5 Cost Effectiveness Method and Pilot Proposal Howard Gugel, Director of Standards Member Representatives Committee Meeting February 10, 2016

6 Background Desire for cost consideration in development Ballot was indirect method Need expressed by some for direct measurement Order of magnitude approach Specific entity cost difficult to estimate Flexibility in how to comply Balance of cost versus risk 2

7 Cost Considerations Risk Focus Two questions to address What is level of cost versus reliability benefit? Can the most cost effective solution be used? 3

8 Proposal Two phases Standard Authorization Request drafting phase Standard development phase Pilot Project : Single Points of Failure TPL-001 Two directives o Risk that six-month threshold could exclude planned maintenance outages o Spare equipment strategy for stability analysis Two questions o What is the risk? o Can it be mitigated cost effective? 4

9 Policy Input Summary Three questions asked Input received February 2,

26 Development of Outreach Plan (cont.) Outreach prior to report release Feedback often incorporated into report Outreach after report release Reinforcement of key messages Support for a new or revised Reliability Standard Emerging reliability risk Reliability considerations Advocacy for reliability in policy setting Enhancements to planning or operations Follow-up through annual long-term reliability assessments 3

27 Example of Coordination of Essential Reliability Services (ERS) Recommendation Board of Trustees Approving recommendations Continue to monitor through special and long-term reliability assessments FERC Working closely to establish needed changes within its authority Addressing recommendations through changes to interconnection requirements, market provisions 4

28 Example of Coordination of ERS Recommendation (cont.) State regulators Ongoing conversation through Member Representatives Committee, Regional Entities, and National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners Ensure understanding of policy influence and implications of resource mix changes Industry Incorporation of recommended industry practices Planning and Operating Committee Form Distributed Energy Resources Task Force to identify risks to Bulk Power System and potential solutions Reliability Guidelines to establish performance requirements 5

29 ERO-Enterprise Outreach and Coordination with States on Clean Power Plan Continuously update assessments as state plans emerge Engage state regulators Coordinate with Regional Entities Distribute assessment and educational materials Conduct annual periodic reliability assessment, multi-plan integration, and interconnection-wide analysis 6
