<strong>Scenario</strong> LetterIn an effort to add more consistency to the assessment report, all Regions are asked to follow theoutline below in preparing their written assessment. Additionally, provide a one or twoparagraph executive summary of the impact on reliability of the <strong>Scenario</strong> Case in your Region.<strong>Scenario</strong> Letter: Attachment II<strong>2009</strong> <strong>Scenario</strong> AnalysisAll Regions must follow the outline below in preparing their written assessment.Attachment II to the <strong>2009</strong> <strong>Scenario</strong> Analysis letter included background material on the report.This material is presented in the About This Report section of this report.RegionExecutive SummaryProvide a one or two paragraph executive summary of the expected Regional performance forthe <strong>Scenario</strong> Case over the next ten years.IntroductionIntroduce the Region and high level results.a) Describe the Reference Case used contrast the <strong>Scenario</strong> Case to it.b) Provide a comprehensive overview of the study and describe reliability impacts of the<strong>Scenario</strong> Case for your Region/subregionc) Discuss significant assumptionsd) Review key issues and results compared to the Reference Case.1. Demand (Only Identify Changes Resulting from Integration of New Resources)a) If different from the Reference Case, compare weather and economicassumptions upon which the <strong>Scenario</strong> Case forecast is based. If different fromthe Reference Case, compare the forecasts and discuss the key factors leading toany changes. Discuss any changes in growth rate and load variability.b) If different from the Reference Case, compare the <strong>Scenario</strong> Case’s projecteddispatchable, controllable demand response reducing peak demand — i.e.interruptible demand; direct control load management; critical peak pricing withcontrol; load as a capacity resource, etc.2. Generationa) Identify and compare the amount of capacity resources in-service or expected tobe in-service during the study period (NOTE: Use consistent capacityclassifications when comparing the Reference Case).i. Discuss the assumptions pertaining to when the resources are added over theten-year time frame to support the <strong>Scenario</strong> Case. Identify the incrementalchanges to the Reference Case that are:(i) Variable (i.e. wind, solar, etc.) and their associated nameplate andcapacity on-peak amounts compared and associated annual capacityfactor.<strong>2009</strong> <strong>Scenario</strong> <strong>Reliability</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong> Page 185
