National Grid:
Second-largest Utility in the U.S.
 The largest distributor of Natural Gas in the northeast U.S.
 Approximately 3.4 million customers in New York, Massachusetts,
and Rhode Island
 Delivers electricity to approximately 3.3 million customers
 Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island
 Manages the electricity network on Long Island under an agreement with
the Long Island Power Authority
 Serving 1.1 million LIPA customers
 2011 – New US Operating Model
 Jurisdictional areas created state by state to be the local face of
National Grid
 Stronger connected community and customer relationships at a local
level

Energy Efficiency Programs
National Grid places a strong emphasis on helping our customers
manage their energy usage and take advantage of new sustainable
energy solutions
National Grid’s Energy Efficiency Programs and Incentives will:
 Identify energy savings opportunities and provide technical services
for the installation of premium energy efficient equipment to replace
aging, inefficient equipment
 Lower project Costs by up to 50% for installing energy saving
equipment

5. 5
Program Development
 Result of regulatory process - individual state’s social, regulatory
and policy decisions for both residential and commercial and
industrial customers
 Costs are covered through regulatory filings
Commission orders drive final program
design, incentive and funding levels
Regulatory approval is required for all
programs

6. 7
Customer Incentive Options…
CUSTOM
 Includes measures not covered
under the prescriptive incentives.
 Requires a technical analysis of
proposed energy measures and
associated energy savings to
determine incentive amount.
Incentives are generally the
lesser of:
 Up to 50% of the installed
cost which includes labor and
equipment
 A buy-down of equipment
costs equal to a six months or
a one-year payback
PRESCRIPTIVE
 Fixed incentives paid for
installation of specific,
predetermined energy efficiency
measures and equipment.
 Eligible equipment must
have specified energy
efficiency ratings
 Examples: Lighting,
Lighting Controls, Air
Compressors, EMS,
Heating and Insulation

What is Shareholder Incentive?
 Financial “rewards” for National Grid
 Money that is collected from ratepayers (through SBC
and Energy Efficiency)
 National Grid is “rewarded” financially…
 If we hit savings targets and stay with in budget that has
been agreed on with the regulators

11. 12
Shareholder Incentive - Purpose
 Motivate the successful delivery of energy efficiency
programs to achieve savings goals
 Align business interests with public policy interests
 Partially compensated company for lost sales revenue
 With revenue decoupling, this is less of a factor
 Focus is on components that policy-makers think are
needed to achieve state policy
 Maximize savings
 Cost-effectiveness
 Other elements to drive program design to serve
selected target populations, innovate, and/or be more
comprehensive
