CASE NO. GNR-E-11-03 DIRECT TESTIMONY OF DR. CATHLEEN M. MCHUGH IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION MAY 4 v 2012 1 Q. Please state your name and business address for 2 the record. 3 A. My name is Cathleen McHugh. My business address 4 is 472 West Washington Street, Boise, Idaho. 5 Q. By whom are you employed and in what capacity? 6 A. I am employed by the Idaho Public Utilities 7 Commission as a Utilities Analyst. 8 Q. What is your educational and professional 9 background? 10 A. I received a Bachelor of Science degree in 11 Economics and Applied Math from the University of Idaho in 12 1995. I received a Ph.D. in Economics from Duke 13 University in 2005 with primary fields in Public Economics 14 and the Economics of Education and with secondary fields 15 in Econometrics (statistics applied to economics), Applied 16 Microeconomics, and the History of Economic Thought. 17 While at Duke University, I taught the 18 undergraduate introductory course on econometrics several 19 times and served as a teaching assistant for the graduate 20 introductory course on econometrics. 21 Between July 2005 and September 2009, I was 22 employed by the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) as an 23 analyst. My duties there included devising and estimating 24 econometric models for use in military manpower analysis. 25 In this capacity, I co-wrote 17 different publications and CASE NO. GNR-E-11-03 McHUGH, C. (Di) 1 5/4/12 STAFF and presented my work at a number of conferences. In 2 October 2009, I transitioned to a position as a CNA Field 3 Representative where I provided analytic support directly 4 to a United States Marine Corps Lieutenant General and his 5 Command. I remained at this position until joining the 6 IPUC in August 2011. 7 My current duties at the Commission include data 8 analysis, modeling, resource planning, rate design, cost 9 of service, and other duties as assigned for electric, 10 gas, and water utilities. 11 Q. What is the purpose of your testimony in this 12 proceeding? 13 A. The purpose of my testimony is to recommend 14 updates to the current Surrogate Avoided Resource (SAR) 15 model. 16 Q. Will you summarize your recommended changes to 17 the model? 18 A. I recommend: 19 a) Using a forecast of natural gas prices from 20 the Energy Information Administration's ("EIA") 21 Annual Energy Outlook report in place of a 22 forecast from the Northwest Power and 23 Conservation Council (NWPCC). I recommend this 24 change because the EIA report is updated more 25 frequently than the NWPCC report. I further CASE NO. GNR-E-11-03 McHUGH, C. (Di) 2 5/4/12 STAFF i propose that the EIA forecast be updated in the 2 SAR model no later than July l of each year. 3 b) Taking the energy and/or capacity needs of a 4 utility into consideration in calculating 5 avoided costs. An earlier version of the SAR 6 model did this by using the "first deficit year" 7 concept. 8 c) Using resource-specific values for 9 determining capacity payments. 10 d) Allowing for avoided costs to reflect the 11 costs of transmission and loss in periods when 12 the utility is in surplus. 13 Natural gas price forecast 14 Q. What is the source for the current SAR model's 15 forecast of natural gas prices? 16 A. Pursuant to Order No. 30480, the current SAR 17 model uses the latest available Northwest Power and 18 Conservation Council's (NWPCC) 20-year forecast of natural 19 gas prices. For years beyond those included in this 20 forecast, the model predicts natural gas prices using 21 exponential growth based on the last ten years of the 22 NWPCC forecast. 23 Q. What are the main differences between this 24 forecast and the forecast of natural gas prices from the 25 EIA's Annual Energy Outlook? CASE NO. GNR-E-11-03 McHUGH, C. (Di) 3 5/4/12 STAFF i A. With regards to the SAR model, there are two 2 differences between the forecasts of note - the frequency 3 of updates and the geographic focus of the updates. 4 Q. How frequently is the NWPCC forecast updated? 5 What is its geographic focus? 6 A. The NWPCC is directed to review its regional 7 power plan forecast at least every five years per the 8 Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation 9 Act. The 15t Power Plan was adopted in 1983. subsequent 10 plans were adopted in 1986, 1991, 1998, 2005, and, most 11 recently, 2010. Included in the development of this plan 12 is a forecast of natural gas prices. 