EXHIBIT A
City of Vernon
Public Utilities Department's
Resource Adequacy Plan
Calendar Year 2019
Background:
The Resource Adequacy provisions of the CAISO's Tariff require the Scheduling Coordinator
("SC") of a Load Serving Entity ("LSE") such as the City of Vernon to establish and submit
the following information upon approval from its Local Regulatory Authority. (1) a Coincident
Peak Demand Forecast for its load, (2) a Planning Reserve Margin, (3) the Qualifying Capacity
Criteria that will be used for determining qualifying resource types and the Qualifying Capacity
from such resources, (4) an annual and monthly Resource Adequacy and Supply data, and (5)
a list of the resource that will be used to satisfy the LSE's Local Capacity Requirement and
Flexible Resource Adequacy Capacity Requirement showing.
Staff has prepared this "City of Vernon Public Utilities Department's Resource Adequacy Plan
for Calendar Year 2019 consistent with the CAISO Tariff requirements. The following is a
discussion of each of the CAISO Tariff requirements and how the City will meet each
requirement.
Coincident Peak Demand Forecast:
Vernon's municipal load resides within the CAISO control area. The CAISO, as the balancing
authority, has the responsibility for meeting reliability criteria established by the Western
Electricity Coordinating Council ("WECC"). As such the CAISO has entered into agreements
with various market participants including, but not limited to, Generators, Scheduling
Coordinators, Participating Transmission Owners, Utility Distribution Companies, and
Metered Subsystems ("MSS"), which impose certain responsibilities on parties to establish a
reliable system. One of those responsibilities is to have operating reserves that meet the WECC
minimum requirements.
The CAISO's goal in considering reserve requirements is to balance available capacity with
demand across the entire CAISO control area and, therefore, CAISO's primary concern is with
the time and amount of peak demand on the CAISO-controlled transmission system (the
"system peak"). In order to reduce demand during the period of the system peak (and,
therefore, to lower the peak demand on the transmission system), utilities generally offer retail
rate structures designed to encourage load shifting away from the on -peak period. Such efforts
are intended to achieve on -peak demand reduction and lower the need to build new generation
to meet peak demand. Vernon has adopted such a rate structure and has succeeded in shifting
the peak demand period for Vernon's system to a time that is generally earlier than the time of
the CAISO system peak.
Vernon's share of needed capacity to meet CAISO control area capacity requirements may be
established by determining the amount of Vernon's load that contributes to the CAISO system
peak. Vernon's load that contributes to the CAISO system peak is the City of Vernon
Coincident peak Demand. The process to establish Vernon's monthly coincident peak Demand
Forecast consists of the following three steps:
1. Establish Monthly Vernon System Peak Demand Forecast for 2019
To establish Vernon's System peak demand forecast, Staff performs an analysis on the year
to year change in the City's energy demand peaks during a five year period. Based on the
results of the analysis, staff forecasts a load growth rate for the coming calendar year
(Exhibit 1). This year's analysis shows that for the period between 2014 and 2018, the
City of Vernon system peak demand has decreased 1.1%. Closer review of Exhibit 1
reveals that the decreases in system peak demand from 2017 to 2018 is 1.05%. Based on
the current load trend, Staff concluded that a 1.0% load decrease is an appropriate forecast
for calendar year 2019. Exhibit 2 shows the determination of the projected system peak
demand for 2019 that incorporates a 1.0% load decrease. The projected system peak
demand for the City of Vernon is also shown below in Table 1.

2. Establish Coincidental Peak Factor
The coincidental peak factor is the percentage of the City of Vernon's energy demand at
the time of the CAISO system peak demand. As set forth in Section 40 of the CAISO
Tariff, the coincidental peak factor for each month has been calculated and provided to the
City annually by the California Energy Commission (CEC). The monthly coincidental peak
factor is shown in column C of Exhibit 3.
