Each sub committee has approximately 5-6 LDCs. Most of the groups began meeting in Q4 of 2014 and will continue to do so in 2015 until program
development is complete. Most groups are planning to have re-designed programs in market by Q4 2015. Hydro One is also looking into possibilities for a
revised Appliance Retirement Program in collaboration with a number of other like-minded LDCs. Hydro One is also working with LDCs, such as Thunder Bay
Hydro, Algoma Hydro, and Bluewater Hydro, through the Aboriginal Working Group to collaborate on efforts towards energy conservation programs for First
Nations communities.
Gas Collaboration
Description of how the LDC(s) will collaborate with other gas utility
programs delivered in service area (if applicable). If collaboration will
not occur, description of why it will not occur.
Hydro One has held preliminary discussions with Natural Gas Companies to propose exploring possibilities to develop new programs aimed at both electricity
and gas savings. The Aboriginal Working Group, in which Hydro One participates, is exploring ways to coordinate our energy conservation programs for First
Nations communities with Union Gas. The Residential Working Group has also been in communication with gas utilities with regard to coordinating and
integrating low income programs (especially weatherization measures) as well as potentially collaborating on Residential New Construction projects. Further
meetings are currently planned in the first quarter of 2015 to start discussions and cultivate formal plans for their development.
CDM Contribution to Regional Planning
Description of how the CDM Plan considers the electricity needs and
investments identified in other plans or planned initiatives, completed
or underway within the LDC(s)' service area or region. This may
included Integrated Regional Resource Plans or Municipal Community
Energy Plans.
As per the CDM Requirement Guidelines for Electricity Distributers released by the Government on December 19, 2014, Hydro One’s distribution planning will
incorporate its CDM plans at the outset of the planning process. Thus, distribution investments to increase the system capacity will only be implemented as the
regional solution where CDM is not a viable option. Hydro One is exploring a variety of program offerings that provide customer and electricity system benefits
through energy efficiency, behavioural changes, load displacement, load shifting, demand response, and energy storage. Hydro One is willing to collaborate with
local electricity utilities and gas utilities to develop programs and implement projects that will be cost-effective and benefit the greater electricity system. Over the
course of the 2015-2020 Conservation Framework, Hydro One’s Smart Grid initiative will be deploying a number of CDM pilots that will simultaneously help
customers better manage their electricity bills and enable Hydro One to better control demand for operational and economic purposes. Through consumer
research and load analytics, the Smart Grid initiative has identified two pilot streams, targeting central air conditioning and domestic water heating. Hydro One is
piloting a Bring Your Own Thermostat initiative, enabling customers to participate in conservation and demand response (DR) by installing their preferred smart
thermostat from amongst a list of pre-qualified models. Hydro One will also be piloting a Smart Switch for electric water heaters, which will allow customers to
schedule their water heaters to avoid peak-time electricity usage and increase Hydro One’s demand response capacity. These initiatives will increase Hydro
One’s DR capacity by maximizing opportunities for customers to participate in CDM programs that help to alleviate local system constraints.
Hydro One has provided details of these initiatives and their funding as part of its 2015-2019 rate submission, which has recently been approved by the Ontario
Energy Board.
Hydro One will be taking part in many active and upcoming Integrated Regional Resource Planning (IRRP) processes. Regions with plans currently underway
include: Burlington to Nanticoke, Greater Ottawa, GTA East, GTA North, GTA West, Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge-Guelph, Metro Toronto, Northwest Ontario,
Windsor-Essex, East Lake Superior, London Area, Peterborough to Kingston, South Georgian Bay/Muskoka, and Sudbury Algoma. Upcoming IRRP processes
are planned for the Chatham/Lambton/Sarnia, Greater Bruce/Huron, Niagara, North of Moosonee, North/East of Sudbury, Renfrew, and St. Lawrence regions.
Energy and demand savings from the programs outlined in our CDM Plan as well as those discussed above will all be taken into account in these processes.
Hydro One is committed to supporting the implementation of the IRRP through delivery of this CDM Plan. Hydro One CDM staff supporting the development and
implementation of the IRRPs include Hydro One's Manager of Business Integration & Conservation and Manager of Business Development Support.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTATION
Programs
Opportunity to provide any additional information on assumptions used
for budgets and/or savings for approved 2015-2020 province-wide
programs
Hydro One's CDM Plan was prepared using program savings assumptions based on the best information available at the time of making this submission.
Where Hydro One's historical savings differ from the IESO provincial archetypes or existing measures it the CE Tool, HONI developed its own historical
archetypes. Hydro One Archetypes were created for the Audit Funding, Energy Manager and PSUI programs. Program participation is based on historical levels
with consideration of changes to marketing, deliver channels, and market saturation. One LDC working groups and IESO agree on the final program
enhancements and re-designs, Hydro One may revise its Plan savings assumptions to more accurately reflect the expected performance of these programs.
For more information on
assumptions made, please see the attached substantiation document.
Hydro One does not have approved Local and/or Regional Programs or Pilot Programs included in this Plan at this point.

Programs
CDM programs are expected to transition from 2011-2014 Framework extension to the 2015-2020 Framework at various times throughout 2015, as indicated in
this Plan. To account for the extention of 2011-2014 programs into 2015 and savings associated with these programs before they transition to the 2015-2020
framework several assumptions were made in the the Cost Effectiveness evaluations. 2015 PAB budgets were pro-rated based on the Program Start Date. To
account for incentives that would be paid for under the 2011-2014 framework budget, the incentive values in 2015 were reduced by the % of savings expected
to occur prior to the transition date. Most programs assumed that the % of savings and spending expected to occur under each framework model was
proportional to the % of time in 2015 before and after the program start date. Exceptions to this include Retrofit, where 60% of spending in 2015 in expected to
be paid from 2015-2020 framework due to projects being backloaded in 2015 as well as BMG projects, where all 2015 in-service BMG projects were initiated
prior to the program start date. This allows modelling of all the savings expeceted to be attributed to our target as well as the appropriate total spending in 2015
from our 2015-2020 CDM budget.
At this time, Hydro One is not submitting any programs under Pay-for-Performance (P4P).
