Specifically, Liberty Utilities is in compliance with the EPS. Other than the 12 MW Kings Beach Generating Station which is uses for only emergency back- up support and whose generation is restricted by air permits to no more than 1440 MWh in each calendar year, Liberty CalPeco has no generation facilities and no long-term financial commitments for generation. Liberty CalPeco entered into a contract with NV Energy for a period of less than five years beginning 1-1-2016, expiring 12-30-2020. The commission approved the purchase power agreement in Decision 15-12-021. In the Purchase Power Agreement, Valmy coal fires generating facility was removed for this contract period. Effective Date: March 15, 2018 Tier Designation: Tier 2 Designation Purpose This Attestation Letter provides information and documentation required by D.07-01-039. This Attestation Letter demonstrates that for 2017 Liberty Utilities has entered into financial commitments that are in compliance with the EPS (long-term financial commitments defined on Page 3 of Attachment 7 in D.07-01-039). 1 Liberty Utilities (CalPeco Electric) LLC 933 Eloise Avenue South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 Tel: 800‐782‐2506 Fax: 530‐544‐4811 Background D.07-01-039 requires all Load Serving Entities (“LSEs”) to file annual Attestation Letters, due February 15th of each year, attesting to the Commission that the financial commitments entered into for generation during the prior calendar year are in compliance with the EPS. D.07-01-039 requires LSEs to file Attestation Letters as an advice letter and serve the Attestation Letter on the service list in Rulemaking (“R.”) 06-04-009. This Attestation Letter is filed pursuant to that process. D.07-01-039 requires LSEs to include a listing of long-term financial commitments of five years or longer that they have entered into during the prior year. Furthermore, D.07-01-039 requires additional documentation demonstrating that LSEs have complied with the EPS. Specifically, D.07-01-039 requires LSEs to provide documentation to demonstrate: (a) That the commitments were not “covered procurements” under the interim EPS rule and/or (b) For those that represent covered procurements, documentation demonstrating that such procurements are EPS-compliant, including any contracts with a term of five years or longer that include provisions for substitute energy purchases. (c) For any requested reliability-based exemptions that have been pre- approved by the Commission, a reference to the application and Commission decision number. D.07-01-039 requires all LSEs to disclose the investment amount and type of alteration to retained generation, by generation facility and unit. D.07-01-039 also advises LSEs to present documentation regarding the design and intended use of the powerplant(s) underlying their new long-term financial commitments utilizing the sources of information listed in § 8341(b)(4), as well as any other sources of documentation that they believe will be relevant to this determination. D.07-01-039 emphasizes that the key concept is to establish the design and intended use of the powerplant. Accordingly, documentation of the annualized plant capacity factor for the powerplant should include historical annual averages in order to help determine whether the plant is “designed and intended” to be used for baseload generation. D.07-01-039 requires LSEs to provide documentation of capacity factors, heat rates and corresponding emissions rates that reflect the actual, expected operations of the plant. This Attestation Letter comports with the requirements outlined above. 2 Liberty Utilities (CalPeco Electric) LLC 933 Eloise Avenue South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 Tel: 800‐782‐2506 Fax: 530‐544‐4811 Protests This compliance filing is not subject to protest pursuant to General Order 96-B, Energy Industry Rule 9.
