What is the “Smart Grid”?
A Useful Analogy
- What is the Internet?
- Is it the network switches, server farms, and fiber optic cables?
Or does the Internet, and the value it provides, come from the applications that sit on top of the enabling infrastructure?
The Internet’s “Killer Apps”: email, social networking, the World Wide Web
“Knowledge is Power” – Sir. Francis Bacon
The Smart Grid is ultimately about information – knowledge – but the true value – or power - of that knowledge lies in how it can be used.
The Smart Grid can be a vehicle to hugely empower consumers
PROVIDED
• It allows customers, or those they designate, to timely and directly access their information
• It prevents unauthorized parties from doing so – the systems are secure
• It provides an open foundation on which to provide services – that is, it is based on open, non-proprietary protocols, as the Internet is
The Smart Grid is not AMI
- Advanced Meters and the Infrastructure that connects them are not inherently “smart”
- The Smart Grid is more than meters and wires
- Smart Meters and AMI enable “smart” applications
- It is the applications that provide the real value- Demand Response / Price Responsive Load through “smart” rates
- Energy Management
- Grid Management
As with the Internet, it is the applications we haven’t thought of yet, that will probably provide the most value to consumers
The Smart Grid’s First “Killer App”:Demand Response
“Demand response is clearly the ‘killer application’ of the smart grid.”
- FERC Commissioner Jon Wellinghoff
12
C&I Demand Response – The First “Killer App”
- Most DR today isn’t “smart” and comes in the form of Interruptible Tariffs (“Press and Pray”) and residential Direct Load Control, with little to no real-time visibility.
- Aggregators like EnerNOC have enabled next-generation demand response without waiting for AMI/Smart Grid deployments – we make existing meters “smarter” and operate our own “smart grid.”
- Post AMI deployment, there is still a crucial role for an Aggregator. C&I demand response will never be plug & play:
– ZigBee chips may allow DLC for refrigerators and washing machines in the home, but that approach won’t work for C&I loads.
– If a meter cannot be successfully attached to loads, its communication and/or control functionality provides limited benefit.

EnerNOC’s DR Technology
Network Operations Center (NOC)
Our two NOCs, staffed 24x7x365,
feature advanced technology and
specialized staff to ensure that load
reductions happen quickly, efficiently,
and consistently for both the utility
and end user.
EnerNOC Site Server (ESS)
The ESS is a gateway device that
establishes communication with sites in
our network and provides near-real time
visibility into end-user energy
consumption. The ESS also allows the
NOC to remotely curtail loads in order to
deliver demand response capacity.
EnerNOC has invested millions in its highly-scalable technology platform, which provides a foundation for consistent and reliable DR event performance.
PowerTrak®
EnerNOC’s web-based energy
management platform, PowerTrak,
monitors energy consumption and
enables end-user load control.
PowerTrak also provides end-users with
a web portal and utilities with the ability
to view load reductions during demand
response events.

Why is Demand Response Important?
Annual Energy Demand
50%
100%
Winter Spring Summer Fall
75%
90%
25%
In 2008, 10% of New England’s peak demand occurred in
46 hours.*

15
Demand Response Benefits Ratepayers
• ISO-New England: Electricity Costs White Paper (2006)
– Reducing electricity use by 5% during peak times will save consumers $580 million per year
• Brattle Group: Quantifying Demand Response Benefits in PJM (2007)
– $138-281 Million of system benefits to PJM if load curtailed 3% during top 20 5-hour price blocks of 2005
• Summit Blue: Demand Response Resources Valuation and Market Analysis (2006)
– Forecast: Demand response will save $892 million in capacity charges over next 20 years (present value, 2004 $)

Portfolio Management is a key component of this “Killer App,” allowing participation from
end-users who are too small to directly interface with a market or utility.

How Do We Do It - Performance Coaching
4/23/09 (12:12) [email protected] will make sure his team shuts everything down. I will call him back in 10 minutes with an update.4/23/09 (12:26) [email protected] Bill again to indicate that they are making progress as of 1:20 reading, but still not all the way there. He is on it with his team, and he apologized that “they weren’t on the ball at 12pm.”

Demand Response Benefits to Consumers
Revenue Community Environment
Performance coaching, coupled with portfolio management allows Aggregators like EnerNOC to guarantee performance to utilities and ISOs/RTOs without penalizing participating customers. Reliability is maintained and expensive and dirty new generation is avoided.
Making the Smart Grid a Reality:
What will it take?
22
Making the Smart Grid a Reality: What will it take?
• Customer/Agent access to meter data.– Customers need to own their own information and be able to access it on their
own terms
• Interoperability and Open Standards.– The Smart Grid must be a platform that allows innovators to innovate
• Smart Rates– Information is useless if it is not actionable
• Proper incentives.- The enabling technology may be present, but without smart policies,
disincentives still exist.
- Policies are needed that level the playing field between DR and supply-side investments.
- Decoupling addresses some disincentives associated with DSM, but mostly in terms of energy efficiency.
- Carrots appear to work better than sticks at motivating changes in utility behavior.
