FROM THE DESK OF ROD LIGHTHIPE
Happy New Year and from all of us at ConectiSys, we hope all of our shareholders enjoyed the holiday season with your family and friends.
The Company is beginning 2007 with a great sense of optimism. After exploring many opportunities to diversify Company operations and assets during 2006, we successfully completed a strategic relationship in late November with Trimark Associates of Folsom, California. Trimark is a certified Meter Service Provider (MSP) and Meter Data Management Agent (MDMA) in California and various other States.
The Company’s relationship with Trimark completes a long term CNES goal and will enable us to provide a comprehensive all-in-one service to future customers including electric meter technology, installation, service, data management and customer billing. We are now a “one stop shop.”
That being said …Trimark also provides CNES a base of existing customers to which we can market out metering technology and engineering capabilities. This marketing relationship has already borne fruit. At this time, I can tell our shareholders that we are in final negotiations with a major commercial customer in California to install our wireless communications technology to read electric meters. We should be announcing this contract in the near future.
It is my sincere belief that this pending announcement will be followed by additional milestone events in 2007 as the entire CNES management team strives to increase shareholder value.

ADVANCED METERING PENETRATION AND THE REGULATORY CHALLENGES
By Jonathan Spencer Jones
Demand response has an important role to play in both the wholesale and retail electricity market in the US – but advanced meeting and the other technologies needed to support significant demand response deployment as yet have little market penetration.
These are among the main conclusions of the Federal Energy regulatory Commission’s (FERC) Staff Report “Assessment of Demand Response and Advanced Metering”, prepared as a requirement of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) (EPAct 2005) to review these and other demand response issues following the enactment of the Act.
“The fact that we were specifically asked by congress to review advanced metering is recognition of its importance in demand response”, says FERC economist David Kathan, who led the team that prepared the report. “And we also aimed to provide information that would be useful for discussions at the state level on advanced metering.
For the purpose of the study demand response was defined as: “Changes in electric usage by end-use customers from their normal consumption patterns in response to changes in the price of electricity over time, or use at time or incentive payments designed to induce lower electricity use at times of high wholesale market prices or when system reliability is jeopardized.”
This then allows demand response to be categorized into tow groups - incentive-based demand response., including direct load control, interruptible/curtailable rates, demand bidding/buyback programmes, emergency demand response programmes, capacity market programmes and ancillary services market programmes; and time-based rates, including time-of-use rates, critical peak pricing, and real time pricing.
“The study found that the penetration of AMI is 5.9% across the US…”
The study, which was based on a survey of 3,365 organizations across the US representing all aspect of its electricity industry, found that demand response is so fare not widespread, with only about 200 entities offering programmes to only 5% of the customer base. The most common programmes are direct load control, interruptible/curtailable programmes, and time-of-use rates.
These existing programmes provide a total potential demand response resource contribution estimated at about 37,500 MW, with the largest contributions in most regions from the wholesale and industrial sectors. This corresponds to a potential (relative to summer peak demand) between 3% to 7% in most regions, except in the Midwest (the North American Electric Reliability Councils Midwest Reliability Organization region) where it is up to 20%.
ADVANCED METERING PENETRATION
The study found that the penetration of advanced meting infrastructure (AMI) is 5.9% across the US, ranging from zero deployment to 11 states to the highest of almost 53% in Pennsylvania, somewhat less than earlier estimates that had put the penetration at closer to 10%.
“In context advanced meting is a system that records consumption at least hourly and retrieve these reads at least daily,” says Kathan.
However, when the figures are broken down they reveal some interesting facts. First there are regional variations, with the greatest penetration, 14% and above, in the NERC’s Reliability First Corporations and Southwest Power Pool regions (the Mid-Atlantic and portions of the Midwest and the Midsouth respectively).
All the other regions have lower than average penetration, as low as 1% in the Western Electricity Coordinating Council region.
