2 Agenda What is AMI/AMR? Alignment with Utility Strategic Goals AMR/AMI at Austin Energy Current and future state of Austin Energy s AMI Systems Q&A 2

3 AMI and the Smart Utility It s more than just meter reading. Advanced Metering Infrastructure Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is an integrated system of smart meters, communications networks, and data management systems that enables two-way communication between utilities and customers

5 Austin Energy - Strategic Goals Financial Health Customer Collaboration Business Excellence Employee Engagement Grid Modernization Asset Management DER Integration T&D Automation Leverage and Optimize AMI Environment 5

6 History of AMI at Austin Energy 2001 AE signs 15yr agreement with L+G (nee Schlumberger, Hunt Technologies, Cellnet) to provide AMR services Installation of ~120k 1-way communicating meters begins AE expands advanced metering services agreement, includes entire service territory, 400k+ meters Introduction of AMI, blending 1-way and 2-way communicating networks AE Procures MDMS from Ecologic Analytics, since acquired by L+G 2013 AE signs new 10yr contract with L+G; New agreement incents, not penalizes, utility for data acquisition and growth AE implements Foundational Elements of an Advanced Metering Infrastructure system: Initiates Migration to full two-way communicating network Implements Phase I of Meter Data Management System Complete Advanced Head End System (HES) Migration (Command Center); Stand down USC Commercial, Residential Meter Platform Refresh projects commence (5-7yrs) Other AMI Projects Outage, Voltage alerts to ADMS ; Remote Service Switching, HAN; Totalization, Fractional Metering; HES, MDMS upgrades 6

7 It Starts with the Meter Over 465,000 Electric Meters in the AE Service Territory...and growing ~60k C&I meters ~405k Residential Meters 233k Simple Two-Way Meters 172k Two-Way Meters with IDR, Service Disconnect capability 7

22 Command Center Enhancements Enhanced Contractual SLAs Faster Network Response - Future state - Layer-Based Routing vs Geo-Based Routing Increased Availability of Meter Diagnostics and Reporting Diagnostics: USC 4 delivered; Command Center 112 delivered, over 600 events available, based upon availability in the meter Reporting Semi-Customizable; Robust Meter-Centric Reporting vs Network Centric Reporting It s not what the network hears, it s what the meter registers Ability Collect Interval Data via all Rate, Metering Options Homogenized Meter programming is the norm across the industry True Two-way Comm Platform Ties in to all Future AMI Projects ADMS, Pre-Pay, Home Area Networking/Demand Response, Customer Portal, Conservation Voltage Reduction etc. Industry Standard Interfaces (CIM, Multispeak) - Plug n Play Less customization of host, bolt on offerings Less Expensive Metering Options Integrated network module = reduced cost Full Support for 2-Way Water AMI (if desired) 23

23 AE Infrastructure & Systems Through 2020 AMR 1-Way Meters AMI Simple 2-Way Meters AMI Advanced 2- Way Meters 23% 6% % % 71% Blended 1-Way and 2-Way Meter population 75% AMR 1-way replaced with AMI Complex 2-way; Through 2020 Funding to Replace all AMI Simple 2-way with AMI Complex 2-way 24
