NEW NERC POLICY

The North American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC) has been working to
identify candidates that should be registered
for compliance with electric reliability
standards. The key to whether an entity
should register is whether it is material to
the reliability of the bulk power system."
The second round of nonbinding registration
closed December 15, but there will be
continuing efforts to determine which entities
should be registered. IAMU expects that in
early March final draft lists of entities will be
submitted by each region to NERC, in order for
NERC to have a final list of responsible entities
in May of 2007.

only two other

underground energy facilities in the world
using air pressure as the storage medium,
making Iowa and IAMU a leader in the
field. This will not only capture the
attention of the utility world, but the
attention of the world in general, said
Michael McGill of Electricity and Air
Storage Enterprises, LLC, a consultant for
the ISEP project.
Dr. Imre Gyuk, renowned energy
researcher and scientist, was among
officials and supporters of the project at
IAMUs Training & Office Complex for the
December 12 meeting of ISEPA. Dr. Gyuk
noted the exhaustive work of ISEPA and
others in finding a suitable reservoir for
the project, and called the news a
milestone for Iowa,

common-sense
approach to registration.

Anne Kimber at IAMU, 800/ 810-4268.

Here are the current

guidelines for entity
registration. We do
expect revisions of
these guidelines,
specifically for Joint
Action Agencies, in the
next few weeks. For
more information, go to

Registration Guidelines:
I. Entities meeting one or more of the following
criteria are (i) owners, operators, and users of
the bulk power system and (ii) candidates for
registration: I(a) All entities meeting the criteria
established by NERCs approved definition of
bulk electric system:
As defined by the Regional Reliability
Organization, the electrical generation
resources, transmission lines, interconnections
with neighboring systems, and associated
equipment, generally operated at voltages of
100 kV or higher. Radial transmission facilities
serving only load with one transmission source
are generally not included in this definition.

I(b) All entities owning, operating, or using

transmission elements of 100 kV and above;
I(c) all entities owning, operating, or using any
<100 kV transmission elements that could
limit or supplement

Two more IAMU member cities have
come forward with financial support for
IAMUs planned Safe City project.
Montezuma Natural Gas and Montezuma
Light & Power have each donated $1,500,
for a total of $3,000 toward the
development of Safe City. Eldon Snook,
Montezuma Gas Superintendent,
presented the checks to IAMU Executive

Dave Hraha. We think its the thing to do.
Safety is a big concern in our business,

In September, the City of Everly became

the first to donate to Safe City, presenting
a check for $1,000. IAMU extends its
gratitude to all of the donators for their
generosity and foresight in supporting
IAMUs mission to offer the best in training
opportunities for the utility industry.
Safe City is envisioned as a cluster of
small buildings on IAMUs Safety &
Training Field. They will house various
infrastructure which will provide realistic
hands-on training in a variety of realworld situations, including emergency

OSHA RELEASES UPDATED

"TOP TEN" VIOLATIONS
LIST

its list of the most-violated safety and health

standards from October 2005 September
2006. The list contains many of the usual
suspects, but the order of their occurrence
has changed slightly.
Once again, OSHAs Scaffolding Standard was
the most frequently violated overall. Among
rules covering General Industry, the Hazard
Communication Standard (HCS) remains the
most-violated standard, but slipped from
second last year to third this year on the
overall list behind the Fall Protection
Standard.

The list and the number

of violations are
accurate as of October
13, 2006. At the time of
this writing, the agency
was still finalizing
citation totals for the
year. OSHAs top 10

approaching. If you plan on

renewing your license for the 2007
2009 certification period, you
must earn all required CEUs by
March 31, 2007. Licenses that are
not renewed by a certified operator
or do not meet the renewal criteria
will expire June 30, 2007.
In order to renew a Grade A, I, or II
license, certified operators must
have earned 1 CEU or 10 contact
hours between April 1, 2005 and
March 31, 2007. Certified Grade III
or IV water operators need to earn 2
CEUs or 20 contact hours between
April 1, 2005 and March 31, 2007 to
renew their license.
CEUs may be earned by attending
Iowa Department of Natural
Resources (IDNR) approved courses
that contain subject material
specifically pertaining to an
operators certification. IAMU offers
a variety of IDNR approved courses
every year for water operators to
attend. Upcoming courses provided
by IAMU can be found on the IAMU
website at www.iamu.org (click on
Member Services and Water).
IAMU processes all of the CEUs
earned at our courses through
Kirkwood Community College.
Kirkwood then reports CEU totals to
the IDNR. If you have any questions
regarding your CEUs, please contact
Laurie Sharp with IDNR at 515-7250284.

II.e.1 The above are general criteria only. The
regional entity or CBRE considering registration
of an organization not meeting (e.g., smaller in
size than) the criteria may propose registration
of that organization if the regional entity or
CBRE believes and can reasonably demonstrate
that the organization is a bulk power system
owner, or operates, or uses bulk power system
assets, and is material to the reliability of the
bulk power system. Similarly, the regional
entity or CBRE considering not registering an
organization that meets the criteria may
propose that the organization not be registered
if the regional entity or CBRE believes and can
reasonably demonstrate that the bulk power
system owner, operator, or user does not have
a material impact on the reliability of the bulk
power system.