13 The NWPCC forecast of fuel prices can be updated 14 independently of the regional plan; in fact, it was 15 revised in 2011 to reflect "a fundamental shift in 16 expectations about future natural gas supplies." However, 17 there is no set timeline for these types of updates. 18 The NWPCC forecast is a regional forecast for 19 the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and 20 Montana). The forecast includes prices for natural gas 21 delivered to either the west side of the region (west-side 22 delivered) or the east side of the region (east-side 23 delivered). The current SAR model uses the estimate for 24 east-side delivered. 25 Q. How frequently is the EIA forecast updated? CASE NO. GNR-E-11-03 McHUGH, C. (Di) 4 5/4/12 STAFF What is its geographic focus? 2 A. The EIA forecast is updated each spring. It 3 provides forecasts of natural gas prices for all Census 4 divisions of the United States. Idaho falls in the 5 Mountain division (Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, 6 Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico). The specific forecast 7 I recommend using is found in the supplemental tables for 8 regional detail, Table 18: Energy Prices by Sector and 9 Source for the Mountain division/Natural Gas price for 10 Electric Power. This is the delivered fuel price. It 11 should be noted that Avista recommended using the same 12 forecast but for the Pacific division (Washington, Oregon, 13 California, Alaska, and Hawaii). The forecast I propose 14 be used is included as Exhibit No. 301. 15 I have included both the forecasted real price 16 and the forecasted nominal price. In the SAP. model, I use 17 the forecasted nominal price, which eliminates the need to 18 adjust the forecast by any inflation rate. 19 Q. Can you compare the two different forecasts? 20 A. In Exhibit No. 302, I graph four different 21 forecasts of natural gas prices. The first (denoted with 22 circles) shows the most current NWPPC East-Side Delivered 23 forecast. This forecast only extends to 2030 so I also 24 include the estimates that would be used to extend it to 25 2035. These estimates are titled IPUC Estimates based on CASE NO. GNR-E-11-03 McHUGH, C. (Di) 5 5/4/12 STAFF NWPPC data (the line with diamonds). The next forecast is 2 the 2011 EIA forecast for the Mountain region (the line 3 with triangles). Both this forecast and the NWPCC 4 forecast were released around the same time - the EIA 5 forecast was released in the spring of 2011 while the 6 NWPCC forecast was released in summer of 2011. These two 7 forecasts are very similar especially if one excludes the 8 first two years. During the entire period, the forecasts 9 never vary by more than $0.35 and, after the first two 10 years, they never vary by more than $0.15. The IPUC 11 estimates are considerably higher than the EIA forecast - 12 they average almost $0.60 higher. 13 The final forecast shown is the EIA forecast 14 released in the spring of 2012 (the line with squares). 15 Comparing this forecast to the earlier two forecasts 16 illustrates how much can change in a single year. This 17 forecast is always lower than the NWPCC forecast - at one 18 point, it is $0.61 lower. On average, it is $0.32 lower 19 than the NWPCC forecast. In contrast, the 2011 EIA 20 forecast was, on average, $0.07 higher than the NWPCC 21 forecast. 22 In periods of price fluctuations, relying on a 23 forecast that is even a year old can dramatically change 24 the avoided cost computation. In periods of downward 25 trending prices, the computed cost would be too high if CASE NO. GNR-E-11-03 McHUGH, C. (Di) 6 5/4/12 STAFF 1 one relied on a dated forecast. Conversely, in periods of 2 upward trending prices, the computed avoided cost would be 3 too low. Therefore, Staff supports use of the EIA 4 forecast as it will reflect the most current understanding 5 of future natural gas prices. 6 Considering Need in Calculating Avoided Costs 7 Q. How did prior versions of the SAR model take 8 into consideration a utility's need for energy in setting 9 the avoided cost rates? 