1. 1 Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) “Utility of the Future” Tom Mimnagh Consolidated Edison Co of New York New York Energy Week April 23, 2015

2. Con Edison also includes: Orange & Rockland Utilities – Gas and Electric Con Edison Solutions – Energy Services in 13 States Con Edison Development – 170 MW utility scale solar Footprint: 660 square miles; 133 miles of T&D cable; 6+ mln room A/C units In Manhattan, 70,000 customers/sq mile; 2,000 MW/sq mile About Con Edison 2

3. Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) A New York State initiative Empower customers to manage energy use and electricity bill Encourage innovation by third parties to create new market-based products and services Enable distributed energy resources (DERs) to manage load and optimize the system, and to improve system efficiency Reduce carbon emissions and increase resource diversity 3 3

4. Distributed generation trends The number of solar PV projects more than doubled in 2014 Customers are actively pursuing Combined Heat and Power systems Existing CHP CHP Pipeline Projects (2013 – 2018) 4

5. $189 million in EE incentives in five years; 222,000 customers Emphasis on shaping load curves 34,000 customers participate in distribution DR programs – 397 MW 6 million window air conditioning units in NYC Piloted “modlet” technology that allows customers to remotely control window A/C units – and unlocks demand response resource 5 Con Edison’s EE and DSM programs Targeted programs have deferred more than $200 million of infrastructure in 10 years

8. Meets capacity shortfall through a $200 million program – Non-traditional customer-sided 41 MW ($150 m) – Utility-sided solutions 11 MW ($50 m) 78 responses to RFI Expenditures treated as 10 year capital assets with regulated return Includes incentive for new performance metrics 8 Brooklyn-Queens Demand Management Program (BQDM) Deferral of $1.2 billion in traditional network upgrades with distributed solutions Targeted area (4 networks)

9. Building a DER Resource Portfolio DER solutions must address at least 12 hours for the forecasted summer overload period* MW Sample Network Peak Day Load Curve *Diagram is illustrative only 9

10.  What is the proper role for distribution utilities?  Are markets the most effective way to encourage DER expansion and to capture the full benefits of DER or non-market mechanisms work as well or perhaps better?  How do we connect the wholesale and retail markets and coordinate information flows?  Does a transactive energy market framework empower consumers or complicate their lives? How long will it take and how much will it cost to create a fully functioning DSP?  Who will pay for the new investments required to create new markets (or even to encourage DER through non-market mechanisms) and who will benefit from them?  Will a decentralized electric grid with large volumes of distributed energy resources be able to ensure grid reliability and increase resiliency? What is the role of the Distributed System Platform (DSP)? Customers should get more flexibility to control their bill. Safety, reliability and resiliency must be maintained or increased as the grid becomes more complex. 10
