MODULE 1: State of the Electricity System: 10-Year Review August 2016

Electricity demand 2005-2015 165 Electricity Demand (TWh) 160 155 150 145 140 135 130 125 2005 Embedded Generation Conservation Gross Demand Net Demand Grid Demand 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Gross Net Grid Gross Demand is the total demand for electricity services in Ontario prior to the impact of conservation programs Net Demand is Ontario Gross Demand minus the impact of conservation programs Grid Demand is Ontario Net Demand minus the demand met by embedded generation. It is equal to the energy supplied by the bulk system to wholesale customers and local distribution companies Decline in grid demand is due to four main factors Decreasing demand due to changes in the economy Participation in energy efficiency programs and improvements in building codes and equipment standards Changes in consumer behavior as a result of electricity prices including due to Time of Use Pricing (TOU) enabled by smart meters Growing presence of embedded generation 2

Ontario gross, net and grid energy demand, 2005-2015 (TWh) TWh 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Gross Demand 158.8 154.4 157.3 154.7 146.0 149.9 151.0 152.3 153.8 156.2 155.8 Conservation 0.0 1.6 3.5 4.0 4.9 5.4 6.7 7.9 8.9 11.3 12.8 Net Demand 158.8 152.8 153.8 150.6 141.1 144.5 144.3 144.5 144.8 144.9 143.0 Embedded Generation 1.8 1.7 1.6 2.0 2.0 2.3 2.8 3.2 4.1 5.1 6.0 Grid Demand 157.0 151.1 152.2 148.7 139.2 142.2 141.5 141.3 140.7 139.8 137.0 3

Net energy demand represents the total amount of electricity consumed in Ontario during the year Embedded generation has grown significantly in recent years through procurement programs such as RESOP, FIT and MicroFIT. These new resources caused demand on the IESO grid to decrease. Time of Use pricing structures have the greatest impact on peak demand. There is little direct impact on energy because load is shifted to other times Weather Corrected Energy Demand (TWh) 160 155 150 145 140 135 130 157.1 2005 Net Energy Demand Change 155.3 2015 Gross Energy Conservation 142.5 2015 Net Energy Embedded Generation 136.5 2015 Grid Energy 4

The drivers underlying peak demand have grown, but net and grid peak have both declined since 2005 Summer Weather Corrected Peak (MW) Winter Weather Corrected Peak (MW) 28,000 27,000 26,000 25,000 24,000 23,000 22,000 21,000 20,000 28,000 27,000 26,000 25,000 24,000 23,000 22,000 21,000 20,000 2005 Net Peak 25,923 Demand Change 2015 Gross Peak 27,137 24,273 24,650 2005 Net Peak Demand Change 2015 Gross Peak Conservation ICI and TOU Conservation ICI and TOU 2015 Net Peak 23,965 22,159 2015 Net Peak Estimated Embedded Generation Estimated Embedded Generation 2015 Grid Peak 22,559 21,531 2015 Grid Peak Note: ICI varies year-on-year based on weather conditions. In 2015, a cold winter prompted a higher-thanusual contribution from ICI Summer peak demand is driven by air conditioners and other space cooling technology while winter peak is related to space heating In 2015, Time-of-Use pricing (TOU) and the Industrial Conservation Initiative (ICI) both reduced summer and winter peaks Estimated Embedded Generation is the peak reduction attributed to embedded resources 6

Minimum grid demand has declined by about 1,500 MW Annual minimums typically occur during overnight hours on holidays or weekends Decrease in minimum demand has been driven by changes in the economy and participation in energy efficiency programs Embedded generation has had modest impact on minimum grid demand to date as the overwhelming majority of Ontario s distribution-connection generation is solar PV. Solar PV produces electricity during the day but is unable to meet demand overnight. Minimum Grid Demand (MW) 12,500 12,000 11,500 11,000 10,500 10,000 9,500 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 MW 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Minimum Grid Demand 11,950 11,621 11,699 11,450 10,678 10,618 10,799 10,998 10,765 10,719 10,539 8

Energy efficiency has slowed demand growth in the residential and commercial sectors One of the main drivers of demand growth since 2005 has been expanding commercial floor space for offices, retail, and institutions. At the same time, buildings have adopted new technologies to reduce electricity demand for lighting and other end uses Businesses are also making more efficient use of existing space; in most sectors there are more employees per square foot today than in 2005 Efficient technology and expanded use of natural gas heating has reduced energy intensity (measured in kwh per household) in the residential sector This trend is evident in the OEB s Residential Customer rate class kwh/residential Customer, monthly 850 800 750 700 650 600 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Average of OEB Residential Rate Class kwh/household 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Energy Intensity 817 824 802 771 785 770 764 755 743 746 OEB Yearbook of Electricity Distributors: http://www.ontarioenergyboard.ca/oeb/industry/rules+and+requirements/reporting+ and+record+keeping+requirements/yearbook+of+distributors The Residential Customer class does not include some large apartment buildings and condos. 9

