Overview

Site Controls creates value in energy by providing web-based enterprise-wide energy management, business intelligence, and grid efficiency solutions to retail and energy management businesses worldwide.


• Grid Efficiency– Energy efficiency– Load aggregation and control with no/low consequence– Individual controls for HVAC, lighting, refrigeration, etc.

• Energy and Capacity– Fully Automated– “Always On” resource (24x7x365) – No DR Fatigue– Power plant equivalent resource (with no line losses)– Reduced need for peaking capacity

• Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability– Measurable carbon reductions– Coincident peak load reductions – Reduced greenhouse gas emissions– Reduced energy consumption

Increase in U.S. Electricity T&D Scheduled from 1999 – 2009 (2) 5%

Projected Infrastructure Implications Amount

U.S. & Canadian Infrastructure $$$ Required from 2003 and 2030 (1) $1.6 trillion

U.S. & Canadian Capacity Required from 2003 and 2030 (1) 758,000 MW

Demand Response Implications Amount

U.S. Demand Response Market (Annual) (3) $4.2 billion

U.S. & Canadian Capacity required to serve < 80 hours per year (4) 10%


“Please don’t fix the communication problems, our country couldn’t survive the unemployment problem.”

• DR - What is it to you?– A panic button– Only available 4 times a year– Resource that exhibits fatigue with each additional call– Not worthy unless over 5 MW– Wholesale or Retail resource– M&V? Imagined? Somewhere in-between– Only if I have the button?– It’s too complex to manage in mass – Customers ? Oh yes, them, I forgot.– “They” won’t play– Everyone or no one!

Evolution of ILM

Don’t lose sight of the big picture

All DR is good!However, all DR is not the same nor should it be created,

valued or utilized in the same fashion.

There is not a silver bullet to solve the problems that our energy based economy faces today. We must recognize a blended approach is the answer, not focusing on only one thing. However, we must also recognize the reality of the timing in which these solutions can be delivered.

–DR (Short-term: Months)–EE (Short-term: Months)–AMI (Mid-term: 1 to 15 years)–T&D Assets (Short, Mid and Long-term: Months to 15 years)–Generation (Mid and Long-Term: 3-20 years)


• Consistency– How many different programs do we really need? (Don’t let this

turn into the next rate structure.)• Lower the barriers to entry

– MeteringRequirements by size (0-50kW, 50-500kW, >500kW)Requirements by use (Spinning reserve, capacity, energy)Short-term ability to participate (Wait 5 years while I do AMI?)

– Programmatic Paperwork - “National Certification”?– Pay for Performance – Like Accounting rules, you have to

demonstrate continued performance to be recognized as a dependable resource. Let proof be in delivery, not paperwork.

– ISO/LSE conflict resolution• Timing

– We won’t have this opportunity to structure the market again• What do you want? Quit assuming it can’t be done!

What conversation should we have?
