Statement of Timothy J. Meeks Administrator Western
STATEMENT OF TIMOTHY J. MEEKS ADMINISTRATOR WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON WATER AND POWER COMMITTEE ON NATURAL RESOURCES U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES MARCH 15, 2011 EXAMINING THE SPENDING, PRIORITIES AND THE MISSIONS OF THE BONNEVILLE POWER ADMINISTRATION, THE WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION, THE SOUTHWESTERN POWER ADMINISTRATION AND THE SOUTHEASTERN POWER ADMINISTRATION Thank you, Chairman McClintock and members of the Subcommittee. My name is Timothy Meeks. I am the Administrator of the Western Area Power Administration (Western), and I’m proud to be here today to represent Western and to tell you about who we are, and our role in delivering clean, renewable power to the western United States. Who we are and what we do On December 21, 1977, high gas prices and a concern over reliable energy supplies led Congress to create the Department of Energy, including the Western Area Power Administration—a new agency to market and deliver Federal hydropower within a 15-state region of the central and western United States. More than three decades later, our mission of delivering clean, renewable energy continues to be crucial in meeting today's energy demands. Federal hydropower has been 1 critical in providing reliable electricity to light homes and drive industry in small towns and large communities, and on Tribal lands and military bases. As one of four power marketing administrations within the U.S. Department of Energy, we market hydropower generated at 56 multi-use Federal water projects operated by the Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the International Boundary and Water Commission. -

2019 ENDTF Reliability Assessment Report
System Resilience Under Extreme Natural Disaster January 8, 2020 System Resilience Under Extreme Natural Disaster Executive Summary The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate the impact of an extreme natural disaster on the reliability of the Bulk Electric System (BES) in the Western Interconnection (WI). Given that the WI experiences extreme disasters somewhat regularly, such as yearly wild fires and occasional extreme earthquakes, this assessment is designed to identify challenges to the resilience of the WI and to help transmission providers plan accordingly. The scope of this assessment includes studying the impact on WI system adequacy and system stability within a Year 10 future in an Extreme Event caused by California wild fires. This case study was inspired by California’s Tucker Wild Fire in July 2019. The assessment used WECC’s 2028 Anchor Data Set (ADS) planning cases to model a Production Cost Model (PCM) analysis using ABB’s GridView software and a Power Flow (PF) Model analysis using GE’s PSLF software. To identify a highly stressed system condition, the assessment started with the ADS 2028 PCM Phase 1 V2.2, and identified August 7, 2028, Hour 20 (08/07/2018 Hr. 20) as the hour when Path 66 (COI) and Path 65 (PDCI) were most heavily loaded, and the danger of fire was highest. The generation dispatch and load for the 08/07/2028 Hr. 20 were extracted from the 2028 ADS PCM Phase 1 V2.2 and used as input for the 2028 Heavy Summer 1 base case to create a PF case for the assessment.
