Customer Education Cost-benefit calculations in support of initiatives Performance measures 7 7
Board Staff Straw Man Network Optimization and Long term View of Investments Expectations DG and more complex loads likely to require feeder segmentation and more switching Which lead to greater visibility and control (and, perhaps) automation in control rooms This improved visibility will assist IESO dispatch Also controlled VAR support Operational efficiencies may be expected due to more and better data to support maintenance Enhanced outage management Co-ordination will strengthen applications 8 8
Board Staff Straw Man - Innovation Discussion points How to evaluate investments that incorporate innovation while balancing risks? Expectations Where applicable, utilities should consider innovation in planning investments Options Continue to maintain existing deferral accounts for pilots and demonstrations Include demonstrations and pilots in capital plans 9 9
