1 d. Make whole payments cannot be quantified until Big Rivers enters into an

2 approved SSR agreement with MISO. Section 4.1 (a) of the Direct

3 Agreement requires Century to pay all cost incurred by Big Rivers if Big

4 Rivers is required to operate one or more of the Coleman units until the

5 SSR is approved.

6 e. Make whole payments cannot be quantified until Big Rivers enters into an

7 approved SSR agreement with MISO. Section 4.1 (a) of the Direct

• 8 Agreement requires Century to pay all cost incurred by Big Rivers if Big

9 Rivers is required to operate one or more of the Coleman unit/units until

10 the SSR is approved. The MATS capital equipment will not be

11 reimbursed by MISO or Century unless the SSR agreement is extended

12 beyond June 1,2014.

13 f. As stated in Case No. 20 12-00535, all costs associated with Coleman were

14 included in Big Rivers’ revenue requirement; however, the avoidable costs

15 of Wilson were not included, as Wilson was originally assumed to be

16 idled. As described in Exhibit Berry Rebuttal-2 in Case No. 2012-00535,

17 the fixed operating costs savings associated with idling Coleman is

1 8 approximately $90,000 ($91,426) greater than the fixed operating costs

1 savings included in the requested rate adjustment, thus there is essentially

2 no rate impact due to the idling of Coleman in the case. This is the

3 difference in Big Rivers’ total cost of service with Coleman idled instead

4 of Wilson. As such, it should be assumed that no avoidable costs for

5 Coleman are included in the rate request. The depreciation, taxes, and

6 interest associated with Coleman plant were included in the requested rate

7 adjustment and are not avoidable even if the unit is idled. The

$ CONfIDENTIAL must-run analysis for the Coleman plant is provided in

9 an attachment to Big Rivers’ response to AG 1-1. This analysis shows

10 detailed costs for the Coleman Station. Costs by unit are not available.

11 g. MISO will utilize section 38.2.7.j of its tariff to determine how and from

12 whom it will recover the make whole payments made to Big Rivers for the

13 Coleman units designated as SSRs. The areas identified in the non-

14 binding Attachment Y-2 report for the cost allocation are Big Rivers

15 Electric Corporation (BREC) (91.63%), Southern Indiana Gas & Electric

16 (SIGE) (4.52%), Ameren Illinois (AMIL)(3.75%) and Duke Energy

17 Indiana (DEl) (0.10%). Please see response to KIUC item 1-2 for the

3 allocation will be determined by MISO as part of the Attachment Y,

4 “Notification of Potential Resource/SCU Change of Status,” and

5 Attachment Y-1, “Standard Form Support Supply Resource (“SSR”)

38.2.7 System Support Resources Version: 2.0.0 Effective: 9/24/2012

System Support Resource (SSR) procedures provide a mechanism for the Transmission

Provider to enter into agreements with Market Participants that own or operate Generation

Resources or Synchronous Condenser Units (SCUs) that are required by the Transmission

Provider to maintain reliability of the Transmission System, if all or a specified portion of the

capacity of such Generation Resources or SCUs would otherwise either Retire or Suspend.

The SSR procedures include: (a) a requirement that any Market Participant planning to

Retire or Suspend, all or a portion of a Generation Resource or SCU located within the

Transmission Provider Region for reasons other than a Generator Planned Outage must notifi

the Transmission Provider of such events by submitting a completed Attachment Y to the

Transmission Provider documenting the proposed plans for such Generation Resource or SCU, at

least twenty-six (26) weeks prior to taking such actions; (b) Market Participants must submit all

necessary information to enable the Transmission Provider to evaluate whether SSR Unit status

is appropriate for such Generation Resource or SCU; (c) if the Transmission Provider determines

that SSR Unit status is justified for a Generation Resource or SCU, the Transmission Provider

and such Market Participant shall enter into an SSR Agreement, in accordance with the

Attachment Y-1 form of agreement; (d) the SSR Unit will be operated in accordance with the

terms of the SSR Agreement, which contains detailed terms and conditions regarding operation

and compensation of such Generation Resource or SCU and the allocation of costs; (e) costs to

compensate an SSR Unit will be allocated to the LSE(s) that benefits from the operation of the

SSR Unit; and (f) the Transmission Provider shall periodically review the reliability

requirements of the Transmission Provider Region and shall determine which, if any, SSR

Agreements should be extended..

a. SSR Unit Notification Procedures. A Market Participant shall complete and deliver to

the Transmission Provider Attachment Y, Notification of Potential Generation Resource or SCU

Change of Status, at least twenty-six (26) weeks prior to Retiring or Suspending all or a portion

of a Generation Resource or a SCU that it either owns or operates, except as provided below.

The provisions of Section 38.2.7 do not apply to: (1) Generation Resources and SCUs that are in

forced outage or forced derate status; (2) Generation Resources and SCUs that are requesting, or

are not available due to, a Generator Planned Outage; (3) Behind the Meter Generation

Resources; or (4) Generation Resources that are identified as needed for Blackstart by a

Transmission Operator. Section 38.2.7 shall not modifi or alter a Transmission Operator’s

obligations under the Tariff to identify Blackstart Units that are included in a System Restoration

Plan, or a Blackstart Unit Owner’s obligations to comply with the terms of any Blackstart Service

agreement, in accordance with Schedule 33, or the requirements of Commission approved

reliability standards.

Market Participants that own or operate Generation Resources or SCUs that are not directly

interconnected to the Transmission System shall notif,’ the Transmission Provider in accordance

with Section 3 8.2.7(a) if the Market Participant plans to Retire or Suspend such facilities. The

Transmission Provider shall coordinate with the entity to which the Generation Resource or SCU

is directly connected to determine whether the Generation Resource or SCU is necessary for

reliability of the Transmission System.

