- Determine if Hawaiian Electric’s recommendations on the agenda topics reasonable, and if not, seek recommendations from stakeholders to incorporate into the IGP process.
Key Questions
- Is the purpose and scope of analysis for each modeling tool clear?
- Does the methodology to determine sampled Day Weights, Daily Loads, and Sample Days meet the Parties’ needs?
- Is the Company’s proposed process for reliability analysis appropriate?
- Are the hourly dependable capacities for each technology reasonable?
- Do the bookend sensitivities adequately consider an appropriate range of scenarios, including a "worst case scenario"?
- Does the updated modeling of DERs appropriately captures pricing, potential, and uptake?
Agenda
