Innovation ENERGY STAR partner of the year– ENERGY STAR is the DOE/EPA sponsored program tohelp consumers identify products with the highestenergy and environmental performance– GE won the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year award inhousehold appliances for 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007,2008, and 2009.

Trends in the Utility Industry Demand is outpacing supply in certain locations and at peak times Legislation ( CO2 regulation) and costs are stopping new fossil/ nuclearpower plant construction – renewable requirements being implemented Smart meters (AMI) are being deployed in significant numbers “Smart Grid” being rolled out and supported by DOE, regulators Pricing legislation (Tiered and TOU) will drive consumer behavior

FERC – National Assessment of DemandResponse PotentialJune 2009 Report“ . it is the residential class that represents most untapped potential fordemand response“While residential customers provide only roughly 17 percent of today’s demandresponse potential, in the AP (Anticipated Participation) scenario they provide over 45percent of the potential impacts. This is illustrated in Figure 3. “

LG&E / GE Pilot ProgramSurvey Overview Gen1 product shedding load as expected Customers believe that they are saving money Customer behaviors are being modified”it appears like I saved 10- 20 last month - some of that may be dueto the energy mgmt system””I like the fact they interact with the LG&E meter to automaticallymake adjustments based upon the current rate period. That providesenergy savings for me that I would have a difficult time duplicatingotherwise.”
