Renewable Energy Credits

• New Ohio Renewable Energy Credit (REC) trading market created by new law in 2009

• 1 REC = 1 mWh of electricity generated

• Utilities may own renewable facilities or purchase RECs to meet the renewable portion of the standard

• PUCO certifies resources; established tracking systems will issue and track RECs

• RECs have a 5-year lifetime following their acquisition

• Energy and RECs may be sold as separate commodities

9

Compliance Payments

Utilities and electric service companies subject to

compliance payments if annual renewable and solar

benchmarks are not met.

Non Solar: • Started at $45/mWh in 2009

• 2012 compliance payment was $47.56/MWh

Solar: • $450/mWh in 2009 and declines over time

• 2012 compliance payment was $350/MWh for solar

Exceptions: force majeure; 3% cost cap

10

Certification Application

• Certification is not mandatory for any renewable project, but necessary to create RECs eligible for Ohio utility compliance

• No fee to apply

• May certify facilities prior to commercial operation

• Application will focus on:

o Resource/technology utilized

o Placed in-service date

o Deliverability to the state

• One-time review (unless significant change to facility in future)

• Interested person may seek intervention and request hearing on certification

• Certification status will be conveyed to applicable attribute tracking system

11

Wind Momentum

o Federal PTC (Production Tax Credit)

o State Renewable Portfolio

Standards (RPS)

o Technological Improvements

o Price Volatility for Other Fuels (i.e., Natural Gas)

o Interest in Green Power / Clean Energy Sources

o Climate Change / Energy Independence

12

Wind farms in Ohio can help

provide renewable resources

to meet Ohio’s Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards

But Also: A small wind generator owned by a retail customer may enable the customer to use a renewable resource to offset his electrical demand and potentially earn a credit for net metering on his electric bill.

Advanced Energy Resources

• Clean coal • Advanced Nuclear • Fuel cells • Customer co-generation • Advanced solid waste conversion • Utility generation plant or demand-side management

efficiency measures • Uprated capacity of an existing electric generating

facility resulting from the deployment of advanced technology

• Any new, retrofitted, refueled or repowered generating facility in Ohio

• Note: RECs are not created from advanced resources

17

Energy Efficiency and Demand Reduction Benchmarks - SB 221 (OAC 4901:1-39)

• Establishes requirements and processes to determine specific benchmarks for energy efficiency and peak reduction programs

• Establishes energy usage and demand baselines for measuring annual energy savings and demand reductions

• Provides mechanisms by which investments achieve energy savings and demand reductions by mercantile customers in their own facilities and can be recognized in electric utility programs as contributing to specific levels of energy savings and demand reductions.

Energy Efficiency

Requirement

• 22% + Reduction by

2025

• Could result in annual

usage at 13.8 million

MWh below 2007

Peak Demand Reduction Standard

• 7.75% by 2018

• Tariffs and special contracts available to commit the demand reduction

• Customers enrolled in RTO demand response programs are counted if customer commits the peak demand reduction

21

Peak Demand Reduction and Energy Efficiency Benchmarks

22

Peak Demand Reduction and Energy Efficiency Benchmarks

Each Electric Distribution Utility filed a report identifying

the 2009 baselines and benchmarks.

Each Electric Distribution Utility filed a program portfolio plan for energy efficiency and peak reduction programs.

Upon approval of the program portfolio plan, an Electric distribution utility may seek cost recovery.

Each year, on April 15, the Electric Distribution Utility must file a portfolio status report that demonstrates its compliance status with its benchmarks and provides an assessment of its performance.

23

Mercantile Customer Applications to commit Energy Efficiency and

Peak Demand Reduction

Ohio Administrative Code 4901:1-39-05(F)

o Permits a mercantile customer to file individually or jointly with

an electric utility, an application to commit the customer’s

existing demand reduction, demand response, and energy efficiency programs for integration with the utility’s program

o Expectation the mercantile customers were to be exempt

from the EE/PDR Rider of the tariff they are taking service

o Pilot Program adopted by the Commission for ease of application and administration
