CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)2 11/20/17 STAFF l In addition,I address whether or not the 2 Company's proposal for the project is a least-cost and 3 least-risk alternative for meeting a system capacity 4 deficit projected to occur in the year 2028. 5 Q.Could you please summarize your testimony? 6 A.Yes.Although not needed to meet system capacity 7 requirements until 2028,I believe that the new wind and 8 transmission project as presented by the Company could be 9 the least cost,least risk alternative to meet future 10 resource needs over the next 30 years.I believe the 11 assumptions used by the Company in its economic analysis 12 fall within a reasonable range and support the Company's 13 proposal. 14 The Company completed an analysis to determine 15 the net benefit difference between the proposed project, 16 and a baseline across nine alternative futures with 17 different natural gas forecasts and CO2 prices. 18 Results for seven of nine alternative future 19 scenarios show a net benefit to customers when compared to 20 the baseline alternative.Assuming there is an equal 21 probability that each scenario will occur,the expected 22 value of the net benefit difference is about $191 million 23 in favor of the project (see Exhibit No.101). 24 A significant portion of economic benefit 25 associated with the new wind and transmission project CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)311/20/17 STAFF l occurs as a result of the Company's reliance on capturing 2 100 percent of the federal wind Production Tax Credits 3 (PTCs).Without receiving the full benefit from the PTCs, 4 the project economics would not be beneficial to customers. 5 I maintain that risks and uncertainties can be 6 categorized into one of two groups:those the Company can 7 control and those it cannot.Project risks that the 8 Company can control include overall project costs and 9 timely project completion.Project risks that the Company 10 cannot control include changes in corporate tax rate, 11 future natural gas prices,and CO2 mitigation costs. 12 I believe the Company must protect customers from 13 risks that it can control and look to mitigate those risks 14 that are beyond its control,primarily with respect to 15 corporate tax rate changes. 16 Successful completion of the new wind and 17 transmission project by the Company is subject to 18 significant risk because the project has a "time-limited 19 opportunity"tied to qualifying for the $24 per megawatt- 20 hour PTC benefit by year end 2020.Completing the project 21 by the deadline is within the Company's control. 22 A potential change to the corporate tax rate as 23 proposed in legislation currently being considered by 24 Congress could make the project uneconomical before 25 construction even begins. CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)411/20/17 STAFF 1 To reduce risk whether within or outside the 2 Company's control,the Company should continually assess 3 the liability posed by the various risks to reduce,limit, 4 or prevent negative impacts on customers. 5 Q.Please provide a summary of the Company's 6 proposed project. 7 A.The Company proposes to construct or acquire new 8 Wyoming wind resources with a total capacity of 860 9 megawatts.The Company has submitted a request for 10 proposal seeking competitive bids.The Company plans to 11 bid directly into this proposal with four projects of its 12 own that the Company identifies as benchmark resources. 13 The Company also proposes construction of a 140- 14 mile segment of the Energy Gateway West transmission 15 project from Aeolus-to-Anticline in southern Wyoming.This 16 500 kV transmission line will include upgrades and improved 17 interconnection to several sub-stations along the route. 18 The Company presents this project as a "time- 19 limited opportunity"to obtain cost-effective generation 20 and construct the necessary transmission facilities with 21 minimal impact to customer rates.The Company states that 22 without the new PTC qualified wind,the transmission 23 project would not be economic. 24 Q.What is your perspective of the Company's need 25 for this project? CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)511/20/17 STAFF 1 A.The 2017 IRP indicates that the Company does not 2 require added system capacity until 2028.The Company's 3 conclusion is based on its 13 percent planning-reserve 4 margin,assumed coal unit retirements,incremental energy 5 efficiency savings,and available wholesale-power market 6 purchases. 7 Aside from this lack of current need,if the 8 Company delivers the project as described,the new wind and 9 transmission project would provide benefit to customers by 10 providing lower cost energy to the system,provide improved 11 transmission system reliability,and would add diversity to 12 the Company's generating resources. 13 I believe that in implementing the new wind and 14 transmission project there are numerous and significant 15 risks.If not properly mitigated,the result could be a 16 project that is not beneficial to customers. 17 Q.What is your opinion regarding the Company's 18 method for evaluating the economics of the project? 