10 A. A prior version of the SAR model used a "first 11 deficit year" concept. This prior version of the model 12 differed from the current SAR model in that the avoided 13 costs were set equal to "surplus energy rates" for years 14 in which the utility had surplus energy (years prior to 15 the first deficit year). The surplus energy rate was 16 based on wholesale energy rates and was set by Commission 17 order. Avoided costs for years in which the utility was 18 not in surplus were calculated as they are in the present 19 SAR model. 20 Q. Why was the "first deficit year" concept 21 abandoned? 22 A. At the time this was abandoned, Staff expressed 23 concerns that determining the first deficit year was 24 problematic even though the underlying'rationale for it 25 was sound. All together, Staff identified nine areas of CASE NO. GNR-E-11-03 McHUGH, C. (Di) 7 5/4/12 STAFF i concern regarding the determination of the first deficit 2 year. These concerns can be grouped in the following 3 categories: 4 a) There exists too much discretion on the part 5 of utilities to influence the results (Reasons 6 1, 3, 4) . As noted by Avista witness Kalich, 7 this is less true today than in 2002. All the 8 electric utilities file biennual IRPs which are 9 developed with input from the public, 10 regulators, and other interested parties. Thus, ii irregular frequency (Reason 1), the 12 reasonableness of planning assumptions (Reason 13 3), and the possibility of inaccurate load 14 forecasts (Reason 4) can all be addressed in the 15 IRP process. 16 b) The definition of the first deficit year is 17 not clear (Reasons 2 and 5) . At the time, it 18 was not clear whether or not the first deficit 19 year should be based on energy or capacity needs 20 (Reason 2) or whether it should incorporate firm 21 market purchases (Reason 5). The proposed 22 updates take into consideration both energy and 23 capacity needs so Reason 2 is no longer valid. 24 Because it is based on the IRP, the proposed 25 update is consistent with generally accepted IRP CASE NO. GNR-E-11-03 MCHUGH, C. (Di) 8 5/4/12 STAFF 1 methodology in how it treats firm market 2 purchases. 3 c) Using the concept of the first deficit year 4 really does not matter in terms of avoided rate 5 calculation (Reasons 6 and 8), and, 6 d) Market prices can be extremely volatile 7 (Reason 9). Both of these reasons had more to 8 do with the implementation of the concept rather 9 than the concept itself. 10 Q. Are you instituting the "first deficit year" 11 concept exactly as it had been instituted prior to 2002? 12 A. No. The model I recommend identifies years in 13 which a utility is deficient in energy, in capacity, or 14 both. This is based on information from each utility's 15 most recent IRP. If a utility is deficient in energy, 16 then the QF would receive an energy payment. If a utility 17 is not deficient in energy, then the QF would receive an 18 energy payment minus costs for transmission and losses. 19 The previous SAR model did not adjust for transmission and 20 losses. 21 In the recommended model, capacity payments are 22 specific to the resource used by the QF. If a utility is 23 deficient in capacity, then the recommended model examines 24 whether the utility is deficient in summer only, in winter 25 only, or in both seasons. If the utility is deficient in CASE NO. GNR-E-11-03 McHUGH, C. (Di) 9 5/4/12 STAFF a. only one season, then the model bases a resource-specific 2 capacity payment on the ability of that resource to 3 contribute during the deficient season's peak. However, 4 if a utility is deficient in both seasons, then the model 5 bases the resource-specific capacity payment on the 6 ability of that resource to contribute during both 7 seasons' peaks. This is the same methodology suggested by 8 Avista. 9 To clarify matters, consider canal drop QFs. 10 Canal drops can contribute 100 percent of their capacity 11 during the summer peak and 0 percent of their capacity 12 during the winter peak. If a utility is only capacity 13 deficient during the summer, then a canal drop QF receives 14 the full capacity payment. However, if a utility is 15 capacity deficient in only the winter or in both the 16 summer and winter, then the canal drop receives no 17 capacity payment. Allowing capacity payments to differ by 18 resource should encourage development of QFs with 19 characteristics of value to the utilities (such as Us 20 that provide generation during peak hours). 