1. Electrical Energy Pricing Working Group Develop a price message format based upon the FIX protocol FIX Protocol Ltd. North American Energy Standards Board Kickoff Meeting September 1, 2009 2009-09-011Copyright (c) FIX Protocol Ltd.

2. Agenda Introduction Anti-trust guidance Adoption of agenda Review the priority action plan agreed upon during the NIST Smart Grid meeting and scope definition Definition of energy instruments sometimes referred to an electrical energy price message format or more appropriate a price for energy with terms and conditions We are not focused on a pricing model or parameters of a model This working group will not define or create business practices for the energy markets Overview of the FIX Protocol Ltd organization and the FIX Standard for those outside the financial industry Overview of the FIX Instrument Component Presentation of an initial concept Next steps/Other business Adjourn 2009-09-01Copyright (c) FIX Protocol Ltd.2

3. PAP03: Price Product Develop Common Specification for Price and Product Definition Price is more than a number. Price is a number associated with product characteristics. Already identified product characteristics include delivery schedule, quality, environmental characteristics, and regulatory characteristics. A common specification for price is a precursor to new market developments, to demand response, to distributed energy resources, to understanding meter information, and to every other hand-off between domains. Objectives: Develop a summary of product characteristics of interest to energy consumers. Develop summary of power reliability and quality characteristics that affect price and availability (supply side) and desirability (demand side). Develop and implement a plan to expedite harmonized standards development and adoption within the associated standards bodies. 2009-09-01Copyright (c) FIX Protocol Ltd.3

5. Think Message Format not Price Model We are not here to define how energy pricing is derived This is not how to calculate a price based upon a pricing model The purpose of a Message to convey Price is to provide sufficient information to the recipient so that they can understand WHAT is being priced not HOW it is being priced So the Price Message Format is about identifying those characteristics, values, and identifiers that make the product, in this case a quantity of electricity at a specified interval The Price Message Format will contain some of the same values needed to calculate a price – but only those that identify what is being priced The question to be asked when deciding what to include in the format- does the recipient need a particular value (or attribute) to understand what they are buying? 2009-09-01Copyright (c) FIX Protocol Ltd.5
