DR was born from CEC’s plan to combat blackouts • California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Art Rosenfeld led a call for “Demand Relief” programs • OBMC – optional binding mandatory curtailment • EPRI, Silicon Valley, Cisco, HP, IBM, others participated to show that they can shave off 10MW out of 100MW • How? • Lighting, Air conditioning, Refrigeration, others 6 Confidential and Proprietary Information of Ohmconnect, Inc.

IoT Device Timing 1% of time: bids clear into CAISO When wholesale energy prices spike, Ohmconnect automatically turns down non-critical IoT loads in homes. These reductions can occur in increments as short as 15, so personal comfort is not an issue. 99% of time: no bidding devices use electricity as normal 13 13 13 Confidential and Proprietary Information of Ohmconnect, Inc.

What do Customers Think? “ Ohmconnect's innovation is combining the micro-information from my personal energy use in my home with the macro-information of energy production and distribution to make better decisions and usage for society, the environment and for me personally. It doesn't get better than that. ” - Stephen Schwerdweger, Palo Alto CA "Getting paid to reduce my environmental footprint? Count me in." - Adam Foster, Concord CA "The easiest home energy analysis tool out there. I especially like the way it can automatically reduce my energy consumption during periods of high usage (or cost) and in most cases I don't even notice. If everyone started using it, we would be able to stop using expensive and dirty "peaker" plants .” - John Overstreet, Los Altos, CA 18 Confidential and Proprietary Information of Ohmconnect, Inc.
