Oracle Midmarket Luncheon Event 9/21/12 Anastasia Wright, Willdan Energy Solutions

Agenda

• Introduction • Con Edison – NYSERDA Joint Data Center Efficiency

Program (DCEP) Overview — Customer Eligibility — Technical Assistance Studies — Financial Incentives

• Case Studies • Summary and Next Steps

• Con Edison: Electric service provider for NYC and most of Westchester county – Lockheed Martin: Data center outreach contractor for Con

Edison

• New York State Energy Research & Development Authority (NYSERDA): State authority promoting energy efficiency since 1975 – Willdan Energy Solutions: Data center outreach contractor

for NYSERDA.

Introduction: Our Team

Introduction: Why Data Centers?

• Reducing data center energy use critical to reduce stress on grid: – U.S. data centers consume nearly 75

billion kWh of electricity per year1

– NY State has the 2nd largest concentration of data centers in U.S.2

– NYC and San Francisco have highest concentration of data centers2

– NYC identified as critical electric transmission congestion area3