The Transmission Provider shall treat Attachment Y as Confidential Information until the

Attachment Y reliability analysis is completed and the study results are disclosed to the Market

Participant.

The Transmission Provider shall respond to the Market Participant within twenty (20) weeks

Page 15: the - KY PSC Home cases/2013-00221/20130711...2013/07/11  · 2013-00221 Response to the Kentucky Industrial Utility Customers, Inc. s Initial Request for Information dated July 2,

with the results of the study completed in response to the Attachment Y. A Market Participant

certifies by submitting an Attachment Y that such Market Participant has made a definitive

decision to Retire or Suspend a Generation Resource or SCU and the Attachment Y shall be

executed by an officer of the owner or operator of the Generation Resource or SCU attesting to

the facts supporting that claim, who has the legal authority to bind such Market Participant.

The Transmission Provider shall notify the Market Participant prior to publicizing the

Attachment Y request and study results that the Attachment Y analysis is complete, however, the

Transmission Provider shall not provide any information related to the study or study results to

the Market Participant at that time. The Market Participant may rescind its Attachment Y

submission by notifying the Transmission Provider of such rescission via electronic

communication and certified mail not more than five (5) business days afler receiving notice

from the Transmission Provider that the Attachment Y analysis is complete, in which case the

confidentiality of the Attachment Y shall be preserved. If a Market Participant rescinds an

Attachment Y submission, then such Market Participant shall not receive the results of the study

and such Market Participant shall pay the Transmission Provider 100% of the costs that the

Transmission Provider has incurred in conducting an Attachment Y analysis up until the date of

such rescission. Once a response is provided by the Transmission Provider to the Market

Participant, the Transmission Provider shall promptly post on OASIS: (1) that an Attachment Y

was submitted; and (2) whether the Transmission Provide?s study concluded that the Generation

Resource or SCU was required for the reliability of the Transmission System. An owner or

operator of a Generation Resource or SCU that notifies the Transmission Provider of a definitive

decision to Suspend may only modify its decision to Suspend by submitting a request to the

Transmission Provider that demonstrates significantly changed legal, regulatory, or economic

conditions justifying modification of an Attachment Y Suspend decision. fn determining

whether the Generation Resource or SCU may return prematurely from suspension, the

Transmission Provider will evaluate factors, including, but not limited to: (1) any reliability

impacts if the Generation Resource or SCU operates differently than planned for by the

Transmission Provider based on the Attachment Y notification; and (ii) costs that the

Transmission Provider, or other Market Participants, may incur as a result of such modified

operations. After the Transmission Provider has posted on OASIS that a Generation Resource or

SCU is required for the reliability of the Transmission System, the owner or operator of such

facility may modify the effective date of a definitive decision to Retire or Suspend if: (I) the

Transmission Provider has determined that demand response, generation or transmission

expansion alternatives are required; and (2) the owner or operator of the Generation Resource or

SCU agrees in writing with the Transmission Provider to continue to operate the facility without

entering into an SSR Agreement until the alternative(s) have been implemented to maintain the

reliability of the Transmission System.

b. Notification of the Outage Scheduler After Submittal of Attachment Y. After receipt

of an Attachment Y, the Transmission Provider shall schedule such outage notification through

the Transmission Provider’s Control Room Operations Window (“CROW”) outage scheduling

system, or successor system, to coordinate the outage planning of a Generation Resource or SCU

through CROW, on behalf of the Market Participant.

c. Evaluation of SSR Unit Application. The Transmission Provider will perform an

Attachment Y reliability analysis to determine whether the Generation Resource or SCU is

necessary for the reliability of the Transmission System based on the criteria set forth in the

Business Practices Manuals, but will not determine in this initial analysis the available

Page 17: the - KY PSC Home cases/2013-00221/20130711...2013/07/11  · 2013-00221 Response to the Kentucky Industrial Utility Customers, Inc. s Initial Request for Information dated July 2,

alternatives to designating the Generation Resource or SCU as an SSR Unit. The Transmission

Provider shall post the determination of reliability need on the Transmission Provider’s OASIS.

Before entering into an SSR Agreement with any Generation Resource or SCU, the Transmission

Provider shall assess, in an open and transparent planning process in accordance with the

provisions of the Transmission Expansion Planning Protocol Attachment fF to the Tariff,

feasible alternatives to the proposed SSR Agreement. The list of alternatives to SSR Unit status

that the Transmission Provider shall consider and expeditiously approve as applicable include

(depending upon the type of reliability concern identified): (i) redispatchlreconfiguration

through operator instruction; (ii) remedial action plans; (iii) special protection schemes initiated

upon Generation Resource trips or unplanned Transmission Outages; (iv) committed demand

response or Generator alternatives; and (v) transmission expansions. In assessing applicability

for SSR status, the Transmission Provider will not require continued operation when the

continued operation of a portion or all of Generation Resources or SCUs would be contrary to

applicable law, regulations, or court or agency orders (such as a settlement with an

environmental agency or a consent decree approved by a court). In performing the Attachment

Y reliability analysis and any planning studies to assess feasible alternatives to an SSR

Agreement, the Transmission Provider shall collaborate with the affected Transmission Owners

and NERC-registered Transmission Planners, and if appropriate, may consult with a retained

consultant. The Transmission Provider will appropriately identify any Confidential Information

regarding a Retire or Suspend decision before the Transmission Provider transfers such

information to any entity. An entity that receives Confidential Information must agree in writing

to maintain such confidentiality, to comply with any confidentiality obligations owed to

comply with applicable Standards of Conduct found in 18 C.F.R. § 358. The Transmission

