Identify, Rank and Address system hardening needs in areas most susceptible to wildfire risk. Phase I – Top 10 Feeders in both Performance and Wildfire Criticality addressed (CY/2021) Improve Substation Reliability Evaluate substation equipment operation and address legacy equipment needs. Project starts with Fiskville substation, upgrading electro- mechanical relays to microprocessor based equipment. Phase I - Fiskville Substation Upgrades (Q1/2021) Improve Underground Network Reliability Starts with enabling greater Visibility to our downtown network through the integration of our network model into our Advanced Distribution Management System Phase I - Network Modeled in ADMS – (Q1/2021) Transmission System of the Future As part of the 2030 generation plan, Austin Energy is commissioning a Transmission system study that will investigate ways to achieve our goals set forth in the plan while compensating for the loss of generation plants. Phase I - Development of evaluation criteria (Q1/2021) 16 Small Cell Deployment • “Swap & Drop” continues toward goal to replace streetlight poles with “small cell friendly” streetlight poles that accommodate Small Cell and 5G antennae and equipment • The AE Standards group has accepted final engineered drawings for a standard small cell friendly streetlight pole foundation. Utilizing this new foundation will decrease street and side walk disruptions, decrease construction timelines and minimize truck rolls for civil inspections. • Pole Attachment Services is currently developing a standard Swap & Drop pole for the downtown area that is compatible with the City’s Great Street streetlight pole design. • In August 2020, the first streetlight pole replacement was completed by Verizon using a CommScope replacement pole. • To date, Austin Energy has reviewed and approved applications to install small cell infrastructure to the following Austin Energy infrastructure: • Distribution poles: 218 poles • Streetlight poles: 166 poles 17 Confidential & Proprietary ©2018 Austin Energy.
