Introduction
! !
!
!
! !
Thank you all for coming today, it is good to see such an overwhelming response to this program. Customer Based Generation represents a very important step for BC Hydro in terms of resource acquisition. We want to invite you to participate in today’s workshop by asking questions and providing feedback. The structure for today is: ! about 5 minutes for several burning questions directly after each speaker ! then the remainder of the day for a question and answer session We may not have all the answers Look to this workshop to explain the EPA and move forward

CBG is a key component of our Energy Acquisition Strategy, which includes Power Smart, Resource Smart, CBG and Green resources. Current targets (i.e 800 GWh for CBG) are illustrated above. Factors such as energy and peak demand growth, results of current acquisition programs will influence timing and size of future CBG/Green resource calls.

49
Hardship Clause
Hardship Event is defined as:
! ! ! !
(Section 11)
Change in law or policy - Federal, Provincial, Local Fuel shortage or price increase Co-generation host shutdown Electricity host shutdown

Customer Based Generation Workshop November 4, 2002
50
Fuel Shortage or Price Increase
If the Project includes thermal generation: ! A lack of availability of the Energy Source due to diminished supply ! Or an increase in the delivered cost to the Seller of the Energy Source ! Including an increase in such delivered cost resulting from an inability of the Seller to contract for secure supply of the Energy Source over a reasonable term due to a deterioration in the creditworthiness of the Seller and/or the Guarantor

Pricing Overview
Two Price Related Concepts: i) CFT Adjusted Bid Price
!
Used to comparatively assess bids Adjustments applied to rank bids (do not effect price paid if successful bidder)
!
ii) Price Paid for Eligible Electricity
!
Bid Price identified on Tender Some adjustments are applicable

Bid Price Ranking Adjustments
Seller's Bid Price (From CFT) Hydrology Adjustment GHG Intensity Green Adjustment Green = Less $ 5.00 Not Green = No Adjustment
Applicable = Add $ 3.50 Not Applicable = No Adjustment Reduce Bid Price By Up To $ 3.00 Location Adjustments Area Location Adjustment Depends on Generator Interconnection Preliminary Study
System Adjustment
Depends on Generator Interconnection Preliminary Study
Bulk Location Adjustment
Per Location Adjustment Tables in CFT (Pages 17 & 18)
CFT Adjusted Bid Price
Customer Based Generation Workshop November 4, 2002
69
Ceiling Price
!
CFT Adjusted Bid Price is then compared to Ceiling Price of $55 per MWh (2003 CAD)
!
If greater than Ceiling Price Bid is rejected
!
The Ceiling Price is based on BC Hydro’s long-term electricity price forecast for firm energy Methodology for developing this price forecast has been posted to the CBG website 2005 to 2020 natural gas price at Sumas is forecast at about USD$3.00 per MMBtu

Calculating Project GHG Intensity
1. Start with total annual fuel input. 2. If plant cogenerates electricity and steam, estimate annual fuel input attributable to electricity production. difference between total fuel input and the fuel input that would be required for equivalent volume of steam in a noncogen configuration 3. Calculate annual GHG associated with fuel input attributable to electricity production, in tonnes CO2e. ! GHGs include CO2, CH4 and N2O ! use Environment Canada emission factors http://www.ec.gc.ca/pdb/ghg/ghg_docs/Emission_Factors.pdf

Calculating Project GHG Intensity cont’d
!
if you need to convert between units, provide assumptions and references
!
conversion factors available in Annex B of www.nrcan.gc.ca/es/ceo/outlook.pdf
note that biomass is CO2 neutral for GHG accounting purposes ! convert CH4 and N2O to CO2e using Global Warming Potential factors provided 4. Estimate total annual electricity production, whether consumed onsite or sold to BC Hydro or others, in MWh 5. Calculate Project GHG Intensity, in tonnes CO2e/MWh

Interconnection Objective
!
!
!
Interconnection is more than specifying the equipment at the physical point of interconnection Interconnection study determines what is required to ensure the BCH transmission system reliability is maintained after interconnection (“protection and control”) Cost estimate will be guaranteed to not exceed 130% of the estimate (NEW!!)
Customer Based Generation Workshop November 4, 2002
101
Study Components
!
Several inter-related planning depts involved
! ! ! ! ! !
Area Planning - acceptability, islanding issues Network Planning - stability impacts Station Planning - station capacity Protection Planning - protection and control requirements Telecontrol Planning - communication needed for protection to work Project Management review - completeness of scope
!
Largest variable in interconnection cost is due to protection requirements - not correlated to generation project size
Customer Based Generation Workshop November 4, 2002
102
Study Costs
!
! !
A standard cost approach was used to prepare estimate ! 8 week time period does not allow time to estimate individual study requirements ! $15 K for projects impacting transmission system ! $3-5 K for projects on distribution system Unique circumstances are being reviewed Upon completion, we will review overall study costs and provide refunds if standard cost estimate was too high
Customer Based Generation Workshop November 4, 2002
103
Deliverables
Preliminary Interconnection Study Deliverables: ! Interconnection cost estimate ! Adjustments for bid comparison ! Bulk Location Adjustment ( i.e. transmission capacity impact) ! Area Location Adjustment ( i.e. line loss impact) ! System Upgrade Adjustment ( i.e. impact of costs borne by BCH) ! Bidders project must comply with BCH Interconnection Requirements regarding equipment on their side of the POI
Customer Based Generation Workshop November 4, 2002
104
Revenue Metering
!
Costs of revenue metering is not included in estimate:
! ! ! !
Revenue Metering is required per Section 7.11 of EPA Revenue metering is not required for interconnection Will vary depending on project configuration Largest cost is Voltage Transformers and Current Transformers
!
Provision of revenue meters and equipment by BCH can be added to Facilities Agreement scope