Provider will reasonably assist the owner or operator of a potential SSR Unit in working with

regulatory agencies to obtain environmental waivers or exemptions to the extent necessary to

maintain the reliability of the Transmission System. The Market Participant that owns or

operates the Generation Resource or SCU subject to review under this section shall provide the

Transmission Provider in a timely manner with all necessary data, including but not limited to,

engineering data required to enable the Transmission Provider to evaluate whether such

Generation Resource or SCU qualifies as an SSR Unit.

d. Execution of SSR Agreement. The Transmission Provider shall enter into an SSR

Agreement with the Market Participant owning or operating an SSR Unit in accordance with

Attachment Y-1. The Transmission Provider wilt file an SSR Agreement with the Commission

for approval if the Transmission Provider’s analysis determines that the Generation Resource or

SCU is required for reliability of the Transmission System. All potentially affected parties will

receive notification of such Commission filing. During the period that a Generation Resource or

SCU is subject to an executed Attachment Y-1 agreement, it shall qualify as an SSR Unit. SSR

service is a contracted service between the Market Participant that owns or operates an SSR Unit

and the Transmission Provider and shall be for a term of twelve (12) months, unless the

Transmission Provider requires a different term. The Transmission Provider must have available

the entire capacity specified in the SSR Agreement of each SSR Unit.

e. Operation of SSR Unit. Once the Transmission Provider has entered into an SSR

Agreement with a Generation Resource or SCU, the Transmission Provider shall have the right

to dispatch the SSR Unit at any time for reliability of the facilities within the Transmission

Provider Region. The Transmission Provider shall make every attempt to minimize the use of an

SSR Unit. The Transmission Provider will dispatch the SSR Unit as early as possible once

conditions are identified that require the use of the SSR Unit and will make best efforts to

minimize the uneconomic dispatch of the SSR Unit(s). The SSR Agreement found in

Attachment Y to this Tariff shall provide for equitable compensation to an SSR Unit when it is

dispatched by the Transmission Provider.

f. Scheduling Rules for SSR Units. No later than 1000 hours EST the day prior to the

Operating Day, the Transmission Provider shall notify Market Participants with SSR Units as to

the quantity (in MW andlor MVAR) and time period of Energy, Operating Reserve and/or Other

Ancillary Services required from each SSR Unit.

g. SSR Unit Participation in Markets. A Market Participant may offer Energy or

Ancillary Services from SSR Units into the Day-Ahead Energy and Operating Reserve Market,

RAC, or Real-Time Energy and Operating Reserve Market during times when the Transmission

Provider has not requested the Market Participant to run the SSR Unit at full capacity unless this

would impair the ability of the SSR Unit to provide the Energy, Operating Reserve or Other

Ancillary Services when requested by the Transmission Provider.

Market Participants that own or operate an SSR Unit shall not use the SSR Unit to: (i)

participate in Interchange Schedules; (ii) except for plant auxiliary Load obligations under

the SSR Agreement, use the SSR Unit as a Self-Scheduled Resource to submit Self-

Schedules for Energy and/or Operating Reserve; (iii) submit Self-Schedules for Other

Ancillary Services, if applicable, to the extent that Other Ancillary Services are required by

the Transmission Provider under this Section; and (iv) participate in the Energy and

Operating Reserve Markets, except for incremental Offers of additional Capacity beyond

the amount designated by the Transmission Provider as necessary for reliability purposes

to the extent allowed in the SSR Agreement.

h. SSR Unit Compensation.

i. The Transmission Provider will propose appropriate compensation for the

Market Participant owning the Generation Resources or SCUs deemed to be SSR Units.

Prior to the execution of the SSR Agreement, the Transmission Provider will negotiate with

the Market Participant to determine the level of compensation due the Market Participant

for the SSR Unit. The Market Participant will receive appropriate compensation for any

fixed operations and maintenance expenses that could have been avoided throngh a Retire

or Suspend decision for the entire period of time that an SSR Agreement is in effect for a

portion or all of the Generation Resource or SCU that is required for reliability of the

Transmission System as an SSR Unit. Compensation for an SSR Unit shall commence on

the date that the Generation Resource or SCU commences operation as an SSR Unit.

ii. The SSR Agreement will provide compensation only for going forward costs.

The Transmission Provider will evaluate, at a minimum, the following factors in

negotiating compensation for an SSR Unit: (a) fixed and variable operating and

maintenance costs to existing equipment; (b) applicable state, federal, local or property

taxes; and (c) non-capital costs of any environmental waivers, allowances, and/or

exemptions that are obtained by the SSR Unit and not otherwise recoverable by the SSR

Unit owner or operator. Any compensation to the SSR Unit will be reduced by payments

under Schedule 2 of this Tariff, payments under resource adequacy programs, infra

marginal rents from Energy and Operating Reserve Market transactions, and any other

compensation paid under the market or via other contractual arrangements.

i. Termination of Interconnection Rights. Except as provided in Attachment X or any

applicable agreement for the interconnection of the Generation Resource or SCU, the

Transmission Provider shall tile with the Commission to terminate the interconnection

rights to the Transmission Provider’s system held by an owner or operator of a Generation

Resource or SCU that certifies by submitting an Attachment Y that it plans to Retire a

Generation Resource or SCU upon the latter of: (1) the current termination date specified

in an SSR Agreement, even if the Transmission Provider gives prior notice of an earlier

termination of an SSR Agreement; or (2) the Retire date certified by a Market Participant

in Attachment Y. The owner or operator of such resource may retain its interconnection

rights and continue to operate after the conclusion of an SSR Agreement or the Retire date

certified in the Attachment Y if: (1) substantial changes to applicable law, regulations, or

court or agency orders pursuant to which the owner or operator of the Generation

Resource or SCU originally relied upon in submitting the Attachment Y, occur either

during the term of the SSR Agreement or during the time between the submission of an

