PSEG 2.O
Executive Summary 1.
Executive Summary Introduction 1.1
1.1 “PSEG Long Island believes that there remains untapped potential for targeted investments in demand side management. This includes increasing the use of energy efficiency, direct load control (“DLC”) demand response, and distributed energy resources (“DER”) such as distributed generation.” P.1-1
1.1 “Long Island is a summer peaking system, primarily driven by residential cooling load. The peak drives power generation capacity needs and system investment decisions. Improving the energy efficiency of end use equipment (e.g., lighting, air conditioners, chillers and other equipment) can be the most cost-effective energy resource and provide significant savings for customers.” P. 1-1
1.1 “This Utility 2.0 Plan proposes targeted and programmatic investments with a focus on improving energy efficiency and reducing peak load to address emerging capacity and system needs across Long Island and in load pockets, particularly for customer segments that are often underserved, such as hospitals, low-income multifamily housing, and municipalities.” P. 1-2
1.1 Broadening participation to underserved customer segments facing unique barriers to investing in potentially valuable energy efficient equipment and appliances. Despite the significant potential economic benefits from energy savings, some customers are unable to invest capital in new equipment. PSEG Long Island believes that reaching these customers with efficiency solutions is the next step in providing universal access to utility customers.” P.1-3
1.1 Essence of Utility 2.0 Plan:
“Accelerating and expanding investments …
Targeting opportunities to specific areas…
Broadening participation to underserved customer segments…”p.1-3
1.1 “Authority and New York leaders as they reconsider the responsibilities of investor-owned electric utilities and integrate DER into system operations and planning.”
P. 1-4
1.1 “We also believe that much can be done to develop a market of third party providers offering energy services and products to customers. Therefore, in parallel to our Utility 2.0 Plan and the ongoing REV proceeding, we will launch a process to work with leading energy service companies, demand side management companies and contractors, third party supply retailers, and other market participants to consider approaches to broaden customer energy options, incorporate cost-effective advanced technology, and further develop markets for innovative energy services on Long Island.” P.1-4

Notes:
1. These figures are illustrative, preliminary, and rounded. More detailed information on costs, benefits, and economic screening are provided in Appendix A.
2. PSEG Long Island proposes to finance up to $200M of the proposed Utility 2.0 Plan. This would not include the South Fork Improvements or Large Customer Advanced Metering Initiative. PSEG Long Island proposes that these two projects would be included in the capital budget.
3. South Fork will also include many other facets that are not included in the above table because they will be paid over many years from fuel and purchased power charges. Some examples include potential installation of solar PV resulting from Clean Solar Initiative II and the 280 MW Renewable RFP. Moreover, additional peaking and storage resources may be selected as a result of the Generation, Energy Storage, and Demand Response RFP. PSEG Long Island can be available as backstop developer to the extent that the competitive markets do not provide sufficient solar PV and battery resources.

Alarm.com for PSEG Brief:
Cloud Service May Yield Smartest Thermostat on the Planet
100k Alarm.com customers to have access to cloud-based (SaaS) ‘Smart Schedule’ service that learns activity patterns based on security sensors and adjusts thermostats automatically for energy efficiency.
“Smart Schedule” system. It learns the comings and goings of the family and adjusts the temperature automatically based on a household’s activity patterns.
http://www.cepro.com/images/uploads/alarmcom_smart_tstat_dashboard_large.jpg
True, there’s an automated thermostat at the premises but the real work is done by Alarm.com servers that process millions of events – tripping a motion sensor, opening a window, arming the security system, changing the temperature, turning on/off a light, locking/unlocking a door — from customers that subscribe to the company’s home security and automation service.
Did you arm your security system to AWAY? If you did so in the morning, the system will presume that the family has cleared the house for the day and will set back the thermostat to an energy-saving level. But if you armed the system in the afternoon, it will probably think you’re running a mid-day errand and keep the temperature as is.
Alarm.com builds on its home security and automation!
