2. What is “Behind the Meter” Generation? “Commonly used to refer to the flow of electricity before it hits the meter on the transmission system wires” - SPP IM Dictionary and Quick Reference Guide, 2011 NOT “Photovoltaic (PV) industry term “Behind The Meter” (BTM): A renewable energy generating facility that produces power intended for on-site use in a home, office building, or other commercial facility where the solar PV system is literally “Behind The Meter”, on the owner’s property, not on the side of the electric grid/utility. Similar concept applied to municipals. 2014 KMEA Annual Conference

3. What is “Behind the Meter” Generation for Municipalities? Small Generation - Typically < 10 MW up to 25 MW Connected to City’s Internal System < 100 kV - Sub-Transmission Generation for Local Consumption - Not for Sale to Third Parties 2014 KMEA Annual Conference

4. Why Install BTM Generation? - Continued Change PPA Expiration or Unit Retirements Transmission Congestion / Curtailment Obsolescence - Economic, Environmental, or Regulatory Risk Management - Diversity of Sources and Fuels Flexibility - Response to Balance System and Loads Load Growth 2014 KMEA Annual Conference

5. Benefits of Behind the Meter Generation OWNERSHIP - Local Control - Self Sufficiency Avoid Transmission Congestion / Curtailment Local System Reliability Peak Shaving / Reduction Standby / Emergency Response Dispatchable vs. Interruptible Enhance Market Participation 2014 KMEA Annual Conference

6. Risks of Behind The Meter Generation Costs - Capital Intensive Projects Responsibility - Cost and Schedule Resources - Labor Complexity - Coordination Fuel Availability / Management Electric Interconnection Permitting Issues Stakeholder issues 2014 KMEA Annual Conference
