Department of Energy Washington, D.C. 20461 DECEMBER 8, 1978 Mr. George W. Knighton, Chief Environmental Projects Branch 1 Division of Site Safety and l Environmental Analysis U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555

Dear Mr. Knighton:

This is the Economic Regulatory Administration's (ERA) response to your letter of February 24, 1978, to Mr. William Lindsay of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, requesting comments on the Nuclear Regula- ,,

tory Commission's (NRC) Draft Supplement to the Final Environmental Statement (FES) related to the proposed issuance of a construction permit to the Houston Lighting and Power Company (HLP) (Applicant) for the -

construction of the Allens Creek Nuclear Generating Unit No. 1 (Docket No. 50-466).

Mr. Lindsay has requested that the staff of the Economic Regulatory Administration (ERA) provide comments on the need-for-power section of the Draft Supplement. Consequently, these comments are forwarded on ,

behalf of the Department of Energy's Assistant Administrator for Utility Systems, ERA. The analysis was developed by the staff of the Power ,

Supply Planning Branch, Division of Power Supply and Reliability, Office of Utility Systems. Our comments are in compliance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, and the August 1, 1973 Guidelines of the Council on Environmental Quality; they are directed to the need for capacity represented by the Allens Creek project, and to related bulk power supply matters concerning system reliability.

In addition, because of DOE's national r ,onsibilities to effect an absolute, overall reduction in the use c. natural gas and oil to generate .

electricity, the fuel consumption implications of the HLP generating system have also been calculated. All future comments from the DOE regarding a test of need for power for all Environmental Impact Statements will include .-

a forecast and evaluation regarding the effectiveness with which the applicant is reducing its oil and gas dependence.

i As NRC indicated in the Draft Supplement to the FES, the Allens Creek l Nuclear Generating Station Unit No. I will provide a net electrical I

output capacity of 1146 MW. Please note, however, that our analysis throughout reflects only a 1130 MW net output capacity for Allens Creek No. 1, as was reported by HLP through the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).

The Draf t Supplement shows a projected in-service date of March,1985 for Allens Creek No. 1. The site of the proposed generating station is located in the southern part of Austin County, Texas, immediately west of the Brazos River and about 45 miles west of the center of Houston. The station is to be wholly owned by the HLP.

In preparing our comments, we have considered not only the analysis and data in the FES, but also the Applicant's Environmental Report and its supplements, and those related reports made in accordance with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Statement of Reliability and Adequacy of Electric Service (Docket No. R-632, Order 383-4), FERC's staff analysis of these documents and other related FERC information.

As a first analytical approach, the applicant's need for bulk power was evaluated relative to long term-energy considerations and to such other considerations as projected peak demand, scheduled capacity additions, projected reserves, and projected annual generation, for the period 1984 through 1987.

We have further enlarged our analysis by using individual unit generation and system performance data for the HLP service area, to compute a series of system simulations relating to: production cost savings through operation of Allen's Creek, system fuel consumption with or without this capacity addition, and system reliability.

These separate analyses are presented in depth, as Part I and Part II of the accompanying report.

Briefly summarized, the conclusions reached in the course of our study are as follows:

1. The capacity additions scheduled for the HLP system, including the Allens Creek Nuclear Generating Station Unit 1, appear minimal in view of projected customer requirement, if reliable service is to be supplied.
2. The installation of Allens Creek No. I would significantly reduce the HLP system dependence on oil and on natural gas.

3. In addition to examining HLP data, we have reviewed the long-range planning program submitted to the DOE on April 1, 1978 by ERCOT, of which HLP is a menber, and we find that the new generating capacity planned by HLP would be of benefit to the Reliability Council in terms of regional power system reliability.

Our analysis indicates a clear need for the Allens Creek station. The details of the study are enclosed. Should you have any questions regarding the analysis, or the supporting data, we would be pleased to furnish our background information.

Part I Bulk Power Load and Capacity Analysis Allens Creek Nuclear Generating Unit No. 1 1985-1987

~ _ . _ . -

Part I - BULK POWER LOAD AND CAPACITY ANALYSIS 6

This section summarizes th9 studies of the peak demand and generating capacity projected for the HLP system. The period covered in the analysis extends from the present through 1987; only summer peak demand and capacity reserves are considered in the analysis.

