4 Cameron Substation GIS Building

5 Mandate of EDS Distribute Electricity: Safely Reliably Economically

6 Value of Reliable Electricity Academic Facilities Hospital Budget: $710 Million/yr Reliable Electrical Support Residential Facilities Research Facilities $678 Million Grants & Contracts Athletics Budget: $61 Million / yr Support Facilities

7 UNC Health Care System - Chapel Hill State-of-the-art patient care Association with the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Medicine teaching mission 724-bed facility 32,000+ discharges & over 742,000 visits per year 2 million sq ft JCAHO guidelines for accreditation

8 Energy Services Campus Electric Distribution Suppliers Duke Energy -Peak Load to Date appx. 84MW Cogeneration Facility 33MVA 3 Substations 12.47KV 64 Miles Underground Circuit 5 Miles Overhead Circuit

9 5-YEAR RELIABILITY GOALS ( ) GOAL #1: INCREASE UNADJUSTED CUSTOMER ASAI RELIABILITY FROM % (141 MINUTES SAIDI) TO AT LEAST % (LESS THAN 60 MINUTES PER YEAR). GOAL #2: INCREASE ADJUSTED CUSTOMER ASAI RELIABILITY FROM % (40 MINUTES SAIDI) TO AT LEAST % (LESS THAN 20 MINUTES PER YEAR). Note: Unadjusted metrics account for all outage sources. Adjusted metrics remove Duke Energy outages. ASAI - Average Service Availability Index SAIDI - System Average Interruption Duration Index

10 Current Reliability Statistics (2008) Average Service Availability Index ASAI % (vs % ) System Average Interruption Duration Index SAIDI = 115 (vs. 60) Outage Min. Per Delivery Pt. Per Yr After Adjustment, Removing Supplier-Sourced Outages ASAI = % (vs %) SAIDI = 23 (vs. 20) Minutes Duke Energy = 148 Minutes Per Year (2007) Progress Energy = 94 Minutes Per Year

11 Reliability Progress - SAIDI SAIDI (avg. customer outage duration) 5-Year Goals to 2008 Initial end 2008 Unadjusted Adjusted Minutes

12 Year Outage Causes All Events Separated by Cause Major Causes by Year For 5 Years Total of 76 Events Other UNC-based, 1, 1% Tree Caused, 6, 8% Fuse Blown, 1, 1% Momentary-Initiated, 1, 1% Tree Caused Squirrel Caused Lightning, 3, 4% Contractor Error, 20, 26% 2006 Equipment Failure Contractor Error Switching Error, 4, 5% 2005 Squirrel Caused, 8, 11% Equipment Failure, 32, 43% Annual Avg Events/Year
