To become smart grid leaders, Ontario needs to effect a transformation in a risk-averse environment. To do so, the province needs not only to advance its electricity infrastructure but also embrace a long-term and global vision. This breakfast panel brings together diverse energy-sector stakeholders, including utilities, key industry players, government authorities, regulatory bodies and innovators. Does an opportunity exist for Ontario utilities that implement intelligent operations to leverage that expertise into other markets? Can synergy between innovation and the electricity sector be created to support these practices? How much are we open to change? http://www.marsdd.com/events/details/ontario-smart-grid-opportunities-electrical-utility-sector/

! What
is

• Though

will

it
is
the

that
will
drive

! Why
are
smart

important
to

• Smart

technologies
align
with
the
goals
of
utilities
to
improve
reliability,
safety,
and
reduce
costs
! Where
is
the
investment?
• Although
later
stage
private
investment
and
M&A
continue
to
streamline
the
market,
government
funding
will
remain
imperative
for
adoption
! How
do
regulations
incentivize
or
constrain
the
market?
• While
regulations
indirectly
and
directly
drive
adoption,
antiquated
regulatory
frameworks
are
slow
to
adapt
new
infrastructure
! How
is
Ontario
doing?
• Ontario
is
equipped
with
the
technology
and
infrastructure
to
rapidly
expand
its
smart
grid
capabilities,
but
regulatory
guidance
will
need
to
remain
flexible
and

20. 6 reasons why smart grid is important to
Canadians & the economy

21. A Smart Grid is essential to Canadian
economic prosperity.
Over 60% of our GDP now comes from industries and services
that run on electricity; in 1950, the figure was only 20%. Since
1980, over 85% of energy growth has been supplied by electricity.
Manhattan Institute:The Million-Volt Answer to Oil

22. Our infrastructure is aging – as we
upgrade it we should be looking
forward.

23. Conservation is the cheapest way to
accommodate load growth.

24. A clean economy requires renewable
energy, which in turn, requires a smart
grid.

25. Outages cost money – smart grid can
improve reliability.
Power outages and interruptions cost Americans at least $150
billion each year - about $500 for every man, woman and child.
DOE,The Smart Grid: an Introduction

26. Smart grid sets the foundation for
future technology – electric vehicles,
etc.

27. Key Areas of Competitive Advantage
1. Time of Use Rates
2. Sustainable Remote Communities
3. Renewable Integration on Distribution System

28. Time of Use Rates

• Population communities with a total population
of 200,000 – mostly on diesel.
• Population Density Rank 230th
Opportunity for Canada to reduce its own cost of powering these communities while
solving the problems and selling to the developing world.

30. Sustainable Remote Power Projects
Hydrogen Assisted Renewable Power Wind-Diesel Storage
Community Energy Management Hydrokinetic Turbine

31. Coming Generation Gap
Significant resource gap that will need to be
filled over the coming 10 years

32. Distributed Renewable Generation
Voltage Regulation
Energy Storage
Energy Management
Market Innovation
Protections & Control
Ontario has the some of the highest penetration of renewable
generation on its distribution system (up to 10MW/connection)
