Research Results: Existing or Pending Legislative and Regulatory Activity for AMI/AMR


Adopted AMI Plans & Requirements

Pending AMI Requirements

Pending AMI Studies

No Legislation/Regulation

Notes: Adopted AMI Requirements: In addition to direct orders to deploy AMI, this includes orders from the state public utility commissions directing utilities to file deployment plans. Does not include regulation or laws that serve only to authorize or simply promote AMI deployment. The state of Maine also has pending legislation to place a temporary moratorium on deployment.Pending AMI Studies: Includes states in which the legislature or public utility commission is studying the effects of pilot programs and large scale deployments. This also includes the public utility commission decisions to study the effectiveness of requiring implementation of PURPA Standard 14 (Time-Based Metering and Communications) of EPAct 2005 on a utility-by-utility basis.Source: SAIC

Research Task: Key Drivers for Smart Grid Project Postponement or Cancellation


Research Task: International Programs: Drivers for Smart Grid Development


Notes:•Government Policies/Mandates - The individual country government or region in which the country is a part (e.g., EU) has policies in place or has issued mandates specific to smart grid development.•Environmental Goals – The country has a strong focus on environment and climate goals and the advancement of smart grid initiatives is seen as a key factor in meeting those goals.•Electric Vehicle Integration – The integration of electric vehicles is seen as a major component of smart grid development in the country.•Renewable Integration – The country is focused on rapidly increasing the integration of intermittent renewable energy sources which is driving the need for an advanced grid infrastructure.•Reliability Concerns – The reliability of electric power supply to end use customers is a concern and smart grid development is seen as a main way to mitigate this.•Financial Incentives - The country is supplying a large amount of government subsidies targeted specifically to smart grid development. The country is ranked as one of the top ten in government investment on smart grid. •Energy Efficiency Goals – The country has a focus on the improvement of efficiency in the electric power sector and smart grid initiatives are seen as a way to accomplish this.•Increasing Demand – The country is seeing a rapid increase in energy demand due to increasing population or expanding industry. Smart grid development is seen as a primary means to manage the growing energy demand related to this growth.•Economic Competitiveness – The country views smart grid development as a key way to spur industry growth and improve global economic competitiveness.•Geographic Grid Constraints – Sources of energy supply and centers of energy consumption are separated by long geographic distances or challenging terrain putting strain on the energy delivery system. More effectively managing the energy delivery through smart grid upgrades is seen as a key method of alleviating this issue.•Energy Security Goals – Improving energy security and reducing imports is a key smart grid driver in these countries.•Energy Theft Reduction – Energy theft is widespread and the development of a smart grid, especially smart meters, is viewed as a way to manage these non-technical losses.

Redesigning EIA’s SG data collection:Proposed survey changes


• Summary

• Programs that are highly evolved based on the 2011 clearance, or 2010 reporting year

– Green Pricing

– Net Metering – Remove 2 MW Cap

– Distributed and Dispersed Generation – Add for residential sector, exclude net metered generation

• Redesign existing Demand-Side Management data collection – For revenues, customer counts and sales – add - Are the rates decoupled and

is the revenue adjustment automatic or does it require a rate making proceeding

– For Energy Efficiency to reflect life-cycle effects

– Extract average annual characteristics for economic analysis

Redesigning EIA’s SG data collection:Proposed survey changes


• Summary continued

• New Data Collection – Dynamic pricing programs or time-based rate programs

– Direct load control

– Customer-side systems like non-billing communications

– Distribution system information

• Infrastructure inventory

• Reliability metrics

• Automation

• Enhanced definitions and examples

Redesigning EIA’s SG data collection:Key concepts or definition changes


• Energy Efficiency Programs– Gross Energy

• versus Net Energy Savings (MWh)

– Incremental Annual Savings and Incremental Life Cycle Savings

• versus Annualized Incremental Effects and Actual Annual Effects

– Reporting Year Incremental Costs and Incremental Life Cycle Costs

• versus Annual Costs

– Reduction in cost categories, Customer Incentives Payments and all other costs

• versus direct, indirect, and incentive payment costs

– Remove questions about verification and reporting on another company’s form and

• add question asking for website address to their energy efficiency reports.



• Energy Efficiency Programs– Include new concept Weighed Average Life in Years and provide a worksheet to

calculate this number

• Based on the Northeast Energy Efficiency Partners (NEEP) standards

• Provides critical economic evaluation data



• Demand Response or Load Management– Remove Potential Peak Reduction

– Collect Reporting Year Savings and Reporting Year Costs

• versus Annualized Incremental Effects and Actual Annual Effects and Annual Costs

– Report Customer Incentive Payments and all other costs

• versus Direct, indirect, and incentive payments

– Note indirect costs were never broken down between EE and DR

Redesigning EIA’s SG data collection:Key concepts and definition changes


• New Data Collection: – Dynamic pricing programs or time-based rate programs

• Provide the number of customers you have in these programs and check which of the following programs you have

– Time-of-Use Pricing

– Real-time Pricing

– Variable Peak Pricing

– Critical Peak Pricing

– Critical Peak Rebate

• versus if you have any of these programs provide the number of customers

Redesigning EIA’s SG data collection:Key concepts and definition changes


• New Data Collection: – For AMI and AMR meters

• Number of customers with direct load control

• Number of customers for whom service provider engages in non-billings electronic communication and

• Frequency of this communication

• Number of customers that can access this information at least daily



• New Data Collection: – Distribution System Infrastructure inventory

• Number of Distribution Circuits

• Number of DCs using automation

• Type of automation, yes/no

– switches, VAR control, equipment monitoring

• Number of customer and load served by distribution circuits with automation

Redesigning EIA’s DR&SG data collection:Key concepts or definition changes


• New Data Collection: – Reliability metrics- will need to report every year

• SAIDI and SAIFI, either by IEEE 1366-2003 standard or by a nonstandard method, if you already calculate it that way

• Both with and without Major Events included

• Both with and without loss of supply (probably a transmission organization question)

– Results in 3 SAIDI and 3 SAIFI calculations

– Total number of customers used to calculate SAIDI and SAIFI

Redesigning EIA’s DR&SG data collection:Key concepts or definition changes


• New Data Collection: – Reliability metrics- changes every infrequently, probably just report the first year

and then review in subsequent years

• Percent of system that is Urban, Suburban, and Rural

• What voltages to you consider as distribution system

• Do you have an automated Outage Management System (OMS)

• Do you include inactive accounts

• Do you include non-customer meters

• How do you define momentary interruptions, less than 1 minute, less than 5 minutes or other

• How do you define major events, five options

• Do you receive information about an outage before the customer reports it?
