Grants - AWARD SUMMARY


FIRSTENERGY SERVICE COMPANY


This Department of Energy (DOE) Smart Grid Investment Grant (SGIG) award is funding 50% of the FirstEnergy Service Company's Smart Grid Modernization Initiative (SGMI) project. The SGMI project will evaluate technologies intended to improve the reliability and operation of the Company's electric distribution system in three states. The SGMI project is classified as an integrated cross-cutting system because it aims to add smart grid functions to multiple portions of FirstEnergy's electric system. SGMI involves test projects in suburban communities east of Cleveland served by the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company (CEI); the York, Pennsylvania area served by Metropolitan Edison Company (Met-Ed), and a number of communities throughout the Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) service area. The technologies being deployed are as follows: Distribution automation and volt/VAR control are being deployed for the CEI (Ohio) and Met-Ed (Pennsylvania) test projects. For the Met-Ed (Pennsylvania) and JCP&L (New Jersey) test projects, an integrated distributed energy resource control platform for direct load control will enable customer participation in demand reduction. A Consumer Behavior Study involving a dynamic pricing program is also being deployed as part of the CEI (Ohio) test project to enable consumer participation in demand reduction and energy efficiency efforts.

As a result, the Met-Ed IDER program ceased opertions until a cost recovery mechanism is reinstated. Of the 21,369 customers enrolled, approximately 20% cancelled. The program achieved approximately 155 MW-HR load reduction for summer 2012. JCP&L (NJ) status: Approximately 25,000 customers enrolled of which the Smart Grid Investment Grant portion approximates 80% of the total. About 22% of the customers have cancelled participation since inception in 2009. On 6/21/2012, the program successfully completed its one-hour PJM test requirement of approximately 24MW for 2012.