"CHANGE A LIGHT, CHANGE

THE WORLD" DRAWS
UTILITIES
while the customers are at the store.
Customers do not have to file any
additional paperwork or rebate applications.
Although this years program is ending,

planning is beginning for next year. For

those who are interested in finding out
more information, please note that
municipal utilities and rural electric
cooperatives will have initial planning
meetings with Change A Light officials in
the near future. Those officials administer
the program, recruit participating
retailers, and develop general marketing

materials. IAMU does

not administer the
program and does not
receive compensation
for coordinating
meetings for interested member
utilities. Unlike last
year, planning is

taking place significantly earlier; municipal

utilities should have more time to find out
about the program and decide if they want
to join. It is anticipated that the planning
process this year will be the type of process
and timetable used to offer the program to
municipal utilities in future years. Please
take this into account when budgeting for
this program in 2007 and beyond.

No information from Change A Light was

available at the time

of this writing, but

IAMU will send out an informational email

when news is released.

which funds work on a variety of technologies,
including advanced batteries, flywheels,
super-capacitors and compressed air energy
storage. Funding for ISEP has been managed
by Sandia National Laboratories, which holds
energy and infrastructure assurance as one of
its cornerstones.
ISEPA is closely analyzing a location just west
of Dallas Center in central Iowa. The site lies
within 30 miles of downtown Des Moines, and
is the third location ISEPA researched after
initially screening more than 20 geological
structures in Iowa. ISEP will employ CAES,

The ISEP storage structure would

function much like an
underground inverted bowl with
the rim in water and acting as a
seal, with the reservoir under an
oval land parcel measuring
approximately 8,000 feet x 6,000

which utilizes air stored

underground at naturally
occurring pressures.
Stored air is released
when needed to help
generate energy for
cities and utilities which
have purchased rights to
utilize it. Used as a
supplement to existing
energy sources, it is
predicted that it will
save clients millions of
dollars each year by
providing a consistently
reliable energy source,
much of it renewable,
that would be available
during periods of high
demand.
Its a good location,
said McGill. The
reservoir is deep enough
and wide enough, with
good geology. The
condition of the
reservoir rock was
crucial to the
development, as ISEP
will differ from the
reservoir geology
caverns in underground
salt used by the other
two operating CAES
facilities in Alabama and
Germany. Storage in salt
and utilization of preexisting underground
mines developed during
minerals production are
typical avenues pursued
for CAES storage
facilities. But ISEP will be
the first facility of its
kind to use a porous
sandstone layer far
under the earths
surface to hold the

feet; the
reservoir will be
about 2,800 feet
deep at the crest
and 2,900 feet
deep at the
edges.
ISEP will

compressed air. The air will be pumped into the

sandstone, will displace water that exists there
in a limited and carefully controlled area, and
will form a bubble, which will remain in place
as an underground reservoir of stored energy.
It will be tapped by wells, which will allow air
out when needed to provide electricity.
ISEP will combine the underground storage of
air with energy derived from wind power in
Iowa, making the project doubly attractive as
Iowa strives to further the advancement of
wind energy. Some of the energy collected by
wind turbines will drive compressors to push
the air underground. ISEP will provide 268
megawatts of CAES generating power and
plans to use approximately 75 megawatts of
wind power. ISEP offers the best means to
assure full utilization of wind energy, whether
that power is created by ISEP or purchased,
said McGill. He stated that it will ensure that
wind energy will be available to ISEP customers
when most needed (instead of relying on the
uncertain availability of wind), and will help
cities and utilities avoid much of the carbon
tax which is likely to be imposed on fossil fuel
burning facilities in the future.
Cities and utilities participating in ISEP will
utilize a mix of energy sources, of which energy
from ISEP will be one component. It is
anticipated that most ISEP customers will
continue to use technology such as coal-fired
steam generating power plants to serve their
baseload needs, but will use energy from
ISEP as a mid-range (or intermediate) power
source, as studies have shown that is the area
with the most urgent need for utilities. Access
to CAES generating capacity would offer the
utilities a very flexible tool to help them
manage their energy costs and maximize the
value and usefulness of their renewable energy
assets. McGill estimated that CAES plus wind
energy from ISEP could account for 20 percent
of the energy used in a year at a typical Iowa
municipal utility, and could save the cities and
their utilities as much as $5 million per year in
purchased energy. The cost of energy from
ISEP CAES facilities has been estimated at $65
per megawatt-hour.

complete a number of additional

steps prior to the official startup of
the facility. John Bilsten, Vice
President of ISEPA and General
Manager of Algona Municipal
Utilities, which will be part of the
ISEP network, detailed the timeline
for the project:

A supplemental seismic survey will

be undertaken in January 2007.
Initial ownership/investor arrangements are scheduled to be finalized
in July 2007. Drilling of an
investigation well and a water
pump test are planned for
completion by January of 2008, and
preliminary design work is to be
finished in May 2008. Permitting
with the Iowa Utilities Board is
targeted for completion in
September 2008. Detailed design
work would be completed by April
of 2009, with financing completed
in May 2009. Construction is to be
completed by May 2011, with
commercial operation to begin