3. Calculate Monthly Coincident Peak Demand Forecast
The City of Vernon's Coincident Peak Demand forecast is calculated as the mathematical
product of the City of Vernon's forecasted System peak demand and the coincidental peak
factor. This reflects the City of Vernon's projected demand at the time of the CAISO
system peak demand for each month. The monthly coincident peak Demand Forecast is
calculated and listed in column D of Exhibit 3 for the period of January through December
2019. It is also shown below in Table 2.

Planning Reserve Margin
The Planning Reserve Margin is the amount of Resource Adequacy Capacity that an LSE must
maintain above its coincident peak Demand Forecast. Historically, the City of Vernon has
established its Planning Reserve Margin at 15%. Staff recommends that the City Council
maintain the Planning Reserve Margin at 15%. The 15% Planning Reserve Margin is used to
establish the monthly Resource Adequacy obligation for the City of Vernon as listed in column
E of Exhibit 3.
ualifvina Canaci
A Load Serving Entity must provide the CAISO with a description of the criteria that will be
used to determine the type of resources that can be used to meet its capacity obligation and the
amount of capacity (Qualifying Capacity) from such resources. Historically Vernon has used
the following criterion to determine whether a resource qualifies: It qualifies if Vernon has a
contractual right to the power or has an interruptible service agreement with a customer. The
six following resources are among those that meet this criterion and provide Qualifying
Capacity. The calculation for the amount of Qualifying Capacity the six eligible resource types
follows:
1. CAISO IST-enabled Product. Power supply contract/s entered through WSPP
Agreement (MRTU Amendment) and defined as any SC -to -SC traded product for
which an IST (Inter -SC Trades) can be submitted and for which CAISO will make
payment or issue an invoice, including Energy, Tier I IFM Bid Cost Recovery
Obligations and Ancillary Service Obligation trades, as each defined in the Tariff.
2. Palo Verde. Vernon Purchase Power Contract with SCPPA for 4.9% of SCPPA's share
of Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (Palo Verde) shall be eligible as Qualifying
Capacity. The power is scheduled as an import generally at Westwing Substation
through the CAISO's entitlement of transmission from Westwing to SP-15.
3. Boulder Canyon. Contract NO 16-DSR-12650 between United States Department of
Energy Western Area Power Administration Boulder Canyon Project and City of
Vernon, California for Electric Service shall be eligible to count as Qualifying
Capacity. The power is scheduled as an import at Mead Substation generally through
the CAISO's entitlement of transmission from Mead Substation to SP-15. The amount
of Qualifying Capacity will be based on the most current schedule for the available
capacity from the Boulder Canyon Project at the time of submittal of the Resource
Adequacy Plan.
4. Vernon Units. Generating units and system units (but excluding Vernon diesel
generating units) within Vernon's MSS including the Malburg Generating Station and
the City owned H. Gonzalez units, as reflected in Schedule 14 of Vernon's MSS
Agreement with CAISO shall be eligible to count as Qualifying Capacity. The amount
of Qualifying Capacity of such units shall not exceed the Net Qualifying Capacity
(NQC) as determined and listed annually by the CAISO.
5. Long Term Power Purchase Contracts. Long term power supply contracts (5 years or
greater) entered through a power purchase agreement shall be eligible to count as
Qualifying Capacity. The amount of Qualifying Capacity will be based on the City of
Vernon's percentage share of the contracted capacity quantity. For the upcoming year,
the following contracts will count as Qualifying Capacity, Antelope DSR 1 Solar
Project, Astoria 2 Solar Project and Puente Hills Landfill Gas -To -Energy Facility.
6. Other Units. All other capacity from a Participating Generator, a System Unit, or a
System Resource, as defined in the CAISO Tariff, shall be eligible as Qualifying
Capacity. System Resources, however, must have a firm transmission path from source
to the CAISO control area. Such criteria for firm transmission facilities over the
CAISO control area can be satisfied with the possession of a firm transmission right
from the CAISO on the path associated with the System Resource. Firm transmission
rights provide physical priority right to schedule over congested paths.
7. Interruptible Service Agreements. Interruptible Service Agreements with the City's
Electrical customers. Currently Vernon has an Interruptible Service Agreement where
the customer agrees to interrupt 12.65 MW of load within a 30-minute notification. A
period of interruption can occur upon notification from the Independent System
Operator (ISO) requiring the City to shed load or upon the unscheduled outage of the
Malburg Generating Station ("MGS") or any other generating unit internal to the City's
system.
