PJM EIS Generation Attribute Tracking System (GATS)

Presented to NASEO 2015 Mid-Atlantic Regional Meeting

June 22, 2015


Who is PJM EIS?

2

• PJM Environmental Information Services, Inc. – Formed in February 2005

– Capitalized independently of PJM Interconnection, L.L.C.

– PJM members have no cost responsibility or liability

• Generation Attribute Tracking System (GATS) – GATS is owned and administered by PJM EIS

– Tracks environmental attributes of generation

– Supports reporting and verification requirements related to environmental compliance (e.g., state Renewable Portfolio Standards, and fuel mix and emission disclosure) and related markets

– Costs borne solely by GATS users


PJM EIS Services

• As the GATS Administrator, PJM EIS provides the following services:

– Performs all system maintenance and development.

– Supports the Customer Hotline

– Develops and delivers customer training as needed (in-person, via the internet, and recorded)

– Schedules periodic meetings of the GATS Subscriber Group and State Agency Advisory Committee.

☼ Minimum solar requirement

** Includes non-renewable “alternative” energy resources

☼ NC: 12.5% by 2021 (IOUs) MI : 10% + 1,100 MW by 2015

GATS certificates required for RPS compliance:

GATS certificates accepted for RPS compliance:

GATS certificates must be imported into the state’s tracking system for RPS compliance:

PJM-EIS continues to work with state agencies as programs evolve and additional states implement RPS programs.

☼ IL: 25% by 2025 IN: 10%** by 2025 (voluntary goal)

GATS Status (as of 6/2015)

7

• 10,800+ GATS subscribers

• 63,500+ renewable generators registered in 22 States & DC

– 61,800+ solar PV facilities in 17 states & DC

– Solar PV total nameplate capability: 2,331.7 MW

• States with over >1000 registered renewable generators:

NJ 33,975

MD 14,169

PA 7,715

DE 1,957

OH 1,666

DC 1,501

VA 1,198

• All MWhs of PJM generation are tracked.

• A certificate market separate from energy is enabled for renewable generation. – Certificates (i.e., credits) traded separate from energy

– Certificates can have different value depending on their attributes (e.g., fuel type, location, date of generation, etc).

• It is a single information system that will support a range of reporting, verification, and compliance requirements (e.g., disclosure, RPS, voluntary retail markets, etc).

• It is a regional system that will enable PJM states and market participants to support varying needs and priorities.

• A system that is flexible enough to meet evolving state requirements.

GATS Design Overview


9

• GATS Operating Rules were established by a stakeholder group that included representatives form various state agencies, market participants, environmental advocates, and PJM staff

• Each state determines what can resources are eligible to be used for compliance with its RPS

• States also determine the acceptable means for reporting generation. GATS supports: – Reporting by Balancing Authority (e.g., PJM or MISO)

– Third Party Reporting (e.g., solar monitoring or Electric Distribution Company)

– Self-Reporting

– Production Estimates (for small solar PV or solar hot water)

GATS Design Overview


10

• GATS supports the creation of Energy Efficiency Credits (over 94,000 created to date)

• GATS Operating Rules can be amended to incorporate additional rules governing the creation of energy efficiency credits

• Operating Rules would reflect Evaluation, Measurement, and Verification (EM&V) guidance developed by U.S. EPA and the States.

• As an all-generation tracking system, GATS is uniquely positioned to translate energy savings into avoided emissions

• Leveraging the existing regional registry is the most efficient and cost-effective solution

In-State versus Out-of State Sourcing

Slide credited to Lori Bird (NREL), SREC Markets: Status and Trends, 1/18/2012

Maryland: 68% in-state

•DC: •13% in-state

•Pennsylvania: •32% in-state

•Ohio: •35% in-state

Mostly in-state Mostly out-of-state

Several States Are Sourcing SRECs Primarily from In-State Systems, While

Others Are Sourcing More Broadly
