ENERGY SECTOR TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP (ESTL) V
OVERVIEW
BACKGROUND In October 2013, The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded International Resources Group (IRG), a wholly owned subsidiary of Engility Corporation (hereafter referred to as Engility) the Energy Sector Technical Leadership (ESTL) task order under the Clean Energy IDIQ Contract for Non-Critical Priority Countries. The purpose of the task order is to support clean energy capacity building initiatives for USAID professionals and in-country energy stakeholders. The main objectives of ESTL are to design, develop, and deliver a wide range of training materials to assist USAID in building capacity and knowledge in energy development practices and policies. These training materials include on-line tutorials on crucial energy development topics; interactive, multiple day workshops delivered by energy experts from government and the private sector; and videos featuring USAID projects in energy and their impact on developing countries. These courses and trainings are designed for development specialists in missions and developing countries throughout the world at introductory, intermediate, and advanced levels of experience in energy systems and development. There are two line items of performance covered in this report: activities associated with cost plus fixed fee completion (CPFF Completion) and activities associated with cost plus fixed fee term (CPFF Term). This is the first annual report (Fiscal Year (FY) 2014) submitted in accordance with the contract requirements and covers the performance period of October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014. It serves as a tool for monitoring the project’s progress and achievements during this period and provides a summary of project activities, accomplishments, constraints or problems.
CONTRACT HIGHLIGHTS During the fourth quarter, ESTL: (1) completed on-location video production for two Haiti videos on improved cook stoves. ESTL also delivered to USAID a fine cut Creole video on cook stoves in Haiti; (2) ESTL drafted, designed, and delivered two on-line modules that serve as prerequisites to the Fundamentals of Energy Workshop; (3) initiated website design and construction using the external “drupal” website design featured on the USAID.gov website; (4) helped organize and coordinate content upgrades for the Energy Efficiency tool kit; (5) provided support for the Commercially Operating Mini- Grid Systems Conference sponsored by USAID, the World Bank, and the United Nations Foundation; (6) redesigned the Fundamentals for Energy Systems Workshop to include four days of presentations with new presentations and new case studies; (7) assisted with planning for the 2014 Infrastructure Workshop; and (8) initiated development of a new database to support future ESTL trainings.

Exhibit 1. Activity Summary for Project Year One
PROJECT DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT ESTL’s Work Plan and Performance Monitoring Plan were initiated in the first quarter of the year and developed in consultation with the USAID/E3/EI/Energy Team to identify priority needs for training events and training tools. The work plan guides the initial activities under ESTL and leaves sufficient flexibility to allow ESTL to meet ad hoc training needs and requests as they arise.
INFRASTRUCTURE WORKSHOP 2013 For the fourth consecutive year, Engility supported Ellen Dragotto and Nancy Leahy Martin in USAID’s Office of Engineering and Infrastructure within the Bureau of Economic Growth, Education and Environment Office (E3) to organize and execute the Infrastructure Workshop for USAID Washington
2 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
and Mission staff. The workshop was held December 16 – 20, 2013 at the FHI 360 Conference Center in Washington, DC. Engility: (1) coordinated the logistics for the conference, including organizing and staffing the conference site; (2) managed ongoing registrations for the workshop, sending confirmation emails with workshop information to new registrants, providing USAID with the roster on a weekly basis; (3) contracted to provide presenters with PowerPoint support and training; (4) provided specialized hotel and travel information to registrants as needed; (5) provided logistical and contractual assistance for participation of three workshop speakers; (6) coordinated international speakers via Skype working with three different moderators to add an interactive element to their modules; and (7) provided conference evaluations questionnaires and collected and prepared evaluations of the conference. Despite a setback in planning efforts due to the 2013 Federal government shutdown, USAID’s 2013 Infrastructure in Regional Development workshop was the most well attended infrastructure workshop in the last three years – 85 people attended, representing 21 USAID Missions, two Bureaus, six offices, and four non-USAID government offices. The 2013 Infrastructure Workshop sponsored by USAID was overwhelming evaluated by participants as successful. Of the participants who completed the end of workshop evaluation, 90.7% described their training experience as positive, and 83.72% felt that the program contributed to their career development. Evaluations were received from 47 participants (55%); a detailed summary of the responses can be found in the first quarterly report.
