10 INTRODUCTION The Strategic Projects Division as part of National Electric Energy Commission presents it s Medium-term prospects ( ) for electricity supply of the National Electric System, which considered the generating plants in commercial operation until date, also including new generating projects that are close to startup, including the interconnection with Mexico (which increases its existing capacity of 120MW to 200MW); hydroelectric power stations: Xacbal, San Cristobal, Santa Teresa, El Manantial, El Cóbano and Palo Viejo; and geothermal power stations: Jaguar, Esi and Duke. In this technical study is evaluated the energy dispatch, the available power of generating plants, the demand marginal cost and the energy matrix for a period of five years taking into consideration the electricity demand, hydrology and trend of fuel costs. For this purpose were performed two demand scenarios and two fuel trend scenarios. The activities developed in the study s preparation included the following activities: a) Prepare the demand growth projection for the period in two representative scenarios. b) Identification of two scenarios for fuel prices according to the projections made by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, EIA. c) Prepare the list of generating projects under construction which have a certainty of the start-up date.

11 d) Determination of the simulation premises for different scenarios of fuel prices and demand growth. e) Simulation of the energy dispatch of the generating plants considered in the study, starting operation in the specified time. GOALS 1. Determine the prospects for electricity supply of National Electric System identifying the likely scenarios for his behavior in the medium term ( ). 2. Estimate the demand marginal cost to short-term (Spot price) in the National Power Grid considering the start-up of new generating plants in addition to existing generation facilities. 3. Determine that the start-up of new generating plants to the National Power Grid will increase the reliability and will improve the quality of the electricity supply. 4. Set up technology of generating that eliminates the volatility of demand marginal cost, in the period of transition from dry season to wet season, and reduce the demand marginal cost after 2015.

12 5. Provide a technical-economic guide to the investor, national and foreign, to report about the growth prospects of the electric sub-sector to facilitate their decisions. 6. Estimate the Factors of nodal losses in the National Power Grid, considering the building facilities in the Expansion Plan of the Transmission System CAPÍTULO 1 NATIONAL ELECTRIC SUBSECTOR NATIONAL ELECTRIC MARKET The regulatory structure in which is supports the Guatemalan electric sub-sector is based on a competitive market allowing the access to the National Power Grid to any individual or legal person who wants it, fulfilling the legal requirements established by the General Law of Electricity and its Regulations, thereby setting a balanced system of supply and demand prices, creating the conditions for competition. Prices are set by the regulator when there is existence of natural monopolies. In the Guatemalan electric sub-sector are five participants: Generating,

13 Transmission and Distributing Companies; Power Marketers and Large power users; Article 6 of the General Law of Electricity provides definitions for each one of them being these: a) Generating Company: An individual or legal person who owns or is in possession of a power generating station and who sells commercially all or part of its output. b) Transmission Company: An individual or legal person owning a facility for electricity transmission and transformation. c) Distributing Company: An individual or legal person who owns or is in possession of facilities intended for the commercial distribution of electricity. d) Power Marketer: An individual or legal person whose activities are related to the purchase and sale of blocks of power, without itself being engaged in power generation, transmission, distribution, or consumption. e) Large power user: A customer whose power demand exceeds the ceiling specified for such purpose in regulations under this law (100kW maximum demand).

14 The generation activity takes place in a free and competitive context, composed for an opportunity market or short-term market that is based on the energy dispatch at marginal cost and a term market or long-term market where the terms are freely agreed as regards the period, the price and the amount of power and energy to hire. The transmission and distribution activities are regulated by standards issued by the regulator system, in this case the National Electric Energy Commission. The Wholesale Market Administrator is a private nonprofit entity that coordinates transactions among the participants of the Wholesale Market, to ensure a free market competition, with clear rules and to encourage electric system investments, as well as watch over to keep quality of the electricity supply service in Guatemala. LEGAL STRUCTURE The legal structure which governs the electric sub-sector is based on the following: I. General Law of Electricity, Decree No II. Regulation of the General Law of Electricity, Government Agreement No and its reforms III. Wholesale Market Administrator, Government Agreement No and its reforms IV. Technical Standards issued by the National Electric Energy Commission V. Commercial and Operative Coordination Standards of the Wholesale Market Administrator The General Law of Electricity is the base for electricity issues and it is supported on the following principles:

15 I. The existence of an unrestricted market for electricity generation, with no requirement of prior State authorization or condition other than the ones provided in the Constitution and laws of Guatemala. However, the use of the State s property for these purposes will require proper authorization by the Ministry when the central s power exceeds 5MW. II. The existence of an unrestricted market for the transmission of electricity, as long as there is no public property to be used for it, and likewise, there exists a free market for private electricity distribution service. III. Authorization is required for power transmission where public property is required to be used, and for distribution of power to the final customer. IV. Electric service rates may be freely set, except for transmission and distribution service rates for which an authorization is required. Wholesale power transfers between generating companies, power marketers, importers and exporters shall be regulated as provided in this law. NATIONAL ELECTRIC MARKET STRUCTURE The Guatemalan electric sub-sector is structured on the following way:

16 Figure 1-1 Electric Sub-Sector Structure Ministry of Energy and Mines MEM : It is the body of the State responsible of the formulation and coordination of policies, State plans, indicative programs related to the electric sub-sector. In charge of reviewing that the authorization process of generating plants installation and that provision service of transportation and distribution, is according to law. Likewise, it is in charge of all juridical regime issues applicable to generation, transmission, distribution and commercialization of electricity, hydrocarbons and mining resources exploitation. National Electric Energy Commission CNEE : It is the regulator of the electric sub-sector responsible of reviewing the fulfillment of the General Law of Electricity and its Regulations with planning functions; bidding new generation and expanding the Transmission System to satisfy National Power Grid needs. It creates conditions according to the Law, for any individual or legal person that could develop the activities of generation, transmission, distribution or commercialization; strengthening those activities with the emission of technical standards and disciplinary actions, as well as defining the tariffs and calculation methodology. Generating Co. Transmission Co. Power Marketers Large Power Users Distributing Co. Wholesale Market Administrator AMM : Private entity responsible of dispatching and programming the operation and coordination of the National Power Grid, "SNI" (by its Spanish acronym), within the quality requirements of service and security, also the post-dispatch and the administration of commercial transactions of the Wholesale Market. Its aim is to guarantee the proper functioning of the SNI and the interconnections.

19 Source: AMM, Efficient Steady Supply CURRENT TRANSMISSION SYSTEM The transmission system in Guatemala has an infrastructure that allows the electricity supply from the principal generating plants to the consumption centers, as shown in the table below through a network of 1063 Km approximately, in voltages of 138 kv and 230 kv, and a transformation capacity of 1445 MVA in 230 kv and 319 MVA in 138 kv. For 69 kv of voltage are around of 2687 Km of transmission lines that allows to supply Distribution System s and Large power users, the transformation capacity amounts to 760 MVA. In Guatemala, there are four companies that provide electric power transportation service, being those with the highest number of km owned the Empresa de Transporte y Control de Energía Eléctrica of the Instituo Nacional de Electrificación ETCEE (by its Spanish acronym) and Transportista Eléctrica Centroamericana S.A. TRELEC (by its Spanish acronym). However, the

20 transmission system also includes transmission lines owned to Wholesale Market Agents, whose aim is the connection to the National Power Grid.

Figure 1-4 Ownership of the transmission lines of 230kV and 69kV, respectively

21 EXPANSION PLAN OF THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM The Expansion plan of the Transmission System PET (by its Spanish acronym) was based on satisfy the SNI needs regarding electricity transmission. We identified the critical points in the system and raised new projects of transmission lines, substations and their respective equipment. The works comprising the PET are arranged in five loops Metropacific, Hydraulic, Atlantic, Eastern and Western. These loops are comprised of six lots as shown in the table below: Table 1-5 Length (Km) of transmission lines of PET by lot v Length (Km) Lot 230kV A 91 B 211 C 102 D 186 E 115 F 140 Total 845 On January 20, 2010, the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) issued a resolution which approves and awards the electricity service provision through the adjudication of the value of the annual canon to the Consortium EEG-EDM Guatemala Project. Finally, on February 22, 2010, the authorization contract for the execution transmission works of the lots A, B, C, D, E and F is signed; with 845 Km of transmission lines approximately, awarded as a result of the International Open Tender process for the provision of electricity transmission service through the adjudication of the value of the annual canon to the company Transportadora de Energía de Centroamérica, Sociedad Anónima TRECSA (by its Spanish acronym) constituted in Guatemala by the Consortium EEG-EDM Guatemala Project.

