2 2 PC02: Modeling Logic Production Cost Model Scope Scope Key Questions Assumptions Increased Wind Generation Results Generation Mix/ Curtailment Dump Energy Path Utilization/Flows

3 3 PC02: Purpose Purpose To study the effect of addition of 130 TWh in wind generation on generation and key path flows. These study case was derived from the 2026 Common Case version 2.0.

4 4 PC02: Scope Study Requestors: CREPC/WIRAB, PG&E Changes from 2026CC as specified by study requestors: Addition of 130 TWh wind in AB, MT, WA-OR, WY, CO, NM No other changes were made to CC2.0. Key Questions: How does the system respond to addition of increased wind? Effect of curtailment due to increase in wind Dump energy Utilization impacts on key paths

21 21 PC02: Observations Reduction in base load dispatch of coal and natural gas and high utilization of wind. Lower production cost and lower CO2 vs. CC2.0. Higher utilization on certain paths. No significant utilization on requested key paths

22 22 Utilization Ratings Congestion vs Utilization Some lines are designed to be highly utilized. Most Heavily Utilized = A path that meets any one of the following criterion (10-year plan utilization screening): U75 > 50% U90 > 20% U99 > 5% Uxx = % of year that flow is greater than xx% of the path limit
