2 PRESENTATION TOPICS MA DPU Electric Grid Modernization» Questions for Discussion» Itron» Business Case» End-to-End System» Discussion

3 QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION MA DPU Electric Grid Modernization Question #1 Can we effectively implement time based rates from an AMR platform? Question #2 Given the prevalence of AMR in MA, what are the incremental benefits of going to AMI and what are the costs? Question #3 How should the DPU evaluate AMI in the context of broader grid modernization?
