ANCA ON-RAMP Working Group 3: The Grid
What Will This Panel Discuss? ● “Grid constraints” that may impede increased electric vehicle usage and potential solutions ● The Lake Placid municipal electric utility perspective ● Local requirements and opportunities within broader regulatory context ● Opportunities to support the 2023 Games’ transportation goals 2
Panelists ● Kimball Daby Electric Department Superintendent, Village of Lake Placid ● Matthew Cloud Senior Distribution Engineer, National Grid ● France Lampron Director, Transportation Electrification, Hydro-Québec ● Zeryai Hagos Deputy Director, Office of Markets and Innovation, New York State Department of Public Service
Examples of “Grid Constraints”? ● Local distribution infrastructure limitations, especially for installation of direct current fast chargers (DCFCs) ● Utility tariff provisions regarding standby and buyback charges, for example ● Interconnection rules, approvals and timeframes ● Predictability and clarity of state and utility policy and funding mechanisms ● Ability of vehicles to sell electricity back into the grid for value 4
The Current & Future Playing Fields ● July 16, 2020 “Make Ready” Order from the PSC authorized $700m for a range of EV charging infrastructure programs ● Recently expanded New York Power Authority to fund and develop EV infrastructure ● Retail rate design proceedings at the PSC still to come ● Lake Placid municipal electric cooperative rules and rates ● Forthcoming Department of Environmental Conservation rulemaking, under the CLCPA, regarding economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions ● Potential funding from Transportation Climate Initiative ● Progress in other States and countries that can serve as a model and/or lessons learned 5

Clean Transportation The Adirondack ON-RAMP The Grid: Capacity & Challenges October 1 st , 2020
EV Charging Challenges to the Grid Early coordination with the utility is key to reduce costs • Grid infrastructure is built to accommodate peak power demand • EV charging can coincide with existing peak periods, necessitating additional infrastructure investment if not properly managed • National Grid can work in partnership with the Customer to optimally locate/operate charging infrastructure to reduce costs • Active management in charging Source: National Grid System Data Portal patterns/times can reduce demand charges and infrastructure spending | The Grid: Capacity & Challenges October 1 st 2020 National Grid 2
National Grid EV Programs EV Charging Make Ready EV Fleet Assessment Residential Managed Program Phase 2 Services Charging Program* • Incentive covers up to 50, 90 • Offered to light, medium and • Offers fixed monthly pricing or 100% of total make ready heavy-duty vehicle fleet for residential L2 EV charging costs for eligible L2 and customers during off-peak periods DCFC sites • Includes site feasibility and • $20 per month up to 225kWh • Both Utility and Customer bill impact analysis of off-peak at-home charging side infrastructure costs are • Review of managed charging • $25 per month up to 325kWh eligible options to limit bill impacts of off-peak at-home charging • Excludes cost for chargers The Grid: Capacity & Challenges October 1 st 2020 National Grid 3 *National Grid’s Residential Managed Charging Program is pending approval as part of the Company’s Rate Case filing
EV Charging in the Region Grid infrastructure reflects the geography of the Adirondack North Country • Current area load levels do not raise • Fewer circuits and substations capacity concerns compared to more densely populated areas • Modification or addition of new infrastructure to support large load • Limited ties between circuits growth is challenging • National Grid’s Transmission network • Early engagement with National Grid to supports the Lake Placid and Tupper reduce impacts to infrastructure is key to Lake Municipal Electric Utilities removing barriers National Grid | [Insert document title] | [Insert date] 4

Clean Transportation Summit: Adirondack ON-RAMP Hydro-Québec and e-mobility October 1 st , 2020
Highlights Small beginnings in 2012 – 4 partners, 35 charging stations, 2 cities Today Canada’s largest public charging network – 3,000 charging stations, 500 partners Massive DCFC deployment financed through the rate base Creation of a joint venture to support the growth of the network Important new revenue stream 2 Hydro-Québec
Number of Electric Vehicles in Quebec As of July 31 95 % of Québec EV owners are members of the Electric Circuit 1 million of charging sessions expected in 2020 (720,000 in 2019) The presence of public charging stations is one of the main factors influencing EV adoption Objective: 100 000 EVs in 2020 1 million in 2030 3 Hydro-Québec
Business Models L2 DCFCs Before June 2018 Since June 2018 Now Acquisition and installation Acquisition and installation cost cost 6 K$ 75 K$ Paid by partners Paid 50-50% between Hydro-Québec and the partner 0 % investment 50 % investment Rate base financing 4 Hydro-Québec
Project Approved by the Regulator 108 M$ 1,580 35 M$ INVESTMENT 50 kW DCFCs OPERATING EXPENSES through the rate base by 2027 throughout Québec (excluding cost of electricity supply) 5 Hydro-Québec
Analysis of Traffic Data 6 6
Test Sites to Prepare Future 160 kW 350 kW 125 kW 7
Lessons learned – Reliability and responsiveness are key – A DCFC that doesn’t work is worse than no DCFC at all Do not – Plan for monitoring, repair and maintenance budgets and resources understimate – Customer service needs to be impeccable the efforts – 24/7 support line – Use of mobile app to report problems to operate a – Advanced functionnalities charging network – Response on social medias – Dynamic Web site – Interoperability is a must 8 Hydro-Québec
Thank you!

Regulatory Landscape for Electric Vehicle Charging in New York October 1, 2020
2 Regulatory History of EV Charging in NY • April 2018: Proceeding Regarding EVSE&I directed Staff to identify and address immediate and long-term actions to support ZEV growth, specifically directed Staff to host a technical conference and expeditiously issue a whitepaper – 18-E-0138 • Nov. 2018: Residential EV Tariff Order EV-specific TOU rates filed with traditional residential customer charge • Feb 2019: DCFC Program Order established six-year per-plug incentive program • Jan 2020: EV Make-Ready White Paper proposal provides up 90% support to cover the costs of making a sites ready for public EV charging EV Make-Ready Program Adopted by Commission July 16, 2020
3 NYS Clean Energy Goals Impacting Transportation Zero Emissions Vehicles MOU CLCPA GHG Targets Note: CO2e calculations do not fully reflect methodology required by CLCPA Million metric tons of CO2 • 40% GHG ↓ by 2030… 85% by 2050 •850,000 EVs on NY roads by 2025 (~8%) • 35-40% programming to benefit DAC •~50,000 EVs today (<1%) 1.8 - 2.2 million ZEVs needed to meet 2030 GHG↓ goal Source: NYSERDA, DPS, EIA
4 New York DCFC Charging Landscape • Tesla makes up the majority of publicly available DCFC stations in NY • Range anxiety is #1 concern cited by potential EV buyers in the US Source: Atlas EV Hub, Size of Circle Based on # of Ports Significant increase in stations needed to support EV growth targets
5 EV Make-Ready Program Adopted by Commission July 16, 2020 • $701 million budget; $206 million dedicated to disadvantaged communities • Budget sized to incentivize enough EV charging stations support 850,000 ZEVs by 2025 • 53,773 level 2 and 1,500 direct current fast chargers • Program is active now; Midpoint review begins Oct 2022; program ends Dec 31, 2025 • Fleet Assessment Service created to aide fleet owners with site feasibility and rate analysis • $85 million dedicated to prize competitions in disadvantaged communities Primary focus of the program is light duty vehicles