Local Capacity Area Resources:
In accordance with Section 40.3 of the CAISO Tariff, CAISO annually publishes a Local
Capacity Technical Study that determines the amount of local capacity needed in the Los
Angeles Basin area that must be available to the CAISO. Based on the Local Capacity
Technical Study, the CAISO allocates responsibility for Local Capacity Area Resources to the
Scheduling Coordinators of the LSEs. The CAISO validates that the Scheduling Coordinator
list enough local resources in its Resource Adequacy data templates to satisfy its obligation.
Staff has prepared the Resource Adequacy data templates (Exhibit 4) which lists the Resource
Adequacy Resources including the Malburg Generating Station, Puente Hills Landfill Gas -To -
Energy Facility and the City owned H. Gonzalez units that will be counted on to satisfy the
Local Area Capacity requirement for the City of Vernon.
Flexible Resource Adequacy Capacity:
In accordance with Section 40.10 of the CAISO Tariff, CAISO annually conducts a study to
determine the Flexible Capacity Need for the CAISO Balancing Authority Area for each month
of the next calendar year and provides the results of the study to each Local Regulatory
Authority in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. Flexible resources are resources with the
potential to ramp up and down quickly and have the capability to start and shut down multiple
times per day. The need for flexible capacity is a result of the CAISO managing a greener
grid. The increase of variable energy resources and distributed generation has presented
significant challenges to grid reliability. These types of resources are projected to continue to
increase in the future which will create an increase in supply and load variability and
unpredictability within the CAISO system. In order for the CAISO to efficiently operate the
grid, it needs measures to ensure that flexible resources are economically bid into the CAISO
markets and as a result optimally dispatch them.
The CAISO study calculates the total system amount of Flexible Capacity needed for each of
the three Flexible Capacity Categories. The three categories are: (1) base ramping flexibility;
(2) peak ramping flexibility; and (3) super -peak ramping flexibility. Section 40.10.3 of the
CAISO Tariff sets the criteria needed by resources to qualify for each category. For the
Calendar Year 2019, the CAISO has determined the system -wide Flexible Capacity needs and
has notified each LSE their monthly requirement. Exhibit 6 lists the City's Flexible Capacity
requirement by month and category. Furthermore, the CAISO has established the Effective
Flexible Capacity for each resource and the category of Flexible Capacity each resource will
qualify for the upcoming compliance year. For Calendar Year 2019, the CAISO has
established 78 MW of category 1 base ramping flexible resources adequacy capacity for
Malburg Generating Station, and 5.75 MW category 1 base ramping flexible resource
adequacy capacity for each H. Gonzales Unit (Exhibit 7). CAISO Tariff Section 40.10.5.1
requires the Scheduling Coordinators of LSEs to identify the resources it will rely on to satisfy
its Flexible Resource Adequacy Capacity on both the annual and monthly Resource Adequacy
data templates.
Staff has prepared the Resource Adequacy data templates (Exhibit 4) which lists the Resource
Adequacy Resources including the Malburg Generating Station and the City owned H.
Gonzalez units that will be counted on to satisfy the Flexible Resource Adequacy Capacity
requirement for the City of Vernon.
Annual and Monthly Resource Adequacy and Supply data:
The CAISO Tariff requires that the scheduling coordinator of a load serving entity provide an
annual and a monthly Resource Adequacy Plan (Section 40.2.2.4) using the required templates
and submitted on the set schedules. Furthermore, the scheduling coordinator of a resource
providing resource adequacy must submit both an annual and monthly Supply Plan (Section
40.4.7.1) using the required templates and submitted on the set schedules. Staff asks that City
Council adopt the following requirements for both the annual and monthly submittals:
- Annual: submittals must demonstrate that 90% of the total system forecasted peak
Demand plus planning reserves margin and flexible resource adequacy requirement
has been secured; and 100% of the total local resource adequacy requirement has
been secured.
- Monthly: submittals must demonstrate 100% of the total system forecasted peak
Demand plus planning reserves margin, flexible resource adequacy requirement
and local resource adequacy requirement has been met. Data on the monthly plans
may be adjusted for seasonal variations in the City's load or changes in its
contracted/owned resources.
