Up to Now (MCI West)

•  $4.5B invested in “smart” infrastructure including utilities

•  $500M in energy efficiency projects •  90% of facilities equipped with smart meters •  24 MW of renewable generation •  $10M invested in microgrids •  Purchase of green power •  Developed enterprise and regional energy and

water strategies

Nearly all funded with DoN capital

Current State

•  24 MW of renewable generation…roughly 30 MW more potential

•  On track to meet intensity reduction mandates by 2015…but we’ve only tapped about 60% of what we could do

•  2 of 7 installations capable of islanding critical load •  Roughly 40% of facilities are smart capable…but not

“smart” •  90% of facilities on smart meters…but not connected •  New state-of-the-art water/wastewater systems…but

“SCADA” is 2 guys in a truck •  Future water supply to our installations is a concern

Great progress, but also great opportunity going forward

Our Energy Strategy

…but it’s all about the money.

Energy Ethos Adopting the right command

practices, planning, and end user behaviors

. . . And Water

•  Water –  Source Security (water rights, policy) –  Organization –  Conservation –  Monitoring and Control

Coming Soon Renewable Microgrids

Renewable Powered, Privatized

Coming Soon ZEV Infrastructure

On-Site Energy Generation Hydrogen Generation Through Electrolysis

Hydrogen is Compressed & Stored Fuel Cell Converts Hydrogen to Electricity

Solar Powered, Privatized, State Partnership

Coming Soon

•  Industrial Controls –  Network architecture –  Cyber security –  Capital and O&M costs

•  Privatization of Existing Microgrids and Renewable Infrastructure

•  Lincoln Housing PV Initiative 4,108 homes •  Landfill Gas Expansion, Miramar •  Continued use of ESPCs and UESCs •  Community partnerships?

–  Microgrids –  Wastewater management

Takeaways

11

•  Tremendous opportunities going forward -What are we missing?

•  3rd Party Financing is King –  Total cost needs to decrease

•  ICS is a Nine-Headed Hydra –  vital to success in every area –  Are there untapped opportunities for partnership?