Attachment Y and the specified Retire date that significantly affect the economic operation

of the resource; or (2) the owner or operator of an SSR Unit planning to Retire a facility

simultaneously submits with Attachment Y a request for interconnection pursuant to

Attachment X of another facility or an increase in capacity of an existing facility at the

identical point of interconnection, with a Commercial Operation Date within thirty-six (36)

months of the Retire date of the existing Generation Resource or SCU, in which case the

interconnection rights may be transferred to the new facility upon successful completion of

the applicable interconnection procedures under Attachment X. If the owner of an

Generation Resource or SCU that submitted an Attachment Y to Retire falls to terminate

operation of such facility and the Transmission Provider has approved construction of

Transmission System upgrades that were necessitated by such facility’s Retire plans (and

such upgrades were approved by the Transmission Provider’s Board of Directors as

Appendix A projects), then the owner of the Generation Resource or SCU that planned to

Retire shall be allocated the costs of such Transmission System upgrades necessitated by

the planned unavailability of the facility.

j. Allocation of SSR Unit Costs. The costs pursuant to the SSR Agreement shall be

allocated to LSE(s) which require(s) the operation of the SSR Unit for reliability purposes, and

shall be specified in the SSR Agreement. For the purposes of this Section, any SSR Unit costs

allocated to the footprint of the American Transmission Company shall be allocated to all Market

Participants within the footprint of the American Transmission Company on apro rata basis.

k. Annual Review of SSR Unit Status. On at least an annual basis, the Transmission

Provider will review Generation Resource or SCU characteristics to determine whether the

Generation Resource or SCU is qualified to remain as an SSR Unit in coordination with a review

of the Transmission Provider’s annual regional transmission expansion plan in accordance with

Attachment FF. If an SSR Unit continues to be required for reliability of the Transmission

System, then the Transmission Provider will have the unilateral right to enter into a subsequent

SSR Agreement by providing the Market Participant at least ninety (90) days advance notice

prior to the termination date of the existing SSR Agreement and by negotiating and filing a new

SSR Agreement at the Commission. If not, the SSR Agreement will expire by its own terms and

the Generation Resource or SCU will lose its SSR Unit status and will either Retire or resume

suspension in accordance with the Attachment Y request.

Generation Resource or a SCU may request suspension pursuant to the provisions of this Section

38.7.2 for a maximum of 36 cumulative months during any five (5) year period. A Market

Participant owning or operating a Generation Resource or a SCU that had been granted a

suspension pursuant to an Attachment Y request for less than thirty-six (36) cumulative months,

or that has been operating under an SSR Agreement for less than thirty-six (36) cumulative

months, may request an extension to such time limits by submitting a new Attachment Y request

twenty-six (26) weeks prior to the end of the originally granted period or the termination date

specified in the SSR Agreement, provided that the combined period of the originally granted

period, or the period of operation under an SSR Agreement, and the extension is not greater than

thirty-six (36) months.

m. Non-Binding Informational Studies. A Market Participant owning or operating a

Generation Resource or a SCU may complete Attachment Y-2 to request that the Transmission

Provider conduct a study to determine whether it is likely that a portion or all of such Generation

Resource of SCU would qualify as an SSR Unit. The Transmission Provider will collaborate

with the affected Transmission Owners and NERC-registered Transmission Planners, and if

appropriate, will consult with a retained consultant to evaluate whether the facility is required for

the reliability of the Transmission System. The Transmission Provider will appropriately

identify any Confidential Information regarding a Retire or Suspend decision that the

Transmission Provider transfers to any entity. An entity that receives Confidential Information

must agree in writing to maintain such confidentiality, or to any confidentiality obligations owed

to Transmission Provider under the Tariff or related non-disclosure agreement, and to comply

with applicable Standards of Conduct found in 18 C.f.R. § 358. The Market Participant will not

be bound to the change of status indicated in an Attachment Y-2 request. Along with a

the deposit and completed Attachment Y-2, unless an alternative period is mutually agreed to.

The Transmission Provider shall treat Attachment Y-2 as Confidential Information until the

Attachment Y-2 reliability analysis is completed and the study results are disclosed to the Market

Participant. The Transmission Provider shall notify the Market Participant prior to publicizing

the Attachment Y-2 study results that the Attachment Y-2 study is completed, however the

Transmission Provider shall not provide any information related to the study or study results to

the Market Participant at that time. The Market Participant may rescind its Attachment Y-2

submission by notifying the Transmission Provider of such rescission via electronic

communication and certified mail not more than five (5) business days after receiving notice

from the Transmission Provider that the Attachment Y-2 study is complete, in which case the

confidentiality of the request for an Attachment Y-2 study shall be preserved. If a Market

Participant rescinds an Attachment Y-2 study request, then such Market Participant shall not

receive the results of the study and the Market Participant shall pay the Transmission Provider

100% of the total costs incurred in conducting the study up until the date of such rescission.

Once a response is provided by the Transmission Provider to a Market Participant, the

Transmission Provider shall promptly post on OASiS the fact that an Attachment Y-2 request

was made and the determination by the Transmission Provider k’hether the Generation Resource

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

MISO received an Attachment Y-2 Request for Non-Binding Study Regarding Potential SSRStatus (Attachment Y-2 Request) from Big Rivers Electric Corporation (BRPS) on December 18,2012. The request was for MISO to determine the reliability impact of the potential Suspensionof Coleman Units 1 & 2 & 3 from August 20, 2013 to January 1, 2015. Attachment Y-2 analysisis performed as a non-binding assessment of potential reliability issues due to the Suspension orRetirement of a Generation Resource. The results of the study are not definitive and the analysisis intended only to provide information to the Market Participant (MP) to assist them inevaluating their options. However, it does not commit the Market Participant to proceed withplans for Suspension or Retirement.

