6. Methodology for developing Natural Gas Price TAS – TEPPC approved a hybrid approach last round that includes using the California Energy Commission major and minor Hub Prices and the Northwest Power and Conservation Council monthly shapes. The two models differ in that the council’s model is a regression model that reflects historic usage and accounts for forward look factors exogenously (e.g., LNG development, Pipe expansions, etc.). In contrast, the CEC model, North American Market Gas-trade “NAMGas” starts with the World Gas Trade Model (WGTM) applies changes including but not limited to: – Reconfigures California portion of the model – Removes all non-North American structure – Add functional nodes to account for approved LNG – imports and exports – Add nodes needed to represent natural gas demand in the transportation sector 6 W ESTERN E LECTRICITY C OORDINATING C OUNCIL

7. NAMGas NAMGas produces Supply Side Cost Curve. “Elasticity is included in the model” in that the CEC uses Plexos interchangeably to produce the supply cost curve which, in turn is used as an input parameter to NAMGas NAMGas 2016 Prices are from the October 2015 final NAMGas Model results used for the 2015 Natural Gas Outlook Draft Staff Report at: http://docketpublic.energy.ca.gov/PublicDocuments/15- IEPR http://docketpublic.energy.ca.gov/PublicDocuments/15- IEPR Transportation rates are from the natural gas pipeline operators' filed tariffs. Deflators are from Moody's Analytics.

8. TEPPC 2026 Common Case – Natural Gas Prices Gas and power markets are undergoing revolutionary change – Tremendous growth in natural gas production – Major restructuring of gas transmission systems in Canada, Eastern US, Mexico – Increasingly severe regulation of emissions, including, for the first time, CO2 – Large increases in renewable energy and gas-fired generation with increasing coal-fired plant shut- downs 8

9. Markets Expect Continued Gas Supply Growth Balanced market price used to be about $4.00 per mmBtu at Henry Hub – Above-normal storage would push prices down; below-normal would cause spike Growing gas supply has changed the balanced-market price – Long-term gas futures have fallen below $3.50 per mmBtu 9

20. The CEC Coal Prices Garry O’Neil For coal Burner-Tip Prices, the CEC started with the 2015 Annual Energy Outlook: EIA evaluates U.S. energy markets and uses trends to forecast coal prices For the Western US, The EIA develops estimated price projections that are aggregated over seven coal mine regions. These regions are Western Montana, Powder River Basin, Western Wyoming, Rocky Mountain, Southwest (Arizona/New Mexico), Northwest (Washington/Alaska), and Dakota (Northeast Montana/ North and South Dakota). The mine-mouth price projections also provide cost details for the different types and grades of coal mined. 20 W ESTERN E LECTRICITY C OORDINATING C OUNCIL
