Oil for Heating and Transportation Maine Per Capita Use is High A 2017 Perspective Presented by Jamie Py October 2017

Who/What is MEMA? 300 energy distribution companies statewide (non-utility) 1000 Convenience Stores Over 8,000+ employees Excellent pay and benefits State of the art educational facility and programs MTEC Health, Workers Comp, Dental, Life, Disability Insurance programs for members Providing energy products to Maine people that Maine people want: Affordably, Efficiently, Reliably 4
Billions Investment in Maine? People good paying jobs Oil and Propane Delivery Trucks = $125,000 each Transports (tankers) = $250,000 each Service Van = $100,000 each, equipped Storage facilities = $100,000 - $100,000,000 each Property taxes annual Multi-millions Excise taxes annual Millions to municipalities 5
What has Changed in 50 years? Or for That Matter since 2011? Legacy Policies from 70 s oil embargos to occasional price spikes 2011 Maine legislature goals. Massive Changes to energy markets since then. The US Shale market was just developing. Relative costs of energy to other everyday goods and services Why Look at downsides only without measuring the good Greenhouse gas emissions. Relative parity with other Fuels. CO2, methane. CAFÉ standards Do more to reduce and will not be repealed. 6
Maine Energy Markets are Mature Demand is Falling Energy demand in Maine has not grown in nearly 20 years. Demand for all forms of energy in all sectors is either stable or falling. Demand for all petroleum products has been falling since 2005 with the exception of LPG. Electricity demand in all sectors is stable or falling. Residential energy demand in Maine has fallen sharply since 2004 with all of the decline coming from heating oil. Demand for other residential energy has not grown since 2006. 7
Oil = scalable, affordable, efficient, If oil didn t exist, we would have to invent it. No other substance comes close when it comes to scale, energy density, ease of handling and flexibility. Those properties explain why oil provides more energy to the global economy than any other fuel. (It accounts for about 33 percent, compared with coal at 30 percent, natural gas at 24 percent and hydro at 7 percent. http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2014-05-07/oil-s-brightfuture?utm_source=taboola&utm_medium=referral 8
The other oil equation Without oil, life span was 40 years. Without oil, no air travel, major food transportation, agriculture, medical advances, Computers, cities, clothes, electric Without oil, we could not control our living environment. http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/140 750/robert-d-blackwill-and-meghan-losullivan/americas-energy-edge 9
Maine per capita use of petroleum High. Why? Cold Unconcentrated living NY state is #1. Why? http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/140 750/robert-d-blackwill-and-meghan-losullivan/americas-energy-edge 10
US Energy Revolution We ve Gotten Off Foreign Oil US Crude Production up 70% since 2010 (No one predicted this) By 2025 US production will eclipse Saudi Arabia 2 million gals per day petroleum exports from US Natural gas export infrastructure catching up to production. NG will become world priced. Chenierre on line 4 others being built *2011 energy goals built on this price fact Reduced volatility due to US influence in oil and natural gas markers Source: CME 11
US Energy Revolution Part 2 - How will this effect Price? The U.S. Geological Survey says a deposit in West Texas is the largest continuous oil and gas deposit ever discovered in the United States. On Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2016 the USGS announced that an area known as the Wolfcamp shale contains 20 billion barrels of oil and 16 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. That is nearly three times more petroleum than the agency found in North Dakota's Bakken shale in 2013. 12
US Crude Oil Supply: Moving Toward Independence? 8,000 7,500 US crude supply including Canada and Mexico has been rising rapidly and is expected to continue increasing at the recent pace for several years. The combination of rising oil sands production in Canada, gas and oil from shale across North America, renewable fuels and biofuels could cause the region to be energy self-sufficient by 2020. 7,000 Thousands of bpd 6,500 6,000 5,500 5,000 4,500 Imports excluding Canada and Mexico US production only 4,000 Jan-2000 Jun-2000 Nov-2000 Apr-2001 Sep-2001 Feb-2002 Jul-2002 Dec-2002 May-2003 Oct-2003 Mar-2004 Aug-2004 Jan-2005 Jun-2005 Nov-2005 Apr-2006 Sep-2006 Feb-2007 Jul-2007 Dec-2007 May-2008 Oct-2008 Mar-2009 Aug-2009 Jan-2010 Jun-2010 Nov-2010 Apr-2011 Sep-2011 Feb-2012 Jul-2012 Dec-2012 Source: EIA 13

Dollars per gallon Heating Oil: Residential minus Spot Prices: the Margin Received by the Maine Industry has not Changed in Over a Decade 4.00 3.50 3.00 The average gross margin received by the oil heat industry has not increased in over a decade despite: - a significant reduction in the number of oil-heated homes causing higher per unit fixed costs - changes in heating oil quality - significant new investments made on the part of the industry for training of technician 2.50 2.00 The heating oil industry -- like most unregulated commodity-based markets -- reduces per unit costs due to competitive forces. Industry consolidation and rationalization removes high-cost market participants and rewards low-cost players. 1.50 1.00 0.50 Average increase 2000-2012 = 0.1% Average inflation rate = 2.4% Residential Price NYMEX Price Residential minus NYMEX - 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Source: EIA est 19 Source: EIA

Average heating oil usage in Maine 30 years ago 1300 gallons per household Today generally 750 gallons EXAMPLE: 3,000 square foot house family of 6 w/4 children ages 8-20. heavy sports (showers). Replaced 7 year old boiler with new boiler with indirect hot water and purge control August 2010. Used 900+ gallons each previous 3 years, used 558, 610, 600, 670 last year. Used 30% less with only an upgrade. 23

Future? In 1929, the economic historian Abbott Payson Usher wrote: The limitations of resources are relative to the position of our knowledge and of our technique. Energy Policy to Get Off Oil based on legacy claims of Foreign oil; Peak Oil, volatility, cleanliness - Need to be rethought as the paradigm has changed. 25
