What they said about Nicholas Benton’s Extraordinary Hearts, upon which this volume is based:

"A vital, moral book about who we are and who we should be. I admire it and its author enormously." Larry Kramer

"Over the decades, Nick Benton has been a pioneer, daring to express points of view few would risk, the consequences too grave. Fundamental at the beginning of our LGBT movement, as now, is the affirmation of our core values, defined by Benton as the desire for love, truth, commitment and compassion.” Steven F. Dansky

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF A FILING BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR COST ALLOCATION METHODOLOGIES FOR RPS PROGRAM RELATED COSTS AND BENEFITS AND FOR PROXY VALUE CALCULATION METHODOLOGIES CASE NO. PUR-2021-00156

During its 2020 Session, the Virginia General Assembly enacted Chapters 1193 (HB 1526) and 1194 (SB 851) of the 2020 Virginia Acts of Assembly. These duplicate Acts of Assembly, known as the Virginia Clean Economy Act (“VCEA”), became effective on July 1, 2020. The VCEA establishes a mandatory renewable energy portfolio standard (“RPS”) program (“RPS Program”) for Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) in Code § 56 585.5. To comply with the RPS Program, Dominion must procure and retire renewable energy certificates (“RECs”) originating from qualifying sources. Subdivision D 4 of Code § 56-585.5 also requires Dominion to submit annually to the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) a plan and petition for approval for the development of new solar and onshore wind generation capacity (“RPS Plan”). In Case PUR 2020 00134, Dominion submitted its first RPS Plan to the Commission (“2020 RPS Plan”). On April 30, 2021, the Commission issued its Final Order in the 2020 RPS Plan (“2020 RPS Final Order”). As part of its 2020 RPS Final Order, the Commission adopted a general rate adjustment clause framework for the recovery of RPS related costs, as proposed by Commission Staff (“Staff”) and refined by Dominion, under which the Company will recover costs of resources approved under the VCEA. The Commission also directed that jurisdictional and class allocation methodologies be addressed in either Dominion’s next annual RPS proceeding or in a separate proceeding initiated by the Commission. As was further discussed in the 2020 RPS Plan case, approval of Staff’s proposed cost recovery framework would necessitate the development of a proxy value for the avoided capacity costs that would be realized if Dominion does not bid a particular Company owned RPS Program resource into the PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (“PJM”), capacity market, but instead uses the resource to reduce its future capacity obligations. The Commission did not adopt a proxy value for these avoided capacity costs in its 2020 RPS Final Order. On November 9, 2020, Dominion filed with the Commission a petition for approval of a rate adjustment clause, designated Rider RPS, pursuant to Code § 56-585.1 A 5 d (“Rider RPS Petition”). Through its Rider RPS Petition, Dominion sought to recover costs related to compliance with the mandatory RPS Program established in the VCEA. On July 1, 2021, the Commission issued its Final Order in that proceeding (“Rider RPS Final Order”). As noted in the Rider RPS Final Order, approval of Staff’s proposed rate design framework in the 2020 RPS Plan proceeding requires a proxy value for RECs to be transferred from renewable energy projects to Rider RPS. The Hearing Examiner found, and we agreed, that the determination of the appropriate REC proxy value should be decided in a future proceeding to allow for a more robust record to be developed. On August 11, 2021, the Commission issued an Order Establishing Proceeding (“Order”) in the current case, which opened a docket to consider issues related to cost allocation of Dominion’s resources approved under the VCEA and the appropriate proxy values for avoided capacity costs and RECs. In its Order, the Commission directed Dominion to make a filing (“Filing”) that addressed these issues, presented alternative cost allocation methodologies for the Commission’s consideration, and provided responses to certain questions set forth in the Order. On December 22, 2021, Dominion submitted its Filing with the Commission. As part of its Filing, the Company presents five alternative cost allocation methodologies for the Commission’s consideration: (i) Using an allocation factor based on the average and excess methodology (“Factor 1”) to allocate demand-related costs and benefits (capacity) and using an energy-only allocation factor (“Factor 3”) to allocate energy-related costs and benefits (energy, RECs), consistent with the classification of such costs and benefits in the Company’s cost of service (“Cost of Service Classification”); (ii) Using Factor 1 to allocate all costs and benefits (capacity, energy, RECs); (iii) Using Factor 3 to allocate all costs and benefits (capacity, energy, RECs); (iv) Using a modified Factor 1 based on the load during the PJM five coincident peak hours, instead of the single coincident peak, to allocate all costs and benefits; and (v) Using the summer winter peak and average method to allocate all costs and benefits. Dominion recommends approval of the Cost of Service Classification methodology for the allocation of system costs to the jurisdictional level and for the allocation of jurisdictional costs to the class level. Moreover, the Company proposes to use the Cost of Service Classification methodology for all VCEA resources, regardless of the type of resource or whether the resource is Company owned or contracted for under a power purchase agreement. In its Filing, Dominion also provided its proposed methodology for calculating the proxy value of avoided capacity costs associated with resources that are not bid into the PJM capacity market. Dominion proposes to use the clearing price from the base residual auction for the appropriate delivery year multiplied by the capacity amount produced by the generating unit to calculate the proxy value for the avoided capacity costs associated with that specific unit. The Company states the capacity amount produced by the generating unit would be measured by the effective load carrying capability class rating values and any other PJM adjustments. The Company proposes that the specific generating unit would only be credited with the avoided capacity cost proxy value if the unit was known prior to the time the Company’s fixed resource requirement plan is due for that delivery year. The Company also included in its Filing its proposed methodology for calculating proxy values for RECs to be transferred from renewable energy projects to Rider RPS. The Company seeks to establish REC proxy values by looking at the REC prices quoted on broker sheets over a prior twelve-month period. Specifically, the Company recommends using the average weekly prices for the current reporting year and the two subsequent reporting years, to the extent available, from the REC prices quoted in the broker sheets. The Company asserts the weekly prices used should be from the highest value REC market for which a Virginia RPS-eligible resource would qualify. Dominion proposes to use Pennsylvania Tier 1 REC market prices as the highest value REC market in the near term for which a Virginia RPS-eligible solar or wind resource would qualify. The Company proposes to use Maryland Tier II REC market prices as the highest value REC market in the near term for which Virginia RPS-eligible large hydroelectric resources would qualify. Interested persons are encouraged to review Dominion’s Filing and supporting documents in full for details about these and other proposals. The Commission has taken judicial notice of the ongoing public health issues related to the spread of the coronavirus, or COVID-19. In accordance therewith, all pleadings, briefs or other documents required to be served in this matter shall be submitted electronically to the extent authorized by 5 VAC 5-20-150, Copies and format, of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (“Rules of Practice”).
