Helping to Create a Culture of Conservation David J. Collie President and CEO An Update on Ontario’s Smart Metering Initiative

The Ontario Market

Ontario Supply Outlook Need to replace 25,000 MW of capacity over 20 years Desire to reduce coal Localized system constraints

Smart Metering and Conservation History in Ontario 2004 – the province directs the energy board to establish a plan for implementation of smart metering Local distribution companies are funded for 3 year program of conservation and demand management

Information Programs - Demand Response and Smart Metering - Large Consumers Launched for customers over 200 KW demand Provide market intelligence Alarms - Via , fax or phone Customers can Adjust accordingly

Regional Centre of Excellence CDM – Smart Meters for Market Bidding

In-School Education Linked with Smart Meter Data

Provincial Target 800,000 smart meters by end of million (all accounts) by 2010 Condominium corporations – all by 2010

Implementation Staged Roll Out Selected utilities in first phase Over ½ million installed by end of summer* * estimated

Time of Use Pricing Numerous pilot projects being conducted Determining price sensitivity points

Meter Data Management/ Repository (MDM/R) Province-wide system on behalf of the government of Ontario Called the Smart Metering Entity – yet to be formally established Currently the MDM/R is being constructed Interface with 80 LDCs – 12+ systems Oversight committee Working groups ongoing

Public and Employee Communications – Toronto Hydro Used with permission

Regulation and Cost Recovery Smart Meters Dec LDCs file implementation plans LDCs to receive an interim rate rider based upon plan Generic hearing in summer/fall of 2007 on costs MDM/R and AMI hearing by year end Time of Use rates – fall 2008 LDC rate rider

Occupant Benefits of Multi-Unit Residential Submetering Halton Condominium Corporation # 169 Case Study

Background Implemented late 2005 Smart meter pilot under CDM Space limitations required data collector technology Quadlogic chosen as vendor Monitor 83 units plus all major loads (common lighting, chiller, etc) Quadlogic Mini Closet-5 Data Collector

Customer Motivation Fair allocation of in-unit consumption costs (many residents are “snow birds”) Supports conservation efforts by occupants Will be mandated for all condominium units by 2010 through Bill 21 – Energy Conservation Leadership Act Space Limitations Require Data Collectors

Conservation Effect Data Weather Normalized & Adjusted for Lighting Retrofit Implementation Customer “Adjustment” Period20% Conservation Effect

Benefit as a Diagnostic Tool

Diagnostic Tool (Con’t) Why is Ramp Heater On? No Snow & 12°C After Repair, Normal Operation Resumes

Ontario-Wide Extrapolation Extrapolating these results to all of Ontario’s multi-unit residential buildings would result in these annual avoidances :  1,100,000 tonnes CO 2  1,650,000 mWh  4,900,000 Kg SO 2  1,000,000 Kg NO x