POWERING AGRICULTURE CONFERENCE Engility provided assistance for the Powering Agriculture Winners Announcement and Conference that took place on December 11, 2013 at the Ronald Reagan Building. The Powering Agriculture Grand Challenge offered grand prizes for market-based, clean energy innovations for the agricultural sphere in developing countries. The conference announced the 12 Grand Prize winners. Engility (1) assisted with event solicitations and registration; (2) provided technical support and content development for the PowerAg website; (3) devised a social media promotion strategy across different platforms; (4) provided social media support before, during, and after the conference event; (5) provided synchronous LiveCast technical support and broadcasting; (6) staffed and managed the online LiveCast; (7) provided the main conference photography; and (8) developed a post-conference survey instrument to help KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF ENGILITY’S evaluate different aspects of the conference. ELECTRONIC SUPPORT FOR POWERING AGRICULTURE EVENT PROMOTION, SOLICITATION, AND • Increased PoweringAg Twitter account’s REGISTRATION followers by 13% in 9 days Due to the government shutdown, Engility received this • Invitations sent to 26,723 recipients, with task relatively close to the conference date. To assist an above-average open rate of 23%

Given the brief time period, this was a very successful e-mail campaign.
ENERGY SECTOR TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP (ESTL) 3 SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY AND PROMOTION In addition to e-mail, Engility-IRG developed a social media strategy that promoted the event to awardees, sponsors, and USAID accounts on Twitter and Facebook. Engility’s social media strategy included promotions before, during, and after the conference event. The main elements of the media strategy was (1) to make readers aware of the Powering Agriculture event; (2) to push registration links to PoweringAg’s target organizations; (3) to provide reminders to attend the event; and (4) to retweet promotional responses. Survey results show that the social media strategy was successful at driving registration through Twitter, but not through Facebook.
ON-LINE MODULES In the first year of ESTL, Engility undertook the revision of one on-line learning module, and the development of two new modules. ESTL began with revising “The Energy Sector” section of the Infrastructure and Development on-line course to develop the stand-alone, on-line energy infrastructure module. The new stand-alone module will be called “Energy Systems and Development: USAID Approaches to Improved Energy Outcomes.” When completed, this module will be a narrated, interactive, on-line introduction to energy systems with up-to-date illustrations of USAID energy projects in each of the four USAID priority areas, including energy access, clean energy, energy for economic development, and energy for disaster assistance. Engility and Energy Markets Group (EMG) are jointly responsible for delivery of this module, with EMG providing expert content and Engility responsible for technical module design and desktop functioning. ESTL initiated work on the module during the second quarter and continued work during the third quarter. Ahmad Ghamarian contributed additional content to this module and its development continued during the fourth quarter. However full completion of this module was postponed. In consultation with Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) Ellen Dragotto, it was decided that ESTL should complete this module in the first quarter 2014. This allowed Engility to complete two other modules that supported the Fundamentals of Energy Course. This course will be finished in the first quarter of 2015.
