An Update on Ontario’s Smart Metering Initiative
Ontario Supply Outlook
• Need to replace 25,000 MW of capacity over 20 years • Desire to reduce coal• Localized system constraints
Smart Metering and Conservation History in Ontario
• 2004 – the province directs the energy board to establish a plan for implementation of smart metering
• Local distribution companies are funded for 3 year program of conservation and demand management
Information Programs - Demand Response and Smart Metering - Large Consumers
• Launched for customers over 200 KW demand
• Provide market intelligence
• Alarms - Via email, fax or phone
• Customers can Adjust accordingly
Provincial Target
• 800,000 smart meters by end of 2007
• 4.5 million (all accounts) by 2010
• Condominium corporations – all by 2010
Implementation Staged Roll Out
• Selected utilities in first phase• Over ½ million installed by end of summer*
* estimated
Meter Data Management/ Repository (MDM/R)
• Province-wide system on behalf of the government of Ontario
• Called the Smart Metering Entity – yet to be formally established
• Currently the MDM/R is being constructed• Interface with 80 LDCs – 12+ systems• Oversight committee• Working groups ongoing
Regulation and Cost RecoverySmart Meters
• Dec. 2006 LDCs file implementation plans
• LDCs to receive an interim rate rider based upon plan
• Generic hearing in summer/fall of 2007 on costs
• MDM/R and AMI hearing by year end
• Time of Use rates – fall
• 2008 LDC rate rider
Occupant Benefits of Multi-Unit Residential
Submetering
Halton Condominium Corporation # 169Case Study
Background
• Implemented late 2005
• Smart meter pilot under CDM
• Space limitations required data collector technology
• Quadlogic chosen as vendor
• Monitor 83 units plus all major loads (common lighting, chiller, etc)
Quadlogic Mini Closet-5 Data Collector
Customer Motivation
• Fair allocation of in-unit consumption costs (many residents are “snow birds”)
• Supports conservation efforts by occupants
• Will be mandated for all condominium units by 2010 through Bill 21 – Energy Conservation Leadership ActSpace Limitations Require Data Collectors

Ontario-Wide Extrapolation
• Extrapolating these results to all of Ontario’s multi-unit residential buildings would result in these annual avoidances:
1,100,000 tonnes CO2
1,650,000 mWh 4,900,000 Kg SO2
1,000,000 Kg NOx
