9 Presentation Outline Introduction and Overview NEM vs FIT GRU s FIT Lessons Learned Summary

10 Gainesville Regional Utilities Municipally-owned Utility Electric, natural gas, water, wastewater, telecom 93,000 customers 421 MW Peak 533 MW Capacity

11 NEM VS FIT

12 NEM Challenges Customer s Perspective Net metering benefits limited to whomever has the utility account (not necessarily the property owner) Does not create cash flow for financing GRU/City of Gainesville Perspective Reduces local tax revenues (City & County) Reduces Utility revenues System size limited to circuit rating of building Payments not equal among customer rate classes

13 Feed-In Tariff Addresses All of These Issues Predictable, performance-based financial arrangements Creates opportunity for creative business models that can capture tax benefits for customers Improves financial feasibility of solar PV for all customer rate classes No impact to local utility or tax revenues