FUNDAMENTAL COURSE MODULES Emerging from the June 2014 Fundamentals of Energy Systems workshop was the need for an on-line learning tool to familiarize participants with common energy sector terms and the basics of energy sector finance prior to the start of the workshop. Engility, working with USAID COR Ellen Dragotto, planned two separate on-line modules to support the Fundamentals of Energy Systems Workshop, planned for the first quarter of 2014 in Pretoria, South Africa. These modules, which will each take about 35 minutes to complete, were planned, drafted, created, and evaluated during the fourth quarter by Engility. USAID staff reviewed draft copies of these modules. The modules are designed to serve as prerequisites for participants enrolled in “The Fundamentals of Energy Systems for Program Managers.” The modules are called “Understanding Financial Terms and Concepts for Energy Systems” and “Understanding Technical Terms and Concepts for Electricity Provision.” The idea for these modules originally grew out of the idea that some participants in the “Fundamentals Workshop” required preparations for the presentations in the course. Michael Cain, Ahmad Ghamarian (EMG), Allison Nederveld (Engility), Dar Maxwell (Engility), Barry Shaeffer (Engility), and John Works (Engility) contributed to the creation of these on-line modules. One module focuses on technical terms associated with power and electricity systems while the second module focuses on financial terms associated with energy systems. The half-hour, on-line technical term module provides a basic understanding of how electricity systems function, including power generation, transmission, and distribution. The half-hour
4 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
on-line finance module provides a basic understanding of economic concepts and financial terms used for comparing the value of energy projects. The final deliverables will be housed on the USAID LMS website.
Sample slide from Understanding Financial Terms & Concepts Module (Appendix A)
It is anticipated that these courses will also be redeveloped to stand alone as separate course modules. Both modules were drafted in FY14 and will be finalized following feedback from participants of the November 2014 (FY15) Fundamentals of Energy Systems workshop in Johannesburg, South Africa. Copies of each course can be found in Appendices A and B.
ENERGY TOOLKITS WEBSITE Engility held internal planning meetings in the second quarter to determine how to best develop the energy tool kit website and made a preliminary proposal. Engility proposed to better understand the audiences and purposes of the website as well as understand the range of content to be included in the website. In anticipation of new content, Engility investigated different methods and techniques to present diverse types of content; Engility also researched other websites that complement, compare or possibly compete with a redesigned Energy toolkit website. Our work with USAID on the redesign of this website and toolkits will naturally develop in stages through the course of the ESTL contract and it was decided to begin with two stages of website development: Phase I and Phase II. Phase I development of the website will add two new toolkits and redesign the look, name, and URL address of the website. Phase I will also include new methods to search the website and decisions about what elements in the old website will be migrated to the new
ENERGY SECTOR TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP (ESTL) 5 website. Phase II website design will include improving and finalizing designs on the upgraded tool kits and beginning redesigns on additional tool kits. In terms of audience, we agree with USAID’s desire to reach development professionals, broadly understood. We expect USAID development specialists and other donor professionals to be particularly interested in the content of the new website. We also expect to attract professionals who are interested in energy as it relates to international development; this includes contractors, academics, and energy industry specialists. With regard to the purposes of this website, we see the website as an important database for those interested in learning about energy development policies and energy development practices, with particular emphasis on USAID. We envision the new website to host additional content covering a wide array of USAID resources, USAID and non-USAID case studies, interactive maps, upgraded toolkit training resources for professionals at different knowledge levels, links to sources throughout the website, knowledge checks, etc. In the third quarter, ESTL surveyed the Bureau of Economic Growth, Education and Environment Office (E3) regarding their needs for upgrading energy toolkits. ESTL identified two toolkits to upgrade: Energy Efficiency Training and Fuel Efficient Stove Program modules. On May 8, 2014 ESTL held a meeting at Engility’s offices in Alexandria to coordinate work with ICF International on the energy efficiency toolkit. ESTL received an outline of the energy efficiency training upgrade proposal in the fourth quarter from ICF, and negotiated and coordinated a schedule of deliverables. Engility continued Phase I development on the website, began coordination and planning for improving the cook stove toolkit, and continued work on upgrading the energy efficiency toolkits. Engility, working with USAID and ICF, began implementation of phased improvements in the energy efficiency toolkit. ICF provided ESTL with a work plan for improving the website and a set of deliverables for improvements. During the fourth quarter, ESTL also developed a strategy for replacing content on the energy toolbox website and migrating content to the new website. ESTL recommended and gained approval for using the USAID.gov website to house new content. This would increase traffic to the website and it would be supported by existing infrastructure. It will also save money since additional programmers and server administrators will not be required. In this quarter, ESTL developed a new home page for the energy toolbox site, along with new templates and branding. ESTL is developing search analytics that will be consistent with USAID.gov requirements. After consultations with USAID, Pamela Baldinger, and a representative of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), ESTL also started work with consultant Elisha Moore to propose changes on the improved cook stove toolkit. ESTL will begini of Phase I changes to the cook stove toolkit in the first quarter of 2014.