Alarm.com tracks these events and builds an energy management scheme around them … if the customer so desires.
The activity patterns and proposed thermostat adjustments appear as an overlay on the customer’s manually generated energy schedule. They can choose to accept or decline the automation for any given “time slice.”
Alison Slavin, co-founder and VP product management for Alarm.com, which was founded in 2000 and now boasts about 1 million monitored accounts.
For example, the location-aware EverSense thermostat from Allure Energy relies only on the location of residents, whether they’re inside the home or 100 miles away.
On the other hand, Alarm.com builds on its home security and automation ecosystem to truly understand household activity based on how and when users arm and disarm their security system, when they open and close doors, how they use their lights, and other indicators.
Alarm.com tracks these events and builds an energy management scheme around them … if the customer so desires.
The company only rolled out its energy management suite in 2010 and already has more than 100,000 monitored thermostats in the field.
Allure Energy For PSEG Brief
Announces Smart Energy Pilot with SMUD
Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD(TM)).
AUSTIN, Texas, May 18, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Allure Energy, Inc. is pleased to announce a smart energy pilot with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD(TM)).
The Allure Home Energy Management System, …the system works with an iPhone(TM) app, called Allure Mobile, that senses how far you are from home and adjusts your temperature accordingly. When you leave in the morning, the system automatically adjusts the temperature, so you don’t waste energy while you’re away. Likewise, it senses when you’re on your way back, returning the temperature to your perfect degree..
“SMUD seeks technologies that can provide maximum benefit to our customer-owners while providing community benefit,” says SMUD Project Manager Amber Steeves. “Reduced energy use has significant financial benefit for SMUD and environmental benefit for our community. Environmental stewardship is a core value of SMUD and we are here to provide energy solutions for our customers that should help them better manage their electricity usage and their bill without sacrificing comfort,” said Steeves.
Allure Energy, Inc. is a smart energy company based in Austin, Texas. ..As consumers and energy providers search for ways to reduce energy consumption without increasing costs, a balance must be maintained between privacy, security, lifestyle, comfort and convenience. Allure Energy is that solution.
About SMUD: As the nation’s sixth largest community-owned electric service provider, SMUD has been providing low-cost, reliable electricity for more than 65 years to Sacramento County (and a small portion of Placer County). SMUD is a recognized industry leader and award winner for its innovative energy efficiency programs, renewable power technologies, and for its sustainable solutions for a healthier environment. SMUD is the first large California utility to receive more than 20 percent of its energy from renewable resources. Pp
Since the new service is all cloud-based, it can be activated without a truck roll. The software upgrade will be available free of charge to Alarm.com customers who have a compatible thermostat and subscribe to the company’s basic two-way monitoring package.
Currently, Alarm.com works with home security systems from Interlogix (formerly GE Security/UTC) and 2Gig. So far, the only compatible thermostats happen to use Z-Wave wireless technology, but Alarm.com is hardware-agnostic and has been implemented in low volume with ZigBee and WiFi thermostats and other devices.
With a cloud-based architecture, anything is game. Next on the Alarm.com roadmap is location-aware or proximity-enabled home automation feature that can adjust lights, temperature and other home systems automatically based on learned activity patterns and the physical location of family members.
Using mobile-phone tracking data, Alarm.com can tell, for example, if the parents are heading to the lake for the weekend and activate an energy-saving temperature mode, maybe even adjust the lights to give the home a lived-in look.
To ease customers into the feature, the first implementation will be an opt-in security alert. If everyone has left the house in the morning and the security system isn’t armed, the system will ping the homeowners to ask if they want to arm it.
This and other Alarm.com features bring home the potential of the cloud. Already, the company integrates local weather via the Internet into its energy-management schemes. It also sends text and/or email messages in the case of a power outage.
Now that Alarm.com has reached a critical mass of customers, says Slavin, “not only can we alert you when your power goes out, but we can also tell you how many of your neighbors have lost power.”
