7282 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 26 / Thursday, February 7, 2008 / Notices 

Under current rate schedules, BPA 

power customers pay most of the costs 

of these additional reserves. For BPA, 

wind integration cost recovery is a 

particularly important issue because the 

majority of the 1,425 MW of wind 

generation in the BPA Balancing 

Authority is exported to other Balancing 

Authorities to serve the loads of other 

regional utilities. Therefore, BPA power 

customers are paying the costs of 

providing balancing services for wind 

generation used to serve other loads. 

This pattern of large-scale exports of 

wind generation is expected to continue 

through the end of 2009, at which point 

BPA expects that 2,880 MW of wind 

will be interconnected to the BPA 

system. 

To better align cost causation and cost 

allocation, BPA is proposing a Wind 

Integration—Within-Hour Balancing 

Service rate under which wind 

generators will be charged for the costs 

of the additional reserve capacity that is 

needed to support their operations, as 

well as other incremental costs caused 

by the variability of wind generation. 

Additional costs are caused by the need 

to shift energy generation from heavy 

load hours to light load hours to 

preserve the ability to change generation 

levels to compensate as wind output 

changes and by reduced efficiency 

because demands on the system become 

less predictable as wind generation 

increases. The new rate is intended to 

ensure that BPA recovers the costs that 

wind generation places on the system, 

and that the costs are allocated to the 

parties that cause the costs. 

BPA currently estimates that, during 

FY 2009, it will need an average of 203 

MW of capacity to provide these 

balancing services for wind generation. 

Therefore, BPA is proposing a wind 

integration rate to recover the embedded 

costs of 203 MW of Federal system 

resources plus the other costs, noted 

above, that wind generation places on 

the system. 

BPA projects the cost of providing 

this service is $22.9 million. To recover 

this cost, BPA is proposing a rate not to 

exceed $0.81 per installed kW of wind 

capacity per month. 

The proposed rate schedule is 

attached at the end of this Notice. 

Issued this 30th day of January, 2008.

SECTION III. CONTROL AREA 

SERVICE RATES 

E. WIND INTEGRATION—WITHINHOUR BALANCING SERVICE 

The rate below applies to all wind 

plants in the BPA Control Area. WithinHour Balancing Service provides the 

generation capability to follow withinhour variations of wind resources in the 

BPA Control Area and to maintain the 

power system frequency at 60 Hz in 

conformance with NERC and WECC 

reliability standards. 

1. RATE 

The rate shall not exceed $0.81 per 

kilowatt per month. 

2. BILLING FACTOR 

The Billing Factor is as follows: 

i. For each wind plant, or phase of a 

wind plant, that has completed 

installation of all units no later than the 

15th day of the month prior to the 

billing month, the billing factor will be 

the nameplate of the plant in kW. A unit 

has completed installation when it has 

generated and delivered power to the 

BPA system. 

ii. For each wind plant, or phase of a 

wind plant, for which some but not all 

units have been installed by the 15th 

day of the month prior to the billing 

month, the billing factor will be the 

maximum measured hourly output of 

the plant through the 15th day of the 

prior month in kW.