The study results indicate that potential reliability issues exist that would require the need forColeman Units 1, 2 and 3 to enter into an System Support Resource (SSR) Agreement if amitigation plan is not developed and implemented prior to the potential unit change of status, inaccordance with Section 3 8.2.7 of the MISO Open Access Transmission, Energy & OperatingReserve Markets Tariff (“Tariff’). In addition to determining if reliability issues result from thesuspension, further analysis was performed to identify the areas that are subject to allocation ofthe SSR costs. The areas identified for the cost allocation are Big Rivers Electric Corporation(BREC), Southern Illinois Gas & Electric (SIGE), Ameren Illinois (AMIL), and Duke EnergyIndiana (DEl).

I. INTRODUCTION

.

Big Rivers Electric Corporation, submitted an Attachment Y-2 “Request for Non-Binding StudyRegarding Potential SSR Status”. Unlike the Attachment Y, an Attachment Y-2 Request is foran informational study to evaluate the potential for a unit to be designated as an SSR and doesnot commit the Market Participant to proceed with plans to Retire or Suspend. This study of theColeman Generation Units 1, 2 and 3 determined the reliability impacts that would occur if theseunits were to be removed from service on August 20, 2013 and return to service on January 1,2015. With Coleman generation unavailable during this period of time, the study will alsoaddress the reliability impacts of two scenarios: 1) Century Aluminum ceases operation onAugust 19, 2013 and 2) Century Aluminum continues normal operations.

II. STUDY OBJECTIVES

Under Section 3 8.2.7 of MTSO’s Tariff, SSR procedures maintain system reliability by providinga mechanism for MISO to enter into agreements with Market Participants that own or operateGeneration Resources or Synchronous Condenser Units (SCUs) that have requested to eitherRetire or Suspend, but are required to maintain system reliability.

The principal objective of an Attachment Y-2 study is to determine if the units for which achange in status is requested are necessary for system reliability based on the criteria set forth inthe MJSO Business Practices Manuals. The study work included monitoring and identifying thesteady state thermal/voltage violations on transmission facilities due to the unavailability of theGeneration Resource. The relevant MISO Transmission Owner andlor regional reliabilitycriteria were used for monitoring such violations.

III. MODELS AND ASSUMPTIONS

Corresponding to the anticipated suspension of the Coleman Units 1, 2, & 3 the following powersystem analysis source models were used for the study:

• 2014 SummerPeak• 2017 SummerPeak• 2017 Shoulder

The Attachment Y study models were created following the MISO Transmission PlanningBusiness Practice Manual (BPM-020-r$) Section 6.2.2. This includes creating a set of modelsfrom each source model in which the units being studied are at full generation or taken out ofservice.

IV. STUDY CRITERIA AND METHODOLOGY

Siemens PTI’s Power System Simulator for Engineering (PSS/E) and Managing and UtilizingSystem Transmission (MUST) were used to perform AC contingency analysis. Contingencyanalysis is the study of transmission system facility outages. Outages of transmission facilitiesare applied to a mathematical model of the transmission system in order to calculate the effectson the remainder of the system. The models were solved with automatic control of Load TapChangers (LTCs), phase shifters, DC taps, switched shunts enabled (regulating), and areainterchange disabled. The results are compared to determine if there were any criteria violationsdue to the change in the status for the unit(s).

a) 5% of the “to-be-retired” unit(s) MW amount (i.e. 5% Power Transfer DistributionFactor (PTDf)) for a “base” violation compared with the “before” retirementscenario, orb) 3% of the “to-be-retired” unit(s) amount (i.e. 3% Outage Transfer DistributionFactor (OTDF)) for a “contingency” violation compared with the “before” retirementscenario.

• Under system intact and contingent events, high and low voltage violations are only validif the change in voltage is greater than 1% as compared to the “before” retirement voltagecalculation.

c. Contingencies

A subset of the MISO Transmission Expansion Plan (MTEP) contingencies in the central regionwas used for AC contingency analysis. Additional contingencies from TVA, LG&E, and AECIwere included in this analysis to provide coverage for events on those adjacent transmissionsystems.

The following North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Categories ofcontingencies were evaluated:

1. Category A when the system is under normal conditions.2. Category B contingencies resulting in the loss of a single element.3. Category C contingencies resulting in the loss of two or more (multiple) elements.4. Maintenance outage condition with forced outage during shoulder load conditions.

V. STUDY RESULTS

a. Branch Results (Appendix A Table Ia)

Table 1 a in Appendix A shows contingent conditions causing branch criteria violations withoutColeman Units I & 2 & 3 and the improvements resulting from the operation of Coleman UnitsI & 2 & 3. Contingent events causing branch violations include NERC Categories B, Cl, C2,and C3. While the study scenario with Century Aluminum off does indicate fewer constraints,there remain a few thermal loading issues resulting from Category C contingencies that exist inthe MISO Transmission system even with the load removed.

b. Voltage Results (Appendix A Table Yb)

Significant voltage criteria violations associated with the suspension of Coleman Units 1, 2, & 3and continued operation of Century Aluminum were identified when compared to the continuedavailability of the units. Table I in Appendix A shows contingent conditions causing criteriaviolations without Coleman Units 1, 2, & 3 and the improvements resulting from the operation ofColeman Units 1, 2, & 3. Contingent events causing voltage criteria violations include NERCCategories B, Cl, C2, and C3. The acceptable post-contingency voltage range is between 0.92per unit to 1 .07 per unit. Therefore, voltages less than 0.92 or greater than 1 .07 per unit are a

criteria violation. If Century Aluminum were to cease operations, with a load of 0 MVA, thevoltage issues within the MISO would be eliminated.