HAITI VIDEO PRODUCTION Toward the ESTL objective of providing educational and communication services that support USAID’s mission to assist countries in developing affordable, clean and reliable energy systems, Engility has been asked to develop two documentary films on a USAID initiative in Haiti, called the Improved Cooking Technology (ICT) program. The first video will target local television audiences in Haiti and describe the production, transportation, distribution, and use of charcoal, the detrimental impacts of charcoal use on the environment and human health, and show the economic and health benefits of using USAID ICT- approved gas cook stoves and improved biomass cook stoves. The second video will be a compelling human interest documentary video directed at an American audience that documents the negative effects of the charcoal production chain on Haiti’s environment, particularly its contribution to physical and weather disasters, as well as the negative impacts on the country’s economy. Engility made significant
6 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
progress on the production of the videos in the first year. Engility completed the competitive bidding process and evaluation and selection of a firm, delivered a finished Creole script, and finished all filming production. During the third and fourth quarters, Engility reviewed videography firms in the Washington, DC area, and identified and invited six firms to bid on a Request for Quotations (RFQ) to prepare videos on improved cook stoves in Haiti. Among these six firms, five submitted bids to Engility. After the evaluation process. ESTL selected the best value proposal to complete two videos on improved cook stoves in Haiti and signed a subcontract with Sutherland Media, a woman-owned, small business. Engility initiated meetings with Sutherland Media and Simone Lawaetz and Ellen Dragotto of USAID; we later coordinated meetings with Sutherland Media, USAID Washington, USAID Haiti, and Chemonics, the task lead for the Improved Cook Stoves Project in Haiti, to review plans for the project, schedules, and work to be completed. Sutherland Media provided their first deliverables for the project in this quarter, which included a work plan, video outlines, interview guides, and lists of interviews to be completed in Haiti and Washington, DC. During the fourth quarter, Engility, working with sub-contractor Sutherland Media and USAID’s Simone Lawaetz and Tina Balin Berridge, went on location in Port-au-Prince Haiti to begin video production of the two videos. Video production in Haiti lasted for 10 days and video production in Washington, DC included one day of interviews. Chief of Party Michael Cain was in the field for seven days of video production with Sutherland Media and USAID Simone Lawaetz. On-location video interviews included multiple street vendors cooking with charcoal; families cooking with traditional stoves, improved charcoal, and improved gas stoves; working women in the Sonapi industrial park cooking with improved gas stoves; US Ambassador Pamela White; former Haitian Minister–delegate of Energy, Rene Jean Jumeau; Ms. Pascale Mardy, Director, La Maison de Nos Petits Enfants; Duquesne Fednard, President, D & E Green Enterprises; Chief of Party, Improved Cook Stoves Project, Michelet Fontaine. In addition to these interviews, several staged production with Haitian comedian Tom Male were also completed on location. During the fourth quarter, ESTL approved a set of deliverables associated with the Creole and English language videos, including post-production outlines for each video; rough-cut and fine cut scripts for the Creole version; style guide for animations; narrations; and rough-cut and fine-cut video approvals for the Creole version. Sutherland completed a fine cut of the film in the fourth quarter and screened the film on September 30, 2014. Joan Ablett (Engility), Pamela Baldinger (USAID), Michael Cain, Ellen Dragotto, and Simone Lawaetz attended the screening and provided feedback. Film lock and completion for the Creole version of the video is expected late October 2014. The English language version of the video is expected in December 2014. ESTL also was given permission by USAID to contract with Haitian comedian Tom Male to perform several comedy sketches for the Creole version of this video. ESTL also asked permission to contract with Sutherland Media for a three-minute trailer for the Haiti video. These approvals were granted and required a modification to Sutherland’s contract that increased the subcontract total in the amount of $18,077. Deliverable for the three-minute trailer is expected in November 2014.
