20 The Low Carbon Challenge
Low carbon future context Capacity to Customers (C2C) project

21 UK Energy Challenges 2011 position 1/3rd Electricity, 1/3rd Gas, 1/3rd Oil % reduction in CO2 40% from Wind / PV & new Nuclear 5% Transport 120,000 EV / Hybrid 26M Smart Meters fitted % reduction in CO2 Doubling in electricity demand RIIO-ED1 Traditional reinforcement unaffordable DG represents the most immediate challenge Challenge to identify ‘smart’ ways of efficiently meeting customers’ future needs

22 Our Smart Grid Development
Electricity North West is leading work on developing smart solutions to our future challenges Our strategy is to deliver additional value from existing assets, and we have been awarded over £20million of funding from Ofgem, our regulator, for our two flagship projects: Capacity to Customers Customer Load Active System Services C2C is our focus today and we need your assistance in unlocking the value that this project can bring to you and your business

23 Session 1: Capacity to Customers (C2C) Mike Taylor Strategic Development Manager

24 The Scale of the Challenge
By 2025 Domestic demand 6GW even with optimal scheduling 20% of growth occurs by 2023 Domestic ADMD 2kW Heating Domestic Heat pumps fitted by 2030 8-10kW for 8 hours Additional >2 GW Transport 31% UK12M vehicles will be EV/Hybrid Domestic EVs E-Vans 3-8kW for 8+ hours. 50kW fast chargers. Additional >2 GW Manchester >400MW Generation 93% from renewable / Carbon neutral Sources. 700 MW connected in last 18 months The key focus of this slide is to highlight the scale of the challenge and this should be done by contrasting the current loads (size and duration) of a typical gas centrally heated domestic dwelling with the projected future electrically heated domestic dwelling. The key changes between now and 2025 will be the introduction of heat pumps and EVs – show new HP and EV loads on chart – specifically mention size and duration – and note network has been sized and built for the above chart... The words down the left hand side are to show in network terms the scale of the challenge for Electricity North West i.e. additional 2GW from HPs, additional 2GW from EVs – put into context by explaining if all daily journeys into Manchester are with EVs and they plug in when they park then the network in Manchester would need to double. Last point is the expected increased connection of DG – much more to come, on back of what we’ve recently connected...

25 What is Capacity to Customers?
Utilised Capacity Capacity to Customers Total available network capacity Combining proven technology and new commercial contracts Allows ENWL to release significant network capacity back to customers Facilitating connection of new demand and generation without reinforcement Technical Innovation Current Demand Latent Capacity Total available network capacity Apply remote control equipment to the HV circuit and close the normal open point Enhance network management software This effectively doubles the available capacity of the circuit negating the need for traditional reinforcement New Commercial Contracts To retain customers’ security of supply we will utilise innovative demand side response contracts These contracts will allow ENWL to control the consumption of customers on a circuit at the time of fault

26 Technical Partners

27 As a C2C customer your power supply will be as reliable as usual.
How will C2C work? As a C2C customer your power supply will be as reliable as usual. Power cuts or faults are infrequent, and you may typically only experience one every three years. So, what will happen if you experience a power cut or failure if you’re a C2C customer?

28 In this example, the Reebok Stadium is a C2C managed customer.
A power cut or fault is experienced in this area.

29 Within 3 minutes Majority of customers’ power restored
Managed customer and some non-managed customers are still without power

30 1 hour Typically following a HV fault, power is restored within one hour. All non-managed customers’ power is restored

31 3 hours As a C2C managed customer, the restoration of the non-essential power may be delayed up to a pre-agreed period of time. In this example all of the managed customers’ load is non-essential and it has been restored within 2 hours, less than the agreed period.

