C. Energy Emergency Alert 3 Report
NERC policy 9B section B paragraph 3.5 requires that a Deficient Control Area or Load Serving Entity declaring a Energy Emergency Alert 3 must complete the following report. Upon completion of this report it is to be sent to the Security Coordinator for review within two business days of the incident.
Requesting Control Area:
CLECO
Entity experiencing energy deficiency (if different from Control Area):
CLECO
Date/Time Implemented:
08/30/00 14:00
Date/Time Released:
08/30/00 23:20
Declared Deficiency Amount (MW):
450
Energy supplied by other Control Areas:
ENTERGY
Conditions that precipitated call for “Energy Deficiency Alert 3”:
The entire Evangeline facility was lost (750mw’s), in which 450mw’s was being used as Cleco firm capacity and energy.
Transfer capability across Entergy’s transmission system was zero.
Limited energy supply from the SPP markets.
If “Energy Deficiency Alert 3” had not been called, would firm load be cut? if no, explain:
NO. SPP other extreme conditions would have been filed. Appendix 9B – Energy Emergency Alerts C. Energy Emergency Alert 3 Report
Explain what action was taken in each step to avoid calling for “Energy Deficiency Alert 3”:
1. All generation capable of being on line in the time frame of the energy deficiency was on line (including quick start and peaking units) without regard to cost.
YES
2. All firm and nonfirm purchases were made without regard to cost.
YES
3. All nonfirm sales were recalled within provisions of the sale agreement.
YES
4. Interruptible load was curtailed where either advance notice restrictions were met or the interruptible load was considered part of spinning reserve.
YES Appendix 9B – Energy Emergency Alerts C. Energy Emergency Alert 3 Report
5. Available load reduction programs were exercised (public appeals, voltage reductions, etc.).
Distribution Voltage Reduction steps were implemented.
6. Operating Reserves being utilized.
YES
Comments:
There was available energy to purchase from Entergy and others, although there wasn’t transfer capability across Entergy’s system to allow it to flow without declaring this deficiency. On the other hand SPP had some transfer capability, but limited energy availability.
