3 Focus for this morning Will talk about four things 1 Who/what is Enel? Large, innovative utility embracing and trying to lead the transitions we re talking about today. 2 Grid operators and utilities in many states have been utilizing demand response, energy storage, and other advances to adapt to a rapidly changing mix without sacrificing reliability. Yes! I will share with you a few examples of Enel s work and thinking. 3 Can changes in baseload energy resources be effectively managed with new technologies and management practices? Yes, but we have to be smart and it will increasingly require changes in system and market design. 4 How will markets incorporate and value these new approaches? Probably reactively and through a diverse set of models. We have to value flexible resources on the generation and demand side. 17/08/2017 Adapting to change Jack Thirolf, Enel Green Power North America, Inc. 3

21 Challenges and choices for policymakers What policy chances sync with the customer demand and technologies? Value flexibility of supply and flexibility of demand at the wholesale and retail levels. - Wholesale: debate between pure energy vs. capacity + energy markets vs. separate markets for variable power and dispatchable power. - Retail: give customers choices for greater participation and control. Invest in the physical grid at the transmission and distribution levels, including increased bandwidth. - Enable the creation, aggregation, storage, analysis, sharing and protection of data to facilitate the flexible system. - Expand and integrate physical markets to decrease overall variability. 17/08/2017 Adapting to change Jack Thirolf, Enel Green Power North America, Inc. 21