Therefore, as required by the CAISO, the City of Vernon as a load serving entity and a
scheduling coordinator for resource adequacy resources must submit a Resource Adequacy
and Supply Plan on the set schedules. Staff has prepared the Annual Resource Adequacy
(Exhibit 4) and Supply data (Exhibit 5) for calendar year 2019. Staff will submit the monthly
Resource Adequacy and Supply data to the CAISO as they become due. The data to be
submitted on the monthly plans will demonstrate that 100% of all requirements have been met
and may be adjusted from the annual Resource Adequacy and Supply Plan for seasonal
variations as well as load and resource changes. The monthly plan is due to the CAISO 45
days prior to the beginning of the month.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-338-2018
Submitted by: Efrain Sandoval
Submitting Department: Public Utilities
Meeting Date: October 16, 2018
SUBJECT
A Resolution Approving and Adopting the Resource Adequacy Plan for 2019
Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA')
review, because it is a fiscal and administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the
environment, and therefore does not constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Adopt a resolution approving and adopting the Public Utilities Department Resource Adequacy Plan for 2019,
which includes the coincident peak Demand Forecast, the Planning Reserve Margin, the Qualifying Capacity Criteria
and the Qualifying Capacity from such resources, City's Resource Adequacy and Supply Data and approving the
resources used to satisfy the California Independent System Operator's ("CAISO') tariff requirements; and
C. Authorize staff to submit the City of Vernon Public Utilities Department's Resource Adequacy Plan for 2019
and the Monthly Resource Adequacy and Supply data to the CAISO.
Backgroud:
The California Independent System Operator ("CAISO') as the electric grid operator is responsible for maintaining a
reliable electric grid. One of the keys to maintaining a reliable grid is to ensure that the electric system has adequate
resources it needs to meet its electric demand. To do this, the CAISO has established provisions in its Tariff that are
intended to ensure that Load Serving Entities ("LSE'), such as the City of Vemon, will secure sufficient resources to
meet their customer's energy demands. Pursuant to Section 40 of the CAISO Tariff LSEs must provide to the CAISO
annually a Resource Adequacy demonstration or plan. The Resource Adequacy demonstration must include (1) a
Coincident Peak Demand Forecast, (2) Planning Reserve Margin, (3) Qualifying Capacity Criteria, (4) Local Capacity
Requirement, (5) Flexible Resource Adequacy Capacity Requirement, and (6) Annual and Monthly Resource
Adequacy and Supply data.
(1) Coincident Peak Demand Forecast is defined as the amount of the City of Vernon's load that contributes to the
CAISO system peak. This is calculated by first establishing a monthly peak demand forecast for the upcoming year. A
monthly peak demand is established by taking the latest highest metered energy demand for the month and applying the
projected load growth rate. Based on staff analysis, a projected load reduction for 2019 is set at 1.0%. To establish
the monthly peak demand for 2019, staff has used the most recent 12-month highest monthly peak demand and applied
a 1.0% reduction. Once the peak demand forecast is established, each monthly peak demand is multiplied by a
coincident peak factor to establish the monthly coincident peak demand forecast. The coincident peak factor is
calculated and provided to the City of Vernon annually by the California Energy Comma ssion ("CEC'). It is the
percentage of the City of Vernon's energy demand at the time of the CAISO system's peak demand. Mathematically,
the Coincident Peak Demand Forecast for 2019 is equal to the peak demand forecast and multiplied by the coincident
peak demand factor.
(2) Planning Reserve Margin: is defined as the amount of Resource Adequacy Capacity that a LSE must maintain
above its Coincident Peak Demand Forecast. Pursuant to the CAISO Tarif, a LSE must establish a Planning Reserve
Margin of no less than 15%. Historically, the City of Vernon has established its Planning Reserve Margin at 15%.
