BGE Smart Energy Rewards Overview  BGE’s Peak Time Rebate Program launched July 8, 2013  Default tariff that is applicable to all residential customers with a smart meter  Customers earn bill credits for reducing electric consumption on approximately 5-10 peak event days each summer called Energy Savings Days  BGE’s existing A/C Cycling Program ( PeakRewards ℠ ) was integrated so customers would cycle during these events 8

PeakRewards SM and BGE Smart Energy Rewards®  BGE’s existing A/C cycling program (PeakRewards) was integrated with BGE Smart Energy Rewards to provide customers with a choice  Customers in PeakRewards are cycled at 50% during Energy Savings Days and are guaranteed to at least receive their monthly PeakRewards credit  Communications specific to PeakRewards customers vs. behavioral only 9

Smart Energy Rewards: 2013 Results  Four Energy Savings Days on 7/10,7/17,7/18 and 9/11  Customer rebates ranged from $8.00 to $11.00 per event  Percentage of customers who earned a rebate ranged from 75% to 93%.  Open rates on event s were 57-65% - 3 to 4 times higher than industry standard and other BGE s at 20%  SER event call back rates of.5% - 1% were less than the 3% modeled  High customer satisfaction with the program 10

Smart Energy Rewards: 2014 Update  BGE held the first Energy Savings Day of the summer on Wednesday July 23,2014  Over 819,000 residential customers with smart meters were eligible  Approximately 785,000 notifications were sent to customers the evening before the event via phone, and text  79% of customers participated in the event  Over 640,000 customers earned a credit  $6.80 average credit for participating customers  Over $2.5 million in credits for the first event  The event received both media coverage and positive customer response on social media 11 Anderson Internal Use Only

BGE Prepares Reports for PJM BGE uses Ventyx Retail Operations Software for Profiling and Settlement Functions  BGE uses Retail Office (RO) to prepare reports for PJM for BGE’s 1.2 million electric accounts – PJM’s energy market is an hourly market with hourly prices that vary depending on system demand and weather conditions – BGE is responsible for providing settlement reports to PJM aggregating hourly loads for each electric customer by electricity supplier Settlement A reported on a daily basis uses historical load relationships among customer segments, weather, and timing of hourly loads (season, day of week, hour) Settlement B is used to true-up Settlement A after meters are read – Additional reports on capacity and transmission requirements are produced daily to facilitate grid reliability 12

BGE’s Demand Response (DR) Reporting 13  Retail Office – Calculates hourly DR reductions – Calculates effects of hourly DR overrides – Creates detailed and summary reports of DR events by time period – Forecasts DR availability for the next 7 days – Support of substation-feeder specific ALM events enabling quantification of the locational reliability and economic impact benefits

Demand Response Eases Local Constraints 14  BGE’s Retail Operations Application – Links each electric account to its feeder and substation – Maps PeakReward devices to electric account maintaining – Percent cycling for each device – Timing of activation and deactivation of events – Customer-specific over-rides of for each event – Estimates hourly load drop during events for each event by account, feeder, substation and for the BGE system – Forecasts of DR availability for next 7 days – After the fact accounting for DR events – Supports substation or feeder specific ALM events for local reliability and economic impact benefits

Operational Impact during Power Supply Emergencies  On July 22, 2011, PJM instituted emergency activation of BGE’s demand response program, PeakRewards ℠ for the 1 st time since program’s inception – Reduced BGE system peak demand by >600 MW – Enabled BGE and other Maryland customers to avert brownouts and rolling blackouts

 BGE’s 450,000 devices contributed 60% to the reduced peak demand in BGE zone BGE Load and Load Management Reductions on 7/22/11 Megawatts (MW) Temperature Estimated that peak demand would have reached 7,800 to 8,000 MW.
