2 BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Application of Southern California Edison Company (U 338-E) for Approval of the Coso Termination Agreement.

In each 1

3 meeting, SCE stated that it strongly supported the Proposed Decision (PD) approving SCE s Application for the early termination of two power purchase agreements between SCE and Coso Geothermal Holdings, LLC. SCE requested two revisions to the PD. First, SCE requested that the PD be revised to allow for SCE to include the 2019 Coso termination payments in the 2019 ERRA Forecast update, consistent with the fact that SCE will actually make those payments in Second, SCE requested that the PD be revised to clarify that the requirements for the next cost of capital proceeding refer to SCE s 2020 authorized cost of capital, not its 2019 authorized cost of capital, which has already been determined by the Commission. SCE briefly noted the upcoming cost of capital proceeding would be heavily litigated and would need to be expeditiously addressed, so cautioned against unnecessarily expanding its scope. In the meeting with Joanna Gubman, SCE also discussed the costs of the Coso power purchase agreements and the expected customer savings if the termination agreement is approved.
