  1. SmartMeter Program Overview and Impacts for ESPs April 2007

  2. Welcome • Please dial in for the audio, enter the “Identify yourself” code at the bottom of your screen, then minimize the audio instructions • Close all other applications you have running on your PC to ensure a smooth delivery • Maximize your webcast viewing window • For technical assistance during this session, please dial *10* OR directly call the Genesys Support Desk at 1-866-GENESYS

  3. Instructions • Ask Questions via “Chat” function • Phones will be muted • Q & A segment will be held at the end of the webcast • A Q&A follow-up document will address all questions

  4. Our Discussion Today • Overview of PG&E’s SmartMeter™ Program • Scope • Architecture • Deployment Plan and Schedule • General Implications for ESPs • EDI Changes for ESPs • When SmartMeter equipment installed • In Current EDI Files • New Daily EDI Files

  5. Highlights • The PG&E SmartMeter program: • will deploy a system for automated meter reading – hourly meter reads for electric, and daily meter reads for gas • includes two separate systems: a power line carrier system for electric and a radio frequency system for gas • involves an upgrade to both gas and electric meters – approximately 10 Million meters will be upgraded • will be deployed over a five year period. An initial, paced deployment began in Bakersfield in November, 2006. Mass deployment is targeted for September 2007. Deployment efforts are scheduled to conclude in late 2011 • will introduce additional capabilities over time, including outage management and remote connect/disconnect (for a subset of electric customers) • will enable the introduction of demand-response rates for residential and small business customers as early as summer, 2007

  7. Meter Deployment Plan Overview North Coast Start: Lakeport (11/09) Finish: Santa Rosa/ Sonoma/ Petaluma/ Gurneville/Geyserville (10/11) North Valley Start: Marysville/Colusa (11/07) Finish: Sacramento (10/11) Bay Area Start: Concord/Antioch (12/07) Finish: San Francisco (10/11) South Valley Start: Bakersfield (11/06) Finish: Modesto/Turlock (4/10) Central Coast Start: Santa Cruz: (12/08) Finish: Santa Maria (11/10) Note: Information in this presentation represents the best efforts of PG&E’s ESP and IT teams to identify future system output. The actual dates and exact data changes may be somewhat different than the changes identified here.

  9. Implications for ESPs • ESPs will not be able to read SmartMeter gas or electric meters • Some meters are initially excluded from SmartMeter deployment: • Current electric DA interval meters (PG&E and 3rd party) will not be impacted until 2009 • DA metering rules will not change for electric accounts. Electric ESPs will still have the option to replace a SmartMeter electric meter with a 3rd party owned meter for accounts >50kW • Account switching will occur on the bill date, not the meter read date • EDI file content changes for both gas & electric (814, 867 and 810) • The largest implication for ESPs at this point and the reason for today’s webcast

  10. DES/MADS Login Screen showing EDI 814 and 867 Transactions • This is what you see today – the look and feel will not change • For SmartMeter customers • New daily files will appear • Content will change slightly

  11. I. SmartMeter Data - EDI 814 (ACK)(Gas & Electric) Changes • When a SmartMeter gas or electric meter is installed, PG&E: • Assigns a new SA ID • New SA IDs will be assigned when a SmartMeter enabled meter is installed • The DA XREF will remain the same • Identifies the interval size the meter is registering (i.e. 00000015, 00000060, 000001440) • Assigns a new rate name - “H” (e.g., HE1, HG1) • Snapshot reports will be updated with new SA IDs and “H” rate schedule names • Snapshot reports are provided to ESPs twice a month • Switch date will occur on the bill date, not the meter read date

  12. New Data Elements - EDI 814 (ACK)(Gas & Electric) CONNECT DASR: UDC to ESP: Response to Connect – Accept (SP-ACK-CONNECT) 1.8.1) Accepted Connect, meter investigation not required, pending switch date provided – SA is SmartMeter 15 minute Interval Read/Billed Switch Date Interval Rate Name

  13. II. SmartMeter Data - EDI 867 (Gas & Electric) Changes • New daily files with SmartMeter data (gas & electric) • Daily files named with “DAY” in file extension (gas & electric): ESP.2007021414048.DAY.EDI867 • Gas daily files will contain one 24 hour (1440 minutes) interval • Electric daily files will contain interval data (15 or 60 minutes, depending on the rate) • No start or end reads in the daily file • Monthly files will continue, but usage will be in interval format – no more “reads” (gas & electric) • No multiplier for gas consumption • No meter constant for electric

  14. New Data Elements EDI 867 (Electric - Daily) Start Date & Time End Date & Time Interval Size

  15. New Data Elements EDI 867 (Electric - Monthly) …720 hourly intervals

  16. Gas - Monthly New Data Elements EDI 867 - Gas Gas - Daily

  17. III. SmartMeter Data - EDI 810(Gas and Electric) Changes • Total energy usage will carry 6 decimal places • Tiered usage amounts will carry 6 decimal places • No start or end reads • No multiplier for gas consumption • No meter constant for electric • No proration of usage

  18. New Data Elements - EDI 810, E1 Residential (Electric) Total Usage (6 decimal places; no beginning or end reads; no multiplier/constant)

  19. New Data Elements - EDI 810, G1 Residential (Gas) Total Usage (6 decimal places; no beginning or end reads; no multiplier/constant)

  20. For accounts with “SmartMeter billed” status there will be no meter reads displayed on the bill. Usage is calculated to six decimal points vs. five in the current system. Electric Account Detail – E1 Residential Service SAMPLE BILL

  21. Gas Account Detail – G1 Residential Service SAMPLE BILL This is an example of a gas only bill. Again, no reads, nor is the therm factor displayed, and the usage is carried out to six decimals. EMR accounts will continue to show the reads.

  22. Question & Answer We will provide you updates as further information becomes available. Should you have additional questions, please contact edisupport@pge.com, or your PG&E representative.
