We continue to ask for feedback to keep improving the Energy System
GBU Region Functional Area Comment EPS North America Production Just realized all this was available. A quick tutorial and where to find you on the new "Alcoa web" would be awesome GRP Finance/Accounting I have no suggestions at this time. My current use is for Natural Gas forecasting, researching invoicing, etc. and it provides all of this and more. Global Spend and consumption reporting CORP - ACC/ATC EHS Greenhouse gas calculations based on energy consumption. Procurement invoice management I only use the system to review invoices no suggestons Executive We need training on how to use the system please GPP Engineering Keep up good work Maintenance All is good to me. More timely capturing of invoices. In a number of instances plant sites have invoices in-hand that don't show up in the system for 3-4 (or more) months. Energy, Engineering, Technology Continue to expand to all commodities (such as Warrick rolling electricity; Itapissuma rolling operations) Other Happy with current system. It meets my needs. Energy An integration of real time data, actual contracts and historic consumption data would be useful. I can generally find what I need and when I need help, it is because of my own lack of familiarity with the system. I would like clarification of vendors for natural gas distribution vs. vendors that supply gas. I pull numbers from the system but am sometimes unsure if they are for the same gas, just for different services (distribution or supply). TCS The energy system is not really the issue its the lack of data. There needs to be more detailed data on energy use to be useful in operation efficiency. There is not energy data at a sub-metered level and location data is not very useful. It is a good data repository for those who require such information. My main function is updating the consumption page. I have no issues with how the system performs. invoice management including: UID, Oracle OU, Oracle Vendor Number any help on rate negotiations would be welcome. Also could use any help on capital spending ideas and engineering support to drive down usage. If there was a way to download or copy multiple invoices that would be beneficial Energy, Engineering, Maintenance, Technology Information for all energy sources is currently not being entered for our location, it would be helpful if all the missing information were readily available.

Today’s Agenda Purpose of the system Energy Forecasting and Planning
Value proposition User Activity Statistics System modules and users Volume Updating Contract Search Energy Forecasting and Planning Energy Actual Reporting Invoice Search Contract Renewal Market Index Reports Questions
5
The Global Energy System creates a central repository of information
Assures timely, accurate and efficient: Documentation for Alcoa compliance: Contract documents Invoice images Procurement correspondence and approvals System of record for downstream GHG assurance Reporting Forecasts Commodity Exposure Historical Spend & Consumption Market Intelligence - pricing Variance reporting Purpose
6
Value Proposition of the Global Energy System can be broken into three major categories
Centralized One-stop shop for Energy info – contracts, usage, forecast, invoices, market intelligence Education tool for new employees that will deal with Energy Great global overview of Alcoa’s Energy footprint Tracks legal entities and payment terms Convenient & Timely Allows easy aggregation of spend and usage data by GBU, BU, region, country, etc. Users see day-prior forecasts for market-based energy spend Makes yearly planning a push button process Available 24/7/365 from any device Customized Simplifies compliance process by routing approvals and documentation through the system Built to accommodate other commodities and beta tested successfully Information is open for review but access can be restricted for confidential information Consistent with ABS (pull system)
7
User Activity Statistics give breakdown of system use
User activity statistics show who is using the system and what reports are being run most frequently
8
The Global Energy System is built around different modules
Usage Forecast Contract Builder Invoice Search Reporting – Forecasts/Actuals Contract Renewal System (CRS) Market Intelligence
9
The Global Energy System has a variety of different users
Plant Energy SPA’s Update exposure for plant production Plant Finance Creation of Energy Plan and tracking of Actuals BU Finance Compare Plan to Actual EHS Populate sustainability reports Energy Services Procurements, Invoicing, Risk Management, ASAT Energy Efficiency Identify savings opportunities
10
Energy System is an Alcoa Community System
Personnel from Plants , Energy , Legal, EHS, Finance, and Procurement Operations use this system Inputs Processes Outputs Energy Invoices & Data Energy Contracts and Parameters Indices Daily Close SPA list by plant Client-input usage Process Steps System user permissions Contract Modeling Spend calculation Documented Requisition Procurement Steps planned in system Reminders logic Automated approvals Invoice review & approval Documentation Reporting Payment file to RtP HW/TW by plant Forecast Spend / Units Actual Spend / Units Sustainability Reporting FERC 552 Reporting Data from 2007 to 2020 Transparent for users Process Reminders!
