The global energy sector in in the

midst of a major transformation

Technology Innovation

Regulation and Policy

Market Demand

Five megatrends underpin the

transformation in Canada

1. Climate policies are subsuming energy

policies

2. Energy customer expectations are

changing

3. Well defined industry lines are blurring

4. Mega projects are more challenging

5. The Energy Cloud is emerging: Old

energy infrastructure is being replaced with

cleaner, more distributed, more intelligent

systems


Highly disruptive

technologies are

rewriting the rules for

how value is created

and distributed.

Transactions will be

increasingly initiated

and delivered

through customer-

centric platforms

ENERGY CLOUDDEFINING THE ENERGY CLOUD TRANSFORMATION


ENERGY CLOUDCAPTURING VALUE THROUGH ENERGY CLOUD PLATFORMS

Investments in Neural Grid infrastructure and emerging technologies through 2030 are

expected to exceed $700 billion.

Transactive Energy platforms are expected to see billions of dollars in software-related

investments, technology integration, and fees by 2030.

More than $250 billion in cumulative investments focused on Smart Cities energy projects

alone are anticipated through 2030.

More than $1 trillion in projected cumulative global revenue is at stake over the next decade across

Internet of Energy platforms.

Integrated DER platforms could support more than $3-4 trillion in a value within the next two

to three decades.

By 2020 more than 6,000 GWh of electricity is expected to be consumed by plug-in EVs annually in

the US, giving rise to Transportation2Grid.

Building2Grid means leveraging $50 billion of anticipated investments in behind-the-meter

integrated energy assets for residential and commercial customers within the next five years.


ENERGY CLOUDNEURAL GRID

NEURAL GRID

Neural Grid describes an autonomous T&D grid leveraging AI,

connectivity, and sensing technologies to support ubiquitous

automation, self-healing, seamless DER integration, customer

engagement and involvement, and ultimately, integration of dispersed

markets for Transactive Energy.


ENERGY CLOUDTRANSACTIVE ENERGY

TRANSACTIVE ENERGY

Transactive Energy (TE) is a power and energy platform through which

economic or market-based exchanges facilitate decision and

transactions involving the generation, distribution, and consumption of

power. TE unlocks peer-to-peer transactions among both active and

passive prosumers.


ENERGY CLOUDSMART CITIES

SMART CITIES

The Smart Cities platform describes the integration of technology into

strategic approach to improve sustainability, citizen well-being, and

economic development in urban centers. The transformation of urban

energy is a foundational element of the

smart city.


ENERGY CLOUDINTERNET OF ENERGY

INTERNET OF ENERGY (IoE)

An important building block in the Energy Cloud, IoE leverages sensors,

telecommunication infrastructure, and machine learning to provide a

digital foundation for the energy industry that touches, or will touch

nearly all aspects of energy generation, transmission, distribution, and

consumption.


ENERGY CLOUDINTEGRATED DER

INTEGRATED DER

iDER refers to coordinated, aggregated DER resources and programs

combined with networking and communications technology across a

service territory. It includes a custom, portfolio-based DER adoption

approach down to the feeder level the encourages customer choice and

flexibility while solving for aggregation

at the grid operator and utility level.


ENERGY CLOUDTRANSPORTATION-TO-GRID

TRANSPORTATION

TO-GRID (T2G)

T2G describes the nexus between electrification of transportation and

the grid. Associated smart charging infrastructure, which adds a layer

of locational flexibility (and unpredictability), potentially unlocks value

and transformative business models across the distribution grid.


ENERGY CLOUDBUILDING-TO-GRID

BUILDING-TO GRID (B2G)

B2G describes the nexus between connected building infrastructure and

the grid. A typical B2G facility includes integrated controls and

automation over internal systems for lighting to HVAC to plug loads and

people movers. It also supports energy assets such as rooftop solar

PV, energy storage, and EV charging infrastructure.


ENERGY CLOUDWHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN

The Energy Cloud transformation is already having a

profound impact The Energy Cloud transformation is

already having profound impact across five core

industry dimensions—customers, policy and regulation,

technology, business models, and operations.
