RPG – Regional Planning Group, part of the open planning process and includes anyone interested. POI – Planning and Operations Information Website, http://planning.ercot.com/login/login Weather Zones – eight geographic zones within ERCOT with similar weather patterns used for load modeling TPIT – Transmission Project Information and Tracking 4
Data Needed For Planning Studies • Three input components needed for planning studies: • Load • Projections from LSE - ALDR • ERCOT Econometric Load Forecast
• Generation • Current • Additions – Generation Interconnection Process • Subtractions – Notices to Suspend Operations
• Transmission • Existing • Planned Projects – TPIT, RPG Review, Five-Year Transmission Plan 5
Basic Planning Process • Conduct Studies (ERCOT, TSP, MP) – Study combinations of the three inputs – Three categories of studies • Steady state (Reliability and Economic) - All • System Protection - TSP • Dynamic – ERCOT, TSP
• Report Results (All) – Submit to RPG for review as required by Planning Charter
• Endorsements, Recommendations, Acceptance • Certification, Right of Way, and Construction (TSP) 6

Generation ERCOT has received interconnection requests for proposed generation having aggregate nameplate capacity over 79,000 MW. Of this capacity, over 20,000 MW is public and is shown on the map to the right. 9
Load Forecast This figure shows the historical peak demand from 1990 through 2009 and the forecasted peak demand through 2014. The historical compound growth rate for the last eight years has been approximately 1.83%. The forecasted growth rate between 2009 and 2014 is 2.21% due to a strong economic recovery reflected in the economic forecast after 2011. The all-time peak demand for ERCOT of 63,534 was recently set this past summer, occurring on July 13, 2009.
10
Reserve Margin Reserve margin is the percentage by which the available generating capacity in a system exceeds the peak demand.