Table 1 presents the 1978-1967 annual increases in summer peak demand projected by ERCOT, by HLP, and by the balance of the ERCOT systems after the HLP loads have been deducted. The table shows that the projected growth rate of HLP summer peak demand is less that of ERCOT as a whole, and also less than that of all other ERCOT systems combined. Further, the average ten-year growth rate of HLP (4.87% annually) is less than the national average annual increase (5.18%) projected by the nine Regional Electric Reliability Councils in their April 1, 1978 reports to the Department of Energy. The HLP growth rate projected is believed to be reasonable, and possibly conservative.

The generating capacity reserves of HLP arc shown in Table 3, computed from the data of Tables 1 and 2. From 1982 on, the HLP reserves are significantly less than the 15% usually considered the minimum desirable for systems whose generating capacity is all thermally-based. It is evident, of course, that construction of

4 the Allens Creek plant can have no effect on the 1982-84 reserve a margins, but even with the Allens Creek capacity the HLP reserves for 1985 and later will be smaller than those needed for reliable service.

Table 4 shows the effect on HLP reserves if the Allens Creek capacity is not available as scheduled. In 1985, 1986 and 1987 the reserve margins at the time of summer peak demand, on the basis of current load projections, would be far less than the amount considered necessary for reliable service.

The Draft Supplement to the Final Environmental Impact Statement does not discuss the possibility of capacity purchases as an alterna-tive to construction of the Allens Creek unit. Under the heading

" Power Sales and Purchases" (para. S. 8.3.2) the Draft Supplement l

) merely states that the HLP has no commitments for firm interchanges l

or purchases, and has not planned any such activity. We consider it advisable that HLP and the utilities to which it is or could be interconnected review the reliability and cost-related advantages of coordinated and interconnected operation. However, we do not consider that even a high degree of interconnected coordination would be a substitute for all of the 1130 MW that would be provided by the Allens Creek plant. Table 5 shows that the regional ERCOT reserves are projected to decline steadily from 1984 thru 1987. The 1987 margin of 17.81% would be reasonable for a system of ERCOT's size if

6 6

it were strongly interconnected internally and operated as a i

single s y s ,t em , with some interconnections to other regional council areas. Because ERCOT is an electrically isolated region, ERCOT's regional reserves, -i f Allens Creek should not be constructed, would drop to a marginally adequate level in 1987, as shown in Table 6.

Table 7. Since the capability shown in the table includes peaking i

units, which,are expected to operate at low capacity factors, the base load units would operate at actual capacity factors greater than the .557 .591 shown. That i s ., the HLP system would not appear to have any significant amount of excess capacity, from the stand-point of annual energy requirements, following the completion of the Allens Creek unit.

6 factors for letg periods reduces operating flexibility (and -

thereby may increase operating costs) and also reduces the time available for thorough maintenance programs. Inadequate maintenance is a major cause of reduced generating unit reliability.

It is also pertinent to remark upon the use of the Allens Creek nuclear plant as a means of reducing the c,onsumption of . -

fuel would be as shown in Table 10 for the period April 1, 1985 , ,

thru December 31, 1987. i' h e savings would increase thereafter, as the capacity factor of Allens Creek increased.

SUMMARY

In view of all the factors discussed above, The Economic Regulatory Administration considers that the 1130 megawatts of generating capacity represented by the proposed Allens Creek nuclear plant would contribute significantly to the reliability of the HLP system. In addition, the reduction in fossil fuel consumption through the use of nuclear fuel should be considered as an important factor.

Part II Production Cost, Fuel Consumption, and Reliability Analysis Allens Creek Nuclear Generating Unit No. 1 1985-1987

Part II s Production Cost, Fuel Consumption, and Reliability Analysis i

This section contains a summary of the Economic Regulatory Administration findings on the potential impact of the Allens Creek Nuclear Generating Unit #1 on HLP system reliability, on the utility's pattern of fossil fuel consumption, and on system production costs.

The first portion of the analysia is focussed on the effects of potential schedule slippages in Allens Creek #1 construction, as shown below:

Case Scenario A Allens Creek #1 enters service in March 1985 (as currently scheduled by HLP)

B Allens Creek #1 enters service in March 1986 C Allens Creek #1 enters service in March 1987 D Allens Creek #1 cancelled The analytical technique used in this scenario analysis is the PROMOD II production costing computer program. All input data defining the HLP generating system were provided by HLP directly to the ERA staff. These statistical data appear in the appendices following.

It may be noted that in May, 19/8 HLP announced the cancella-J tion of plans to construct a two-unit lignite-fired plant (Freestone 1 and 2) which had been previously scheduled for 1983 and 1984 operation, as a joint venture project with an industrial partner.

Therefore, the capacity analyses appearing in this section do not

2 i

include the 694 MW of capacity, represented by the Freestone units, 4

incorporated into earlier studies.