22 Whit the PET culmination, 2013, the SNI will have an approximate of 1611 Km of 230kV transmission lines, of which 52.45% will belong to TRECSA. The following figure shows the ownership of the transmission lines of 230kV once concluded the PET. Figure 1-5 Ownership of the transmission lines of 230kV, 2013

35 CAPÍTULO 2 STUDY PREMISES To prepare this study, the National Commission of Electric Power took into consideration the following conditions: DEMAND The development of two scenarios for electricity demand growth is modeling by an econometric model which takes into account GDP and the number of electric power users as independent variables. Such model assumes a logistic relationship between energy demand and GDP, and a linear-exponential relationship between energy demand and the number of users. The following table shows the GDP data used to determinate de growth demand scenarios: Tabla 2-1 GDP growth rates (%) according to scenario demand Year Medium High

For cases 1 and 2 is considered medium demand and a combination of fuel price scenarios (reference and high), taking the 2003 as hydrology base year, as well the start-up of the plants listed in the table above. ii. For cases 3 and 4 is considered high demand and a combination of fuel price scenarios (reference and high), taking the 2003 as hydrology base year, as well the start-up of the plants listed in the table above. HYDROLOGY 3 The Guatemala Mexico interconnection capacity represents an increase from 120 MW available to 200 MW.

40 The information of flows for the study development were obtained from the data base that National Electric Power Commission used to carry out the Indicative Expansion Plan of the Generation System , and it was complemented with additional information provided by the National Institute of Electrification and the Wholesale Market Administrator. The hydroelectric power stations Xacbal and Palo Viejo were modeled as daily regulation centrals because it had technical data to model it this way and hydroelectric power stations San Cristobal, Santa Teresa, El Manantial and El Cobano were modeled as passing centrals. For the development of the different scenarios was considered the 2003 as a basis for hydrological simulation.

68 NODAL LOSSES In the Guatemalan Electricity Market, the procedure to model and determine the economic value of losses in the transmission system is through the establishment of a losses factor in every single node of the National Interconnected System, whereby the electric power is valued in each network connection respect to a reference node. The value of the energy transferred to one node will be the energy price in the market affected by the nodal losses factor. The nodal losses factor of energy according to Commercial Coordination Standard # 7, is set with a reference node (Guatemala-Sur-230kV) as the relationship between marginal cost of both nodes, when in that node the marginal cost incorporates transmissions marginal losses to the reference node. In this study we determined the approximate nodal losses factors for case 1, in which new generation plants are expected to be installed in the future or in the nodes that represent a very important role in the National Interconnected System. The calculation in this analysis considers the works of the Expansion Plan of the Transmission System in commercial operation, so these factors can t be considered definitive because the values in addition to the topology of the network depend on the seasonality, daily economic dispatch of load and demand in the SNI. The nodal losses factors of the existing load bars 69kV tend to get better this means a drastic reduction of network losses, resulting in a benefit for users of electrical service. The nodal losses factors of the nodes considered in of the Expansion Plan of the Transmission System tend to vary in values close to one, due to the seasonality between wet and dry seasons, which could result in a benefit for the centrals that will be connected in the future. The nodal losses factors of the existing load bars 230kV tend to get better this means a drastic reduction of network losses, resulting also in a benefit for users of electrical service.

73 CONCLUSIONS I. The growth rate of energy and power demand shows a direct relationship to the national Gross Domestic Product, from 2009 we can note a recovery, however natural phenomena may affect recovery. II. On average, there is an increase from 16% to 41%, from 2010 to 2015 in generation with base fuel. The start-up of Jaguar in May 2013 significantly reduced the generation with bunker, this decrease will depend on demand conditions, hydrology and fuel costs. III. To ensure safety and reliability of electricity supply is necessary that new generation plants considered in this study provide the energy needed to satisfy demand at minimum cost. IV. The demand marginal cost (SPOT price) tends to decrease from the start-up of hydroelectric power stations and base fuel plants, from 2015 is being necessary the start-up of new generation plants to stabilize in the long-term the trend of marginal cost. Due to this reduction in SPOT price is necessary that generation plants have contracts that guarantee their investment return. V. In order to eliminate volatility of SPOT price in the transition from dry to wet season and to assure greater stability of that price after 2015 is convenient encourage the start-up of distributed renewable generation and a geothermal plant. VI. In all cases we notice that renewable energy generation is over 50%.

74 Year Case 1 Case 2 Case 3 Case (%) (%) VII. Most of the nodal losses factors on the existing nodes of 69kV and 230kV tend to get better, resulting into a benefit for users of electrical service because a drastic reduction of network losses. The nodal losses factors of the nodes in the Expansion Plan of the Transmission System tend to values close to 1, this will benefit the plants that will be connected to these nodes in the future.
