12 Perimeter of the smart metering program Linky is a fundamental brick to develop «Smart Grids» Linky meter is at the junction between the customers and the distribution network. Distribution network Inhome network Solar power generation Water heater Electric heating Eolic power generation Smart meter Storage Electric vehicle Recharging terminal for electric vehicle Domestic appliance 12

Reduced time of intervention in case of incident on the grid. Contribute to the Energy Transition 4.

13 Linky offers new services to all consumers Improve the daily services 1. Invoices based on actual consumption. 2. A majority of operations performed remotely in less than 24 hours without the presence of the customers (eg: automated meter readings, etc.). 3. Reduced time of intervention in case of incident on the grid. Contribute to the Energy Transition 4. Integration of new applications (electric vehicle, renewable energy,...) 5. A secure access to information to monitor and understand consumption. 6. Manage domestic appliance thanks to the 8 control signals. 7. A simple tool to enable the management of the peak load. 13

Linky contributes to optimizing the network management 1. Better fault identification and localization on low and medium voltage networks ensuring faster interventions. 2.

14 Linky contributes to optimizing the network management 1. Better fault identification and localization on low and medium voltage networks ensuring faster interventions. 2. Detailed monitoring of the power quality to better manage customer complaints and to provide a faster answer. 3. Increased capacity to act remotely on the networks, in particular to manage peak shaving programs. 4. New tools to forecast constraints on the network (balance between production and consumption) on local areas and diverse time scales. 5. Reinforced observation and control capabilities to maintain the proper voltage level and to optimize the location of renewable production sites / recharging terminal. 14

15 A secure, easy and free access to data consumption for the consumers Linky meter will help consumers to save energy, mainly by giving them easier access to information about their usage. Load Profile : a graphic representation of the consumer electric consumption Upon request, customers will have an access to their load profile. Customers can monitor their consumption (on monthly/weekly/daily/hourly basis), can compare their consumption with similar households and can be alerted in case of excessive consumption. According to the guidelines of the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL), load profile can not be less than 10 minutes. Consumer s data protection are guaranteed.