THE FUNDAMENTALS OF ENERGY SYSTEMS FOR PROGRAM MANAGERS Engility worked closely with USAID to develop and deliver the first comprehensive ESTL training workshop entitled “The Fundamentals of Energy Systems for Program Managers.” This workshop, held in Washington, DC on June 23 – 25, 2014, introduced program managers to fundamental concepts associated with energy systems, including electricity systems, the importance of natural gas, and hydrocarbon fuels to energy power provision and introduced participants to renewable energy, and
ENERGY SECTOR TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP (ESTL) 7 energy efficiency. Using these concepts, the workshop sought to explain how the scale, cost, and function of energy provision influences development outcomes. Major topics included understanding the electricity value chain and assessing energy costs, understanding the promise and limits of clean and renewable energies, implications of renewables for grid design, and utility regulation. Workshop instructors included staff from USAID (Allen Eisendrath, Steve Burns, Ellen Dragotto, Jeff Haeni, Misrak Brhane, Matthew Emry, Stephanie Bogle, Kathryn Stratos, and Ryan Shelby), Engility (Michael Cain), EMG (Ahmad Ghamarian) and ICF International (Bill Prindle and Kiran Kumaraswamy). Each instructor presented on their areas of expertise in the energy sector, and served as resources of information for participants during the workshop. The workshop was attended by 25 USAID staff who represented seven country Missions, six Bureaus, and the US Global Development Lab. Participants completed daily surveys during the workshop intended to capture their attitudes and impressions of each element of the workshop, including the level of technical specialization and relevance of the material to workshop participants. The results of these surveys show that a majority of respondents found the workshop informative (78.26%) and reported that the sessions kept their interest (82.61%). While participants found the organization of the workshop to be sound and reasonable, many suggested that at least one day be added to the agenda so that topics could be covered in greater detail. Full survey responses can be found in the third quarterly report.
EVALUATION HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE 2014 FUNDAMENTALS WORKSHOP The 2014 workshop was designed to provide participants with information and experiences that will increase their capacity to manage energy projects. The workshop was attended by 25 USAID staff who represented seven country Missions, six Bureaus, and the US Global Development Lab. While the background and degree of experience in the energy sector varied across the participants, they all reported that the workshop held their interest for the entirety of the three days. Highlights from the Workshop
78% of all participants strongly agreed the sessions were informative. Another 83% of participants strongly agreed the sessions kept their interest. – “Great learning environment, good information, interactive sessions.” Participants found the expert presenters engaging and knowledgeable on their topic 80% of the time, with most instructors being rated above 90%. – “…really well done, addressing important concepts in energy in ways that were not too in the weeds.” Respondents also found great value in almost all of the sessions. at least 90% of respondents found the sessions to be somewhat relevant if not highly relevant – “I enjoyed the broad overview of different concepts such as energy poverty, access, energy efficiency and demand side management.” Consistently, participants found each session useful, if not very useful… “for the purpose of introducing and reinforcing relevant information." – “I enjoyed the case stud[ies] to make it more real to the work that we do.” – It was especially important to “…look at the financial and technical aspects involved in decision making on renewables integration.”
