  1. Successful Grid-Facing Modernization10-20 Years from Now January 14th 2013

  2. Grid Modernization Drivers Start With the Customer and Work Backwards • Customer Satisfaction • Requirements increasing • Load is Fundamentally Changing • Wants new ways to do business • More comfort with data & technology • Innovation enabler • Reliability and Operation Efficiency • New Grid Applications and Comms • Technology and Costs Converging • Desire for minimum Costs and Losses • New Generation model • News ways to Plan and Operate • Faster, safe and secure renewable connections • Clean Energy • Societal awareness • Period of denial is over • Policymakers incentives and mandates • Energy industry position in society is changing • Renewable connections increasing exponentially Transformed Grid More Reliable More Resilient 2-Way Power Flow Enabler 2-way Comms Value Based Services Quality Product Customers Know It! Policies for Utilities to Build to the Future State in Everything they do!

  3. Grid Modernization:…a common language and vision are essential for alignment Grid Modernization includes the overlay of technology that provides advanced information, automation and control capabilities to help customers and utilities to distribute, measure and use energy more efficiently, enable Renewable's reliably, safely and sustainably – all the way from the point of generation to consumer appliances Modernization Targets What does it allow you to do? • Improve Reliability and system performance • Remotely detect, diagnose, predict and correct network problems & faults • Redeploying Capacity and Reduce Losses • Enable Distributed generation/resources • Automatic switches & controls • Sensors & measuring devices • Decision support tools & graphical interfaces • Enable 2-way Power Flow Grid • Enable Customer Choice • Remote Diagnostics and Configuration • Adapt with customer and technological changes • 2-way Communications • Hybrid model with private industry • Not one size fits all (Urban vs. Rural) Comm • Choice of tariffs e.g. time of use – peak shifting • Automatic meter reading • Enable customer choice and control • Catalyst and validation of Energy Efficiency programs • Meter that records interval data • Informative display • Meter Data Management System Meter • Customer choice to balance savings and comfort • Easy Interface including automation • Demand response programs • Improve satisfaction levels • Customer portal & Home Area Network • Automated thermostats, switches, plugs & appliances • Load controllers e.g. PHEV controller Home

  4. What will the Customer See… Now to 5 Years 5 to 10 Years 10-25 Years Transformed Grid True Two-way Power Flow Transaction-less Renewables Automated Home and Businesses Multiple Value Services Value Based Services Two-way Power Flow Opportunities Integrated Demand Response Smart Appliances and Standards New home area networks Secure Renewables Two-Way Comms OMS/DMS Real-time Optimization Integrated Voltage Control Anticipate outages, Continuous optimization, and pin point accuracy of system trouble and restoration Urban, Suburban Reliability Metrics Pockets of Performance Develop Value Services Grid Sensing Next Generation Automation Outage Management Two-way Comms Converging Cyber Security Web Services Applications and Data Energy Efficiency Faster Interconnects Safe, Secure, Reliable and Resilient System 4

  5. Considerations as we move forward… • Starting Points for Utilities - Flexible Policies for all to achieve same end-point • Changing Environment - Adaptability - Customer Needs, Technology, Policies • Poles and Wires will still be required - Grid Modernization Policies will still need to address basic facility failures • Prioritization - Key for all Stakeholder - How fast and how deep • Bill Impacts - How fast and what is the profile • Policies needed to allow innovation and communication investments