(3) Qualifying Capacity Criteria: a LSE must provide the CAISO with a description of the criteria that will be used
to determine the type of resources that can be used to meet its capacity obligation and the amount of capacity
(Qualifying Capacity) from such resources. The City of Vernon has elected to use the following resources to meet its
capacity needs and the qualifying capacity from each of them
a) Power supply contracts entered through WSPP Agreement (MRTU Amendment) and defined as any
SC -to -SC traded product for which an IST (Inter -SC Trades) can be submitted to the CAISO.
b) Vernon Purchase Power Contract with SCPPA for SCPPA's share of the Palo Verde Generating Station. The
qualified capacity shall be 4.9% of SCPPA share of the Palo Verde Generating Station.
c) The contract between the United States Department of Energy Western Area Power Administration Boulder
Canyon Project and the City of Vernon. The Qualifying Capacity will be based on the most current schedule for the
available capacity from the Boulder Canyon Project.
d) The generating units and system units within the City of Vernon's electric system The amount of qualifying
capacity of such units shall not exceed the Net Qualifying Capacity (NQC) as determined and listed annually by the
CAISO.
e) Long term power purchase contracts of 5 years or longer. The Qualifying Capacity bill be based on the City of
Vernon's percentage share of the contracted capacity quantity.
fl Capacity from a Participating Generator, System Unit or a System Resource as defined in the CAISO Tariff:
g) Interruption Service agreements between the City of Vernon and its electrical customers. The Qualifying
Capacity will be based on the contracted amount the electrical customer has agreed to interrupt either by a request from
CAISO or upon an unscheduled outage of the Malburg Generating Station or any other generating unit internal to the
City's electric system
(4) Local Capacity Requirement: On an annual basis the CAISO publishes a technical study that determines the
amount of capacity resources needed in the Los Angeles Basin area that must be available to the CAISO. Based on
this study the CAISO allocates the amount of local capacity the City of Vernon must make available each month. The
City of Vernon must then include in the CAISO approved Resource Adequacy data templates the resources that will
meet its Local Capacity Requirement.
(5) Flexible Resource Adequacy Capacity Requirement: On an annual basis the CAISO conducts and publishes the
results of a study that determines the Flexible Capacity Need for the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. The need for
flexible capacity is a result of the CAISO managing a greener grid. The increase of variable energy resources and
distributed generation has presented significant challenges to grid reliability. The CAISO determines and allocates the
flexible resource adequacy requirement to each LSE. The tariff requires LSEs to have sufficient resources that could
ramp up and down quickly and have the potential to start and shut down multiple times per day (ie. flexible capacity).
LSEs are required to include both an annual and monthly Flexible Resource Adequacy capacity showings in the
Resource Adequacy data template. The City of Vernon must then include in its Resource Adequacy Plan the list of
Flexible Resource Adequacy resources that will meet its requirement. These resources must be listed and submitted to
the CAISO in the approved Resource Adequacy data template.
(6) Annual and Monthly Resource Adequacy and Supply data: each annual and monthly Resource Adequacy and
Supply data must be submitted to the CAISO on the established templates and on the set schedule dates. The le
Resource Adequacy data templates shall identify all of the qualified resources committed to meet the City's resource
adequacy obligations and the adopted Reserve Margin. The Supply data templates list only those resources that the City
owns or is responsible for scheduling with the CAISO. Annual Resource Adequacy Plans data must demonstrate 90%
of the total system forecasted peak Demand plus planning reserves margin and flexible resource adequacy requirement
has been secured; and 100% of the total local resource adequacy requirement has been secured. Monthly Resource
Adequacy and Supply data templates must demonstrate 100% of total system forecasted peak Demand plus planning
reserve margin, flexible resource adequacy requirement and local resource adequacy requirement has been met.
Monthly Resource Adequacy and Supply data may be adjusted for seasonal variations in the City's load or changes in
As contracted/owned resources.
Consistent with the CAISO Tariff requirements, staff has prepared the City of Vernon Public Utilities Department's
Resource Adequacy Plan for 2019. Staff recommends that City Council approve the Resource Adequacy Plan for
2019 and authorize staff to submit the report and accompanying data templates.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no known fiscal impact.

City of Vernon
Public Utilities Department's
Resource Adequacy Plan
Calendar Year 2019
1C
Background:
The Resource Adequacy provisions of the CAISO's Tariff require the Scheduling Coordinator
("SC") of a Load Serving Entity ("LSE") such as the City of Vernon to establish and submit
the following information upon approval from its Local Regulatory Authority. (1) a Coincident
Peak Demand Forecast for its load, (2) a Planning Reserve Margin, (3) the Qualifying Capacity
Criteria that will be used for determining qualifying resource types and the Qualifying Capacity
from such resources, (4) an annual and monthly Resource Adequacy and Supply data, and (5)
a list of the resource that will be used to satisfy the LSE's Local Capacity Requirement and
Flexible Resource Adequacy Capacity Requirement showing.
