Proposed Amendment to the Montreal Protocol

NA and European Commitment Is Strong and Article 5 Countries Engaging Well – Hoping for Agreement by End of Year
• 27th meeting of the parties to the Montreal Protocol in Dubai, UAE (Nov. 1–5, 2015) – Agreement reached to work on an amendment that would phase down HFCs – Negotiations underway on details – Best guess is target ~20% range achieved over a number of years and steps
• Article 5 (developing) and high ambient countries could get different schedule and limits – Currently phasing out of HCFC-22 and asked to phase down HFCs … and their economies are growing – Alternative refrigerants for high ambient conditions are not yet fully understood
• Three meetings are scheduled for this year – 4–8 April, 18–23 July, 10–14 Oct. – Is final deal likely in last meeting?

Impact of Demand and Regulations
17
Confidential and Proprietary
• With the focus on climate change, new rules and requirements are likely to be imposed on all energy production (all fuels) and customer usage, which may cause significant cost increases to all.
• Although natural gas has less carbon emissions than other fuels, the combination of increased demand and new rules which are likely to be imposed may drive natural gas costs much higher than today’s pricing (impacting costs to all customers).
• With the expectation that environmental permits will reflect customer carbon footprint, end users may have to adjust their energy usage and processes to limit any on-site emissions.
Regulation — Impacts by Market
18
• There are basically two types of markets: – Bid markets (RTO/ISO) — Focused on the value to all market participants (FERC controlled) – Vertically integrated markets — Focused on the customer while balancing the needs of other
participants (state controlled)
• The value proposition to the customer could be significantly different in each market – Bid markets allow customers to bid their demand response (DSM) into the market – State-controlled, vertically integrated markets provide customers greater input into EE/DSM program
offerings and more protection with the ability to smooth market shifts
Confidential and Proprietary
Evolving Markets
19
• NY REV — turning the distribution system into an independent market, similar to the ISO/RTO market
• California — similar to NY REV, but being developed piecemeal through various commission dockets
• Illinois — state efforts to force all parties to do grid modernization and utilize strategic microgrids
