Long Term Climate Influencing FactorsLong Term Forecast Contributing Factors
Variations in SST ( Sea Surface Temps)El Niño (+) & La Niña (-) (ENSO)Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO)Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO)
Certain shorter term phenomena (e.g. North Atlantic Ocean Blocking) can only be forecasted 10-14 days out such effects are not included in longer term forecasts
Tropical Pacific La Nina or El Nino (ENSO)
North Pacific (PDO)North Atlantic (AMO)
El Niño likely
Drought Patterns
El Niño
La Niña
Increased opportunity for cooler, wetter weather. Less hurricanes
Increased opportunity for warmer, drier weather.More hurricanes TX has lower sensitivity to
ENSO during summer months
Pattern flipped to +PDO/-AMO in January. This presents opportunities to lessen (not necessarily end) the drought. Flip is likely temporary.
ERCOT PUBLIC 8
Temperature and Precipitation Outlooks (May 28, 2014)
Overall, slightly hotter than normal* for ERCOT as a wholeMore opportunities for above normal temperatures West rather than East. Not hotter than any of the past four summers (all were top 25)More potential for cooler rather than warmer.
Below normal precipitation expected for the majority of the western half to two-thirds of the state.Best opportunities for above normal rainfall within ERCOT will fall within the East, Coast, and eastern North zones.
*10 year normal (2004-2013)

Hurricane Forecast and Drought Projection
Hurricane Arthur was the first cyclone of the season.Only the second time in the past 10 years with no named storm prior to July. Forecast on track.Normal: 11/6/2*2013: 14/2/02014 Forecast: 9/5/3Texas Landfall: 0 or 1 Named Storm
Some improvement over the past couple of months.Drought still in place for most (over 60%) and July is showing minimal rainfall opportunity.El Niño may have a wetter impact late-summer into fall.Lake Travis is at 37% of capacity. Buchanan Lake at 41%.

Eagle Ford and Cline Shale
Oil and natural gas related demand has caused a significant amount of load growth in west Texas and south Texas
Six of the top ten transmission constraints on the ERCOT System in 2013 were related to serving the increased demand in west Texas
A significant number of transmission projects have been implemented in west Texas within the past two years, and more than 60 are planned over the next four years to meet the oil and natural gas related needs
More than $330 million in transmission projects have been approved by the ERCOT Regional Planning Group since 2012 in order to meet Eagle Ford Shale load growth in south Texas (Expected in-service 2013 through 2016)

Changing Relation Between Load and Nonfarm Employment
Price responsive load
System-Wide Offer Caps is changing behavior:Commercial & industrial loads with prices indexed to the ERCOT wholesale market are increasing their price response flexibilityLoad-serving entities (LSE) are investing in demand response as insurance against wholesale market exposure
ERCOT Staff, working with LSEs, are attempting to quantify this behavior; starting with summer 2013 data4 CP impact

2012 Summer Peak - 4 CP & Price Response Impacts (June 26)
4 CP & Price Response Impacts
Impacts shown are based on aggregated transmission load values for ~430 premises
Not estimated based on an analysis of individual premises
Difference represents the 4 CP & Price Response impacts of up to 900 MW on an aggregated basis
Transmission charges based on 4CP usage apply to Munis, Co-ops, and Loads with >700 kW of peak demand in retail choice areas.
This data is an example of observed 4CP and price response impacts.

Load Forecasting Review Process
ERCOT staff developed a methodology for the load forecast that is different from what has been used in recent years
The new methodology is different from what any other ISO is using today
The new methodology represented a significant change and was thoroughly reviewed by the Board and stakeholders before it was incorporated into our Capacity, Demand and Reserves (CDR) Report.
Joint review by the Reliability & Operations Subcommittee (ROS) and Wholesale Market Subcommittee (WMS) of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC).
ERCOT retained an independent consultant to review the methodology and

Ancillary Services are procured in the Day Ahead Market (DAM)
ERCOT PUBLIC 35
Drivers for new AS FrameworkCurrent AS Framework has performed well but has issues
Resources could provide some services more efficiently if the requirements were decoupled (Primary Frequency Response / Fast Frequency Response / Contingency Reserve)
New service needed to ensure technical requirements are met that used to be provided, inherently, by generators (e.g. inertia)
Awkward to fit capabilities of new technologies (e.g. wind turbines) that could provide services efficiently
Changes in market design and control systems (e.g. 5 minute dispatch, HRUC) have reduced the need for other services
New regulatory requirements (BAL-003)
Need for changes has been highlighted in discussion of Fast Responding Regulation Service (FRRS), NPRR 524 (Resource Limits in Providing Ancillary Service), etc.
