1 1 Load Forecast and Scenarios David Bailey Customer Energy & Forecasting Manager Soyean Kim Rate Design Manager

2 LTERP Forecast 3 step process: Base Forecast As used for the 2016 PBR Update Provides a common starting point Monte Carlo Business as usual but incorporates recent volatility for several measures  Scenarios All the new factors not part of “business as usual” 2

3 STEP 1: BASE FORECAST 3 All information presented is before incremental DSM and other savings

4 2016 Load Forecast by Rate Group (GWh) 4

5 2016 Customers by Rate Group 5

6 Wholesale Customers Load % 6

7 7 Annual Load Forecast

8 2016 Peak Demand Forecast 8

9 STEP 2: MONTE CARLO 9 All information presented is before incremental DSM and other savings

10 Long-Term Load Forecast Applies to the “business as usual” scenario Large degree of uncertainty inherent in the long term forecast Rapidly changing market conditions and technology options introduce additional uncertainty Monte Carlo simulation allows a quantitative assessment of the long term uncertainty Upper range (P90) tied to 90% probability Lower range (P10) tied to 10% probability 10

11 Monte Carlo Process 1.Identify major influencing factors 2.Assign probability distribution 3.Apply random sampling using @Risk 11

12 Major Influencing Factors In the model as random variables: Population GDP Weather 12

13 Residential Forecast Probability Distribution 13 Uncertainty increases with time

14 Annual Gross Load Forecast 14 Maximum range from base is +/-5% Biggest uncertainty from Industrial, then Wholesale Commercial forecast to be most stable Residential variation +/-6% Commercial +/- 4% Wholesale +/- 13% Industrial +/- 24%

15 Peak Forecast 15

16 STEP 3: SCENARIOS 16

17 Scenarios We will add scenarios to the Monte Carlo (MC) results Some future scenarios will increase load and some will reduce load Additions will be added to the high MC case while deductions will be removed from the low MC case Hybrid scenarios (eg. some EV and some DG) will land somewhere in the middle 17

18 18 High Load Forecast Scenario Continued low DG growth High EV growth FBC promotes charging stations and EV range improves Higher gasoline prices High gas-to-electricity switching (e.g. gas to ASHP) Government policy focused on environment, electrification and GHG emission reductions with higher carbon tax and subsidies for green technologies like EV Natural gas rates rise more than electricity rates (partially due to increasing carbon tax) driving fuel switching High climate change scenario

19 19 Low Load Forecast Scenario High DG growth (includes rooftop solar, wind, home batteries, CHP) Low EV growth due to other technology like fuel cell vehicles and low gasoline prices Low gas-to-electricity switching Government policy less focused on environment so no increases to carbon tax and no subsidies for green technology Government policies favour positive role for natural gas in BC for domestic use Natural gas rates remain low relative to electricity rates Low climate change scenario

22 22 Definitions Load – the annual load measured in GWh Demand – the peak measured in MW MWh A typical single family home uses 12 MWh per year. A typical restaurant uses 65 MWh per year A typical 24 hr convenience store uses 200-300 MWh per year A typical grocery store uses 1,200 MWh per year GWh 1,000 MWh Larger industrial/commercial customers typically use over 10 GWh A large shopping mall can use 10 GWh A large hospital can use 20 GWh PV – Photovoltaic or solar panel DG – Distributed generation EV – Electric Vehicle Monte Carlo - A modeling technique that uses experienced volatility in different measures to forecast future volatility. ASHP – Air source heat pumps CHP – Combined heat and power
