Dear WREGIS Stakeholders,

With the opening of registration for the Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) last week, we would like to try and make a clear distinction between being a stakeholder and being registered as a member of the SAC.

The WREGIS Working Group (WREGIS-WG) is an electronic forum for all parties interested in the development of WREGIS, otherwise referred to as "stakeholders," to communicate. To become a member of this list-serve and receive general communications about the ongoing development of WREGIS, send a blank e-mail to: WREGIS-WG-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and follow the directions you receive in response. For complete instructions on becoming a member of the WREGIS-WG, see: http://www.westgov.org/wieb/wregis/instruct.htm.

The Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) is the official stakeholder advisory body that will provide input to the WREGIS Committee, the official governing board of the active WREGIS organization. You must register for the SAC and, depending on eligibility, will be assigned membership and voting rights only after receipt and approval of the registration form WREGIS-SAC-1. Complete registration instructions and the WREGIS-SAC-1 form can be found at: http://www.westgov.org/wieb/wregis/sacregform.html. Please complete this form and e-mail it to mlehman@... for processing.

For a description of the various committees and bodies involved in WREGIS, please see the committees page on the WREGIS website: http://www.westgov.org/wieb/wregis/committees.htm.

Send Email

Dear WREGIS stakeholders,

As we start 2005, I know that there are a number of you who are very interested in knowing what is going on with the development of the Western Renewable Energy Generation Information System (WREGIS).

After almost a year of diligent work, recommendations on the institutional structure and interim operational rules have been finalized. These documents can be found on the WREGIS website document's page at:
http://www.westgov.org/wieb/wregis/documents.htm. The WREGIS Feasibility Study Report (FSR) and Information Technology Procurement Plan (ITPP) were delivered to the California Department of Finance and the Department of General Services in October 2004 and both are still under review. The charter for the WECC Board committee that will oversee WREGIS was approved in December 2004 and the interim WREGIS committee will meet for the first time during the first quarter of 2005.

Since the WREGIS Request for Proposal (RFP) can not be released until the FSR and the ITPP are approved, it is unlikely that the RFP will be released in the first quarter of 2005. Once these critical State of California approvals are secured, we will re-project the RFP release date. We are making every effort to expedite the approval of the FSR and ITPP and the subsequent release of the RFP.

For specific questions regarding WREGIS, please feel free to contact me. Thanks to all of you for your continued interest and support of WREGIS. We will provide another update once we receive approval from the control agencies.

WREGIS Program Lead

Dear WREGIS stakeholders,

Due to the size of the attachments, the 2 sets of comments have been attached to this e-mail. Thank you for your patience.

To: WREGIS Working Group ; Institutional Committee

Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2004 4:31 PM

Subject: WREGIS Cost & Revenue Analysis

Attached is the WREGIS Cost & Revenue Analysis paper. It incorporates some suggestions from the Institutional Committee call on this topic. For more background, the notes from the 9.17.04 IC call are on the WREGIS/Yahoo website. In addition, I have attached comments on the original paper from PG&E and the CEC Legal Office.

Comments are due by COB Thursday, September 30th.

Your task is to provide guidance to the WREGIS Sponsors who will set the initial WREGIS Fee structure once WREGIS actual costs are known. The areas where we are seeking guidance are:

Types of fees -- Do you agree with the set of fees described in the paper? If not, why not and what would you recommend?
Cost distribution -- The paper recommends an approach where the majority of WREGIS costs would be covered by volumetric fees. Do you agree with this or believe more of the costs should be covered through fixed fee(s) of some kind? If so why, if not, why not?
Placement of the volumetric fee -- For a volumetric fee, do you think it should be placed at the point of creation of the REC or at the point of retirement of some other option? What and why?

A critical point to remember is that the broader the participation in WREGIS the less each participant will have to pay in fees. Since WREGIS is voluntary, except for CA/RPS compliance, how can WREGIS fees best be structured to cover WREGIS costs and encourage as much voluntary participation as possible?

Please feel free to call or email me if you have questions or need clarification on something in the paper. We appreciate your participation in the WREGIS process and look forward to hearing your comments.

Sincerely,

Jan Hamrin

Board of Directors approves WECC as the institutional home for the WREGIS Program

We are pleased to announce that the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) has agreed to be the institutional home for the Western Renewable Energy Generation Information System (WREGIS). Drawing on extensive stakeholder input, the Western Governors� Association (WGA) and the California Energy Commission (Energy Commission) submitted a joint proposal in July 2004 to the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) Board of Directors requesting that WECC house WREGIS. At the July 29, 2004 WECC Board of Directors meeting, the board passed a resolution approving WECC as the institutional home for the WREGIS program by a vote of 25 to 1.

This is an important milestone. Stakeholders from around the region have worked diligently over the past ten months to develop a regional consensus on recommendations for the design of operational rules, functional requirements, and the institutional framework for WREGIS. WECC provides vital services in the West, improving reliability and helping the region meet its electricity goals. Approval by the WECC board reflects a commitment by the region to establish WREGIS as the single institution in the West responsible for tracking renewable energy generation and issuing renewable energy certificates.

At WECC, the WREGIS program will be self funded through participant fees and staffed by individuals specifically hired to administer and conduct the functions and responsibilities of WREGIS. The WREGIS program will report to and be governed by a Board Committee established by the WECC Board of Directors. As outlined in the joint proposal to WECC, the Energy Commission and the WGA will contract with WECC to house WREGIS and WECC will contract with a system operator to operate and maintain WREGIS accounting software and hardware on a day-to-day basis.