19 A.I believe the Company's method for economically 20 evaluating the project is reasonable and in several ways 21 conservative.The Company compared the relative system net 22 present value revenue requirement difference (PVRR(d)) 23 between operating with the project and operating without 24 the project over the investment's 30-year useful life.The 25 Company also calculated the PVRR(d)across nine different CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)611/20/17 STAFF 1 alternative futures including different combinations of 2 low,medium,and high natural gas price forecasts,and 3 zero,medium,and high carbon dioxide prices to understand 4 their economic impact. 5 The analysis and assumptions used in this case 6 were based on the Company's 2017 IRP.The project is also 7 included in the Company's 2017 IRP preferred portfolio as a 8 result of its analysis. 9 Q.What is your assessment of the Company's 10 methodology used to determine the difference in net 11 benefits between the project and the baseline? 12 A.I believe the factors selected and the 13 methodology used to evaluate the cost effectiveness and 14 risk in the Company's analysis are reasonable.The 15 Company's approach is similar to the methodology used for 16 the 2017 IRP. 17 There are two factors that make the Company's 18 results conservative.First,the Company used 300 19 megawatts of low cost PTC qualified wind generation as a 20 proxy to utilize 240 megawatts of existing transmission 21 capacity in its baseline alternative.In actuality there 22 are PURPA qualified facilities which have priority for 23 interconnection.Replacing the 300 megawatts of wind proxy 24 resources with PURPA qualified generation would increase 25 the revenue requirements in the baseline because the proxy CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)711/20/17 STAFF 1 wind receives PTC benefits making the costs much lower than 2 the PURPA projects.This would result in a more beneficial 3 PVRR(d)for the new wind and transmission case. 4 Second,the Company did not reflect any benefit 5 for the sale of RECs associated with new wind generation. 6 The Company indicates the present value benefit to the 7 project through 2050 would increase by $34 million (Link 8 direct testimony,p 4)for every dollar assigned to the 9 incremental RECs generated from new wind.When considering 10 the adjustments for PURPA wind and the value of RECs,all 11 nine scenarios would show a positive economic benefit to 12 customers. 13 Q.What is the benefit of the Production Tax Credit 14 and why is it important to project economics? 15 A.The Company's analysis shows the present value 16 benefit of the PTCs for the project through 2050 is $795 17 million (Link,Exhibit 25).The amount is conditioned on 18 recovering 100 percent of the PTC benefit.The PTC value 19 is one of the most important factors for providing economic 20 benefit to customers.If the project is not operational by 21 December 31,2020,each year of delay reduces the PTC 22 benefit by 20 percent.A reduction of the benefit by just 23 one year or 20 percent equates to a present value reduction 24 of the PTC benefit by $159 million.This reduction would 25 make the project uneconomic ($137 million PVRR(d)benefit CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)811/20/17 STAFF l minus $159 million reduction to PTC benefit)costing 2 customers $22 million based on the medium natural gas and 3 CO2 pricing forecasts which are used to support the 4 Company's Application. 5 Q.What are the project risks that prevent the 6 Company from realizing full PTC benefits? 7 A.In order for the Company to be eligible for the 8 full PTC benefit,each project must meet specific 9 requirements prior to January 1,2017.Beginning 10 construction is the most visible way to meet eligibility 11 requirements.Alternatively,the Company has relied on a 12 five-percent Safe Harbor option in order to satisfy the 13 requirements.The Company has both contracted directly 14 with a wind turbine manufacturer and a developer for the 15 Company's four proposed benchmark resource sites to capture 16 the Safe Harbor.However,any change to the current 17 interpretation of the five-percent Safe Harbor rule may put 18 PTCs at risk. 19 Based on the current status of the Company's 20 benchmark sites,the projects will need to be operational 21 by December 31,2020.Although the Company seems confident 22 it can meet this date,there are numerous steps that need 23 to be completed.The Company indicates that the 24 transmission line is on the critical path for meeting the 25 operational deadline.In order to complete the CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)911/20/17 STAFF 1 transmission portion of the project,the Company still 2 needs to secure the remaining federal permits,Wyoming 3 approval of a CPCN,and secure the remaining transmission 4 rights of way. 5 Securing the remaining wind turbine equipment and 6 the potential for construction delays could add even more 7 risk to capturing full PTC benefits from the project. 8 Q.Is the amount of wind energy used to support the 9 Company's economic analysis reasonable? 