• As global cannabis markets expand, US markets are in flux
• New adult use markets are slowly rolling out
• Regulatory structures still being deployed; expect a bumpy ride
• More states exploring legalization as a means to address budget issues
• $1.7b combined revenue in OR/WA/CO (01/14 - 12/17)
• Recent New Frontier Data report outlined job creation and
increased revenues associated with full legalization
• 1.1M jobs, over $100B in federal tax revenue
• Cities and counties are playing a key role in the growth (or barriers)
of cannabis opportunities
• Prohibition through legalization
• Potentially driving consumers and suppliers back to illicit market
• Feds still concerned about diversion

SALES IN CURRENT MARKETS ARE GROWING,
BUT ARE DWARFED BY THE ILLICIT MARKET
With most states only allowing restricted medical use, and
other regulatory factors, including high tax rates and regional
cannabis business bans limiting consumer participation, there
will remain a well-entrenched illicit market for the foreseeable
future.

• With more states coming online, there will be more energy consumption overall.
• Keeping up to date on which states are likely to legalize will help utilities
forecast consumption and set rates.

• California is the main focus on the West Coast
• North America’s largest market
• Regulatory deployment is stumbling out of the gate with restrictive city
and county policies and high local taxes
• Energy use will be concentrated in counties with more licenses and
favorable regulations
• Colorado/Washington/Oregon are maturing, but not without pitfalls
• Colorado faces consolidation, regulators stepping up enforcement of co-
ops and exporters. Growth is slowing
• Washington market very robust, but also facing consolidation, pricing
pressures and slower growth
• Oregon retailers are in distress, prices are commoditizing, business
saturation is causing over supply. Illicit market remains a challenge
• While markets are maturing, regulatory changes continue to pose a
threat to the industry. Stay informed, stay agile

Objectives of the Cannabis PowerScore
1. Create industry benchmarks on cultivation facility energy performance
based on efficient production (grams per annual kWh consumed) and
efficient use of the facility (annual kWh per square foot of flowering canopy)
1. Help cultivators and business operators anonymously self-assess their
energy performance and gain support in moving toward efficiency,
inclusive of all growing methods
1. Assist governments, utilities and manufacturers in establishing
policies, incentives and R&D approaches to drive conservation
1. Create the framework for WaterScore, CarbonScore, WasteScore, etc.
