What is Smart Grid? An intelligent network of high-speed, two-way digital communication linking together power systems and customer devices. New digital devices and systems that will utilize this two-way communications framework. The enabler of Smart Energy Customer Premise Customer Premise Customer Premise 2
Smart Grid: Learning from Multiple Pilots Ohio Overview Number of endpoints: 50,000 el. 42,000 gas Timeline: Communication equipment and meters began installation in mid 2008. Distribution Automation devices will be installed and connected in 3 rd qtr. 2009. In-home device pilot began installations in limited number of homes late 2008 / early 2009 NC Overview Number of endpoints: approximately 13,500 planned Timeline: Deployment of communication technology began in October 07 with endpoints connected January September 08. Additional equipment installed in 2009 Approx. 7,000 endpoints currently installed. McAlpine micro-grid project underway SC Overview Number of endpoints: ~7,500 Timeline: First half of 2008 Communication technology deployed connecting existing and new distribution assets. New line sensors deployed Meters and other endpoints have been installed 3 3

Can China Leapfrog with the Right Architecture? Robust, flexible, open architecture being implemented with intelligent network focus It s not about the meter As China builds out new cities, it may be able to avoid going through the analog, passive infrastructure now being replaced in the US and Europe Are there opportunities for collaboration? 8