This arrangement will be mutually beneficial to the Energy Commission, WGA, WECC and residents in the West. It addresses the Energy Commission's need to implement an accounting system to verify compliance with the California Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). It meets the WGA's goals of creating an infrastructure to verify and track renewable energy resources across the region. It will further WECC's mission of maintaining a reliable electric power system in the Western Interconnection that supports efficient competitive power markets and its goal of becoming the organization of choice for West-wide electricity information databases. Finally, it will facilitate and substantiate the marketplace for renewable energy generation, diversifying the generation resource mix and improving air quality.

In the coming months, a Memorandum of Understanding will be drafted between the WECC and WREGIS sponsors, formally establishing responsibilities of each party in the establishment of WREGIS and the terms and conditions for the program�s operation at WECC.

The Resolution and associated background materials can be found at: http://www.wecc.biz/committees/BOD/meetings/Agenda_background_material/July_2004/WREGIS_Agenda_Item_VII.pdf.

Send Email

WREGIS Stakeholders:

Over the past 6 months, under the auspices of the Western Governors� Association (WGA) and the California Energy Commission (Energy Commission), the Western Renewable Energy Generation Information System (WREGIS) Operational Rules Committee (ORC) has conducted weekly conference calls to develop draft recommendations that describe the functional requirements and operating rules for a west-wide, electronic renewable energy certificate (REC) verification and tracking system. This process has entailed a significant commitment of time and resources from stakeholders with an interest in the activities within the Western Interconnect. In addition to the direct work of the WREGIS ORC, a WREGIS Data Interface Subcommittee has also worked on the specific issues related to the acquisition of quality data to assist in the verification and tracking of renewable energy throughout the Western Interconnect.

The WREGIS ORC documented its original recommendations in WREGIS Interim Operating Rules: Functional Requirements which was finalized on May 4, 2004 (see http://www.westgov.org/wieb/wregis/documents.htm) . During the process of developing these initial recommendations, the ORC identified a number of additional issues that needed resolution (identified as Tier 2 issues in the May document). The ORC continued work in May and June, and has developed draft recommendations on these Tier 2 issues. The attached document, Draft Final WREGIS Interim Operating Rules: Functional Requirements (dated 6/15/04) includes the ORC's recommendations on Tier 2 issues. These include rules to allow the participation of generation units not reportable by control areas (generally, small generation facilities), treatment of multi-fuel generators, rules governing accumulation of sub-MWh quantities, a definitions section, and several other new functionalities and clarifications.

Your comments on the WREGIS DRAFT Final Interim Operating Rules: Functional Requirements are requested.

The WREGIS ORC desires that all stakeholders with an interest in WREGIS review the document and provide written comments on the functional aspects of the system. We ask that you limit your comments to the new sections of the document which are highlighted in yellow. This draft set of functions and operating rules will form the basis for the development of the systems software and associated functionality.

Unfortunately, timing is very tight, and therefore written comments are requested by no later than Tuesday, June 22nd, and should be sent to Jennifer Martin, the ORC technical staff, at jmartin@.... Please feel free to forward this message on to other organizations that you feel would also have an interest in the outcome of the WREGIS project.

Once comments are received, the ORC will hold one final conference call on June 25th to review and incorporate stakeholder comments as appropriate. This call is open to any interested participants. You can find information about how to join the ORC at the bottom of this email message.

We thank you in advance for your comments. If you have any questions about the ORC process, or WREGIS in general, please consult the WREGIS website (see links below), or contact Jennifer Martin at the Center for Resource Solutions (jmartin@...).

Subject: Upcoming WREGIS Review Document- Draft Final WREGIS Interim Operating Rules: Functional Requirements jmartin@...
Send Email

WREGIS Stakeholders:

As you are aware, the WREGIS Operating Rules Committee (ORC) and Data Interface Subcommittee finalized their preliminary recommendations on WREGIS functional requirements at the end of April 2004. These requirements are documented in the WREGIS Interim Operating Rules: Functional Requirements, dated May 4, 2004, which is posted on the WREGIS website at http://www.westgov.org/wieb/wregis/documents.htm. During the development of that document, the ORC identified a number of additional functional issues, identified as Tier 2 issues in the document. These issues include rules that will govern the participation of small and multi-fuel generators in WREGIS. During the month of May, the WREGIS Operating Rules Committee conducted weekly conference calls with substantial stakeholder involvement and developed draft recommendations to address these Tier 2 issues. On June 15th, the ORC will be distributing a revised Interim Operating Rules document which incorporates recommendations on these Tier 2 issues to the public via the WREGIS Working Group list serve for review. Written comments will be requested by no later than June 22nd.

We are alerting you now of this upcoming review period to enable you to plan ahead to allow your organization to review the document within the time frame required.

Jennifer,

I will not be able to participate in the call tomorrow. However, I want to share with the group how dual fuel generators are handled in the Wisconsin renewable tracking system.

The program is set up so that generators report their total production from a dual-fueled plant (renewable and
non-renewable). They then provide us with the backup data and calculations of what percentage of the total output is from renewables, based on the btu input/MWH output of the renewable and non-renewable fuels. The dual-fueled generators that we are working with take samples each week to determine the btu content of the fuel, which is then used to determine the MWh generated from both the renewable and non-renewable fuel inputs. This is required for their air permits (at least it is in Wisconsin). From this, we can calculate the percentage of the output that is renewable. The system takes this renewable percentage to calculate the MWh of the total output that is renewable. Renewable certificates are only created for the renewable-fueled amount.

We have found that this approach is simple and workable. There is also no need to have to track non-renewable generation. The percentages are re-calculated for each reporting period so that the number of renewable certificates the system creates is accurate.
