Ontario Smart Meter Initiative Ontario is one of 10 Canadian Provinces home to 13 million Canadians (nearly 40% of all Canadians) Territory 1.5 times larger than Texas Over 50% of Canada s Manufacturing Major Energy Crunch Closing down coal plants No major generation construction underway Interconnection limitations Severe energy shortages expected
Ontario s Conservation Initiative Includes Mandated deployment of Smart Meters by 2010 in every home and business 4.5 Million meters by 2010 Hourly Interval from every meter Data must be transmitted to Provincial MDMR by 5:00 AM Data available to every customer by 8:00 AM next day
Provincial Data Architecture 90 Utilities across the Province Smart Meter Entity (SME) Government Monthly TOU Hourly interval data buckets for from billing every meter returned to sent Utility by 5:00 AM daily Provincial MDMR Access to data by service providers, retailers, etc.
Operational Data Store Utilities are finding that the Provincial MDMR will not provide the valuable data access and management that can be leveraged Utilities are implementing their own MDMRs, referred to as Operational Data Sores, or ODS
Status -OntarioSmart Meter Initiative Over 2 million meters installed so far in the Province Toronto and Horizon collecting hourly interval data from over 600,000 points Leveraging data for operations posting the data on the web for customers nightly Let s hear from their experiences

Web Pilot Presents TOU data online for each customer- LIVE DEMO 21
Web Pilot Results 90% of pilot group found the web easy to use 80% would go to the Toronto Hydro website first before contacting the Call Center Virtually all customers are aware of Smart Meters, how they work and the ability to review electricity online Customers are more likely to visit the site to better understand their electricity use than to learn about conservation Almost two-thirds of customers visit the web site at least once a month 22
Customer Impact TOU- shift consumption to off peak times Customer understands consumption patterns Supports conservation programs 23
