9 PACE PRICE CURVES OVERVIEW PNM hired Pace Global ( Pace ) to provide a coordinated set of price curves for use in the IRP process. PNM worked with Pace to derive three scenarios: Reference: Conditions remain similar to what they are now Cheap: Near term policies focus on low cost energy Clean: Policy balance favors additional environmental regulations Details of the scenarios have been provided in the MarketLink Scenarios document distributed at the September 17 th IRP meeting. Overview of the work: Pat Augustine, Executive Director, Pace Global SLIDE 9 SEPTEMBER 2013

13 DEMAND FORECASTING AGENDA Describe and define demand forecasting Discuss the elements of the IRP net system peak Discuss treatment of system losses within demand forecast Compare actual demands to previous forecasts SLIDE 13 SEPTEMBER 2013

14 DEMAND FORECASTING DEFINITION AND PROCESS DESCRIPTION PNM develops its demand forecast based on current load conditions and projected economic data, including projections for large customers, for the service territory Demand forecast is weather-normalized For IRP, three scenarios will be used: mid, high and low PNM's system peak always occurs during the summer (Jun-Aug) on weekdays around 5pm. Peaks are in large part driven by hot weather. While the average temperature on a summer day is about 93, temperatures average over 98 on system peak days. PNM's winter peak (which usually occurs from Dec to Feb) is typically about 85% of the summer peak. The winter peak often occurs around 7pm on a weekday. SLIDE 14 SEPTEMBER 2013

16 DEMAND FORECASTING ELEMENTS OF NET SYSTEM PEAK For IRP, supply and demands are balanced at the electric generating station. Net system peak is the sum of retail and wholesale customer coincident peak and behind the meter demand reductions energy efficiency and customer sited solar SLIDE 16 SEPTEMBER 2013

19 ENERGY EFFICIENCY EFFICIENT USE OF ENERGY ACT (EUEA) DEFINITIONS Energy efficiency: Measures, including energy conservation measures, or programs that target consumer behavior, equipment or devices to result in a decrease in consumption of electricity and natural gas without reducing the amount or quality of energy services. Load management: Measures or programs that target equipment or devices to result in decreased peak electricity demand or shift demand from peak to off-peak periods. Utility cost test: A standard that is met if the monetary costs that are borne by the public utility and that are incurred to develop, acquire and operate energy efficiency or load management resources on a life-cycle basis are less than the avoided monetary costs associated with developing, acquiring and operating the associated supply-side resources. Energy savings: Shall not be less than savings of 5% of 2005 total retail kilowatt-hour sales to New Mexico customers in calendar year 2014 and 8% in 2020 as a result of energy efficiency and load management programs implemented starting in Program spending: Funding for program costs for investor-owned electric utilities shall be three percent of customer bills. SLIDE 19 SEPTEMBER 2013

20 ENERGY EFFICIENCY ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS Demand-side resources: Energy efficiency and load management, as those terms are defined in the EUEA. Demand response: A resource comprising programs that compensate electricity users in exchange for the ability to interrupt or reduce their electric consumption when system demand is particularly high and/or system reliability is at risk (a type of load management). Energy savings goals: The 2014 statutory goal for PNM is 411 GWh; the 2020 goal is 658 GWH. All EE cases in the 2014 IRP are projected to meet or exceed the statutory goals. Gross savings: The total energy and demand savings from all participants in utility programs. Net savings: Net savings are reduced to account for the impact of free-rider participants (participants that would have implemented the energy efficiency measure even without the utility incentives). PNM reports net savings to the PRC and only net savings contribute to the statutory goals. SLIDE 20 SEPTEMBER 2013

26 ENERGY EFFICIENCY LONG TERM EE PROJECTIONS KEY ASSUMPTIONS 1. PNM files new energy efficiency program plan every two years Last (current) filing October 2012 Next filing October EUEA provides for consistent long-term energy efficiency spending 3% of customer bills 3. EE spending increases at the same rate as PNM revenue 4. Energy savings projections become a function of program design and the cost of achieving new savings 5. The cost of achieving new energy savings increases over time as least-cost options are captured (lighting, for example) IRP EE projection (Mid) assumes the cost of EE per kwh saved increases at 4.5% annually 7. High and low sensitivity cases based on variation in cost escalation rate If the cost to acquire new EE increases less than expected more savings achieved 8. Demand response programs continue as a resource SLIDE 26 SEPTEMBER 2013

32 RISK ANALYSIS OVERVIEW MODELING KEY COST FACTOR VARIABILITY The NMPRC s Rule , Integrated Resource Plans for Electric Utilities, requires that the IRP consider risk and uncertainty in its plan, specifically noting price volatility. PNM s modeling shows that the input factors that both A) display significant variation in their magnitude or costs and B) have a major impact on total ratepayer cost are: 1. Natural gas prices 2. Wholesale electricity market prices 3. Load growth 4. Potential greenhouse gas emission costs PNM employs a statistical analysis to assess portfolio risk. Historic or expected variability is represented by probability distributions that are used to create simulations of a large number of sets of conditions with which the portfolio may be faced. This statistical technique is known as Monte Carlo simulation. SLIDE 32 SEPTEMBER 2013

33 RISK ANALYSIS PRICE VOLATILITY What is Monte Carlo analysis? Repeated random sampling of specific variables. Evaluate each of the top portfolios under the same conditions. Stress Test Why perform Monte Carlo analysis on selected portfolios? Want to make sure that portfolios chosen perform well under a broad range of conditions. Robustness Balance of individual resources within a portfolio to mitigate overall system risk. Resource Diversity SLIDE 33 SEPTEMBER 2013
