1 11AM PST, July 23, 2015 Introduction to Environmental Demand Response with

2 What is environmental demand response (EDR)? How does EDR work? What are the short-term and long-term power grid benefits from using EDR? What are the applications? Introducing the JuiceBox Green 40! Stay tuned for Q&A session at the end. Agenda

3 Whenever an appliance turns on, a single power plant ramps up slightly to fuel it. But which power plant? It changes up to every 5 minutes. Therefore, the carbon footprint of an appliance depends on precisely when it runs. What’s fueling your devices?

4 WattTime analyzes the grid in real time. Our servers estimate which power plant you are using at any given time and place. Our API translates this for smart devices into a CO 2 intensity and a forecast. With EDR, devices can automatically reduce carbon footprints through timing. Real-time environmental demand response 3:05pm: Gas 567 gCO2/kWh 3:10pm: Gas 567 gCO2/kWh 3:15pm: Coal 956 gCO2/kWh 3:20pm: Gas 542 gCO2/kWh 3:25pm: Wind 0 gCO2/kWh 3:30pm: Gas 512 gCO2/kWh

5 How it Works Power grid operators coordinate live auctions every 5 mins to choose which power plants will run. WattTime monitors the grid in real-time and calculates environmental impacts. Connected EVSEs or other equipment fire up at clean moments. Users see verified CO2 footprint reduction in real time with no other change in operations.

6 Power plant pollution data from US EPA Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) or foreign equivalent Matched with real-time power market data from Independent System Operators (ISOs) or utilities through the Open-Access Same-Time Information System (OASIS) Algorithms developed by UC Berkeley PhD students Where do our data come from?

8 Most Electricity Timing is Flexible Most appliances consume energy in bursts of power. WattTime times these bursts to clean moments.

9 What are clean moments? The power grid offers a mix of both clean and dirty energy. By timing energy use to when cleaner power plants are active, or clean moments, we can reduce our carbon footprint.

10 Innovation – Change the Power Source “marginal power plant” the one you affect by using or conserving energy right here, right now determines your carbon footprint changes as often as every 5 minutes NuclearCoalEfficient GasInefficient Gas Po w er Produc t ion Normal Operation
