SHAPING THE FUTURE OF SMART GRID 22.03. 2013

SMART GRID DEVELOPMENT IN NEXT STEP CITY • We are striving for to attract the world’s leading developers of smart grid infrastructure technologies • SE and its partners are currently building the intelligent power system of tomorrow – the smart grid • Next Step City is the R&D hub at the new SE HQ. This facility houses leading smart grid developers and provides direct access to the SE grid infrastructure.

THE OPPORTUNITY… • Denmark’s renewable energy ambition in Energy Strategy 2050 presents sizeable challenges, and demands significant advances when it comes to creating the energy system of the future • We are already the world’s largest investor in smart grid technology, and we currently have the best smart grid infrastructure in Europe • We have established several ongoing living lab projects, which provide us with valuable experience and big data

AGENDA • SMART GRID: WHY DENMARK?

• SMART GRID: WHY SE? • LIVING LAB PROJECTS • SUMMARY AND NEXT STEPS

• Denmark still strives to maintain its position as global leader in the wind industry • The EU is set to implement energy policies in Europe based on the Danish energy efficiency model

DENMARK ALREADY HOLDS A STRONG INTERNATIONAL POSITION The first steps have been made towards giving the industry a unique development potential

According to report JRC Reference Report “Smart grid projects in europe”

SMART GRID WHY SE? THE SE SUPPLY AREA IS UNIQUE IN THE SMART GRID CONTEXT

WORLD-CLASS POWER GRID NETWORK AND THE MOST RELIABLE POWER SUPPLY SE power grid area is the most modern supply area in Denmark

Third biggest supply area in Denmark

• 7,000 km2 • 10,000 transformers, 20,000 km grid and ~120.000 cable boxes • All 261,000 customers have remotely-read smart meters – SE collects 25 million consumption data every day • All 60 kV stations (169 units) are fiber-connected to a digital backbone

Most reliable power supply

WORLD-CLASS FIBER BROADBAND AND THE MOST FIBER-INTENSIVE REGION IN EUROPE* Customers has access to the fastest internet in Europe • Local 10Gbps standard connections – with an option of 100Gbps (B2C segment) • Customized SLA (with 99,955 – 99,9995% uptime levels) – 24/7/365 support • Optical Fiber Core n*10Gbps • Cashing servers implemented for 2 key customers enable fast local access to traffic – securing optimal use of international capacity • Network Core site (TAR) located within 0.6 miles of the data center • Latency of 1-2 ms in SE network • Newly acquired cable partner Stofa has a nationwide data infrastructure for their +400,000 CATV customers * Source http://www.evm.dk

SMART GRID LIVING LAB PROJECTS VALUABLE EXPERIENCE FROM FULL-SCALE PROJECTS

CO2 NEUTRAL SØNDERBORG BY 2029

UNIQUE FULL-SCALE SYSTEM INTEGRATION = GLOBALE OPPORTUNITIES • Since 2007, CO emissions have 2

been reduced by 18% and more than 800 green jobs have been created • Winner of the EU prize for sustainable energy solutions • Included in Clinton’s Climate Positive Development List • Experiences from this project have been sought out by urban renewal projects in large Chinese cities

OTHER LIVING LAB PROJECTS SE is a central partner in several smart grid R&D projects. These include both technical and behavioral projects focusing on user involvement and real-life testing

Energy storage Energy storage based on water in underground membranes

Next Step Village Energy-producing housing

Next Step Citizen Welfare techonologies that improves life throgh fiberbroadband services

Micro combined heat & power Decentralized production with fuel cells in private households

PHD on consumer behaviour Analysis of consumer behaviour related to energy consumption

SMART GRID TAKE PART IN NEXT STEP…

THERE IS SIGNIFICANT LOCAL PRODUCTION IN THE SE DISTRIBUTION NET – ESPECIALLY WIND • The energy sources in the future power system will fluctuate greatly • Wind power is to be the primary energy source by 2050, accompanied by solar power, heat pumps, biomass and waste heat • There is already a significant amount of local wind energy production in the SE distribution net

Division of locally-installed capacity 2012 (%) 6% (63 MW)

Total: 1,064 MW

36% (381 MW)

Onshore wind CHP

58% (620 MW)

Solar PV

Local production units 10,400 774

• We expect at least 80-100 new wind MW to be installed over the next five years

WORKING TOWARDS 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY WILL REQUIRE INTELLIGENT DATA MANAGEMENT • The challenge is to balance production and availability with demand (installed capacity wind: 1,063 MW vs. max. demand 670 MW)

• Therefore, it is crucial to analyze big data and develop new methods for grid management • This will help to establish industry recommendations and provide a unique opportunity to gain valuable experience.

NEXT STEP CITY PROVIDES WORLD-CLASS FACILITIES TO SMART GRID DEVELOPERS World-class facilities include: • Close partnerships with leading Danish universities SDU, AAU and DTU • Located directly on top of the fiber backbone and power grid

• Full-scale test laboratory with 256,000 connected consumers on the power grid • Technology related to to CO2-neutral buildings and renewable energy • Heliport with daily flights to Billund Airport • Conference center, showroom, kitchen and catering facilities

WHO SOLVES THE NEXT STEP CHALLENGE? Today, the base load can be significantly increased, but it must be monitored in order to avoid short-term and future peak issues Consumption vs. net capacity, 2013 (examples) Percentage of capacity usage

The vast majority of our transformers are in the “safety zone” with a lot of spare capacity. Therefore, free usage of our existing assets is a priority, as hot-spots (peak issues) are extremely rare

SE is developing innovative marketdriven value propositions and business models to increase the base load

The combination of an increase in base load and more peak issues necessitates close monitoring of the development in capacity usage in order to react at the tipping point – from asset sweating to peak shaving
