Long Term Procurement Plan (LTPP) • The LTPP authorizes new infrastructure to maintain system reliability • Looks forward 10 years to identify system and local needs • Considers alternative futures (renewable portfolio, demand supply, and transmission scenarios) • Updates procurement rules 2
2012 LTPP • Track 1 - D. 13 -02 -015 authorized SCE to procure electrical capacity in the West LA Basin & Moorpark sub-areas to meet long-term local capacity requirements. • Track 4 - D. 14 -03 -004 authorized additional procurement for SCE and SDG&E to meet local capacity needs stemming from the retired San Onofre Nuclear Generation Stations (SONGS). 3
Any Authorization Requires Balance of Operational Benefits Any resource authorization must balance capabilities No single resource can meet both reliability needs and state policy objectives alone Type Energy Efficiency[1] Demand Response Reactive Annual Expected power Capacity Availability support Factor On-Peak Dispatchable Inertia (VARS) Reduces total energy demand GHG-free Yes Low [2] 100% Yes No No Yes Combined Heat & Power 80% 100% Maybe Yes No Large Solar 24% 77% No No Maybe Yes Rooftop Solar 19% 45% No No No Yes Wind 33% 30% No No No [3] Yes Storage N/A 100% Yes No Maybe Yes Gas Peaker/CT 10% 100% Yes Yes No Gas Combined Cycle 65% 100% Yes No 4 [1] Energy efficiency is not traditionally measured as a capacity factor resource, and savings vary widely by application and use. [2] Demand response programs generally have low capacity factors due to typical usage limits of 100 hours or less per year. [3] Some renewable energy sources, notably wind, actually require additional VAR support.

SDG&E Implementation Progress • Pio Pico (300 MW) approved in (D. 14 -02 -016) – Contract start date – June of 2017 • Carlsbad Energy Center (500 MW) approved in May of 2015 (D. 1505 -051) – Six applications for rehearing currently pending before the Commission • SDG&E’s 2014 All Source RFO – RFO issued – September 5, 2014 – SDG&E notified shortlisted bidders – June 5 , 2015 – SDG&E submits contracts to CPUC for approval – Q 1 2016 8
Contingency Contracts • • D. 14 -03 -004 allows submission of contingency contracts, but SCE and/or SDG&E, in their applications must address a number of questions posed by the Commission. SCE procurement authorization status – SCE has submitted an application to fill 1882 MW of total need – SCE will need to procure an additional 100 MW of preferred resources – SCE has authorization for an additional 518 MW (400 MW preferred resources/energy storage, the remainder from any source) • SDG&E procurement authorization status – SDG&E has received Commission approval for its 500 MW Carlsbad facility – SDG&E has authorization for an additional 300 MW of preferred resources/energy storage 9
