Challenges to Traditional Electric Utility Business

• Increased use of Renewables to 33% by 2020; 50% or more later • Rooftop Solar PV impacts

• Overall energy supply

• Electric rate structure and revenues

• Distribution grid reliability, voltage stability, etc.

• Measures to block or stop natural gas fracking • Restricted development of high voltage transmission to renewable resources • Eliminate power plant once-through ocean cooling • Reduce power plant emissions; Green house gas, etc. • New regulations restricting use of coal fuel generation resources • Close nuclear generation resources • Microgrids reduce utility load • Control costs; limit rate increases • Improve reliability and power quality • Provide support for transportation electrification

BWP Background

ó BWP was created in 1913 ó Burbank home to major entertainment studios: Disney, NBC, Warner Brothers Studio ó 17 Square mile service area ó 52,000 electric customers: 45,000 R; 7,000 C&I ó 26,000 water meters ó 20 electric switching and substations ó 30+ 12 kV feeders ó 80+ 4.16 kV feeders (Multi year conversion program to 12kV) ó Typical peak electric demand: Summer = 280 Mw; Winter = 180 Mw; All time peak = 320 Mw ó Very good reliability: (2012 data) SAIFI = 0.16 outages per customer per year SAIDI = 16 minutes per customer per year

Sample Program Benefits

15

1. Call Center troubleshooting customer problems w/ AMI data

2. 34,107 Remote service connects/disconnects in FY2012/13; Reduced staffing and fleet costs, improved customer service

3. ONE Burbank Program promotes Economic Development while providing $3 M per year in revenues, essentially paying for modernization program.

4. Digital relays improve reliability; Reduced outage durations

5. AMI voltage data used for system planning, optimizing grid operations, resolving voltage problems

6. Water leak detection with AMI data.

Lessons Learned ó All assets in GIS early to support multiple applications ó Communications and networks are foundation: Plan to

support wide range of applications/systems: Fiber optics are future proof

ó Virtual Machine Servers and Enterprise Service Bus early to support system deployments

ó Leverage investments for new revenue opportunities: Fiber Optics

ó Plan AMI customer engagement and opt out early ó Provide staff or contract support for integration ó Benefits developed through system integration and

work process re engineering