Starting in Quarter 3 of FY14, ESTL began revising the workshop agenda, adjusting and cleaning up presentations, and developing a glossary of frequently used terms in order to improve the workshop. During Quarter 4, FY14, Chief of Party Michael Cain working with COR Ellen Dragotto coordinated
8 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
efforts to improve the workshop entitled the Fundamentals of Energy Systems for Program Managers. The original design for the workshop was completed in June, 2014. Based on survey responses from participants and experiences from the June Fundamentals workshop, the original organization of the workshop was redesigned to include an additional day of training. ESTL team members met with Power Africa staff at USAID on August 8, 2014 and evaluated the learning needs of Power Africa staff. It was decided that new training should be tailored to assist with the Power Africa initiative with new case studies, additional sections, a new organization of the agenda, and getting an additional expert on transaction. The new workshop includes special sections on environmental compliance and topics on energy and gender. The next offering of the workshop is planned for November 2014 in Pretoria, South Africa.
TRAINING ALUMNI DATABASE ESTL is developing a database in order to keep track of participants who have attended USAID/E3/EI workshops and trainings from the last 10 years. The database will contain information obtained through the workshop registration process, including employing organization, Mission/Bureau, and email address as well as historical information about the USAID/E3/EI trainings and events that they have attended. This information will form the foundational content from which pre-determined queries will be created to generate reports on the frequency of an individual’s attendance at workshops/trainings, the number of participants at workshops/trainings over time, and regional representation at workshops/trainings. USAID will also be able to request tailored reports as needed, and data collection fields may be added or deleted over time as the needs of USAID evolve.

1.5 Levelized Cost of Energy
Notes:
As we just saw, there is great variability in how tariffs are generally established for each generation technology and how tariffs can be compared across different generation technologies. Click the remote to learn more about the comparison of costs across technologies.
Let’s chat for a second about the Levelized Cost of Energy. LCOE, is a method for analyzing energy costs that
Understanding Financial Terms and Concepts for Energy Systems October 10, 2014 “levelizes” the components -that is, it allows for comparison of costs across different technologies, fuel types, and time. And yes, coffee is fuel.
There are a few things you need to know in order to compute the LCOE for a project. First, you need to determine project costs. That includes the capital costs of starting and building a project; the costs of operating the project such as taxes, salaries, maintenance, and supplies; and the cost of fuel.
These costs need to be adjusted by a discount rate. No, I’m not talking about a great sale! A discount rate is the rate at which the value of money is assumed to grow. This is based on the concept that money has time value. This means the money you have today is more valuable than that same money in the future because its value can be increased through investment. By discounting future money by this rate, you get the present value of that money. Net present value is then found by adding all of the present values of individual cash flows from the project.
To find the LCOE, you simply divide the present value of the total cost of a project over its lifetime by the total amount of electricity generated by the project over its lifetime. This represents the average cost/kWh for that project over its useful life.
Why does LCOE matter? Good question!
LCOE helps companies secure financing by showing the banks that a project is financially sound.
It also helps to set energy tariffs. For example, if the LCOE of a project is 8 cents/kWh, then a company would need to charge the customer a tariff of 8 cents per kWh just to break even. LCOE allows companies to justify tariff rates that are both fair for the consumer and profitable for the company and its shareholders so that everyone wins.

1. Technical Terms & Concepts
1.1 Welcome
Notes:
Welcome to this module on Understanding Technical Terms and Concepts for Electricity Provision. This module is a prerequisite for the Fundamentals of Energy Systems workshop.
Understanding Technical Terms & Concepts for Electricity Provision October 6, 2014 1.2 Objectives
Notes:
This module will only take about 30 minutes of your time.
By the end, you should be able to discuss the three main elements of power systems and how they relate to electricity or power provision from a technical perspective. This image will guide us on our journey of those 3 elements of power systems as we look at power generation, transmission, and distribution.
Let’s start with Power Generation.

Notes:
Electricity production and consumption (supply and demand) is special because power producers need to generate an amount of electricity that is almost exactly the amount demanded by the consumer. Any more, then electrical power is wasted; any less then brown outs or black outs are possible.

