2. Agenda APS Overview Smart Grid Objectives AMI Activity Utility Technologies Customer Programs Questions

3. Key Statistics Serve over 1.1 million customers Largest IOU in Arizona Serving ½ of Arizona’s population in 11 of 15 Arizona counties Peak demand ~7,100 MW Owns and operates about 6,000 miles of transmission lines and 28,000 miles of distribution lines Over 36,000 square miles of territory 2012 Energy Innovation Recognition #4 Most Intelligent Utility Top 10 in Smart Grid #3 in Solar Deployed APS Overview

4. Smart Grid – Why? The primary objectives of deploying a smarter grid are to: Optimize System Reliability & Performance Empower Customers Enable Alternative Energy Image Source: Climateinc.org APS is piloting and/or implementing a number of advanced technologies in order to meet these key objectives

5. The APS Smart Grid Timeline-to-Date The major launch of APS’s Smart Grid strategy occurred in 2006 with AMI … followed by Flagstaff 1970s 2009 20082010200720112006 DOMS TOAN TOU Rates Electric Vehicle Pilot Program Home Energy Information Pilot Peak Solutions Flagstaff AMI 2012 Pioneer Battery Storage 5

6. Deployment of nearly 1,000,000 “Smart Meters” by end of 2013 Over 85% way completed with meters in Phoenix, Prescott, Yuma, and Flagstaff –More than 890,000 meters deployed Remote meter reading, connect/disconnect, and rate change –Over 1,000,000 field orders avoided to date Receiving more than 23,000,000 intervals per day Greater customer information and flexibility Operational and planning benefits AMI / Smart Meters 6

18. Leveraging AMI Data Analytics

19. Renewable Energy Standard (RES) 15% of Retail Sales by 2025 –< 70% from Utility Scale –> 30% from Distributed Energy o 50% from Residential o 50% from Non-Residential Within the year, > 250 MWs of DE Utility Scale PV –200 MWs Approved Schools & Governmental Program –~15 MWs Approved 280 MWs of Concentrating Solar ~ 1,000 MWs Owned or In Development

20. Predictive/Preventative: – Transformer Oil Analysis Notification (TOAN) – Substation Health Equipment Monitoring – Distribution Asset Monitoring – Distribution Fault Anticipation – Phasor Measurement Units APS is piloting and/or implementing a number of advanced technologies in order to improve overall system performance Utility Technologies 20

21. Restorative/Post-Event: – Self-Isolating / Self-Healing Feeders – Distribution Automation (remote supervisory control) – Outage Notification Performance Optimization: – Battery Storage – Integrated Volt/Var Control – Conservation Voltage Reduction Utility Technologies 21

22. Flagstaff Area Pilots Community Power Project: – 125 Residential Installations (438 kW) – Cromer Elementary School (400 kW) 325 kW Ground Mount 75 kW Rooftop – Doney Park Renewable Energy Site (500kW) – Battery Energy Storage ( 500 kW – 1.5MWh) Elden Sub (bulk storage, peak shaving, operational control) Doney Park (renewable variability, capacity firming)

23. Flagstaff Area Pilots Department of Energy Grant: – High Penetration Study (Beginning of Phase 3) Smart Circuit Technologies: – Distribution Fault Anticipation Four Feeders and Two Subs (CQ12&14, PR2&6) – Fault Location Isolation Service Restoration (FLISR) Ten Automated Feeders Peer-to-Peer Communication & Logic S&C’s “IntelliTeam” IT2 / SG

24. Metro Area Pilots Pioneer (Objectives): – Test a second FLISR control strategy – Demonstrate Volt/Var Optimization – Position SC technologies as a qualified measure towards meeting EE Standard (22% by 2020) Scope: – Integrated Volt Var Control (IVVC) Pioneer 17, 20, 21, & 22 Mazatzal 2 & 6 Conservation Volt Reduction (CVR) – FLISR Technology (Self-Isolating) Pioneer 12, 20 and Gavilan Peak 41 Cooper’s Yukon Centralized Logic – 3 rd Party Testing & Validation

25. Home Area Network (Residential EE & DR): – Five Program Types being tested: Peak Event Pricing with Enabling Technology In-Home Displays Direct Load Control Smart Phone & PC App Pre-Pay Energy Service – Leveraging AMI & broadband communications – Targeting both consumption and demand reduction – Rigorous assessment of technology & consumer behavior – Up to 2,800 customers – Pre-Pay launched in July 2012 – Full Deployment in Q2 of 2013 Home Energy Information Pilot

26. Combination of utility technologies & customer facing programs Preventative/Predictive, Restoration/Post-event, & Performance Optimization Utilize pilots and small scale deployments Leverage existing systems and investments Cross collaboration and support are essential!!! Summary
