Energy Efficiency & Background
Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund was created in 1998 by CT State Legislature
Energy efficiency is a valuable resource Reduces air pollutants and greenhouse gases
Creates monetary savings for customers
Reduces need for more energy generation
Creates jobs
The overall vision for the future evolution of the Energy Efficiency Fund C&I programs is to cost-effectively support a sustainable and competitive business
climate for Connecticut’s businesses and industries based on bottom-line solutions for economic competitiveness, environmental stewardship, and social
responsibility.
Energy Efficiency Programs
Offer technical assistance to commercial & industrial customers who want to improve energy efficiency
Offer financial incentives to help implement energy-efficient measures No. 8 ranking in ACEEE’s 2010 State Scorecard Support economic growth in Connecticut*
– Creates more than 2,675 direct jobs
– Acts as an economic development engine creating businesses to deliver energy efficiency services

SCG Rates Structure
Gas Rates comprised of two major categories:
• Delivery Rates• Customer charge
• Daily demand Meter charge
• Demand charge
• Delivery per CCF charge
• Supply Rates• PGA
• Sales Services Charge (“SSC”)- OR -
• 3rd Party transportation charge (Gas Marketer)
• Transportation Services Charge (“TSC”)
SCG Rates Structure - Delivery
C&I Customers Assigned to their rate class based on annual usage
Rate SGS (small, <5,000 CCF)
Rate GS (>5,000 < 20,000 CCF*)
Rate LGS (>20,000 CCF*)
* Breakpoint will change to 30,000 CCF with implementation of new rates in 2011
For Larger C&I customers (rates GS & LGS) the monthly demand charge is the highest cost
delivery rate component

The Billed MDQ is the higher of the actual peak daily DDM read, the Average Annual Daily Use (AADU) or tariff minimum. If no DDM read is available, an estimate using a base and heat factor per degree day is substituted.
An annual review is conducted each April to determine if any customer MDQ values should ratchet down starting with May bills

The Future of Energy: Building a Smart System
Mr. Roddy Diotalevi
Senior Director, UI
What is the Smart Grid?
EPRI’s definition to NIST: The term ‘Smart Grid’ refers to a modernization of the
electricity delivery system so it monitors, protects, and automatically optimizes the operation of its interconnected elements – from the central and distributed generator through the high voltage network and distribution system, to industrial users and building automation systems, to energy storage installations and to end-use consumers and their thermostats, electric vehicles, appliances, and other household devices.

Centered around the Customer Increase system reliability
Improve operational efficiency
Improve asset utilization
Integration of Distributed Resources and energy storage
Educate customers on energy consumption to help them better manage their usage
Network Meter Deployment
SMART Meters Deployment of 80,000 meters began 2010 - 45,000 installed to
date Two way communications to customer premise Remote Meter Controls Ability to leverage technical capabilities of AMI
– System related• Voltage control and outage detection
– Customer related• ZigBee enabled Home Area Network (HAN)
114
Home Area Network (HAN)
Provides near real-time information for the customer to better manage their energy use
Creates opportunities for customers to save energy.
– Dynamic Pricing– Residential Demand Response– Integration of distributed resources
Enables next generation energy efficiency applications
– Electric Vehicles and Smart Appliances
UI’s HAN Pilot
Objective – Evaluate HAN system solutions including devices, software, and implementation process in order to determine costs, benefits, and potential program offerings to the customer
Initial pilot to include approximately 925 households HAN devices - Tendril & Energy Hub
– In-home display, programmable t-stats, controllable plugs, EVSEs Research study with UC Davis
– Assess customer engagement & savings Explore potential programs during pilot
– Demand Response– Dynamic Pricing
– Integration of Behavioral component Assess applicability to other customer segments
– Business customers are often more sensitive to price
– Open to innovative product and service offerings that boost profitability.
HAN Challenges
Customer engagement and education
Benefit / Cost of investment
Rapid evolution of technology
National standards for data privacy, cybersecurity and interoperability
Bandwidth availability of AMI
Hype vs. reality around smart grid programs
UI’s EV Goals
Electric Vehicles
EVs are coming to CT Goal of 25,000 electric cars statewide by 2020
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Council– Strategize on preparing CT for rapid & seamless integration of EVs into
the market
– (http://www.ct.gov/ecd/lib/ecd/ev_final_recommendation_9.1.10.pdf)
Key Recommendations– Gain early access to EVs
– Enact Legislation to incent EV adoption
– Support build-out of EV charging infrastructure
– Develop policies for rates, pricing, and charging options
– Collaborate to develop regional corridor for public charging
UI’s EV Pilot
Preparing for EV Arrival
UI Activities Provide leadership and educate customers on EV technology
Stay engaged with stakeholders – EVIC, REVI, EDTA, EPRI, EEI, etc.
Build-out of EV charging infrastructure– EVSE pilot for 10 - 12 charging stations underway
Explore residential charging options – First Volt has arrived
– 95% of EV charging will occur at home
Assess impact to distribution system– Impacts are most severe on transformers and low voltage wires
Assess future opportunities, such as “Smart Charging” and “Vehicle-2-Grid”
