C – Conceptual – This category includes generation resources that are not in a prior listed category, but have been identified and/or announced on a resource planning basis through one or more of the following sources: Corporate announcement. Entered into or is in the early stages of an approval process. Is in a generator interconnection (or other) queue for study. “Place-holder” generation for use in modeling. WECC Class Code 0 – Existing Generation – All generation existing as of December 31 of the actual year should be identified in Class 0. Enter the class code that best reflects the current status of generation additions or retirements. 1 – Class 1 – Generation additions that were reported to be under active construction as of December 31 of the actual year and are projected to be within the period ending five years from the end of the actual year. Also include any facility or unit that has a firm date for retirement within the assessment period as a result of regulatory requirements or corporate decisions. 2 – Class 2 – Generation additions that were reported to have 1) received regulatory approval, or are undergoing regulatory review, 2) with a signed interconnection agreement, and 3) with an expected on-line date within the period ending seven years from the end of the actual year. This class includes resources that were expected to be in service as early as Class 1 resources but do not meet the test of being under construction. Also include any facility or unit that is estimated by the reporting entity to be retired within the assessment period. 3 – Class 3 – Generation additions/retirements that were reported which have met the NERC criteria for Future-Planned or Future-Other Resources but, because of expected on-line requirements, do not qualify as Class 1 or 2 Resources. 4 – Class 4 – Generation additions/retirements that were reported which have met the NERC criteria for Conceptual Resources. 5 – Class 5 – Generation additions that were reported last year but are no longer expected to enter service, retire, etc., within the assessment period.

B Nameplate Total nameplate capacity of the wind location Report the sum of nameplate capacity of all generation installed at the wind location. Report in MWs. Indicate when new generation is installed by increasing the capacity from that hour forward. C Available Capacity The total nameplate capacity less any capacity unavailable due to forced or planned outages. Report the sum of all nameplate capacity less capacity unavailable due to forced or planned outages only. Do not reduce available capacity for control measures, e.g., blade feathering. Report in MWs. D 1 Modeling Area Modeling Area where generation is located Report the Modeling Area where the generation is located (use dropdown). D Actual Hourly Generation Actual hourly generation in MWs. Report the actual energy generation for the wind location. Report in MWs. F 1 TEPPC Wind Profile Regional location of generation Report the Profile name for the location of the generation. If the wind facility is not located in or near a TEPPC Wind Profile, leave this cell blank. (See TEPPC Renewable Energy Cases for Profile names) Hourly Solar Production BAs that report a solar resource on the {gen_exist} are to report the nameplate capacity, available capacity and actual generation for each hour of the year on the {Hourly Solar Profile} sheet as requested below. One sheet should be used for each Solar Profile and additional sheets may be added to the workbook as needed to record profile-specific data. Solar generation that does not fit into any Solar Profile should be reported on a separate sheet, leaving the Solar Profile (F1) cell blank. Column Row Field Name Definition Instructions A Hour of the year Hour of year reported B 1 Time Zone Time zone where generation is located Report the time zone for where generation is located. B Nameplate Total nameplate capacity of the solar location Report the sum of nameplate capacity of all generation installed at the solar location. Report in MWs. Indicate when new generation is installed by increasing the capacity from that hour forward. C Available Capacity The total nameplate capacity less any capacity unavailable due to forced or planned outages. Report the sum of all nameplate capacity less capacity unavailable due to forced or planned outages only.
