MICHIGAN VS. CALIFORNIA
MICHIGAN
• | | MI is phasing in a carefully restructured market |
|
• | | MI’s demand has grown at an annual rate of 2-3%, enabling utilities to keep pace |
|
• | | Since January 1999, MI has added 2,166 MW of new capacity, with at least 16 new projects announced or under construction |
|
• | | MI utilities have retained their generation capability and produce the electricity they sell |
|
• | | MI generation is fueled primarily by coal. Coal prices tend to be more stable than natural gas |
|
• | | MI utilties produce about 80% of the electricity they sell — the other 20% can be purchased through long-term contracts |
CALIFORNIA
• | | CA unbundled and deregulated its electricity marketplace suddenly |
|
• | | CA's info-tech industries have increased demand at an annual rate of 8% |
|
• | | No significant generation added in last 10 years |
|
• | | CA utilities have sold most of their power plants & buy electricity on open market |
|
• | | More than 50% of CA’s generation is fueled by natural gas, with 4x price increases |
|
• | | CA utilities buy their electricity for resale through a state-managed Power Exchange on a volatile day-ahead basis |
11
DETROIT EDISON VS. CALIFORNIA UTILITIES
DETROIT EDISON
• | | Owns 11,000 MW generating fleet; covering over 85% of 2001 service territory peak demand |
|
• | | Has already secured most of its summer power needs through firm contracts |
|
• | | Most energy requirements supplied at a cost below the cap |
PACIFIC G&E/SOCALED
• | | Divested majority of generation to independent suppliers |
|
• | | Forced to purchase majority of power at spot market prices |
|
• | | Significant mismatch between collected rates and energy costs |