A Allens Creek #1 43.1 41.0 92.4 on line 3/85 B Allens Creek #1 156.8 41.0 96.9 on line 3/86 C Allens Creek #1 156.8 140.9 97.1 on line 3/87 D Allens Creek #1 156.8 140.9 277.8 cancelled Table 1 indicates that even with Allens Creek No. 1 in-service by March 1985, HLP would, on a probabilistic basis, have insufficient generat-ing capacity to meet projected system demands for a total of 43.1 hours1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> in 1985. Furthermore, without Allens Creek on line in 1985, the HLP system load could possibly exceed available generating capacity (including pre-arranged power transfers) for a total period of 156.8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> -- the equivalent of 6.5 days -- during 1985. The analysis shows also that a one, two, or three-year delay in construction of Allens Creek #1 causes a three-fold increase in the annual, aggregated loss-of-load hours. (It should be noted that the

3 i

reliability analyses presented here assume that the HLP system 4

can import up to 1,000 MW of capacity from surrounding ERCOT members under conditions of emergency.)

In addition to providing a critical link in maintaining the reliability of the HLP system, the installation of Allens Creek #1 would play a key role in reducing HLP dependence upon oil and gas.

As late as 1977, 100 percent of HLP generation was gas-fired.

HLP has advised us of a potentiai 75 percent reduction in the volume of contract natural gas available to the Company's system between now and 1985, but our analysis of the latest HLP generation expansion plans shows that approximately 80 percent of the utility's installed capacity would be dependent upon a gas fuel supply in 1985. Since a considerable percentage of this " gas-fired" capacity is also capable of burning some form of oil as an alternate fuel, it would be reasonable to expect an Ancrease in the amount of oil used on the HLP system after 1984, even with the installation of Allens Creek #1 by 1985.

A further delay in insta"lation --

to March 1987 -- would cause a cumulative increase of L'9.5 million barrels in HLP oil consumption for the 1985-1987 period.

Cancellation of the Allens Creek project would produce a cumulative increase in oil consumption of almost 40 million barrels from 1985 through 1987, on the HLP system, with a continuing impact of approximately 10 million barrels per year.

In toto, the installation of Allens Creek #1 would significantly affect the amount of oil consumed by the HLP system in the mid-eighties.

In addition to the favorable effects of Allens Creek #1 installation upon system reliability and oil consumption, already discussed, the addition of this unit would produce a significant reduction in HLP fuel costs. The utility has projected a price of

$0.45 per million BTU for the Allens Creek nuclear fuel, which is

5 i

expected to be the lowest cost fuel option on the HLP system by I

the mid-eigh, ties.

TABLE 3 Houston Lighting and Power Company Projected System Production Costs 1985-1987 1985 1986 1987 Total Case (Millions of Constant 1978 Dollars)

A - Allens Creek #1 on line 3/85 1,358 1,396 1,466 4,220 B - Allens Creek #1 on line 3/86 1,482 1,418 1,468 4,368 C - Allens Creek #1 on line 3/87 1,482 1,535 1,492 4,509 D - Allens Creek #1 cancelled 1,482 1,535 1,602 4,619 As Table 3 indicates, the absence of Allens Creek #1 from the HLP system (because of either construction delay or cancellation) would increase system production expenses by approximately $130 million per year. This increase in fuel costs would be due entirely to a substitution of the next higher-priced fuels on the system (i.e. oil or gas-fired generation) to fill the Allens Creek

  1. 1 gap.

Summary

1. Because of the cancellation, last spring, by HLP for 694 MW of lignite capacity which had been due on line in 1983 and 1984, it is imperative that substitute generation capability for the increment of capacity represcnted by Allens Creek #1 be installed by March 1985, in order that the possibility of widespread power

~

shortages in the Houston area in the post-1985 period may be avoided. Without the 1150 MW of Allens Creek #1 on line, it is

6 s

unlikely that HLP would be capable of supplying all of its i

projected, peak demand for energy during the period from 1985 through 1987.

2. Additionally, the installation of Allens Creek #1 could reduce HLP oil consumption by approximately 10 million barrels per year. It would also serve to augment the supply l of energy on the HLP system in the light of a steadily decreas-ing availability of contract gas.
3. Finally, the net effect of the introduction of Allens Creek #1 in 1985 should be a significant reduction in fuel charges paid by HLP customers.

Conclusion The installation of Allens Creek #1 by 1985 is required for HLP maintenance of reliable electric service to customers, and to reduce the dependence of the HLP generating system on oil and natural gas.
