SAG Meeting

March 18, 2014

Delivering on the Promise of AMI ComEd is focusing on an initiative, framed around the concepts described in the AMI

Plan Chapter 3 – Customer Applications, to emphasize the benefits and value customers receive from the AMI deployment

ComEd believes its position is to establish itself as a leader in setting the vision of an AMI-enabled customer and clearly articulate these messages to its customers

ComEd believes its role will vary by each product or service and aligned to one of these five strategies:

1. Enable – third parties develop new applications (products/services) that run on ComEd platform. Enable in a variety of ways – e.g. providing data, or technology (test bed)

2. Partner – with developers to demonstrate their applications3. Facilitate – introduce products and services to our customers. Example: provide an online marketplace

on our web page for customer devices, services and web apps4. Promote – get the message out about the kinds of things customers are doing (BOMA, Nest)5. Deliver – ComEd designs and delivers projects (i.e. PTS, demand response, energy efficiency)

Establish “Co-Creation” process leveraging “Enablement” workshops with stakeholders, key industry participants, and customers to accelerate the advancement of value creation• Example: Sponsored Innovation Competitions

Delivering on the Promise of AMI ComEd is delivering approximately 15 products and services in 2013 – 2014 that

directly deliver value to customers derived from the AMI Implementation. Example products and services include:• Peak Time Savings• Green Button Download• My Energy Tools integrated into ComEd.com / High Usage Alerts• Nest Thermostat Energy Efficiency / Demand Response pilot• Smart Grid Home Showcase• RMUD Phase 1- PEV/TOU Interval Data• HAN Initiative

services that ComEd can help bring to the market either through partnerships, promotions, or direct delivery that will have a meaningful impact across the various ComEd customer segments