Understanding Technical Terms & Concepts for Electricity Provision October 6, 2014 1.8 Variable Renewable Energy
Notes:
Renewable energy generation, such as power generated by hydro, geothermal, wind or solar, is valued not only because there are no fuel costs associated with production, but also because they do not emit CO2 or other harmful emissions.
However one of the challenges associated with using renewable energy is fluctuating output. For example wind speeds and solar radiation vary over time, sometimes in predictable ways and other times in less predictable ways. These sources are called Variable renewable energy (VRE). VRE production is usually bound to specific locations, where wind speeds are high or where the sun shines more brightly and more often, in order to maximize generation.
Intermittent Energy refers to any energy source that is not continuously available due to some factor outside our direct control. Intermittency in an electric power system is comprised of both variability in production and uncertainty in the load or the availability of power. When the amount of power generated from intermittent sources increases above 10%, special technical changes to the transmission network are required to integrate variable renewable energy sources into the power system to insure the reliability of electrical supply.
Understanding Technical Terms & Concepts for Electricity Provision October 6, 2014 Distributed Generation (Slide Layer)
Most countries generate electricity in large centralized generation facilities, such as fossil fuel (coal, gas or oil fired) plants, nuclear, large solar power plants or hydropower plants. These plants have excellent economies of scale, but usually transmit electricity long distances and can negatively affect the environment. Distributed generation allows integration of energy from many small energy sources including renewables (solar, wind and micro hydro) and may give lower environmental impacts and improved security of supply.
Understanding Technical Terms & Concepts for Electricity Provision October 6, 2014 1.9 Transmission
Notes:
Once electricity is generated, it needs to be sent to customers through a transmission network or electrical grid.

Understanding Technical Terms & Concepts for Electricity Provision October 6, 2014 1.11 Meeting the Demand
Notes:
One of the most important factors for a particular electrical generation plant is the actual cost of its electricity production. Those plants with lowest marginal costs are first ones to be dispatched to meet demand. Electrical generation plants with highest marginal costs are last to be brought on line. This gives us the concept of merit order: a way of ranking available sources of electrical generation in ascending order of their short-run marginal costs of production in order to minimize cost of production of electricity.
The graph on the screen shows one example of how this may work over the period of a year. In this example, hydroelectricity would be used the most often to meet demand. After this a power system would most often use wind and nuclear, followed by combined heat and power (or CHP), coal, oil, and gas.

2.4 Summary
Understanding Technical Terms & Concepts for Electricity Provision October 6, 2014
Generation No power plant runs at its full nameplate capacity all the time. Instead, power plants operate at different capacities. The capacity factor of a power plant refers to the … (continue with your sentence). Electricity supply and demand has daily and seasonal variation. Supplying sufficient amounts of power require long term planning that can help a system meet base and peak load power demands using low cost, sustainable generation. Renewable energy has important benefits, but it also poses significant challenges to power systems when it is scaled up. One challenge is the problem of intermittency. This challenge can be met using new smart grid technologies and new grid integration techniques.
Transmission Transmission networks require a Transmission Services Provider and a System Operator to maintain efficient, reliable supplies of electricity to customers. These providers and operators are responsible for the daily scheduling and dispatch of power, guided by the principle of merit order. When the demand for electricity is greater than the supply, a System Operator must employ load shedding strategies to cope with inadequate power supplies to avoid black outs or brown outs. In a well-regulated power system, reserve margins help insure against load shedding. Importing additional supplies of electricity, if available through bilateral trades or power pools, can help System Operators avoid load shedding. Demand Side Management and Smart Grids are planning tools designed to decrease future demands for power by cutting system losses, creating customer efficiencies, and improving grid operations.
Distribution Distribution Companies or DISCOs maintain the local electricity network, purchase wholesale electricity from power generation companies, and collect payments from customers. Purchasing power from Generation Companies or GENCOs can occur through different types of contracts, including long term Power Purchase Agreements
