Energy Procurement Roles at Cox
• Elevate De-Regulated Market Awareness • Provide Visibility & Transparency • Collaboration with Departments & Subsidiaries • Dependable Resource for Energy Information • Increase Free Cash Flow • Asset Optimization
Data is Key to All of This!
![Page 9: Urjanet webinar-with-cox-enterprises-and-groom-energy](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/554a6e3fb4c90579288b4d21/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Challenges Data Volume: • $100 + million annual spend on electricity & natural gas
• 32,000 separate accounts across 310 utility providers
Inefficient Data Collection Practices: • Contacting Cox subsidiaries across the U.S. for data
• Spreadsheets with manual data entry
Results: • Always falling behind with time-consuming collection process
• Data entry errors
• Data wasn’t current
• Limited visibility into consumption & pricing
![Page 10: Urjanet webinar-with-cox-enterprises-and-groom-energy](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/554a6e3fb4c90579288b4d21/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Objec,ves: Energy Repor,ng Project • Eliminate manual data entry – create an automated
data feed to collect, reconcile, analyze and report on energy consumption & costs
• Connectivity to in-house energy dashboard
• Deliver highly accurate data
• Flexible solution that scales as needed
• Make data available company-wide
• Cost-effective
• Create view of current consumption & spending, as well as a accurate view over time
![Page 11: Urjanet webinar-with-cox-enterprises-and-groom-energy](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/554a6e3fb4c90579288b4d21/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Solu,on & System Evalua,ons
We evaluated many systems, but all had flaws:
• No connection to our Energy Dashboard
• Were primarily bill payment providers
• Ultimately, the vendors wanted to put us into inflexible model that wouldn’t help us meet our primary objective: to get smarter around energy rates, pricing & consumption.
Ultimately chose Urjanet’s energy data service because of service quality, flexibility & cost.

Lessons Learned Automation Isn’t Just a Matter of Convenience • Be more strategic & get out of the data management business. • Not only saves time, but gives access to data weeks faster.
Ensure Buy-In From Executive Team on KPIs Be clear on KPIs that will be tracked – improving energy efficiency, tracking carbon footprint, etc.
Don’t Only Focus on the Front-End Reporting Tools Data is the foundation of any front-end tool you’ll use.
Involve Other Departments Energy data is used by many departments – involve them early in the project and take advantage of economies of scale!

Key Lesson
Don’t Underestimate the Cost of Obtaining Energy Data!
Securing accurate and complete energy data is a perennial implementation challenge that increases budgets and delays rollouts.
![Page 22: Urjanet webinar-with-cox-enterprises-and-groom-energy](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/554a6e3fb4c90579288b4d21/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Types of Energy Data
Monthly Utility Billing Data
Interval Data • Interval data from main meter (delayed). • Interval data from main meter (real time). • Interval data from specific loads (real time).
![Page 23: Urjanet webinar-with-cox-enterprises-and-groom-energy](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/554a6e3fb4c90579288b4d21/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Formula,ng a Strategy
1. Prioritize to Business Imperatives & Use Cases
2. Start With Utility Bill Data
3. Then Move to Selective Use of Interval Data for Certain Facilities
4. From Those, Develop Cost-Effective Energy Data Acquisition Strategy
