ZBB • Welcome Sate of Pennsylvania: • PUC Commissioners • PC Bureau Administrators • and others • Thank you! Commissioner Gardner for helping to arrange this meeting. • Agenda: • Inform • What and Why • Implications • Opportunities and impact ZBB ENERGY CORPORATION ZBB ENERGY CORPORATION
ZBB …Someday, the electricity grid will operate with the equivalent of a giant hard drive. But in the short term, grid storage will look more like a PC's cache or RAM, able to serve up small bursts of power to keep things from crashing. Technology optimists say that wide-scale energy storage will change the face of the transmission grid and make wind and solar power more compelling economically. In this scenario, utilities store electricity made from renewable sources or produced during off-peak times. Then, when demand for electricity peaks in the middle of the day, they could draw from the stored-up charge. … June 27, 2008 4:00 AM PDT ZBB ENERGY CORPORATION ZBB ENERGY CORPORATION
ZBB “Storage devices such as batteries can be located anywhere on the grid (and can be moved) to support the dual needs of integrating intermittent renewables and mitigating congestion.” Dr. Edward Cazalet Board of Governors, Cal-ISO (2004-2007) 12 October, 2007 ZBB ENERGY CORPORATION ZBB ENERGY CORPORATION

ZBB • New Jersey – • Mandate for Battery Storage to get grid under control during Peak Demand • Utilities required to provide distributed battery storage • “Proposals were submitted in a timely manner by PSE&G, JCP&L, ACE and RECO. These • proposals contained more than a dozen separate programs, ranging from residential air • conditioning cycling to a system for electricity storage…” ZBB ENERGY CORPORATION
ZBB Keith Frame, Director CCEF ‘…until the policy changes are made and the utilities can make Energy Storage part of the rate base, we cannot make progress on energy storage…’ Conversation with Group Six, April 2009 ZBB ENERGY CORPORATION
ZBB PUC Commissioners: Maine has the most wind power available of any New England State, and the Gulf of Maine holds the potential for 3 GW of clean wind generated power. We are under tremendous pressure to add transmissions lines that would have no benefit to the people of Maine, but energy storage could ease this need by leveling the delivery of power and stabilize delivery to small municipalities… We will forward this information to the Governor's office for his consideration. Conversation with Group Six, April 2009 ZBB ENERGY CORPORATION
ZBB Pennsylvania RPS • PA: On December 16, 2004, Governor Edward Rendell signed into law Pennsylvania’s Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard, requiring that qualified power sources provide 18.5 percent of Pennsylvania’s electricity by 2020. There are two tiers of qualified sources that may be used to meet the standard. Tier 1 sources must make up 8 percent of the portfolio, and include wind, solar, coalmine methane, small hydropower, geothermal, and biomass. Solar sources must provide 0.5 percent of generation by 2020. Tier 2 sources make up the remaining 10 percent of the portfolio, and include waste coal, demand side management, large hydropower, municipal solid waste, and coal integrated gasification combined cycle. • How should the Commonwealth make use of energy storage, ‘smart grid’ and self-generation programs to ensure the success of the RPS and other energy conservation programs? • Modification of PPA’s to include cost coverage for storage and load management investments • Incentives to ensure best deployment of alternative generation investments • Benchmarking against other national leaders in the area; CA, NJ, others ZBB ENERGY CORPORATION
