2019-2021 ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL (AOP) Draft: Under construction ► March 21, 2018
INTRODUCTION ► First step in planning process ► Assessment of Potential (AoP) estimates potential savings, which is one important input goal setting ► Presentation will discuss − AoP methodology − Summary of PA potential studies − Key take aways − Electric potential considerations, adjustments and costs − Gas potential considerations, adjustments, and costs www.ma-eeac.org 2019-2021 Assessment of Potential | 2
KEY TAKE AWAYS ► There is still potential in MA to support electric savings in excess of 3% ► There is still potential in MA to support robust programs ► Residential electric potential is lower than recent achievement due to lighting changes ► C&I electric opportunities remain strong ► No significant changes expected in gas potential for either residential or C&I ► Early expectations are that residential costs may increase somewhat, but PA Plan will provide best source of data for ongoing planning www.ma-eeac.org 2019-2021 Assessment of Potential | 3
CONSULTANT AOP APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY ► In previous planning cycles, Consultants relied on historical achievement as primary basis for AoP ► For 2019-2021, past not necessarily a strong predictor of the future − Changing lighting standards and market transformation − Changing baselines − New more varied and integrated opportunities ► In years past, no potential studies for all PAs ► Current AoP uses PA potential studies informed by trends as starting point ► Made adjustments based on additional analysis of key considerations and recent program experience www.ma-eeac.org 2019-2021 Assessment of Potential | 4
PA POTENTIAL STUDIES OVERVIEW ► Each PA hired contractors to complete potential studies ► Scopes of work for each study varied by PA ► Not all PA potential studies were completed by the same contractor ► PA contractors used different assumptions ► Most PA studies only included annual savings ► Estimate of active demand potential forthcoming (April) ► Contractors will rerun results with new avoided costs ► Consultant analysis required data extrapolation to compare results between studies www.ma-eeac.org 2019-2021 Assessment of Potential | 5

RESIDENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS: LIGHTING ► 2017 Res annual electric savings were 73% lighting ► PA potential studies show varying levels of declining lighting savings and NTG higher than agreed-to values going forward ► Eversource report estimates a 65% reduction compared to 2016 and a 45% reduction from 2019 to 2021 ► Noticeably steeper decline estimate for Eversource than National Grid Eversource National Grid Residential Lighting (Annual GWh) Yellow Bar = Lighting www.ma-eeac.org 2019-2021 Assessment of Potential | 15

RESIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES: FUEL SWITCHING ► PA Potential studies did not address fuel switching ► Unregulated fuel (oil and propane) to electric fuel conversions could yield increased electric usage, but modest MMBtu savings 2021 Ductless Heat Pump Fuel Switch Unregulated fuel participation rate 2.0% Number of Ductless units @ 1.5/household 18,643 MMBtu Fossil Fuel savings (MMBtu) 292,456 Increased Electric usage (MWh) 26,108 Net Annual MMBtu reduction 202,857 % of 2017 Electric MMBtu Savings 1.2% www.ma-eeac.org 2019-2021 Assessment of Potential | 17
RESIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES: PROGRAM REDESIGN ► Feb. 28 EEAC resolution supports provision of a new, integrated residential program design ► The PAs’ potential study scenarios don’t involve a significant redesign of the residential program − MAX achievable potential scenarios included generic reductions to market barriers, which translated to higher modeled participation − However, specific program changes were not modeled www.ma-eeac.org 2019-2021 Assessment of Potential | 18
