Natural Gas Value Chain: Discussion Questions ************ Day 2 ************ ************ Session 2, Session 3 11:45 and 1:45 ************ Electric Generation What other generation fuels are in the mix? Characteristics of different types of generation Which are growing and which are being phased out? Why? o What are the alternatives for new generation? o What dual-fuel capabilities? What is the ownership of generation? Where would generation be located? o Given value considerations above, would you locate near wellhead? Near load? Will gas-fired generation be served through the same pipeline and distribution systems as other customers? o What competing uses? o How do the peaks align? o How much firm usage do generators require? How is firm defined? o Can other uses be added to a dedicated generation gas system at a later time? Who is responsible for forecasting? o For electric load? o For gas load? o How reliable are the forecasts? o Who will coordinate reliability between the gas and electric systems? 1
How does the gas system rely on electricity? How much can the electricity system depend on natural gas Would using gas for electric generation drive prices up or down for other users? Purposes of regulation Price? Quality? Access? Security? Possible Public Interest Objectives o Investment o Profit Control o Rate Control o Universal Service o Rate Fairness o Quality of Service o Reliability o Safety o Use of Public Land o Taking of Private Land o Complaints o Energy Efficiency o Economic Development What public policy is in the Law? What job description does the Law give regulators? What regulatory tools does the regulator have? 2
