1 Barriers to Grid Modernization Breakout Session B: Should Grid Operations be Changed? Joe Miller Sr. Vice President - Horizon Energy Group Member NETL Modern Grid Team jmiller@horizonenergygroup.com

2 Characteristics of a Smart Grid A Smart Grid will: Motivate and include the consumer Accommodate all generation and storage options Enable markets Provide power quality for 21 st century needs Optimize assets and operate efficiently Anticipate & respond to system disturbances (self-heal) Resist attack

3 What s taking so long to get there? So many variables to align: Lot of players Regulation Legislation Communication and Culture Technical

4 Lot of players! All Play a Part Need a clear vision Alignment critical Keep the End in mind Must be win-win Policy & Regulation FERC PUC s NERC Government Federal State Local Others EPRI Financial Firms R&D NARUC Utilities IOU s Publics RTO / ISO Power Organizations marketers Advocacy EEI Vendors Rate Payer Technology Groups Services Environmental Consumers Groups Industrial Commercial Residential 4

5 Regulation - Incentives and Risk Regulatory policy should incentivize investment in the Smart Grid: Time based rates and net metering More favorable depreciation rules Policy changes to give utilities an incentive to invest in grid modernization new regulatory model Clear policies on cost recovery Consider societal benefits NETL s Modern Grid Team providing support to state regulators

6 Legislation - Incentives and Risk What is the federal government s role: 21 st century s equivalent to put a man on the moon Leadership Incentives Research, development, and demonstration Energy Independence and Security Act 2007 RD&D Program for SmartGrid technologies Regional Demonstration Initiative Matching funds program

7 Communication and Culture A significant change management effort is needed: Strengthen consumer education and research Active leadership by regulators to stimulate progress Alignment around a common vision Metrics to monitor progress De-siloed utility culture DOE SmartGrid Implementation Workshop June 2008 Vision and Metrics

8 Technical Some technical issues: Simplified interconnection standards Integration vs. widgets Distributed system behavior not well understood Decades behind in computing and communications Loss of skilled human resources Minimal funding of R&D

9 Keep this in mind! Cost to Modernize $165B over 20 years $127B for Distribution $38B for Transmission ~$8.3B per year (incremental to business-as-usual) Current annual investment - $18B (Source: EPRI, 2004) Benefit of Modernization $638B - $802B over 20 years Overall benefit to cost ratio is 4:1 to 5:1 We are making progress and the prize is grand!