Staff has prepared this "City of Vernon Public Utilities Department's Resource Adequacy Plan
for Calendar Year 2019 consistent with the CAISO Tariff requirements. The following is a
discussion of each of the CAISO Tariff requirements and how the City will meet each
requirement.
Coincident Peak Demand Forecast:
Vernon's municipal load resides within the CAISO control area. The CAISO, as the balancing
authority, has the responsibility for meeting reliability criteria established by the Western
Electricity Coordinating Council ("WECC"). As such the CAISO has entered into agreements
with various market participants including, but not limited to, Generators, Scheduling
Coordinators, Participating Transmission Owners, Utility Distribution Companies, and
Metered Subsystems ("MSS"), which impose certain responsibilities on parties to establish a
reliable system. One of those responsibilities is to have operating reserves that meet the WECC
minimum requirements.
The CAISO's goal in considering reserve requirements is to balance available capacity with
demand across the entire CAISO control area and, therefore, CAISO's primary concern is with
the time and amount of peak demand on the CAISO-controlled transmission system (the
"system peak"). In order to reduce demand during the period of the system peak (and,
therefore, to lower the peak demand on the transmission system), utilities generally offer retail
rate structures designed to encourage load shifting away from the on -peak period. Such efforts
11
are intended to achieve on -peak demand reduction and lower the need to build new generation
to meet peak demand. Vernon has adopted such a rate structure and has succeeded in shifting
the peak demand period for Vernon's system to a time that is generally earlier than the time of
the CAISO system peak.
Vernon's share of needed capacity to meet CAISO control area capacity requirements may be
established by determining the amount of Vernon's load that contributes to the CAISO system
peak. Vernon's load that contributes to the CAISO system peak is the City of Vernon
Coincident peak Demand. The process to establish Vernon's monthly coincident peak Demand
Forecast consists of the following three steps:
1. Establish Monthly Vernon System Peak Demand Forecast for 2019
To establish Vernon's System peak demand forecast, Staff performs an analysis on the year
to year change in the City's energy demand peaks during a five year period. Based on the
results of the analysis, staff forecasts a load growth rate for the coming calendar year
(Exhibit 1). This year's analysis shows that for the period between 2014 and 2018, the
City of Vernon system peak demand has decreased 1.1 %. Closer review of Exhibit 1
reveals that the decreases in system peak demand from 2017 to 2018 is 1.05%. Based on
the current load trend, Staff concluded that a 1.0% load decrease is an appropriate forecast
for calendar year 2019. Exhibit 2 shows the determination of the projected system peak
demand for 2019 that incorporates a 1.0% load decrease. The projected system peak
demand for the City of Vernon is also shown below in Table 1.

2. Establish Coincidental Peak Factor
The coincidental peak factor is the percentage of the City of Vernon's energy demand at
the time of the CAISO system peak demand. As set forth in Section 40 of the CAISO
Tariff, the coincidental peak factor for each month has been calculated and provided to the
City annually by the California Energy Commission (CEC). The monthly coincidental peak
factor is shown in column C of Exhibit 3.
3. Calculate Monthly Coincident Peak Demand Forecast
The City of Vernon's Coincident Peak Demand forecast is calculated as the mathematical
product of the City of Vernon's forecasted System peak demand and the coincidental peak
factor. This reflects the City of Vernon's projected demand at the time of the CAISO
system peak demand for each month. The monthly coincident peak Demand Forecast is
calculated and listed in column D of Exhibit 3 for the period of January through December
2019. It is also shown below in Table 2.

Planning Reserve Martin
The Planning Reserve Margin is the amount of Resource Adequacy Capacity that an LSE must
maintain above its coincident peak Demand Forecast. Historically, the City of Vernon has
established its Planning Reserve Margin at 15%. Staff recommends that the City Council
maintain the Planning Reserve Margin at 15%. The 15% Planning Reserve Margin is used to
establish the monthly Resource Adequacy obligation for the City of Vernon as listed in column
E of Exhibit 3.
