1 Connectivity: the Key to the Smart Network Richard Bertolo Project Director Smart Networks February 25, 2009

2 Who are we Transmission: 28,600 (circuit - km) interconnected 85,000 towers, 4000 km fibre Peak demand: 27,005 MW Energy transmitted: 157 TWh Distribution: 123,000 km of distribution lines, 1.8M poles, 1.3M customers, 640,000 sq km service territory (twice the size of Texas), acquired 90 utilities since 2000 (still about 90 utilities left) 2

3 Ontario Ministry of Energy Direction Create an energy conservation culture across Ontario and help consumers better manage their electricity use More efficient use of Ontario s existing supply Reduce reliance on external generation resources Need to replace 80% of generation over next 20 years (~$70B) Convert 100% of the 1.2 million smart meters to TOU.

15 Data Tsunami The current grid produces enormous volumes of data, most of which cannot be analyzed, or is analyzed in an isolated context. The Smart Network will produce exponentially more data, so if a utility does not change how it processes and analyzes that data, it will flounder operationally and competitively 15

Non-dominant commercial carrier 7/24 NOC operated for Hydro One Networks However, Tx focussed! 18

19 Leveraging those Assets 19

20 Rotary-dial phones in an iphone world Utilities need to upgrade their telecommunications infrastructure: Bandwidth new workers in 2010 will require more than 30 times the data bandwidth that the current radio systems provide CEA Distribution Roadmap Aging Infrastructure Taking the opportunity to refresh telecommunications assets with modern technologies as older equipment is retired is an important step to cost-effectively realising EnergyAustralia s intelligent electricity network vision. Smart Meters lead the way to Smart Networks There is no perfect communications method there is no single system today that covers the whole service area of a utility s grid, including adequate coverage to handle every meter and other device that might be deployed.

21 Dedicated Spectrum is required! Spectrum is controlled by Industry Canada recent media attention on the $4.5B AWS auction of 105 MHz. Non-Existing/Deteriorating services outside urban areas. Lack of ubiquitous rural broadband tough business case for telco s Telco infrastructure is aging Service levels are deteriorating Utilities are force majeur entities, wireless carriers are not! Wireless Carrier's focused on Triple/Quad/??? Plays Focus is on high density urban markets Offer of tower/fibre utilization rejected! For large service territories propagation is key Sub 2GHz is ideal. 21

22 Electricity underpins our Digital Economy! Natural/Man made disasters impact electric grids which require quick restoration.economic impact! Electric Utilities Terrorism against electrical infrastructure must be prevented. Lack of electricity impedes firstresponders efforts. Police, Fire & Ambulance Gas and Water Utility CEA and UTCC submissions have highlighted the need for Critical Infrastructure requirements! Disaster Response 22

23 Industry Canada listened. Prior CEA submissions had set the stage Joint submission under UTCC by BC Hydro, AltaLink, Manitoba Hydro, Hydro Quebec and Hydro One requested specific spectrum Submissions focussed on new data centric Model developed based on utility functionality Identifiable applications Leveraging existing infrastructure Utilizing accepted RF techniques Model built on Hydro One experience base but validated by other Canadian, as well as American, ICT utility professionals 23
