Using energy wisely is no secret Using energy wisely is no secret. It's simply a matter of awareness, knowledge and planning. –Dominion Virginia Power’s Website Virginia Power also maintains that by being informed and improving efficiency, energy consumption can be reduced by 15% Studies have proven that energy savings of 15% and more occur when people have information that allows them to make informed decisions on how and when to use power. -Energy Cite Wednesday, June 05, 2019

Marketing Strategy Market to Utilities Market to Public Works Increased Competitiveness More Capable of Providing Energy on Demand During Peak Usage Times Capable of Passing the Cost on to the Consumer Market to Public Works Environmentally Friendly Political Issue More Capable of Providing Water During Drought Times Without Adding Additional Pipelines Estimated Charge: $0.75 per registered user per month

Estimated Return on Investment Wednesday, June 05, 2019

Contractual Aspects Infrastructure Installation Power Companies To help install the network and technological infrastructure (RHCE, CCNA, or equivalent) Power Companies Natural Gas Companies Oil Providers Public Works Departments (per city) AMR Companies Agreements to expand and implement the technology (during Phase 3 and out years) Advanced Technologies Ramar (ATR) ECM Systems Cannon Technologies Wednesday, June 05, 2019

Risks Lack of Utility Company/ Public Works Cooperation Probability: Fair Consequence: Severe Solution: To develop systems that can function independent from the utilities meters. The main draw is the cost of the system will go up as the client will have to pay for the equipment and installation of the monitoring devices. Consumers may loose interest and not use the service after the novelty wears off Probability: Slight Consequence: Slight Work Around: RMS will continually be developed to better provide for the consumers needs Information overload – Customers may be overwhelmed with the myriad of data provided Probability: Fair Consequence: Moderate Solution: RMS will format the data in a way that isn’t overwhelming and easy to understand and apply. Competition Consequence: Moderate Solution: RMS will offer a wide variety of systems to encompass a larger customer base, specifically the home market where costs have generally made these types of systems uncommon. Non-Approval from Standards Organizations Solution: Use as many existing devices/equipment that are already in compliance with the various standards. Wednesday, June 05, 2019
