ISO/MID ii March 30, 2018 Study Plan 2018-2019 Transmission Planning Process 1 Introduction As set forth in Section 24 of the California ISO tariff on the Transmission Planning Process and in the Transmission Planning Process (TPP) Business Practice Manual (BPM), the TPP is conducted in three phases. This document is being developed as part of the first phase of the TPP, which entails the development of the unified planning assumptions and the technical studies to be conducted as part of the current planning cycle. In accordance with revisions to the TPP that were approved by FERC in December 2010, this first phase also includes specification of the public policy objectives the ISO will adopt as the basis for identifying policy-driven transmission elements in Phase 2 of the TPP that will be an input to the comprehensive planning studies and transmission plan developed during Phase 2. Phase 3 will take place after the approval of the plan by the ISO Board if projects eligible for competitive solicitation were approved by the Board at the end of Phase 2. If you would like to learn more about the ISO’s TPP, please go to: Section 24 of the California ISO tariff located at: http://www.caiso.com/rules/Pages/Regulatory/Default.aspx Transmission Planning Process BPM at: http://www.caiso.com/rules/Pages/BusinessPracticeManuals/Default.aspx . The objectives of the unified planning assumptions and study plan are to clearly articulate the goals and assumptions for the various public policy and technical studies to be performed as part of Phase 2 of the TPP cycle. These goals and assumptions will in turn form the basis for ISO approval of specific transmission elements and projects identified in the 2017-2018 comprehensive transmission plan at the end of Phase 2. ISO intends to continue updating the High Voltage TAC model for inclusion in the final draft transmission plan, as it has in the past. An opportunity to review the previous year’s model for comments will provided during the year, and has not been scheduled at this time. The ISO has collaboratively worked with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the California

    2017-2018 TRANSMISSION PLAN March 14, 2018 REVISED DRAFT Foreword to Revised Draft 2017-2018 Transmission Plan This revised draft transmission plan reflects a number of changes from the draft plan released on February 1, 2018. To assist our stakeholders following the transmission plan cycle, we have summarized a number of those changes, with particular emphasis on a number of projects where the recommendations have progressed since the release on February 1 and the subsequent stakeholder meeting on February 8: • The model estimating the impact of the transmission plan on the ISO’s High Voltage TAC has been updated and the results added to the model. • The Oakland Clean Energy Initiative project is recommended for approval • The Phasor Measurement Unit project has been added and is recommended for approval • The Bridgerville-Garberville #2 115 kV line project is recommended to remain on hold. • The Kearney-Caruthers 70 kV Line Reonductor project is recommended to proceed with the original scope. • The recommended revised scope for the Kern 115 kV Area Reinfoement has been updated as presented at the February 8 stakeholder meeting. • Section 2.10 addressing the need for phasor measurement units to be installed on all ISO balancing authority area interties has been added. • Several projects approved in the 2016-2017 transmission planning cycle have been added to Table 7.1-1: Status of Previously-approved Projects Costing Less than $50M, that had been omitted from the table in the Draft 2017-2018 Transmission Plan. • The in-service date for a number of previously approved projects have been updated. A number of clarifications and edits have also been added throughout the plan to address other stakeholder comments.

Written comments were received during the 30-day public review period, which extended from March 26, 2021 to April 26, 2021. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), prior to approving a project, the decision- making body of the lead agency must consider the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, together with all comments received during the public review process. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15074.) Although written responses to comments on an MND are not required by CEQA, the City has determined to exceed the minimum requirements and prepare a response to the comments received that pertain to the adequacy of the IS/MND. According to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), the State agencies that were invited to review the IS/MND included the following:1 • California Natural Resources Agency • California Department of Conservation (DOC) • California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), Regions 2 and 3 • California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) • California Department

Introduction The California ISO (ISO) tariff provides for the establishment of planning guidelines and standards above those established by NERC and WECC to ensure the secure and reliable operation of the ISO controlled grid. The primary guiding principle of these Planning Standards is to develop consistent reliability standards for the ISO grid that will maintain or improve transmission system reliability to a level appropriate for the California system. These ISO Planning Standards are not intended to duplicate the NERC and WECC reliability standards, but to complement them where it is in the best interests of the security and reliability of the ISO controlled grid. The ISO planning standards will be revised from time to time to ensure they are consistent with the current state of the electrical industry and in conformance with NERC Reliability Standards and WECC Regional Criteria.

    A GENERATIONtodayAHEAD, 2009 ANNUAL REPORT A GENERATIONtodayAHEAD, With America embarking on a journey to a future of clean power, Calpine’s power generation portfolio contains the critical pieces needed to help solve the nation’s energy policy puzzle. One of the most important policy challenges is to assure the right array of power generation resources. Most renewable resources, other than geothermal, are intermittent, presenting reliability challenges. Potential technological solutions are not assured and, in any event, may be many years off. Our geothermal plants at The Geysers are the ideal renewable resource, providing power every minute of every day. Our modern, clean and efficient natural gas plants provide the grid with the flexibility and reliability that allow for the integration of intermittent renewable power, provide American industry with highly efficient steam and power to keep jobs here, and, due to the underulitization of natural gas generation in many regions, provide an existing and immediately viable alternative to burning coal, while emitting less than half the carbon dioxide, a fraction of the sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide, and no mercury, among other site advantages. We are generating solutions for the future, today. Geothermal Generation Calpine owns and operates the nation’s largest baseload renewable energy fleet, consisting of 15 geothermal plants known as Calpine’s Geysers. Calpine’s 121 industrial gas turbines Calpine’s fleet of 22 cogeneration plants, comprise the nation’s largest fleet converting the nation’s largest, provide industrial clean-burning natural gas into electricity. Gas-Fired Generation customers with thermal energy and power. GENERATING SOLUTIONS for our Shareholders FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: uring 2009, amidst challenging macroeconomic conditions Dand uneven capital markets, Calpine, through a combination of conservative risk management and sound operational, commercial and financial execution, managed to improve financial performance.
