Incremental Change Amount Sample Clauses

Incremental Change Amount. In brief: the Commission considers whether the change case of 100 MW from the base case is appropriate. As part of the DRR methodology, DESC proposes to calculate its avoided energy and capacity costs based upon an assumed incremental addition of 100 MW of QF energy. Tr. at 308.8. ORS, however, proposes to calculate the avoided costs based upon an assumed addition of 93 MW of QF energy based upon the capacity of combustion turbine (“CT”) units that DESC projects to add for new capacity in its IRP. Tr. at 695.39. ORS also suggests that it is appropriate to use a 93 MW change because of the “lumpiness,” or limited flexibility of sizing of CT plants. Id. Power Advisory agrees with ORS and recommends using the 93 MW addition, rather than 100 MW as proposed by DESC. No other party of record proposed that a different capacity addition should be used in connection with the DRR methodology. The Commission rejects DESC’s proposal and instead adopts Power Advisory’s and ORS’ proposal, therefore finding that it is appropriate for DESC to use a 93 MW change in energy in connection with its DRR methodology. Primarily, PURPA specifically provides that a utility may use a change of up to 100 MW to calculate avoided energy costs, 18 C.F.R. § 292.302(b)(1). Clearly, then, a 93 MW increase is permissible under PURPA, and more accurately reflects actual potential incremental changes in DESC’s generation fleet. Act No. 62 specifies that the Commission’s decisions in this proceeding shall be consistent with PURPA and FERC’s implementing regulations and orders. S.C. Code Xxx. § 58-41-20(A). In addition, the Commission finds that ORS’s concerns about the “lumpiness” of a 100 MW noteworthy. The record reflects that the only way to avoid any such “lumpiness” would be to add additional resources that exactly equal the amount needed to meet the reserve margin requirement each year, which would be unreasonable and inappropriate for planning purposes. However, to the extent that a more accurate estimate can be established without causing undue burden, such accuracy should be sought. The Commission therefore finds that the use of a 93 MW change in QF capacity is reasonable, appropriate, and consistent with Act No. 62, PURPA, and FERC’s implementing regulations and orders.