VI. POTENTIAL SSR AGREEMENT COST ALLOCATION

MISO utilizes a load shed methodology to determine the reliability benefits to each MISO LocalBalancing Area (LBA) of operation, without the SSR unit(s). Although load shed is notpermitted for NERC Category A or B events, this methodology determines the load shed amountneeded to relieve all Category B reliability issues and the most severe Category C reliabilityissues identified, as a proxy for the reliability benefit of the SSR unit operation. The potentialSSR Agreement LBA shares that were calculated for this Attachment Y-2 study are includedbelow in Table 2.

Table 2: Potential SSR Agreement LBA Shares

LBA Load Shed (MW) LBA ShareBREC 1541.84 91.63%SIGE 76.11 4.52%

AMIL 63.02 3.75%DEl 1.72 .10%Total 1682.69 100.00%

VII. CONCLUSION

The study results indicate that potential reliability issues exist which would require the need forColeman Units 1, 2 and 3 to enter into an SSR Agreement if a mitigation plan is not developedand implemented prior to the potential unit change of status, in accordance with Section 38.2.7 ofthe MISO Open Access Transmission, Energy & Operating Reserve Markets Tariff (“Tariff’). Inaddition to determining if reliability issues result from the suspension, further analysis wasperformed to identify the areas that are subject to allocation of the SSR costs. The areasidentified for the cost allocation are Big Rivers Electric Corporation (BREC), Southern IllinoisGas & Electric (SIGE), Ameren Illinois (AMIL), and Duke Energy Indiana (DEl).

14 Response)

15 a. During Big Rivers’ evaluation to determine which unit (Coleman or

16 Wilson) to idle, it considered both current and future environmental

17 regulations. The cost to retrofit Coleman to comply with MATS is

18 approximately three times the cost for Wilson to comply with MATS.

Likewise, Wilson is compliant with both the proposed Coal Combustion

2 Residual (CCR) regulation and the proposed 316 (a) and (b) regulation,

3 whereas Coleman will potentially require capital investments to comply

4 with each of these proposed regulations.

5 b. At this time, if Big Rivers idles one or more of the Coleman units it will

6 not install the MATS equipment on the idled units unless the SSR extends

7 beyond June 1, 2014. The MATS equipment will be installed prior to

$ restart after April of 2015, if and when the economics support restart of

1 Item 5) Refer to page 5 lines 18-22 of Mr. Berry’s Rebuttal Testimony in case No.

2 2012-00535 wherein Ite states that whether Coleman is idled or Big Rivers is required to

3 operate coleman as an SSR, “it wilt not cattse a meaningfitt financial impact on the rate

4 adjustment Big Rivers seeks in this proceedbtg.” Please describe and provide a copy of all

5 analyses that supports this statement.

6

7 Response) As stated in Section V of my Rebuttal Testimony, pages 17 through 20, the rate

8 adjustment requested in case No. 2012-00535 is based on Wilson being idled and Coleman

9 operating. Whether Coleman is idled or operating under an S$R, the financial impact for Big

10 Rivers is substantially the same, so the choice will not have a material effect on the requested

11 rate adjustment. The fixed operating costs savings associated with idling Coleman is

12 approximately $90,000 greater than the fixed operating costs savings included in the requested

13 rate adjustment.

14 I also testified during the evidentiary hearing on July 2, 2013, that the proposed

15 transaction has the potential to impact the requested rate adjustment depending on whether or

16 not a SSR is required of the Coleman plant. If a SSR is required then the severance costs

17 requested in Case No. 2012-00535 will be deferred until the SSR terminates. Also if Century

12 operates at the Base Load amount, Big Rivers will receive transmission revenue from Century.

I In either scenario, it is Big Rivers’ intention to pass along to its Members any benefit above

7 Response)

$ a. For many years, Century has advised Big Rivers that the cost of electric

9 service to Century is the most important variable in the cost of production

10 of aluminum by the Hawesville Smelter and thus the most important

11 variable in determining whether the Hawesville Smelter can remain

12 economically viable. Offsetting the SSR cost with the transmission

13 revenue will allow Century to reduce the operating cost of the smelter

14 until such time as it can install the equipment necessary to allow the

15 Coleman plant to be temporarily idled. This was a very significant issue

16 for Century during the contract negotiations.

Rivers, Kenergy and Century. If the Hawesville Smelter closes, Big

2 Rivers will not receive the transmission revenue in question. Century is

3 obligated to pay all SSR Costs incurred by Big Rivers, even those

4 attributable to others if Big Rivers does not actually receive payment from

5 those other entities. Further, continued operation of the Hawesville

6 Smelter generates additional benefits to Big Rivers and Kenergy through

7 the indirect economic boost associated with continued operation of other

8 businesses in western Kentucky and the approximately 600 people who

9 retain their jobs. Ultimately, Big Rivers made a business judgment that

10 the financial consequence of the Hawesville Smelter closing outweighed

11 the offset of some transmission revenue credit during the SSR period.

12 c. The SSR Costs are costs that will be incurred by Big Rivers.

