1 How customers can benefit from new metering technologies A business case in Bilbao-Spain Barcelona, September 20, 2005 Metering Europe

2 Table of contents Iberdrola at a glance AMR and customer segmentation Scope of project Architecture Metering subsystem Communication subsystem Data acquisition subsystem Enhancements of the AMM project Status of the project and future deployments Lessons learned and conclusions 2

3 About Iberdrola An electricity leader in Spain and in the world Iberian leader in generation, distribution and supply of electricity and gas World leader in wind power energy Market Capitalization: Largest Company in Spain, sixth in Europe and among the top ten utilities worldwide Among the three largest European companies with highest shareholders total return 3

4 Iberdrola in the world Countries Operating Data Belgium France Brazil Bolivia Installed Capacity Q1 05 Hydroelectric Combined Cycles 25,891 MW 9,083 MW 5,684 MW Germany Great Britain Chile Guatemala Nuclear Renewable Oil 3,335 MW 3,261 MW 2,888 MW Greece Mexico Coal 1,247 MW Italy Portugal Venezuela Cogeneration Production 2004 Energy Supplied MW 84,373 GWh 117,092 GWh Spain Customers 17.4MM Switzerland Employees 15,700 4

5 Iberdrola in Europe A leading European generator and supplier CO 2 Emissions per kwh produced Generation 6 th largest European company by installed capacity and one of the cleanest generators Supply 4 th largest European company by number of customers and a reference in efficiency: ,476 connections/employee vs. European average of 738 c/e RWE END UNF Enel EON...

6 Iberdrola in Spain Installed Capacity Q1 2005: 22,602 MW Renewable Cap. Q1 05: 3,261 MW Production 2004: Renewable Pr. 2004: 68,422 GWh 5,413 GWh Energy Supplied 2004: 92,184 GWh Distribution area Nuclear Power Plants Coal & Oil Power Plants Hydro Power Plants Combined Cycles Customers: 9.6 MM Employees: 8,546 Wind Farms 6

7 AMR: customer segmentation in Spain in the number of * type criteria data meter comm. 1,000 Type 1 HV and energy > 5 GWh 10,000 Type 2 HV and power > 450 kw 100,000 Type 3 rest of HV 500,000 Type 4 LV and power > 15 kwh N registers monthly readings 25,000,000 Type 5 Rest of LV 1 register bimonthly readings * estimation of total number of customers in Spain 7

8 AMR: opex & capex Large customers OPEX CAPEX Electricity (MWh in ) Telecom (fee in ) Dumb meter (NO comms.) Smart meter (WITH comms.) telecom exp. <<< kwh not relevant Residential customers OPEX CAPEX Electricity (kwh in ) Telecom (fee + traffic in ) Dumb meter (NO comms.) Smart meter (WITH comms.) telecom exp. ~ kwh significant 8

9 Scope of the project GOAL: To deploy advanced meters together with new PLC techniques for improving metering management and network distribution automation SITE: Modern housing project in Bilbao SIZE: 1,100 meters and 8 transforming centers TECHNOLOGIES APPLIED: Advanced multifunction digital meters with PLC A band communication PARTNER: 9

10 Architecture metering subsystem communication subsystem data acquisition subsystem 10

11 Metering subsystem Digital A+R class 1 single and three-phase meters TOU and load profile functionality Built-in PLC modem Built-in automatic programmable breaker 11

12 Communication subsystem Transforming center concentrator TCC Automatic identification and registration of new installed meter Meter polling for reading data acquisition Meter time synchronization Inductive coupling Link between low and medium voltage carriers Substation data manager Data concentrator TCC management Sends meter data to billing center Sends control data to SCADA 12

13 Set of SW applications and tools to: transmit data over the powerlines reading and programming the concentrators and the data manager interface with the existing billing systems Data acquisition subsystem 13

14 Enhancement of the AMM project DISTRIBUTION AUTOMATION Fault location and service restoration functionality TC CONTROL Status of breakers Transformer continuous monitoring To be implemented in

15 Status of the project Meters, concentrators, couplings in service System in full operation since July

16 Future deployments plans Select more sites during 2006 with different environments: Urban areas with brand new housing Urban downtown areas Rural areas Increase number of meters to various thousand units in 2006 Selective implementation of distribution automation and TC monitoring functionality 16

17 Lessons learned Remote reading is not enough! Standards are strongly recommended! Real possibilities for Load Control and Demand Side Management policies What are the benefits for the customer? 17

18 Conclusions Technology is stable and reliable Lack of Standards Analysis of Field results technical savings compared to traditional meter reading Service continuity Regulatory issues metering activity costs must be covered customers to receive price signals ownership One of the residential buildings involved in the AMM project 18
