Public Policy Consulting

Pressures on the Utility Model New environmental regulations Investment requirements Flat load growth Shifting fuel economics Upward pressure on rates Distributed energy resources Falling cost of alternative resources

=

WECC (2032): Potential Bypass Threats from Distributed Generation are Large WECC-wide Behind-the-Meter DG: 19 GW of solar PV + 7 GW of CHP Distributed PV based on “interconnection potential” (no back-flow through feeders), with adjustments to reflect relative economics among states CHP additions represent a fixed percentage (~40%) of technical potential in each state Percent of 2032 Peak Demand Source: E3 (2013).

Baseline Case

REF ITI Case

How does the assumption of an HREF affect the business model?  Much higher levels of variable generation at the bulk power scale  Greater penetration of distributed energy resources at the distribution scale  Greater need for flexibility in the grid components, operations, and architecture  Much higher levels of energy efficiency (sufficient to eliminate load growth) (affects utility organization, operations) (affects utility revenues, services) (affects utility investment, operations) (affects utility role, services)

Thesis: Utilities must develop a set of new business models Thesis: Today’s regulation may not be up to the task –Rarely rewards utilities for desired behavior –Lack of incentives for firm efficiency clean energy investment energy efficiency innovation –Rate structures need revision –Focus on commodity sales –Balky, judicial process