21 Staff concurs with Avista witness Kalich on the 22 basis for capacity payments. In his direct testimony, 23 page 21, lines 5 through 9, Mr. Kalich states: 24 It is not fair to pay one resource with a low capacity factor and an equivalently 25 high on-peak contribution the same per-MWh payment as second base load plant CASE NO. GNR-E-11-03 McHUGH, C. (Di) 10 5/4/12 STAFF 1 operating with a relatively high capacity factor all year round. Using the method, 2 the low capacity factor resource would receive much lower total compensation even 3 though the resource provided the same on- peak capacity benefit to the utility. 4 5 Q. What is the energy payment based on? 6 A. It is based on the cost of fuel and variable 7 operations and maintenance. 8 Q. Avista proposes that energy rates during surplus 9 periods be reduced to account for transmission wheeling 10 costs and losses that the utility would encounter in 11 delivering the QF's energy to a market hub. Do you 12 believe that such reductions in energy rates are 13 justified? 14 A. Yes, I do. If the energy truly is not needed by 15 the utility to meet its own obligations, then it must sell 16 that surplus energy in the market. Wheeling charges and 17 transmission losses are real costs that must be borne by 18 the utility; therefore, it seems appropriate for those 19 costs to be attributed to the QF that is supplying the 20 surplus energy. 21 I recommend that if the Commission believes it 22 is appropriate to reduce energy rates during utility 23 surplus periods then Idaho Power and PacifiCorp also be 24 directed to propose comparable amounts using an approach 25 similar to that proposed by Avista. CASE NO. GNR-E-11--03 McHUGH, C. (Di) 11 5/4/12 STAFF i Q. Do you have projected rates based on your 2 proposed changes to the SAR model? 3 A. Yes. These are included as Exhibit No. 303. It 4 should be noted that the results are preliminary and 5 reflect Staff's understanding of the utilities' positions 6 as of the time of filing this testimony. The calculated 7 rates could change during the course of this case due to 8 corrections, revised fuel forecasts, and changes in long- 9 term commitments. 10 For every resource, the rates for Idaho Power 11 and PacifiCorp are higher than the rates for Avista. This 12 largely reflects the fact that Idaho Power and PacifiCorp 13 are deficient in both energy and capacity earlier than 14 Avista. 15 The rates for canal drop projects are 16 considerably higher for Idaho Power and PacifiCorp 17 compared to other resources primarily because canal drop 18 projects offer capacity during peak summer hours and their 19 capacity payment is spread out over relatively few total 20 hours. This also occurs in the IRP model as discussed by 21 Staff witness Sterling. Canal drop and solar projects 22 have lower rates for Avista compared to the other two 23 utilities because Avista is generally capacity deficient 24 in the winter when neither of these resources produces 25 much energy. CASE NO. GNR-E-11-03 McHUGH, C. (Di) 12 5/4/12 STAFF i Wind projects receive the lowest rates among the 2 different types of resources for all three utilities. 3 This reflects wind's low on-peak capacity factor. 4 Q. Have you reviewed the SAR model submitted by 5 Avista? Do you have any comments on it? 6 A. Yes, I have reviewed the model and I believe 7 there are several minor errors in the model. 8 First, the Avista model assumes an integration 9 charge of $6.50 per MWh for wind and solar projects. 10 However, pursuant to Order No. 30488, the correct 11 integration charge for Avista and Idaho Power is 12 calculated as a percentage of the levelized avoided cost 13 rate with the percent applied dependent on the amount of 14 wind/solar on the system. It cannot exceed $6.50 per MWh 15 but it can fall below that amount. Pursuant to Order No. 16 31021, the integration charge for PacifiCorp is $6.50 per 17 MWh. 18 The second minor issue is that the Avista model 19 levelizes the integration charge. The integration charge 20 should be applied annually to the levelized amount. The 21 third minor issue is that the Avista model fails to 22 properly levelize capital costs. 23 Q. Does this conclude your direct testimony in this 24 proceeding? 25 A. Yes, it does. CASE NO. GNR-E-11-03 McHUGH, C.
