  4. Load Management 2012What is it? • The Load Management Standard Offer Program (EnergyShare) is a performance-based demand response program that offers financial incentives for curtailing electric load when notified during the summer peak period. • EnergyShare • Load Management • Demand Response • Curtailment Program

  5. Program Eligibility CenterPoint Energy metered customers meeting kW thresholds: • Non-residential Distribution level customers • Governmental agencies (all levels) • Educational facilities (all levels) • Other not-for-profit agencies (all levels) • Industrial non-transmission class ___________________ *(Transmission customer sites are NOT eligible unless in the government, education or non-profit category)

  6. Why should you participate? • To provide assistance during an ERCOT emergency situation. (EEA2A) • The test curtailment is an excellent way to prepare for a hurricane or disaster. • The Sponsor will be compensated. • A good way to exercise your equipment under load. • It is a good thing to do. • Help David make his goal!

  7. Wow, What a Year! • Aug 27 was hottest day in city history = 109 • Avg daily high temps: • June = 97.4 • Aug = 102 • Sept =95.5 • Consecutive 100 degree days = 8 (Aug 26- Sept 2) • Driest summer of all time = 5.6 inch

  8. EnergyShare Program History

  9. 2011 Results • Proposed 78.3 MW • 17 Sponsors • 181 Sites (meters) • 6/9 Test 89.2 MW • 8/4 EEA2B 57.1 MW • 8/24 Test 67.2 MW • Average 71.2 MW

  10. 2011 Results - Participants

  11. 2012 Program Basics • A Standard Offer Program • Standard Offer = First Come First Served • Pays incentives ($40/kw curtailed & verified ) to participating Project Sponsors • 30-minute curtailment notice • Application deadlines and rules will be posted at: http://www.centerpointefficiency.com/

  12. 2012 Incentive Budget • $4,500,000 • 112.5 MW

  13. Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) • Federal electric reliability councils, including ERCOT, are shown in the map below. EnergyShare benefits not only the local area but also helps to lend mutual support to others served by ERCOT

  14. The Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) • An orderly plan to reduce load during a shortage of generation • Procedures for reducing System Demand in emergency situations • Provides for maximum possible continuity of service while maintaining the integrity of the ERCOT System • Reduces the chance of cascading outages • Outlines when and how demand (load) can be curtailed

  15. Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) Communications Matrix

  16. Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) Process in the ERCOT Protocols EEA procedure in the ERCOT Protocols defined by levels 1 Maintain 2,300 MW of on-line reserves Maintain 1,750 MW of on-line reserves. Interrupt loads providing Responsive Reserve Service. 2A Interrupt loads providing Emergency Interruptible Load Service (EILS). 2B Maintain System frequency at or above 59.8 Hz and instruct TSPs and DSPs to shed firm load in rotating blocks. 3

  17. Program Eligibility • CenterPoint Energy electric customers and 3rd Party entities representing distribution level or other governmental, educational, and non-profit customers. • Project sponsors must have a normal aggregate peak demand of 750 kW or more, and with each participating site averaging 250 kW peaks and capable of curtailing at least 100 kW. • Project Site(s) must be equipped with a CenterPoint Energy Interval Data Recorder (IDR) meter.

  18. How do I know if I am a CenterPoint Energy customer? • 22 digit ESID number on electric bill • ESID 1008901003455779101009 • The 1st seven digits identify the utility • 1008901 = CenterPoint Energy • If you are not sure, call David.
