1 Laura Genao Director of Regulatory Affairs Southern California Edison May 18,

2 Overview of SCE One of the nation s largest electric utilities Nearly 14 million residents in service territory and 4.9 million accounts 50,000 square-mile service area Over 110,000 miles of distribution and transmission lines SCE is investing in California s future with over $11 billion capital program for System reliability California Renewables Portfolio Standard Technology improvements SCE Service Territory 2

3 SCE Delivers More Renewable Energy Than Any Utility in the U.S. Actual 2011 Renewable Resources 15.5 billion kwh 21.1% of SCE s portfolio Renewable Resources Goal (billion kwh) 28.3* Small Hydro 6% Solar 6% Biomass 6% Geothermal 47% % Increase Wind 35% 2011 Actual Procurement % RPS Goal *Not to scale 3

4 SCE s Renewables Generation Portfolio To date, SCE has procured energy from 38 projects associated with government entities for 157 MW of renewable energy Off 106 projects* which have PPAs and are in development, 21 are located on either BLM or county-owned sites Examples of large projects in SCE s portfolio: Developer Technology Size (MW) Location COD Alta Wind 1,548 Tehachapi 2015** NextEra PV 250 Riverside 2016 First Solar PV 250 CA/NV Border 2017 *As of May 14, 2012 **1,020 MWs already online 4

5 How SCE Procures Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariffs Bilaterals RPS Solicitations PURPA* (Historically) ( 370 MWs) ( 570 MWs) ( 6,500 MWs) ( 2,300 MWs) California Renewable Energy Small Tariff (CREST)** Solar Photovoltaic Program (SPVP) Many options exist for renewables developers Bulk of RPS goals are met using competitive solicitations Renewable Auction Mechanism (RAM)*** * PURPA Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act *** SB 32 is replacing CREST *** RAM replaced SCE s Renewable Standard Contract (RSC) Data current as of May 10,

6 Competition Drives Growth in Renewables Progress toward the state s renewable energy goals has been made almost entirely via the competitive market place Most recent solicitation: Over 400 unique projects and over 1,400 project variations 6

7 RPS Procurement Evaluation Dimensions Benefit-Cost Evaluation Capacity and energy benefit Transmission cost Debt equivalence Contract price Integration costs Qualitative Evaluation Project viability Transmission status Developer experience Delivery timeframe Resource diversity Technology viability In addition to the dimensions used to evaluate RPS proposals, these market principles ensure customers receive the highest possible value from renewables: Broad markets, flexible compliance, equal rules, and cost containment 7

8 SCE s Energy Procurement Opportunities 8

9 Despite Progress, Development Challenges Remain Permitting, siting, approval and construction of transmission (e.g., long development lead times) Heavily subscribed interconnection queues (e.g., 976 applicants in SCE s territory to date) Developer performance (e.g., impacts ability to assemble team, secure financing, select site, and negotiate PPA) Upward pressure on customer rates (e.g., purchase and integration costs) 9

10 SCE System Average Rate (Cents/kWh) Effect of Renewable Energy Costs on Rates The price of renewable resources significantly exceeds that of conventional resources - Current generation rate: 8 cents/kwh (average rate) - Historically paid above this price for renewables - Although current prices for renewables are at or below this price, SCE s need is minimal Integration costs and federal incentives impact overall costs - Current BPA wind integration charge: 0.5 cents/kwh - This cost may rise as demand for integration services increases SCE's System Average Rate (Illustrative Purposes Only) Electricity customers need protection against rising rates due to policy and regulatory goals? Integration and additional charges Generation Transmission and Distribution Other 2010 With more renewables and integration 10

11 Procuring Renewables at the Right Time Can Yield Significant Cost savings $3.19/W $2.65/W Expected decrease in price of typical utility scale PV system $2.17/W $2.03/W $1.89/W $1.80/W $1.7/W $1.64/W $1.58/W $1.5/W $1.45/W Module Inverter Balance of plant EPC Other Source: Bloomberg New Energy Finance 11

12 Key Takeaways Contracting opportunities abound for developers Most growth in the renewables area has come from a competitive market place While SCE always has a need for renewables, it is not in the near term California s market for renewable resources is mature, there is no need for additional incentives 12

13 Back-Up Slides 13

14 Current Status of Tax Incentives for Renewables Production Tax Credit (PTC) 2.2 /kwh Operation deadline 12/31/2012: Wind 12/31/2013: Municipal Solid Waste, Biomass, Landfill, Geothermal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) 30% investment credit if generators meet operation deadline 12/31/2012: Wind 12/31/13: Municipal Solid Waste, Biomass, Landfill, Geothermal 12/31/2016: Solar 10% investment credit after the above operation deadlines American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Expired Federal loan guarantee expired 9/30/2011 Cash grant in lieu of PTC or ITC expired 12/31/
