Events that could have a significant impact on budget
Operational Scenario Descriptions6 Scenarios – provide metrics impact for movement in volatile parts of Grant PUD operations
• Scenarios that provide insight on Grant PUD's exposure to wholesale prices, that is selling and buying from the market when Grant’s resources don't match load needs.• High wholesale prices (P85, prices only higher 15% of time)• Low wholesales prices (P15, prices only lower 15% of time)
• Scenarios that show how Grant PUD's financial metrics respond when load growth (electricity sales to retail customers) slows down from expected growth.• Low load growth at ½ growth rate of base forecast• Low load growth (½ Base) combined with low wholesale prices (P15)
• Scenario that provides the impact of changing water conditions on the Columbia River• Low water (P15, water flow at dams only lower 15% of the time)
• Looked at scenario where wholesale slice deals, beyond Morgan Stanley are also netted. The only impact was to improve Days Cash on Hand for 2021.
