  1. Meeting the challenge: Electrification and Climate Change • Symposium on Energy in the 21st Century • April 12, 2019, East Syracuse, NY • John Bruckner – National Grid N.Y. President

  2. National Grid’s U.S. business National Grid is one of the world’s largest investor owned utilities, with more than 7 million gas and electricity US customers and 22,000 employees in the U.S. and U.K. National Grid U.S. by the numbers • 3.4 million electric customers • Electricity transmission network of 8,800 miles of overhead line; 100 miles of underground cable, 380 transmission substations • 3.6 million gas customers • Gas network of 35,000 miles of gas distribution pipeline; 490 miles of gas transmission pipeline • 13,000 employees, ~ 8,000 in NY

  3. National Grid Northeast 80X50 Pathway Provide customers with affordable, reliable, resilient and sustainable energy in the future • Make smart and cost-efficient new energy solution investments • Be strategic in traditional asset replacement / investment • Meet gas safety and compliance standards • Employ efficient new gas technologies • Focus on storm hardening, resiliency Enable Distribution Energy Resources Large Scale Renewables and Expanded Transmission Gas Network Decarbonization

  4. Clean energy transition underway at National Grid Solar • We’ve received more requests in the past two years to connect solar to our system than new gas services • Recently invested $100M in Sunrun, the largest dedicated residential solar company in U.S. • Acquired Geronimo Energy, major renewable developer • National Grid 23MW solar farm in Calverton, Long Island selected for operation in 2022 Wind • We connected Deepwater Wind’s Block Island wind farm to grid - first offshore wind installation in the U.S. Electric Vehicles (EV) & Battery Storage • We own and have installed 165 EV charging stations, NY stations development program • 2 MW Battery storage projects in upstate NY - Pulaski • Two 5MW battery storage projects approved on LI; East Hampton in operation; Montauk in operation by end of year Biogas • Our Newtown Creek Renewable Gas Project is expected to inject enough renewable natural gas from organic waste to heat 5,200 residential homes

  5. Clifton Park Demand Reduction Potsdam Community Resilience Distributed System Platform Fruit Belt Neighborhood Solar Distributed Generation Interconnection Schenectady Smart City Long Island Geothermal REV Demonstration Projects

  6. The Traditional Grid –One Way Power Flow

  7. The Modern Grid – Two Way Power Flow • Technical Challenges • Balancing Load • System Stability • Capacity • Voltage • Protection Schemes • Control Schemes

  8. For All Stakeholders The Vision • Move from DER interconnection to DER integration Greater Access and Utilization of Clean Energy

  9. Applications Interconnected

  10. Advanced (Smart) Metering Infrastructure • Started in 2016 - built on a Collaborative Process that included participation of customers, environmental groups, state agencies, labor, energy policy institutes, low-income advocates and other stakeholders • Filed in November 2018, currently before PSC • 6 year rollout from approval • First two years – Design and full customer awareness plan • Years 2-6 – Meter Installation (1.7 million electric meters/640k gas modules) • Customer Protections • 1 year “hold harmless” for all customers/3 years for low-income

  11. Natural Gas – Need to serve remains Albany LoopNortheast Supply Enhancement Capital Region reinforcement Offshore pipeline links NJ to Rockaways Diversify Supply Increase supply to region Reduce constraints Robust Demand in NYC/LI displaces Oil Forestall moratorium Notified projects of pending growth limits Renewable Natural Gas:leading a collaborative effort to develop quality standards and stream line connections process; examining biomass and hydrogen blending; partnering with NYC on injecting water/food waste gas into system
