Content of presentation Brief of Vattenfall Group Project overview Choosing right AMR Technology Cost development Strategy to achieve deliverables Lessons learned so fare Next steps 2
Vattenfall Group in brief BG Vattenfall Nordic (Sweden, Finland, Denmark) BG Vattenfall Central Europe (Germany, Poland) Europe s fourth largest generator of electricity and the largest generator of heat Vision: To be a leading European energy company Operations in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany and Poland Electricity generation, transmission, distribution, sales and trading Heat generation, distribution and sales More than 32,000 employees Turn-over 15,200 MEUR (2007) Vattenfall AB is wholly owned by the Swedish State 3
The Background Why AMR in Vattenfall Management Vision Vattenfall is number one when the customer considers us as the obvious first hand choice Lars G. Josefsson, President & CEO I would like to understand my electricity bill. New legislation Customer demands Monthly readings for all customers at the latest 01 July 2009 Hourly readings for all customers having a subscription of electricity with a power limit 80-200 Amperes at the latest by 1 July 2006 4
The AMR project goal 2002-2008 Install Automated Meter Reading for all 850 000 distribution customers in Sweden latest by end of June 2009 to - support billing based on actual consumption - energy efficiency by enhancement of visualizing energy consumption 5
The AMR Business Case in Sweden DECREASED READING COST Decreased cost for move in / move out reading Decreased cost for suppliers change reading Reduced customer service cost 6
Project AMR status The AMR Project will be finalised according to time plan. About 95 % of 850 000 exchanged in May 2008. The AMR system includes much more functions and technology that original planned such as power outage reporting, power quality reporting and alarms, power/peak control and remote switching. The total cost will be within investment decisions. 7
Project AMR Roll-out status in May 2008 AMR 3- Telvent (Dec 2005) Residential Meters, 600 000 ordered Pilot 2400 meters in June 2006 in SW Massive roll-out started up in August 2006 in three regions, 540 000 installed in May 08 AMR 2 Iskraemeco (July 2004) Residential & Hourly Meters, 150 000 ordered Main part installed in Central Sweden and Gotland Residential finalised in June 2006 and Hourly Readed Meters in September 2006 AMR 1- Actaris (June 2003) Residential Meters, 110 000 ordered Main part installed in SW Finalised in June 2006 8

AMR - next steps to Smart Metering and Smart Grid Business Case BC 1 BC 2 BC 3 BC 4 BC 5 BC 6 Description Power Outages Includes development of an interface to the Driss/TCS system for taking care of AMR outages data in operation centre during outage situations and a report in PER as an additional short term solution. Power Quality / Network analysis Includes development of a net topologic tool for net analysis regarding hourly energy consumption and power quality events based on the Netbas system. Additional functionality in MDMS and the collecting systems are needed to enable hourly meter values. Also a report in PER to be used regarding customer complains and general power quality issues will be developed. Energy Losses Illegal use of power A pilot project should be set up for approximately 50 net stations in special areas to verify the benefits and give us more information of how the information could be used in the organization before expand the investments to other areas. Power losses - Illegal upgrade of fuse size The investment includes development of a report in PER and system integration with MAR and collecting system for AMR 1 and 2, which will be used to solve the problem with customer who illegally upgrade the fuse size. Customer Service Efficiency Includes development of functions, which deals with spontaneous readings, ordered readings and tariff handling for AMR 1 and 2. The goal is to harmonize the functions with AMR 3. Alarm when zero (earth) fault occurs To implement the function, new software must be developed by the supplier of AMR 3 and system improvements in the PER system. 18