Oualifying Capacitv:
A Load Serving Entity must provide the CAISO with a description of the criteria that will be
used to determine the type of resources that can be used to meet its capacity obligation and the
amount of capacity (Qualifying Capacity) from such resources. Historically Vernon has used
the following criterion to determine whether a resource qualifies: It qualifies if Vernon has a
contractual right to the power or has an interruptible service agreement with a customer. The
six following resources are among those that meet this criterion and provide Qualifying
Capacity. The calculation for the amount of Qualifying Capacity the six eligible resource types
follows:
1. CAISO 1ST -enabled Product. Power supply contract/s entered through WSPP
Agreement (MRTU Amendment) and defined as any SC -to -SC traded product for
which an IST (Inter -SC Trades) can be submitted and for which CAISO will make
payment or issue an invoice, including Energy, Tier I IFM Bid Cost Recovery
Obligations and Ancillary Service Obligation trades, as each defined in the Tariff.
14
2. Palo Verde. Vernon Purchase Power Contract with SCPPA for 4.9% of SCPPA's share
of Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (Palo Verde) shall be eligible as Qualifying
Capacity. The power is scheduled as an import generally at Westwing Substation
through the CAISO's entitlement of transmission from Westwing to SP-15.
3. Boulder Canyon. Contract NO 16-DSR-12650 between United States Department of
Energy Western Area Power Administration Boulder Canyon Project and City of
Vernon, California for Electric Service shall be eligible to count as Qualifying
Capacity. The power is scheduled as an import at Mead Substation generally through
the CAISO's entitlement of transmission from Mead Substation to SP-15. The amount
of Qualifying Capacity will be based on the most current schedule for the available
capacity from the Boulder Canyon Project at the time of submittal of the Resource
Adequacy Plan.
4. Vernon Units. Generating units and system units (but excluding Vernon diesel
generating units) within Vernon's MSS including the Malburg Generating Station and
the City owned H. Gonzalez units, as reflected in Schedule 14 of Vernon's MSS
Agreement with CAISO shall be eligible to count as Qualifying Capacity. The amount
of Qualifying Capacity of such units shall not exceed the Net Qualifying Capacity
(NQC) as determined and listed annually by the CAISO.
5. Long Term Power Purchase Contracts. Long term power supply contracts (5 years or
greater) entered through a power purchase agreement shall be eligible to count as
Qualifying Capacity. The amount of Qualifying Capacity will be based on the City of
Vernon's percentage share of the contracted capacity quantity. For the upcoming year,
the following contracts will count as Qualifying Capacity, Antelope DSR 1 Solar
Project, Astoria 2 Solar Project and Puente Hills Landfill Gas -To -Energy Facility.
6. Other Units. All other capacity from a Participating Generator, a System Unit, or a
System Resource, as defined in the CAISO Tariff, shall be eligible as Qualifying
Capacity. System Resources, however, must have a firm transmission path from source
15
to the CAISO control area. Such criteria for firm transmission facilities over the
CAISO control area can be satisfied with the possession of a firm transmission right
from the CAISO on the path associated with the System Resource. Firm transmission
rights provide physical priority right to schedule over congested paths.
7. Interruptible Service Agreements. Interruptible Service Agreements with the City's
Electrical customers. Currently Vernon has an Interruptible Service Agreement where
the customer agrees to interrupt 12.65 MW of load within a 30-minute notification. A
period of interruption can occur upon notification from the Independent System
Operator (ISO) requiring the City to shed load or upon the unscheduled outage of the
Malburg Generating Station ("MGS") or any other generating unit internal to the City's
system.
Local Capacity Area Resources:
In accordance with Section 40.3 of the CAISO Tariff, CAISO annually publishes a Local
Capacity Technical Study that determines the amount of local capacity needed in the Los
Angeles Basin area that must be available to the CAISO. Based on the Local Capacity
Technical Study, the CAISO allocates responsibility for Local Capacity Area Resources to the
Scheduling Coordinators of the LSEs. The CAISO validates that the Scheduling Coordinator
list enough local resources in its Resource Adequacy data templates to satisfy its obligation.
