4. Clean energy transition underway at National Grid
Solar
We’ve received more requests in the past two years to connect solar to our system than new gas services
Recently invested $100M in Sunrun, the largest dedicated residential solar company in U.S.
Acquired Geronimo Energy, major renewable developer
National Grid 23MW solar farm in Calverton, Long Island selected for operation in 2022
Wind
We connected Deepwater Wind’s Block Island wind farm to grid - first offshore wind installation in the U.S.
Electric Vehicles (EV) & Battery Storage
We own and have installed 165 EV charging stations, NY stations development program
2 MW Battery storage projects in upstate NY - Pulaski
Two 5MW battery storage projects approved on LI; East Hampton in operation; Montauk in operation by end of year
Biogas
Our Newtown Creek Renewable Gas Project is expected to inject enough renewable natural gas from organic waste to heat 5,200 residential homes

5. REV Demonstration Projects
Clifton Park Demand Reduction
Potsdam Community Resilience
Distributed System Platform
Fruit Belt Neighborhood Solar
Distributed Generation Interconnection

8. Move from DER interconnection to DER integration
The Vision
Move from DER interconnection to DER integration
For the Household
Lower Bills, Improve Power Quality
For Site Developer
Reduce Interconnection Time and Cost
Standardize Settings
For the PV Industry
Higher PV Penetration, Future Growth of Solar
For National Grid
Manage Peak Reduction
Increase Supply Diversity
Greater Access and Utilization of Clean Energy
For All Stakeholders

9. Applications Interconnected

10. Advanced (Smart) Metering Infrastructure
Started in built on a Collaborative Process that included participation of customers, environmental groups, state agencies, labor, energy policy institutes, low-income advocates and other stakeholders
Filed in November 2018, currently before PSC
6 year rollout from approval
First two years – Design and full customer awareness plan
Years 2-6 – Meter Installation (1.7 million electric meters/640k gas modules)
Customer Protections
1 year “hold harmless” for all customers/3 years for low-income

11. Natural Gas – Need to serve remains
Albany Loop Northeast Supply Enhancement
Capital Region reinforcement Offshore pipeline links NJ to Rockaways
Diversify Supply Increase supply to region
Reduce constraints Robust Demand in NYC/LI displaces Oil
Forestall moratorium Notified projects of pending growth limits
Renewable Natural Gas: leading a collaborative effort to develop quality standards and stream line connections process; examining biomass and hydrogen blending; partnering with NYC on injecting water/food waste gas into system
