The Alamitos and Huntington Beach units are needed to meet an identified LA Basin local reliability need for 2018 and a forecasted local reliability need for 2019 and 2020. Excess local capacity procured through these contracts will help to meet a forecasted system need. Once Through Cooling Decision (D.) 12-04-046 directed that an Investor-owned Utility (IOU) entering into Once Through Cooling (OTC) power purchase agreement with contract duration of more than two years but less than five years must submit a Tier-3 advice letter to the Commission for approval. Additionally, the decision provided an IOU entering into a power purchase agreement with OTC units that terminate one year or less prior to the applicable SWRCB compliance deadline, must file a Tier 3 advice that shows “how the agreement helps facilitate compliance with the State Water Resources Control Board policy regarding oncethrough cooling.” Finally, the decision specified the following criteria to be included in the Tier 3 Advise letter: 1) how the contract helps facilitate compliance with the SWRCB OTC policy, or at a minimum why it does not delay compliance; 2) the expected operation of the OTC facility under normal load (1 in 2) and high load (1 in 10) conditions, including the number of starts and run time after each start;