10 A.Yes,I believe the amount of wind energy assumed 11 in the Company's Application is reasonable for the four 12 benchmark resource sites. 13 I reviewed several factors tied to the 14 reliability of wind turbine generators,wind turbine 15 efficiency,and the average wind velocity for the area 16 considered for the Company's proposed benchmark sites. 17 Industry datal 2 indicates the mechanical 18 availability of modern wind turbines to be almost 97 19 percent.This value represents the percent of time a wind 20 turbine generator is available to generate whether or not 21 22 1 GE's Onshore Wind Services -GE Renewable Energy 23 https://www.gerenewableenergy.com/content/dam/gepower-renewables/global/en_US/downloads/brochures/wind-onshore- 24 services-gea31819b.pdf; 2 Siemens -Harnessing opportunities for better results 25 https://www.siemens.com/global/en/home/markets/wind/service .html CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)1011/20/17 STAFF 1 the wind is blowing.This high availability can be 2 attributed to the continued advancement in wind turbine 3 technology,industry requirements for wind turbine 4 generator reliability,and mechanical operational data from 5 the large installed base of wind turbines placed into 6 service in recent years.If the Company's wind turbine 7 generators are properly operated and maintained,this 8 equipment should perform equivalent to those currently 9 operated within the industry. 10 Based on information from the National Renewable 11 Energy Laboratory (NREL)for south central Wyoming,the 12 area (at a specified hub height 80 meters above the surface 13 elevation)has an average annual wind speed near or above 14 10 meters per second.NREL also provides wind related 15 capacity factors for some of the existing sites within the 16 area.These capacity factors are consistent with values 17 used by the Company for its economic analysis. 18 Q.Should the Company be held responsible for 19 mitigating the risk associated with qualifying for full PTC 20 benefits? 21 A.I believe the Company is responsible for 22 mitigating the risks in order to qualify for full PTC 23 benefits because the factors of success are within the 24 Company's control.In order to satisfy the Safe Harbor 25 requirements,the Company is responsible for insuring that CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)1111/20/17 STAFF l five percent of the capital cost were expended prior to the 2 year 2017.Furthermore,the Company is responsible for 3 meeting a schedule the Company developed to insure the new 4 wind and the transmission are operational by December 31, 5 2020. 6 Q.Have the Company's actions demonstrated its 7 commitment to achieving full PTC benefits? 8 A.Yes.It's evident the Company understands the 9 project economics rely on achieving full PTC benefits and 10 considers the risk acceptable given its application to the 11 Commission requesting a CPCN.The Company's Application is 12 supported by significant analysis related to the economics 13 of the project and likewise has committed to a compressed 14 schedule for completing the project prior to the December 15 31,2020 PTC deadline.In addition,the Company has 16 committed significant capital in order to qualify for the 17 five-percent Safe Harbor requirements. 18 The Company is also in the midst of completing a 19 request for proposal for PTC qualified wind projects,which 20 the Company is bidding into based on its benchmark 21 resources.In total,these actions reflect the Company's 22 commitment to an expected successful outcome of the 23 project. 24 Q.Are there any other considerations related to 25 meeting the December 31,2020 deadline? CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)1211/20/17 STAFF 1 A.In order to capture the full PTC benefit,the 2 Company faces significant pressure to meet the December 31, 3 2020 deadline.Any delay to the project will serve to 4 further compress the schedule.This is especially true for 5 any delays to the construction of the transmission line, 6 given that the transmission line is on the critical path 7 for full operation of the project.The combination of hard 8 deadlines and project uncertainties can lead to delays 9 which can only be remedied by increasing cost,authorizing 10 overtime,and adding incremental resources.This risk will 11 adversely affect capital cost and cost effectiveness to 12 customers if not mitigated. 13 Q.How much additional transmission capital 14 investment makes the project no longer economically 15 beneficial to customers? 16 A.Based on the Company's model,if the $681 million 17 capital investment for the transmission portion of the 18 project increases by 24.8 percent,the project is no longer 19 beneficial to customers.This analysis is based on the 20 medium natural gas and CO2 pricing forecasts which are used 21 to support the Company's Application. 22 Q.Are there factors that are outside of the 23 Company's control? 24 A.Yes.There are several,but three risk factors 25 pose the greatest risk to the economic viability of the CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)1311/20/17 STAFF l project:changes to the corporate tax rate,the price of 2 natural gas,and changes to the price of CO2. 