs Created Worst $ , , Best $ , Rank Weight Page 61

62 Exercises - Swing Weighting STEP 3: Check relative swing rankings to ensure consistency Page 62

63 Exercises Go to spreadsheet to fill in ranking values.(should be lunch time) Page 63

64 POST Exercises Are there other resource options the Provincial Committee should be looking at when developing the first round of portfolios? Are there other attributes the Provincial Committee should be looking at when developing the first round of portfolios? Page 64
