Priorities for the Next Decade Utilities have customers in mind; say top priority is improving service reliability Smart Grid Priorities for the Next 10 Years* #1 Improving service reliability and operational efficiency (45%) #2 Implementing smart metering (41%) #3 Developing demand response and energy efficiency programs (37%) #4 Updating physical infrastructure (23%) #5 Offering real time pricing options (17%) #6 Increasing your renewable portfolio (15%) #7 Optimizing existing business processes (14%) U.S. utilities are more likely to focus on developing demand response and energy efficiency programs; Canadian utilities are more likely to focus on updating their physical infrastructure Reliability is the goal for us, but smart grid is an objective to reach that goal. *Executives asked to select their top two priorities 2010 Oracle Corporation All Rights Reserved Take Away: Reliability and Efficiency Trump All

Cost Concerns While smart grid is coming, executives grapple with transition costs Top Concerns*: Consumer reactions to rate increases 43.00% Cost to comply with environmental mandates 38.00% Rate recovery of the cost of improving grid infrastructure 30.00% Changing customer expectations/the need for better communication 24.00% Rate caps and regulatory disallowances 21.00% Universal Concerns: Utilities of all sizes and at all stages of smart grid adoption struggle with these issues [We need] clear and consistent work on the business case. Take Away: Greater Emphasis on Measuring and Communicating Benefits Required *Executives asked to select the two most troublesome issues that keep them up at night 2010 Oracle Corporation All Rights Reserved

Survey Results: Getting There Together Utility executives say collaboration will drive smart grid success Top Recommendations*: #1: Sharing best practices with peers (80%) #2: Developing an information architecture strategy (76%) #3: Developing smart grid industry standards (71%) #4: Publishing results of pilot projects and internal research (63%) Educate Consumers It will be a learning process for everyone, including the utility companies and their employees. Take Away: Share Lessons Learned; Build a Technology Foundation *Executives asked to select all that apply 2010 Oracle Corporation All Rights Reserved
