“EIM is one of PGE’s most important initiatives in 2017”— Jim Piro President & CEO 2
Who is PGE? 3
Serving Oregon since 1889 Serving 1.8 million Oregonians 45 % of Oregon’s population 51 cities served Diversified power system: • 16 power plants • 3,843 megawatts (MW) of generation • Summer peak load of 3,950 MW (2009) • Winter peak load of 4,073 MW (1998) Portland General Electric 4 4
A balancing act • Roughly 15% of PGE’s MW generation 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 comes from renewables like wind and solar • By 2040, 50% of Balancing PGE’s Resources generation must Output come from renewables • Moving to EIM helps PGE to “self - integrate” Biglow Canyon Wind Farm its wind. Output • More efficient plant dispatch should lead to $2 – 4 million per year in savings.

Challenges PGE used multiple software platforms from different vendors; multiple vendors means integrating and conforming various software interfaces Tailoring change management and training that is appropriate for more than 350 people companywide Key Accomplishments Founded the EIM Implementation and Policy Forum Deployed CAISO computer-based trainings (CBTs) for 350 impacted PGE employees. Formed cross-functional working group to address: • CAISO EIM Market Simulation Scenarios and Settlements • Methodology for dispatching generation units in CAISO EIM 10
PGE next steps: Complete all required market simulations required for go-live File for Market Based Rate Authorization with FERC Complete analysis of impacts on BPA flowgates and establish associated Variable Transfer Limits Certify completion of 33 Readiness Criteria and file with FERC PGE will continue to explore ways for smaller BAAs to participate in the Western EIM 11