Conservation represents savings from energy efficiency programs, changes in customer behavior, building codes, and equipment standards. Ontario saved a cumulative 67 TWh of electricity between 2005 and 2015 through conservation Nearly 13 TWh electricity was saved in 2015, about one third of savings from codes/standards, about two-thirds from conservation programs Conservation Savings (TWh) 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Historical Program Persistence (2006-2015) Codes and Standards (Implemented by 2015) 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Conservation program savings between 2006 and 2014 have been evaluated, program savings for 2015 and codes and standards savings are estimated. 11

Demand response includes those demand-side actions by consumers to reduce consumption upon request by the IESO Demand response programs prior to 2015 included DR1, DR2, and DR3 for business customers and peaksaver PLUS for residential customers Beginning in 2015, business DR3 programs were transitioned to the market as capacitybased demand response (CBDR) The first capacity-based demand response auction conducted in December 2015 is contributing 391.5 MW for the 2016 summer season and 403.7MW for the 2016-2017 winter season.

Demand response is also achieved through targeted rate structures for residential and small commercial customers and pricing incentives for large customers Time of Use (TOU) has existed in Ontario since approximately 2005 for low volume electricity consumers with smart meters It provides an incentive for consumers to shift electricity use away from higher demand periods to lower demand periods Another pricing incentive program designed to reduce demand at peak times is the Industrial Conservation Initiative (ICI) Certain large customers with demand greater than 3 MW (Class A customers) are eligible to participate Global Adjustment amounts for participating Class A customers are adjusted to reflect their contribution to overall system demand during the top five peak hours of a year Demand Response Capacity in 2015 (MW) 1,800 1,600 1,400 1,200 1,000 800 600 400 200 - Peaksaver PLUS: 164 MW CBDR: 526 MW TOU: 59 MW ICI: 1,000 MW ICI Program: http://www.ieso.ca/pages/participate/settlements/global- Adjustment-for-Class-A.aspx Demand response resources together amounted to approximately 1.8 GW in 2015 13

Operability: Overview Operability relates to aspects of a power system that allow the main components of load, supply and transmission to function Operability is an indicator of whether resources can be reasonably and reliably coordinated to deliver power to the loads in real time dispatch to match varying loads and extreme system conditions The power system must be capable of delivering power and be able to sustain significant system events, while maintaining reliability across a spectrum of system operating conditions and requirements In a balanced system there is enough redundancy and technological diversity to meet electricity needs without over-reliance on any one particular resource 27

Surplus baseload generation (SBG) SBG occurs when the baseload generation is higher than the Ontario Demand plus net exports. SBG typically occurs during periods of low demand in Ontario and/or connected neighbouring systems. The expected baseload generation includes nuclear generation, baseload waterpower generation, and intermittent generation such as wind and solar. The IESO has enhanced its processes to maintain supply-demand balance. The system is balanced using market mechanisms which include export scheduling, dispatch of renewables, and manoeuvering/shutdown of nuclear units. Out-of-market mechanisms such as import cuts could also be utilized to alleviate SBG conditions 600,000 18,000 MWh Curtailments for SBG 500,000 400,000 300,000 200,000 17,000 16,000 15,000 14,000 13,000 Ontario Demand (MW) 100,000 12,000 0 Apr-15 May-15 Jun-15 Jul-15 Aug-15 Sep-15 Oct-15 Nov-15 Dec-15 Jan-16 Feb-16 Mar-16 Date Nuclear Curtailed Wind Curtailments Import Cuts 20th Percentile Hourly Ontario Demand Source: IESO 18-month outlook, June 21, 2016. http://www.ieso.ca/documents/marketreports/18monthoutlook_2016jun.pdf 11,000 28

Load-following and operational flexibility Load-following is the capability of the generation fleet to increase and decrease its output in response to changes in demand (commonly referred to as ramp rate). Operational flexibility is the ability to commit and schedule resources to meet load-following requirements within the available timeframe Operational flexibility required by the power system has been increasing, driven by increased variable generation and changing load behaviour due to weather, economic conditions, and embedded generation Operational flexibility has been decreasing because of the phase-out of coal-fired generation and a transition to natural gas as Ontario s intermediate resources Despite the significant system changes, the flexibility and capability of the Ontario fleet along with the enhanced operational actions taken have been adequate to maintain reliability 29

Operating reserve and frequency regulation Operating Reserve It is the supply or load reduction capacity which can be called upon on short notice (within 10 mins and 30 mins) to address sudden changes in supply or demand Variable generation (VG) output variability has been within the conditions addressed by both 10 minute and 30 minute reserve requirements The amount of operating reserve procured during this timeframe was adequate for the supply mix and system conditions experienced Frequency Regulation It is the service required to control power system frequency and maintain the balance between load and generation on a second-by-second basis The IESO s Renewables Integration Initiative (RII) introduced centralized resource forecasting to help reduce forecast errors associated with increasing amounts of variable generation. The IESO also started to explore the use of new technologies to provide regulation (Alternative Technologies for Regulation procurement in 2012) The frequency of the power system was adequately maintained by available resources. However, it has been observed that in adequately regulating the frequency, the resources providing regulation have often been stretched to their limits 30