13 d. The referenced statement in my Direct Testimony states the reasons why

14 Big Rivers believes it is reasonable under the circumstances to allow

1 takes an enormous amount of time to properly document. There is no

2 Kenergy tariff under which Kenergy can provide retail electric service for

3 the Century smelting load after August 19, 2013. So the only alternative

4 for providing service to the Century smelting load upon the expiration of

5 the current agreement is under the proposed arrangements. If Century

6 ceases smelting, Kenergy would still need a contract like the Alternate

7 Service Agreement to provide electric service to Century. But if

8 Kenergy has no Commission-approved set of contracts in place on a

9 timely basis, Kenergy will have no authority to continue providing service

10 to Century upon the expiration of the current agreement.

11 If Century elects to continue smelting at Hawesville, then Kenergy

12 could supply retail electric service from a Market Participant other than

13 Big Rivers. However, with no such alternate Market Participant in place,

14 Kenergy caimot reasonably do so. Kenergy is only required to provide

15 service if it can reasonably do so pursuant to KRS 278.030, and only has a

16 right to do so if it has a Commission-approved rate schedule under which

1 7 the service can be provided.

Application is enclosed for reference purposes, and to provide you with thebest available description of the Century Transaction and the documents forwhich Big Rivers seeks RUS review.

The documents submitted in draft form for RUS review are:

Arrangement and Procurement Agreement between Big Rivers andKenergy (Application Exhibit 5). This agreement is the basicwholesale power agreement between Big Rivers and Kenergy for theCentury Transaction. A summary of this agreement can be found inthe Application, pages 6 and 7. This agreement is further describedin the testimony of Big Rivers’ Chief Operating Officer, Robert W.Berry (Exhibit 3, pages 15, and 22-24). Mr. Berry’s testimony alsocontains details about the entire Century Transaction. TheArrangement and Procurement Agreement is a back-to-backagreement with the Electric Service Agreement, which is the retailservice agreement between Kenergy and Century. The ElectricService Agreement is described in the testimony of Kenergy’sPresident and CEO, Gregory J. Starheim (Exhibit 3, pages 7-14).

Direct Agreement between Big Rivers and Century (ApplicationExhibit 6). This agreement provides for Century to pay Big Riverscertain expenses incurred by Big Rivers, even if Big Rivers is nolonger the Market Participant under the Arrangement andProcurement Agreement and Kenergy is obtaining wholesale powerfor resale to Century from a source other than Big Rivers. Asummary of this agreement can be found in the Application, page 7.This agreement is further described in the testimony of Mr. Berry(Exhibit 3, pages 16, and 25 and 26).

Wholesale Letter Agreement (Application Exhibit 14). The WholesaleLetter Agreement supplements the all-requirements wholesale powercontract between Big Rivers and Kenergy in connection with BigRivers’ provision of wholesale electric service to Kenergy for deliveryunder the proposed Alternate Service Agreement with Century(Application Exhibit 13). The Alternate Service Agreement providesa reduced amount of retail electric service (10 MW) to the Centurysmelter facility if smelting operations cease. The Alternate ServiceAgreement and the Wholesale Letter Agreement are described in theApplication (pages 5 and 10-11), the testimony of Mr. Starheim

(Exhibit 2, pages 23-24) and in the testimony of Mr. Berry (Exhibit 3,page 21). The Alternate Service Agreement and the Wholesale LetterAgreement are forms of agreements that Kenergy and Big Rivers useregularly.

Enclosed with this letter are the following documents:

o Six certified counterparts of an excerpt from the minutes of themeeting of the Big Rivers board of directors on May 17, 2013, atwhich Big Rivers’ management was authorized to negotiate and enterinto documents in connection with the Century Transaction;

o Six certified counterparts of an excerpt from the minutes of themeeting of the Kenergy board of directors on June 11, 2013, at whichKenergy was authorized to sign the Wholesale Letter Agreement andthe Arrangement and Procurement Agreement;

o Six draft copies of the Arrangement and Procurement Agreement;

o Six draft copies of the Direct Agreement;

o Six draft copies of the Wholesale Letter Agreement; and

o Three copies of the Application.

Please note that the RUS Administrator has been provided one copy of thesedocuments, and the RUS Power Supply Division has been provided themultiple, original signed counterparts of the documents listed above.

Timing is very critical in the Century Transaction. The three documents forwhich RUS review is sought must be approved and executed by the partiesbefore the existing agreements under which Century is taking electricservice expire at the end of the day on August 19, 2013. When the existingagreements terminate, if other agreements have not been approved andexecuted by the parties, neither Kenergy nor Big Rivers have any legalauthority to continue providing electric service to Century, and by lawservice to Century’s smelter must be disconnected.

. Big Rivers understands that the documents presented for RUS review arepart of a complex transaction. If at any point it would be helpful for

JOINT APPLICATION OF KENERGY CORP. ANDBIG RIVERS ELECTRIC CORPORATION

FOR APPROVAL OF CONTRACTS AND FOR A DECLARATORY ORDERCASE NO. 2013-00221

Response to the Kentucky Industrial Utility Customers, Inc.’sInitial Request for Information -

dated July 2, 2013

July 11, 2013

1 Item 14) If Big Rivers were unable to obtain the approval of RUS for the Century

2 Transactions, or f Big Rivers were unable to enter into the Jentury Transactions upon a

3 failure to resolve the existiitg creditor agreement default issue between Big Rivers and CfC,

4 does Ken ergy believe that ttte proposed Centtiiy Transaction could be restructured with a

5 Member of MISO other than Big Rivers? Explain in detail whether such a restrttcturillg

6 with a Member ofMISO other thait Big Rivers would be possible.

