Executive Summary
�Smart Grids will transform the Utilities business
�Utilities will be able to cut their costs by more than 30% whilst increasing revenues
�Smart Grids create more than € 1,000 of value for every meter
�Smart Grids can be implemented quickly, using existing meters
3
Smart Grids integrate AMM and BPL
Automated Meter Management(AMM)
Broadband Technologies(BPL)
Asset Monitoring and SCADA Systems(Solutions for the High and Medium Voltage networks)
Takes the intelligence of IT to any meterEnables any meter to be an IP node
Applies Advanced AnalyticsCuts costs by at least 33%
Can be self-financed
Enables broadband InternetServices and VOIP
using existing electrical wiresdelivering the benefits of
3 investments with the cost of 1

Most economies need to address three priorities
- Broadband universal access to sustain economic growth
- Access to Voice over Internet Protocol for everyone
- Electrical grid improvement

Smart Grids

Governments and Regulators are favouring the introduction of Smart Grids to achieve multiple benefits

Investments in Smart Grids are driven by four inevitable forces
Overall demand isincreasing
with the economy.Peaks are already
exceedingCapacity
Smart Grids are the only sensiblereplacement alternative
Generation Capacity islimited by environmental
andpolitical factors
Most Assets should have beenreplaced already a decade ago

In 5 years no Utility will dare managing the Network with tools of the ’50s
� Staying blind on Low Voltage operations?
� Relying on annual manual readings that tell you nothing of users dynamics?
� Ignoring where your assets are and which is their operating condition?
� Fixing your assets only after they broke with unmanageable customer damages?
� Investing according to historical patterns instead of real criticalusage?
� Having a fragmented, inconsistent and scarce data base of customer events and network events?
� Growing the top line selling the same services with rates continuosly reduced by the Regulator?
Would you envisage…..
9
The key issue for many utilities is which is the best path to arrive to the Smart Grid vision
� Invest in metering? In communication? In application? Which is the right sequence?
� Scale the investment from pilots to universal roll-outs? Which is the minimal size of economic investment in Smart Grids?
� Invest now or invest later?
� Which is the correct time-frame for the investment?
� Which generation of technology should I invest in? Can I move from 3G to 4G? Is there a 5G around the corner?

The investment in Smart Grids requires some upfront strategic decisions
� Smart Grid, AMM or just AMR?
� Universal coverage or selected customers?
� Single technology or multiple technologies?
� Single supplier or multiple suppliers?
� Intense deployment or diluted deployment?
� Compliance or Transformation?
25

Size matters and risks can be reduced in various steps, without sacrificing scale economies
� Technology test 1 – 5 K meters 2 months
� Benefit Assessment 30 – 50 K users 1 year
� Training 200 – 300 K users as above
� Transformation Universal 3 – 5 years
28
To size the possible Value Creation, a thorough business case should be prepared
� Analyses of current cost base
� Saving model adapted to the specific utility situation
� Broadband services strategy
� Investment strategy
� Technology and Partners selection
� Financial model
� Investment approval management

The most important part is the quantification of the major sources of value