3 Q.Can you please characterize the risk created by 4 changes in the corporate tax rate and how it can be 5 mitigated? 6 A.If corporate income tax rates are lowered from 7 the current rates assumed in the Company's economic 8 analysis,there will be a significant negative impact for 9 two reasons:1)a lower income tax rate could significantly 10 reduce the PTC benefit amount,and 2)the Company has 11 little control of the circumstances other than exiting the 12 project if the new rates cause the project to be 13 uneconomic.Corporate tax reduction is currently a high 14 priority in Congress. 15 The Senate and House currently have proposed 16 legislation to reduce the corporate tax rate somewhere in 17 the 20 percent to 25 percent range.If this occurs,it 18 would significantly reduce the PVRR(d)of the project 19 primarily by reducing the after-tax benefit of the PTC. 20 For example,if the corporate tax rate was reduced from 21 current levels to 20 percent,the net present value of the 22 PTC's over the ten-year eligibility period would be reduced 23 from $795 million to $627 million making the project much 24 less economically viable. 25 There is a good chance the outlook for reducing CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)1411/20/17 STAFF 1 the corporate income tax will be known before the Company 2 commits to significant capital expenditure.To mitigate 3 this risk,the Company needs to monitor corporate tax rate 4 status.If tax rates are reduced,the Company should be 5 required to make a filing with the Commission for 6 additional review before proceeding with the project. 7 Q.Can you please characterize the risk created by 8 natural gas prices and how it can be mitigated? 9 A.Yes.The risk is that actual natural gas prices 10 turn out to be lower than those assumed in the Company's 11 analysis.This makes the next best alternative,which 12 includes gas-fired generation,more beneficial in 13 comparison to the proposed project.While natural gas 14 prices can have a large impact on project economics,the 15 Company used a reasonable range of natural gas price 16 forecasts and are somewhat conservative with respect to 17 what future natural gas prices will actually be.This 18 conservative natural gas price assumption will likely 19 result in greater project benefits than those estimated by 20 the Company.For example,the Company evaluated the 21 project using low,medium,and high natural gas price 22 forecasts.The Company's PVRR(d)results for the different 23 forecasts,keeping the CO2 price constant to isolate the 24 effects of natural gas,are reflected in the table below. 25 CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)1511/20/17 STAFF 1 Modeled Scenario PVRR(d) 2 Low Gas,Medium CO2 $93 million 3 Medium Gas,Medium CO2 ($137)million 4 High Gas,Medium CO2 ($351)million 5 6 As can be seen from the table,different natural 7 gas forecasts have a large effect on the economics of the 8 project.The low natural gas price forecast results in a 9 project that costs more than the Company's next best 10 alternative,but costs less for both the medium and high 11 forecasts. 12 The range of natural gas forecasts used in its 13 analysis are conservative when compared to the most recent 14 Energy Information Administration (EIA)forecasts.As can 15 be seen in the chart below,the Company's forecasts are 16 largely and consistently lower than EIA's forecasts through 17 2036. 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)1611/20/17 STAFF 1 Comparison of Natural Gas Forecasts 2 (2017 EIA Annual Energy Outlook Forecasts to Pacificorp Proposals) $16 00 3 8 9 ---Adocted Mediurn---Adopted High Adopted Low 10 --2017 Ref 6:^2017 Lo EiA ==2017 Hi EIA 11 There is very little that can be done to mitigate 12 changes in the price of natural gas once the project is 13 implemented.The only mitigation measure that the Company 14 can take is to re-evaluate natural gas prices and other 15 circumstances just prior to commitment of capital and 16 determine if an alternative course of action is warranted. 17 Q.Can you characterize the risk created by CO2 18 prices and how it can be mitigated? 19 A.Yes.The risk is that the actual cost to 20 mitigate CO2 is lower than that assumed in the Company's 21 analysis.This makes the Company's next best alternative 22 more economical when compared to the proposed project. 23 While CO2 prices can have a large impact on the economics 24 of the project,the Company used a conservative and 25 reasonable range of CO2 prices that support the Company's CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)1711/20/17 STAFF 1 proposal.Given that current CO2 prices are relatively 2 non-existent,any increase in CO2 prices moving forward 3 will only make the proposed project more economical when 4 compared to available alternatives. 5 For example,the Company evaluated the project 6 economics on three different CO2 price forecasts:zero, 7 medium,and high.The zero price assumes no cost of CO2 8 throughout the project's life.The medium price forecast 9 ranges from $3.41 to $14.40 per ton and the high forecast 10 ranges from $4.73 to $38.42 per ton through year 2036. 