7

8 Response) Kenergy, Big Rivers and Century spent much time analyzing how the proposed

9 transaction would be implemented in time for it to be effective prior to August 19, 2013. The

10 conclusion of all three parties was that the only way the transaction could be closed by that

11 date was through the structure set forth in the Transaction Documents with Big Rivers initially

12 serving as the Market Participant. Even given the advantage of the parties’ intimate history

13 and knowledge of each other, the transaction took more than five (5) months of intensive

14 negotiation and document drafting to put together the documents submitted with the

15 Application. To bring in a new party at this late date likely would require a substantial delay.

16 Any new commercial requirements of that party likely would disrupt the delicate balancing of

17 the parties’ interest in the documents. As an example, the handling of the must run condition

18 of Coleman was a critical part of the negotiations. Only Big Rivers has the ability to provide

2 contemplate that a Market Participant other than Big Rivers could succeed to that role

3 following compliance with the provisions relating to the appointment of a successor Market

4 Participant. Yet, even the selection of a Market Participant other than Big Rivers would not

5 affect the existence of term of the Direct Agreement and protections to Big Rivers relating to

Response to the Kentucky Industrial Utility Customers, Inc.’sInitial Request for Information

dated July 2, 2013

July 11, 2013

I Item 15) Assuming the consent of Century, would Kenergy and Big Rivers be witting to

2 agree to a temporary extension of the existing Retail Electric Services Agreement and the

3 existing Wholesale Electric Service Agreement for the purposes of (a,) allowing the

4 commission more time to examine the implications of the proposed century Transaction,

5 and (b) allowing time for Big Rivers to obtain the approval of RUS and to resolve the credit

6 agreement default issue with CFc?

7

8 Response) Assuming the consent of Century, Kenergy and Big Rivers would be willing to

9 agree to a temporary extension of the existing contractual arrangements. Any such extension

10 of those agreements would need to be submitted to RUS for its approval prior to their effective

11 date. Given the date, however, the RUS 60 day period to determine whether it objects to entry

12 into the agreements extending the current agreements would be problematic because absent

13 prior approval by RUS, Big Rivers would not be able to enter into any such arrangements.

14 Extension of the existing agreements would also require other creditor consents, arrangements

15 for credit support from Century, and Commission approval of all arrangements that come

16 under its jurisdiction. Kenergy and Big Rivers believe accomplishing amendment of the

17 agreements as suggested would be practically impossible given the short time left between now

18 and the termination of the current Century retail service agreement.

Response to the Kentucky Industrial Utility Customers, Inc.’sInitial Request for Information

dated July 2, 2013

Ju1y 11, 2013

1 Item 16) Does Kenergy contemplate that the Commission would retain regulatory

2 oversigltt over the pricing and other contractual terms of a Bilateral Agreement between

3 Kenergy and a third party Market Participant? If so, explain whether the necessity of

4 obtaining Commission approval of a Bilateral Agreement would adversely affect the ability

5 of the Hawesvilte Smelter to obtain market based pricing.

6

7 Response) Kenergy believes the Commission would have jurisdiction over a Market

$ Agreement between Kenergy and a Market Participant. Kenergy does not believe that the

9 Commission would have jurisdiction over a bilateral agreement between a Market Participant

10 and a wholesale power market counterparty. If the Commission determines that it has

11 jurisdiction over a bilateral agreement, the answer as to whether this interferes with the ability

12 of the Hawesville Smelter to obtain market based pricing depends upon how quickly the

13 bilateral agreement must be in place. Approval of a multi-year bilateral agreement would not

14 hinder the ability of the Hawesville Smelter to obtain market based pricing once the bilateral

15 agreement is approved. But if access to market pricing is based upon short term or day-ahead

16 transactions that would be problematic to implement if Commission approval is required. This

17 could perhaps be alleviated by putting in place a process similar to how Supplemental Energy

18 Transactions are handled under Kenergy’s Tariff 57.

1 Item 17) If Big Rivers were to be successful in setting Plant Wilson, how would that

2 action affect the “must rttn” status of Plant Coleman or otherwise affect the economic

3 drivers that are embedded in the proposed (‘entury Transaction? Do the documents in the

4 proposed Century Transaction providefor appropriate modUlcations in ternis and conditions

5 upoit a sale ofPlant Wilson by Big Rivers? If not, why itot?

6

7 Response) The sale of the Wilson plant will have no effect on the “must run” $SR status of

8 the Coleman plant. The SSR determination of a specific plant is based on system reliability,

9 not ownership of the generating units. The Century Transaction does not provide for

10 modifications in terms and conditions due to the sale of the Wilson plant. The Wilson plant

11 has no direct impact to the Century Transaction, therefore, no terms were negotiated to modify

12 the agreements due to the sale of the Wilson plant.

2 action affect the “must run” status of Plant Coleman or otherwise affect tlte economic

3 drivers that are embedded in tite proposed Century Transaction? Do the documents in the

4 proposed Century Transaction providefor appropriate modfications in terms and coitditioits

5 upon a sate ofPlant Coleman by Big Rivers? Ifnot, why not?

6 Response) The sale of Plant Coleman would not affect the “must-run” status of the facility.

7 Whether the facility is required to operate for reliability purposes is not affected by who owns

8 the facility. A sale of Plant Coleman also would not affect the recovery by Big Rivers of any

9 SSR Costs under the Direct Agreement to the extent those costs are incurred by Big Rivers and

10 to the extent the Direct Agreement provides for the recovery of the particular costs from

11 Century. Century’s obligations to reimburse Big Rivers for the costs subject to the Direct

12 Agreement to the extent provided in the Direct Agreement do not terminate. Recovery of any

13 amounts flowing through the “Applicable RTO Charges” similarly would not be affected to the

14 extent Big Rivers remained the Market Participant. Further, the transaction documents also

15 contemplate circumstances where Plant Coleman is not operating. For these reasons, without

16 other assumptions regarding changes in circumstances, Big Rivers does not believe the

17 transaction documents would need to be modified if Plant Coleman was sold.
