<strong>PacifiCorp</strong> – <strong>2007</strong> IRPChapter 7 – Modeling and• Changes to the resource mix included elimination of all SCCT capacity, the addition of anIGCC unit, more wind, and a small increase in front office transactions<strong>Resource</strong> mix impact of increasing the CO 2 adderIncreasing the CO 2 adder in a step-wise fashion for the base case portfolios had the followingimpacts:• From $8 to $15: The CEM removed the Utah SCPC resource (600 megawatts), and added aCCCT and 700 megawatts of additional wind; PVRR increased by $3.9 billion• From $15 to $20: The CEM removed a Wyoming SCPC (750 megawatts), and added 600megawatts of additional wind, 24 megawatts of Class 3 DSM, and additional front officetransactions (63 average annual megawatts); PVRR increased by another $3.8 billion• From $20 to $25: The CEM removed the small Utah SCPC and the west IGCC (500 megawatts),and added another east CCCT as well as an intercooled aero SCCT; in addition, themodel added 16 megawatts of Class 1 DSM, but decreased front office transactions by averageannual 29 megawatts; PVRR increased by another $3.7 billionLow and high wind capital costLowering the wind capital cost by 10% had the following effects relative to the base case portfolio:• The CEM added 800 megawatts of wind• The PVRR decreased by $800 million• Class 1 DSM is reduced by 50 megawatts• Front office transactions are reduced by an average annual 70 megawattsIncreasing the wind capital cost by 11% had the following effects relative to the base case portfolio:• The CEM removed 1,100 megawatts of wind capacity• An east IGCC resource was added (497 megawatts)• The PVRR increases by $231 million• Front office transactions increased by an average annual 21 megawatts• Class 1 DSM is reduced by 50 megawatts, apparently displaced by the other resource additionsLow and high commodity coal pricesLowering the coal price for new coal resources had the following effects relative to the base caseportfolio:• The PVRR decreases by $204 million• The CEM removed the west SCCT (332 megawatts) and 500 megawatts of wind (90 megawattscapacity contribution)• Front office transaction were increased by an average annual 44 megawatts, while DSM decreasesby 13 megawattsRaising the coal price for new coal resources has the following effects relative to the base caseportfolio:149
