February 1979 I.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of this environmental standard review plan (ESRP) is to direct the staf f's review and evaluation of the applicant's present and planneu generating capability and the present and planned purchases and sales of power and energy.
The scope of the review directed by this plan will include consideration of the type (e.g., coal-fired) and function (e.g., h seload) of the applicant's plants, the nature of purchases and sales (firm and nonfirm) of power and energy, and any proposed additions, retirements, redesignations, deratings, or upratin6s of the applicant's plants.
II.
REQUIRED DATA AND INFORMATION The following data and information will usually be required:
A.
Planned generating capability at the expected peakload period of each year, beginning with the year of application (current year) and continuing through the third year of commercial operation of the proposed project.
B.
A listing of each generator with a capacity of 100 Mwe or greater in operation at the time of application, planned and proposed capa'bility additions thereafter, including scheduled date of operation, retirements or deratings, redesignation (e.g., baseload to intermediate), and upratings for 3 years after operation of the proposed project.
Each generator should be categorized as to type (i.e., hydroelectric, coal, oil, gas, nuclear, pumped storage) and function (i.e., baseload, intermediate, peaking).
Estimates of projected capacity factor ranges and average variable costs
- for each unit tabulated shoult be provided.
Small peaking units may t a lumped into a single category for simplicity.
C.
Definition of the terms baseload, intermediate, peaking, firm and nonfirm sales and purchases as applicable to the applicant's system.
- The average variable costs include fuel costs and variable operating and maintenar.ce costs in mills /kWh calculated for the initial year of operation of th? proposed project.
\\h 8.3-2
February 1979 D.
The ratio of baseload capacity to total capacity for the 15 years prior to the date of application, and for each year through the third year of commercial operation of the proposed project.
E.
The energy to be generated by function and type of all facilities for the first year of commercial operation of the proposed project.
F.
Factors that affect or may affect power plant availability (e.g.,
plant reliability, environmental regulations, scarcity of fuels).
G.
Annual net firm and nonfirm power sales and purchases or interchange agreements for the year of application and for each subsequent year through the third year of commercial operation of the proposed project.
III.
ANALYSIS PROCEDURE The reviewer will segregate the applicant's plants by fuel type and consider the present and future availability of the indicated fuel.
The reviewer will identify any factors (e.g.,
air quality regulations, forced outages of long duration) that have affected past plant availability or capacity factor and will consider how these factors may af fect planned availability or capacity f actor.
The reviewer will relate the applicart's definitions of baseload, inter-mediate and peaking plants to other accepted uses of these terms.
(The perform-ance of the applicant's present plants can be found in Federal Power Commission (FPC) Form 12, Schedule 1.)
Where the applicant's designations do not conform to accepted uses, the reviewer will determine the reason for the dif ferences.
The reviewer will analyze the applicant's present and planned generation mix in light of the applicant's present and planned purchases and sales (firm and nonfirm) of power and energy.
Nonfirm purchases and sales of power will be included in the reviewer's consideration of the capability of the applicant's 6
system, and firm sales and purchases of power will be included in his considera-tion of the applicant's peakload responsibility.
The reviewer will consider 8.3-3 109 nm dI
February 1979 the applicant's role as either a net purchaser or net seller and will quantify shifts in the applicant's position over time; that is, whether the applicant is becoming more or less dependent on purchasing power from or selling power to )ther systems.
The reviewer will identify and determine the reasons for any v sual purchases or sales that have occurred.
The reviewei will also consi 'er the possibility of reduction in overall capacity requirements for the region that could be accomplished by the wheeling and pooling of power.
Where the applicant plans deratings, redesignations, or retirements (whose total is 200 MW or more) within approximately 2 years (before or af ter) of the proposed date of commercial operation of the proposed project, the reviewer will determine the reasons for such a change.
The reviewer will determine the reasons for all 100 Kd or larger unit redesignations or retire-ments.
The reviewer will analyze the historical, present, and projected ratio of baseload capacity to total capacity and will determine reasons for any large variations in this ratio over time.
IV.
EVALUATION The reviewer will determine whether or not:
A.
The description of present and planned capacity correctly identifies baseload, intermediate, and peaking units end that planned additions are reasonable; B.
The description of present and planned purchases and sales of power and energy correctly identifies the applicant's capabilities to sell or need to purchase; C.
Plans for redesignation or re-rating of generating capacity have been explained and are reasonable; D.
The proposed baseload fraction of the applicant's total,cepacity is appropriate.

INPUT TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT This section of the environmental statement will normally be divided into two subsections:
8.3.1, Ex sting and Planned Gererating Capacity, and 8.3.2, i
Purchases and Sales.
A.
ES Section 8.3.1 will summarize the applicant's present and planned generating capacity.
The applicant's present capacity by type and any planned additions, upratings, deratings, and retirements (by unit) should be shown in a table.
The capacity in the applicant's power pool and reliability council will also be summarized and supported by a table (or tables) when appropriate.
The reviewer may refer to the reliability council' c annual rnnnet tc the FPC for the relevant information.
B.
ES Section 8.3.2 will summarize the ef fect of the applicant's pur-chases and sales on load and capability. The reviewer must distinguish between (1) energy and power sales (or purchases), (2) firm and nonfirm sales (or purchases), and (3) on peak and off peak sales (or purchases).
The reviewer should consult FPC Form 12, Schedules 8 and 9.
A table may support the discussion.
The reviewer will provide inputs or ensure that inputs will be made to the following ES Sections:
A.
Section 8.4.
The reviewer will ensure that descriptions of the applicant's existing and planned sources of power and energy satisfy the requirements of the reviewer of ES Section 8.4.
B.
Section 9.1.
The reviewer will provide the reviewer of ES Sec-tion 9.1 with any data concerning restrictions on the use of energy sources available to the applicant.