11 The Company's PVRR(d)results for the different 12 forecasts,keeping the natural gas price constant to 13 isolate the effects of CO2 pricing,are reflected in the 14 table below: 15 Modeled Scenario PVRR(d) 16 Medium Gas,Zero CO2 $(53)million 17 Medium Gas,Medium CO2 ($137)million 18 Medium Gas,High CO2 ($317)million 19 20 As can be seen by the table,different levels of CO2 21 price have a large effect on the economics of the project. 22 The Company's next best alternative uses natural gas-fired 23 generation to fill the capacity deficit which makes system 24 costs higher compared to the new wind and transmission 25 project when considering increasing CO2 prices. CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)1811/20/17 STAFF l Because the Company uses zero priced CO2 as its 2 low case scenario,the Company has provided an evaluation 3 which represents a reasonable "worst case"in terms of CO2 4 pricing and project economics.Given the "worst case" 5 scenario as a starting point,the Company's analysis 6 provides an accurate evaluation of risk across a full range 7 of CO2 prices. 8 Because future implementation of Federal CO2 9 regulations are uncertain,there is little the Company can 10 do to mitigate future CO2 price risk.However,any future 11 legislation that increases the price on carbon emissions 12 would improve the economics of the proposed project. 13 Q.What project risks that are within the Company's 14 control? 15 A.The Company is in direct control of: 16 a)maintaining Safe Harbor qualification; 17 b)meeting regulatory requirements; 18 c)risks tied to the schedule for both the new wind 19 and transmission as it relates to capturing 100 20 percent of the PTC benefit; 21 d)costs tied to development and construction of the 22 new wind and transmission project;and 23 e)life cycle performance and availability of the 24 assets through proper operation and maintenance. 25 Q.Is it appropriate for the Company to protect CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)1911/20/17 STAFF l customers from risks within its control? 2 A.Yes.The project is only economical for 3 customers if the project is constructed as proposed. 4 Customers should not be responsible for project costs if 5 the Company fails to complete the project at reasonable 6 cost and on schedule to obtain the necessary PTCs. 7 Q.What project risks are not in the Company's 8 control? 9 A.The Company does not have control of: 10 a)future pricing of natural gas; 11 b)future pricing of the CO2 cost; 12 c)future market price of electricity;and 13 d)any change to corporate tax legislation after 14 significant capital investment. 15 Q.Does this conclude your testimony in this 16 proceeding? 17 A.Yes,it does. 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07 KELLER,R.(Di)2011/20/17 STAFF Analysis based on equal probabilityof outcome Reference -Link direct testimony,p38,Table 3:Annual RevenueRequirement PVRR (d) No consideration of RECs Scenario Natural Gas CO2 Probability Annual Annual Percentage Company Expected PVRR(d)Value (Million) (Million) 1 Low Zero 11.1%$174 $19 2 Low Medium 11.1%$93 $10 3 Low High 11.1%($194)($22) 4 Medium Zero 11.1%($53)($6) 5 Medium Medium 11.1%($137)($15) 6 Medium High 11.1%($317)($35) 7 High Zero 11.1%($341)($38) 8 High Medium 11.1%($351)($39) 9 High High 11.1%($595)($66) ($191) Note:Negative numbers represent benefit to customers Exhibit No.10] Case No.PAC-E-17-07 R.Keller,Staff 11/20/17 CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT I HAVE THIS 20TH DAY OF NOVEMBER 2017, SERVED THE FOREGOING DIRECT TESTIMONY OF RICHARD KELLER,IN CASE NO.PAC-E-17-07,BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF,POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE FOLLOWING: TED WESTON YVONNE R HOGLE ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER ASSISTANT GENERAL COUNSEL 1407 WEST NORTH TEMPLE STE 330 ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER SALT LAKE CITY UT 84116 1407 WN TEMPLE STE 320 E-MAIL:ted.weston@pacificorp.com SALT LAKE CITY UT 84116 E-MAIL:yvonne.hoele@pacificorp.com DATA REQUEST RESPONSE CENTER RANDALL C BUDGE E-MAIL ONLY:RACINE OLSON NYE &BUDGE datarequest@pacificorp.com PO BOX 1391 POCATELLO ID 83204-1391 E-MAIL:reb@racinelaw.net BRUBAKER &ASSOCIATES RONALD L WILLIAMS 16690 SWINGLEY RIDGE RD #140 WILLIAMS BRADBURY PC CHESTERFIELD MO 63017 PO BOX 388 E-MAIL:kiverson consultbai.com BOISE ID 83701 bcollins consultbai.com E-MAIL:ron williamsbradbury.com ELECTRONIC ONLY ELECTRONIC ONLY JIM DUKE KYLE WILLIAMS IDAHOAN FOODS BYU IDAHO E-MAIL:iduke@idahoan.com E-MAIL:williamsk@byui.edu ELECTRONIC ONLY ERIC L OLSEN VAL STEINER ECHO HAWK &OLSEN NU-WEST INDUSTRIES INC PO BOX 6119 E-MAIL:val.steiner agrium.com POCATELLO ID 83205 E-MAIL:elo@echohawk.com ANTHONY YANKEL BRADLEY MULLINS UNIT 2505 333 SW TAYLOR 12700 LANE AVENUE SUITE 400 LAKEWOOD OH 44107 PORTLAND OR 97204 E-MAIL:tony@vankel.net E-MAIL:brmullins mwanalytics.com SECRET Y CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
