Scenario Parameters:
• Peak Coincidence: 75%(% of capacity at system peaks)
• Load Factor: 95%(average utilization)
• Onsite Generation: 200 MW(reduces grid peak to 550 MW)
Market & Tariff:
• Market: REGULATED
• Peak Demand Charge: $7.05k/MW-mo(recovers capacity costs)
• Max Demand Charge: $2.47k/MW-mo
Energy Costs:
• Wholesale Energy: $38/MWh
• Tariff Energy: $1.71/MWh
• Energy spread nets to zero (wholesale pass-through)
Infrastructure Costs:
• CIAC Recovery: 80%(DC pays upfront)
Based on E3 study cost-causation principles and regulated market
• Network Upgrades: $140k/MW(socialized portion after CIAC)
Capacity Cost Treatment:
Regulated: Demand charges offset embedded capacity costs
