Quality of Services(Availability, frequency, Voltage Level, etc)

Sustainable DevelopmentEnvironmental: (Controlling Emissions, Energy Conservation/

Efficiency Service Model, Losses,)

Economical: (Balance between rapid growth and utilization)

Benchmarking vs. International Sound Practices

Introducing Innovative practices in Utilities and Energy Managemente.g. Smart Grid/ Distributed generation; Communication

Services, Batteries, Electric cars infrastructure, Green or CleanTechnologies incl. recycling (CCS) and renewable energy (solar,

wind, biomass, bio-fuels, etc)

FullyLeveraging & adapting Support Services across the Value Chain(Capital Budgeting; IT/GIS Service Model; Contracts Management & Financial

Controls; Cross-Sector Initiatives Coordination and Alignment; Integrated

Planning & Development across the Utility Sector)

While Utility focus areas evolve with the business imperatives and priorities


10/27

e.g. Carbon Controls and Storage (CCS)

(A) Compliance with

Regulations to reduceCO2 Emissions

e.g. Smart Grid;

Distribution Automation, Tariff Controls;

Peak shaving; Extend asset life (Rehabilitation);

O&M optimization;

(Reducing cost of CAPEX)

(B) Conservation Program (s)

e.g. Urban Planning,;

Development & Conditioning(Municipalities, LocalGovernment, Developers);

Environmental restrictions

(C) Dependency &Alignment Challengeswith external sectorsactivities

e.g. Price history (Negotiation facilitation) ;

Profile per asset and contractor;

Projects Prioritization;

Generation/ Capacity Demand

(D) Projects (Asset) Valuation& Capitalization

e.g. Reasonable RegulatoryStatistical Information;

Response to InformationRequests;

Asset Data Management;

Asset Insurance coverage;

Asset Disposal Information

(E) Others

Knowledge-based and innovative management practices are key for addressingpresent utility business issues, challenges and opportunities

e.g. 1-2%Annual CAPEXimprovement
