Figure 61 an increase in the reliability resource allocation needed due to increases in load and RPS, increased share of renewables in the portfolio, and a reduced share of gas in the portfolio, due to more stringent water constraints. The effective ELCC of the portfolio has decreased with changes in the portfolio mix requiring a greater allocation of additional resources for reliability. ELCC was the dominate driver in the reliability goals allocation. Figure 61: EWCC Portfolio Allocation by Goal Comparison Energy-Water-Climate Change (PC 6) Reference Case (PC01) Figure 62 further illustrates a greater allocation of distributed resources and PV, to a lesser extent, in response to increased load and RPS parameter adjustments and decreased costs for these resource types. The allocation of wind remains relatively unchanged. A slight reduction gas allocation is also observed. Figure 62: EWCC Portfolio Mix by State Comparison Energy-Water-Climate Change (PC 6) Reference Case (PC01) Figure 63 shows that the overall new/retained/displaced resource mix hasn’t changed much relative to the Y20-RC other than a noticeable increase in distributed (rooftop solar PV).
