2020 Long-term Transmission Plan Stakeholder Information Session

February 5, 2020

Public

Dennis Frehlich, P. Eng.

Vice-President, Grid Reliability

Agenda

1

• Welcome & housekeeping

• AESO 2020 Long-term Transmission Plan

(2020 LTP) Highlights

• Transmission Planning Process

• AESO 2019 Long-term Outlook (2019 LTO)

– Input to the 2020 LTP

• 2020 LTP

– Near-term developments (within 5 years)

• Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and

Energy Storage

• 2020 LTP

– Longer-term developments (5 -20 years)

• Generation Integration Capabilities

• Questions & Answers Public

2020 LTP Highlights

2

• Defines a flexible future plan:

– Meets near-term needs while being flexible by adopting

scenario-based planning utilizing the 2019 LTO

– Considers staged transmission developments, using

milestones

• Identifies 20 near-term transmission developments:

– All require further regulatory approval

– Total $1.4 billion

– Potentially increase average transmission rates by about

$0.50—$0.70 per megawatt hour, starting in 2025

• Incorporates expanded generation integration capability

assessments to include all regions of the province,

providing guidance to assist developers

• Includes the consideration of emerging technologies

and the potential future impacts to the grid Public

Recommended Alternative

• Reliability

Ensure:

• Energy Only Market

Support:

• Future generation development

Enable:

• Future load Growth

Serve:

• Legislated requirements

Meet:

System

Studies

• Capacity requirement

• Congestion forecasts

• Need dates

Result in high level:

• Technology

• Termination

points

• Capacity

Specify:

• Relative costs and

losses impact

• High-level land /

environmental impact

• Long-term nature of

asset

• Asymmetric risk of

building too late vs.

too early

• Stakeholder input

• Staging / milestones

• Construction /

integration schedules

Considerations:

n

• Technical

• Economic

• Environmental

Relative:

Projects identified in the 2020 LTP require regulatory approval

• Approach:

– Consultation meetings

– Engagement through Public Involvement Programs (PIP) for transmission

development projects

• Timing

– Q1-Q2 2019: review LTP planning process & obtain input for consideration

– Q3-Q4 2019: update on transmission development plans

Stakeholder Consultation

6 Public

• Objectives:

– Ensure LTP accurately captures transmission

needs for Alberta

• Stakeholders:

– Transmission facility owners, distribution facility

owners, industry associations, regional

municipalities (council and/or administration)

Scenarios /

Sensitivity

High-Level Description

Reference Case • AESO’s main corporate forecast

Reference Case Alternate

Renewables Policy • Tests higher renewable target or policy

High Cogeneration

Sensitivity

• Tests increased cogeneration adoption

at existing and future oil sands sites

Low Growth Low Growth • Tests lower economic and generation

growth due to limited oil sands growth

High Growth High Growth • Tests higher economic and generation

growth due to strong oil sands growth

Diversification* Diversification*

• Tests greater penetration of new

technologies in an economy not driven

by oil sands

Amir Motamedi, P. Eng., Ph.D.

Manager, System Planning

Distributed Energy Resources &

Energy Storage

• To further understand the impact

of DER integration on available

transmission system capability,

the AESO studied the following

conditions:

– Focused on the three major urban

centres (Edmonton, Red Deer &

Calgary) and renewable rich areas

within Alberta

DER Assessment: Approach

27 Public

• Up to 25 per cent of homes are assumed to have rooftop solar PV in these

urban centres

• City of Calgary: approx. 300 MW

• City of Edmonton: approx. 300 MW

• City of Red Deer: approx. 70 MW

• 200 MW of DER in central east and southern Alberta

− DER modeled by scaling down loads in the distribution system

• DER integration in the Cities of Edmonton and

Red Deer does not impact transmission system

capability to integrate renewables

• There is a reduction of approximately 60 MW in

transmission system capability for renewable

integration for every 100 MW of DER integrated in

the City of Calgary

• Integration of 100 MW of DER in the south and

central east areas will reduce 100 MW of

transmission system capability for renewables in

these regions

• However, CETO and CRPC will also mitigate the

above concerns and help to enable integration of

DERs in Calgary, SE and CE regions

DER Assessment: Results

28 Public

• The AESO published an Energy Storage

Roadmap in August 2019:

– Sets out the AESO’s plan to facilitate the

integration of energy storage technologies

– Objective is to enable energy storage in

Alberta following guiding principles that

include treating energy storage as its own

unique asset class and removing barriers to its

integration

• The AESO is currently:

– Working with market participants and

stakeholders on integrating storage projects

– Evaluating storage as a transmission deferral

tool (e.g., in the Fort Saskatchewan area)

• Energy storage may be competitive for fast

frequency services needed for imports (loss

of intertie)

Longer-term Developments

Scenario Transmission Developments

Reference Case

• PENV 240 kV conversion for additional renewable integration

capability

• MATL back-to-back HVDC converter (as part of AIR Block 3)

• Keephills to Sundance 500 kV line or 240 kV transmission line

upgrades in the Edmonton region

Alternate

Policy (faster-

pace renewables)

• Including Reference Case developments

• Potential EATL bi-pole for additional transfer capability

High Growth

• Including Reference Case developments

• Significant 240 kV developments are required in NW areas for load

growth

High Cogen

• Including Reference Case developments

• 240 kV enhancements (Dover to Birchwood Creek substations) and

500 kV Fort McMurray East (FME) line between Heartland and

Thickwood Hills substations to enhance transfer capability to/from

Fort McMurray 31

Generation Integration Capabilities

South and Central Regions

37 Public

• These regions are rich in renewables

– However, the capabilities shown here are for renewable as

well as conventional generations

• The existing transmission system has approximately 450

MW of maximum remaining capability in southern and

central east areas

• Planned capability enhancements for PENV/CETO/CRPC

– PENV enables up to additional ~350 MW in the system

– CETO can provide additional 700 MW of integration

capability in SE and CE

– CRPC can provide additional 600 MW of integration

capability in the SW

– These capabilities could also be utilized by thermal

generation capacity additions

– Assumes optimized integration; 240 kV and optimal locations

Northern Regions

38

• The capability shown is

based on N-1

considerations

• The planned capability

requires the following

developments:

– 240 kV 9L74 upgrade between

Dover and Birchwood Creek

substations in the NE enables

300 MW (incremental to the

existing)

– 500 kV Fort McMurray East

transmission development

enables 1300 MW