32 Learning & knowledge sharing
Project Timeline 2012 Project start up  Software design  Circuit selection and methodology  Customer engagement plans & survey  New commercial templates and processes Design 2013/14 Software user acceptance testing Equipment installation & commissioning Trial ‘go live’ Recruit trial participants Carbon economic & losses impact assessments Continuously engage customers and stakeholders Learning & knowledge sharing Build and Trial Closure Q4 2014 Closedown report & closure

33 Session 2: C2C New Connections Process Victoria Turnham Future Networks Engineer

34 C2C Managed Supply Arrangements
How can opting for a C2C managed supply save you money on your new connection? No network reinforcement charges Reduced connection asset costs

35 No Network Reinforcement - Standard
PRIMARY SUBSTATION X X Point of Connection Reinforcement Required X HV Circuit NEW CONNECTION Connection Assets Normally open point X Circuit breaker

36 No Network Reinforcement - C2C
PRIMARY SUBSTATION X X Normally open point is closed Need to reinforce has been mitigated Point of Connection X NEW CONNECTION Connection Assets Normally open point X Circuit breaker

37 Reduced Connection Assets - Standard
PRIMARY SUBSTATION X X Point of Connection Network Constraint X NEW CONNECTION Connection Assets Normally open point X Circuit breaker

38 Reduced Connection Assets - C2C
PRIMARY SUBSTATION X X Normally open point is closed Point of Connection X NEW CONNECTION Reduced Connection Assets Normally open point X Circuit breaker

39 The C2C Trial Area C2C is a publicly funded Research & Development (R&D) project only available on a portion of our network The trial area is all our 132 & 33kV network and approximately 10% of our HV network To find out if your location is included in our HV trial area, enter your postcode on our website

40 C2C Eligibility Industrial and Commercial customers

47 C2C Commercial Presentation Mark Crane Commercial Manager

48 What this all means for you
Accepting a managed supply contract will give you a substantial saving on a new connection As a customer your supply will be as reliable as usual The smart grid technology installed will allow us to restore supplies to customers faster than we can today Supply reliable as usual 1/3rd of faults occur during the evening Even if the 1 in 3 year fault occurs, it doesn’t mean that supplies will be switched off

49 Network Load Curve The C2C ‘delayed restoration’ will only occur if your part of the network is overloaded at the time of the fault Demand Supply reliable as usual 1/3rd of faults occur during the evening Even if the 1 in 3 year fault occurs, it doesn’t mean that supplies will be switched off

50 Customer Questionnaire
200 existing Industrial & Commercial customers were surveyed A significant number found the concept appealing

51 Key Questionnaire Findings
Uncertainty, regarding disruption or multiple disruptions Length of contract Contract terms Length of contract 1 year rather than 10 years

52 Summary of Contract Terms
The contract will be permanent with the following termination clauses in existence for both parties: You can terminate We can terminate the agreement post trial Should you wish to enter into other Demand Side Response (DSR) activities with third parties, then you must obtain our permission before agreeing to these so that any potential conflicts in demand availability can be determined 1. Customer can terminate after the trial period. However, reinforcement costs may apply. The cost will be capped at the original level quoted in ‘real terms’ ENWL may terminate post trial and will pay reinforcement costs There may be conflicts across different DSM agreements which may need resolving

53 Operating Conditions The C2C managed demand may be called upon at any time Following a fault event where your supply is managed, you will not suffer a delay in restoration of its supply greater than the agreed time after its incoming supply is made live A fault occurs when a fault occurs Commitment is the maximum amount of time, supplies may be restored sooner

54 Distribution Connection & Use of System Agreement
Contract Structure National Terms of Connection Distribution Connection & Use of System Agreement (DCUSA) Connection Agreement Variation The Distribution Connection and Use of System Agreement (DCUSA) was established in October 2006 as a multi-party contract between the licensed electricity distributors, suppliers and generators of Great Britain. DCUSA agreement 800 pages National Terms of Connection 90 pages of which only 40 pages apply to these customers You will have already (or about to) signed the National Terms of Connection agreement
