1 Gas-Electric Coordination in PJM Brian Fitzpatrick Sr. Lead Fuel Supply Analyst PJM Interconnection October 11, 2016 AGA State Affairs Fall Committee Meeting

2 PJM as Part of the Eastern Interconnection Key Statistics Member companies 960+ Millions of people served 61 Peak load in megawatts 165,492 MW of generating capacity 171,648 Miles of transmission lines 72, GWh of annual energy 792,580 Generation sources 1,304 Square miles of territory 243,417 States served 21% of U.S. GDP produced in PJM 13 + DC 1/2016 2

3 Gas Units in PJM Footprint ~ 42,000 MW directly connected to interstate pipelines ~ 21,000 MW behind LDC city gates 3

7 Queued Interconnection Requests (Requested Capacity Rights) December 31,

8 80% Gas Cumulative Generator Capacity Additions Total=36,000 MW Since

9 Gas-Electric Coordination Polar Vortex of January 2014 First real impact of the critical role of natural gas on grid reliability 9

10 Gas-Electric Coordination Spring through Fall 2014 PJM begins to assess the previous winter and investigates the development of guidelines, tools and processes to better understand and analyze the natural gas market and its impact on natural gas-fired generator availability and reliability. Assembles Gas-Electric Coordination Team in November

11 Gas-Electric Coordination Team formed to Analyze data related to natural gas Provide useful information that allows dispatch to make informed decisions Improve coordination with pipelines and LDCs 11

14 GECT Report Dashboard Dashboard for preparation and dissemination of Daily Gas Operations Report 14

15 PJM Gas Pipelines 15

16 Gas-Electric Coordination Accomplishments to Date Established Gas-Electric Coordination Team Signed Memorandum of Understanding with nine interstate pipelines to foster communication and coordination in line with FERC Order 787 Developed analytical processes and tools to identify reliability risks for gas fired generation on a daily basis Began outreach to local distribution companies and gas generation operators to increase operational knowledge to further improve daily reliability assessments 16

17 Gas - Electric Coordination Key Regulatory Drivers FERC Order 787 Sharing of non-public operating information between interstate pipelines, public utilities and electric transmission operators FERC Order 809 Adjustment of gas nomination cycles to improve gas-electric coordination Timely nomination deadline moved from 12:30 p.m. Eastern time to 2:00 p.m. Eastern time Addition of 3 rd intraday nomination cycle 17

18 Pre-March 30, 2016 Market Timing 18

19 Adjusted Market Timing March 31,

20 Capacity Performance Obligation to deliver energy when PJM calls for it Over-performers rewarded; under-performers pay Small net cost for improved reliability/price stability 20

21 Gas-Electric Coordination Looking Ahead Key Areas of Focus Continued work with Interstate pipelines to identify incremental opportunities to improve operations Ramp up outreach to local distribution companies, generators and marketers to address coordination and communication improvements Work with key stakeholders to assist with the development of innovative natural gas capacity products and services to address the unique needs of natural gas fired generators Seek ways to advocate and support needed natural gas infrastructure Midstream pipeline development running into significant opposition and critical delays Increased contingency analysis and cooperative gas/electric planning Examples: Aliso Canyon storage & Texas Eastern pipeline explosion 21
