GHG Implementation Issues Ahead Development of comprehensive AB32 implementation framework Target setting across and within industry sectors Market-based vs. command and control Allowance allocation Use of offsets Load-based vs. source-based electric sector approach Compatibility with CAISO Market Redesign and Technology Upgrade (MRTU, scheduled to go live April 2008) Interaction with Federal legislation Unclear timing/structure for Federal action Compatibility of California solution with Federal Market structure vs. command and control Allowance allocation Use of offsets Interaction with other emissions regulations Los Angeles Basin emission offsets constrain new generation Page 7
SCE Leadership in Clean Energy Programs Energy efficiency Has saved more than 4 billion kwh over the past five years Reduced GHG emissions by >2 million tons over 5 years Will save another 9 billion kwh (4 million tons) beyond 2006 levels by 2016 Demand response Largest portfolio in CA: Nearly 1,300 MW Edison SmartConnect Award-winning smart meter program Electric car fleet and programs Traveled more than 14 million miles and reduced GHG by more than 7,600 tons New partnership with Ford on Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles Clean hydrogen power generation proposal Coal fuel with carbon capture and sequestration Page 8
Paying for Clean Energy Environmental goals create need for new resources with likely higher costs Environmental compliance costs must be borne fairly by all customers This is a challenge in competitive retail environments Legislation/regulation must ensure fair treatment for all customers and their load-serving entities Renewable portfolio standards must apply equally to munis and competitive retail providers, not just utilities GHG framework and allocations must cover all sectors and entities fairly PJM-style capacity market and backup procurement can support new generation for system reliability with fair cost allocation Page 9
