When we originally decided to use my staff meetings for "graduate education"
one of the hot topics was the electric industry. We all had a first lesson
on this topic in Shelley's electricity seminar last summer. Now, John and
Kevin have graciously agreed to join us Tuesday at 1:30 to discuss recent
developments in electric markets and NN's and TW's efforts to attract power
generation load to the system. Specific topics I hope to cover include the
following:
1. What are the key factors that determine where a power plant developer
puts his plant?
2. Do the transmission access and pricing rules of the various
utilities/power pools vary all that much or are Order 888 tariffs pretty much
the same all over?
3. How do IPPs decide what fuel supply strategy works best (i.e., buy
bundled delivered fuel from someone vs. buy gas, storage, transport, etc.
separately)?
4. What is the RTO Rule and why should we care?
5. Has $5/mmbtu gas killed the gas fired power market?
Depending on how deeply we get into these topics, we may need to schedule a
follow-up session at a later date. I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.
