Kent Mathis – JEA
Craig Williamson – Energy Insights
JEA (formerly Jacksonville Electric Authority)Originally a municipal electric authority In 1997 JEA took over water and sewage for the city Now we’re just “JEA”. We have about 2300 permanent employees.
Customer base:405,000 electric300,000 water223,000 sewer
Service Territory900 square milesSeveral counties in NE Florida
JEA’s Electric System
JEA owns and operates three generating plants and all transmission and distribution facilities. A fourth power plant, the St. Johns River Power Park (SJRPP), is owned jointly by JEA and the Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) and operated by JEA. JEA and FPL are also joint owners of Unit 4 at Georgia Power Company's coal-fired Robert W. Scherer Plant (Plant Scherer), which is located in Macon, Georgia. JEA produces 3.2 MW from a methane-fueled generating facility at the Girvin Road Landfill. JEA's net generating capability is 2,361 MW, gross capacity is just under 3,000 MW

Initial Sample Design SummaryExamined Sample Design Population
124 Report & CAIR Rate Name ReportStudied 5 rate classes (Res, GS, GSD, GSLD, Int/Cur)Designed samples for Res, GS, and split the population for GSD into two subgroups
Consumption DataCleaned and organized data (frequency distributions in 50 kWh buckets)
Developed 2-D Stratification (reduce variability)Delanius Hodges – Produced BreakpointsFor Res and GS, we used a 3x2 design of 6 strata, with 3 winter strata (low, medium, high), and two summer strata (low, high), plus one extreme stratum (very high summer or very high winter or both), producing 7 ‘buckets’For each subgroup in GSD, we used a 2x2 design, with 2 winter strata (low, high), and two summer strata (low, high), plus one extreme stratum (very high summer or very high winter or both), producing 5 ‘buckets’

Sample design moving forwardWe will use the variances and means from the data for August 4th to calculate required sample sizes and allocate sample points for the summer peakWe will use the means and variances for the MV-90 data to calculate the required sample sizes and allocate sample points for the winter peak for GS and GSD, and use judgment for Residential winter peak accuracyWe will carefully consider the implications of the expected percent of meters that can’t deliver interval dataCurrent sample will be randomly reduced or increased where necessaryWe will include interval data from MV-90 customers that are chosen in the sample
Lessons LearnedExpectation
Toolset will be completed within 2 to 3 months
Reality
Time to build toolset is longer than promised
Lessons LearnedExpectation
It’s easy to keep things straight…
Reality
•No connectivity without toolset
•Each system uses different keys•GIS – Transformer ID•MV90 – Recorder ID•CAIR – Account ID•MSPR – SPIDs
•Difficult to do what should be an easy task
Lessons Learned (cont)Expectation
Over 99% of our NMR meters are enabled
Reality
•Over 99% of NMR meters are deployed•Only about 90% of NMR meters are active•Of the 90%, even a lower % have acceptable Packet Success Ratios (PSRs)•None of the above issues are evenly distributed among rate classes
Lessons Learned (cont)Expectation
Defining the population will be easy
Reality
•Defining the population is hard•No accurate list of customers and their rates exist
“Ahas”Originally afraid JEA faced a long, slow, expensive learning curve - Purchasing Energy Use Strategic Service continues to be high value for cost; purchase did not require formal bidding processHaving an NMR system is enabling our LR group to expand beyond traditional LR applications and uses