Staff has prepared the Resource Adequacy data templates (Exhibit 4) which lists the Resource
Adequacy Resources including the Malburg Generating Station, Puente Hills Landfill Gas -To -
Energy Facility and the City owned H. Gonzalez units that will be counted on to satisfy the
Local Area Capacity requirement for the City of Vernon.
Flexible Resource Adequacy Capacity:
In accordance with Section 40.10 of the CAISO Tariff, CAISO annually conducts a study to
determine the Flexible Capacity Need for the CAISO Balancing Authority Area for each month
of the next calendar year and provides the results of the study to each Local Regulatory
Authority in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. Flexible resources are resources with the
W.
potential to ramp up and down quickly and have the capability to start and shut down multiple
times per day. The need for flexible capacity is a result of the CAISO managing a greener
grid. The increase of variable energy resources and distributed generation has presented
significant challenges to grid reliability. These types of resources are projected to continue to
increase in the future which will create an increase in supply and load variability and
unpredictability within the CAISO system. In order for the CAISO to efficiently operate the
grid, it needs measures to ensure that flexible resources are economically bid into the CAISO
markets and as a result optimally dispatch them.
The CAISO study calculates the total system amount of Flexible Capacity needed for each of
the three Flexible Capacity Categories. The three categories are: (1) base ramping flexibility;
(2) peak ramping flexibility; and (3) super -peak ramping flexibility. Section 40.10.3 of the
CAISO Tariff sets the criteria needed by resources to qualify for each category. For the
Calendar Year 2019, the CAISO has determined the system -wide Flexible Capacity needs and
has notified each LSE their monthly requirement. Exhibit 6 lists the City's Flexible Capacity
requirement by month and category. Furthermore, the CAISO has established the Effective
Flexible Capacity for each resource and the category of Flexible Capacity each resource will
qualify for the upcoming compliance year. For Calendar Year 2019, the CAISO has
established 78 MW of category 1 base ramping flexible resources adequacy capacity for
Malburg Generating Station, and 5.75 MW category 1 base ramping flexible resource
adequacy capacity for each H. Gonzales Unit (Exhibit 7). CAISO Tariff Section 40.10.5.1
requires the Scheduling Coordinators of LSEs to identify the resources it will rely on to satisfy
its Flexible Resource Adequacy Capacity on both the annual and monthly Resource Adequacy
data templates.
Staff has prepared the Resource Adequacy data templates (Exhibit 4) which lists the Resource
Adequacy Resources including the Malburg Generating Station and the City owned H.
Gonzalez units that will be counted on to satisfy the Flexible Resource Adequacy Capacity
requirement for the City of Vernon.
HN
Annual and Monthly Resource Adequacy and Supply data:
The CAISO Tariff requires that the scheduling coordinator of a load serving entity provide an
annual and a monthly Resource Adequacy Plan (Section 40.2.2.4) using the required templates
and submitted on the set schedules. Furthermore, the scheduling coordinator of a resource
providing resource adequacy must submit both an annual and monthly Supply Plan (Section
40.4.7.1) using the required templates and submitted on the set schedules. Staff asks that City
Council adopt the following requirements for both the annual and monthly submittals:
- Annual: submittals must demonstrate that 90% of the total system forecasted peak
Demand plus planning reserves margin and flexible resource adequacy requirement
has been secured; and 100% of the total local resource adequacy requirement has
been secured.
- Monthly: submittals must demonstrate 100% of the total system forecasted peak
Demand plus planning reserves margin, flexible resource adequacy requirement
and local resource adequacy requirement has been met. Data on the monthly plans
may be adjusted for seasonal variations in the City's load or changes in its
contracted/owned resources.
Therefore, as required by the CAISO, the City of Vernon as a load serving entity and a
scheduling coordinator for resource adequacy resources must submit a Resource Adequacy
and Supply Plan on the set schedules. Staff has prepared the Annual Resource Adequacy
(Exhibit 4) and Supply data (Exhibit 5) for calendar year 2019. Staff will submit the monthly
Resource Adequacy and Supply data to the CAISO as they become due. The data to be
submitted on the monthly plans will demonstrate that 100% of all requirements have been met
and may be adjusted from the annual Resource Adequacy and Supply Plan for seasonal
variations as well as load and resource changes. The monthly plan is due to the CAISO 45
days prior to the beginning of the month.
