    3 fossil power plants

    13 photo-voltaic or fuel cell sites

    Energy Procurement

    • Manages the electric and gas portfolio to ensure reliable energy supply while reducing costs and risk

    • Provides safe, reliable, and reasonably priced electricity and natural gas to our customers in an environmentally sensitive manner

    • Monitor future policies and market structures to benefit customers and protect interests of shareholders

  • T&D Overview: Electric System

    Electric T&D consists of:

    • Transmission lines, substations and the distribution system:

    – 5.4 million electric customers

    – 70,000 square mile service area

    – 18,600 miles of transmission lines

    ‒ 143,000 miles of distribution lines

    ‒ 860 substations

    ‒ 3,200 main line cables

    ‒ 1.0 million transformers

    ‒ 2.4 million poles (including towers)

  • Electric Distribution Quick Facts • We operate 4kV, 12kV, 17kV, 21kV, 34kV, and

    44kV distribution systems ‒ System Design

    • Radial distribution system • High feeder utilization (71%)

    ‒ Automation • Currently deploying mobile technology to

    field workforce • Increasing SCADA visibility

    (today 60%) • Deploying feeder automation

    ‒ Network Systems • San Francisco: 1,114 units;

    10 network groups, 57 circuits • Oakland: 221 units; 2 network groups, 12

    circuits ‒ Distribution Control Centers

    • Highly decentralized (13 control centers)

    • Consolidation effort underway

    Electric Distribution System

    5

  • Electric Transmission Quick Facts We operate 60kV, 70kV, 115kV, 230kV and 500kV Transmission systems • System is designed:

    ‒ To withstand the loss of a single element (N-1) or multiple elements

    ‒ To meet North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) reliability standards

    ‒ To integrate through 4 inter-ties; (1) Pacific Northwest, (2) Southern California Edison, (3) PacifiCorp, and (4) NV Energy in Nevada

    • Focus on Automation ‒ Deploying Modular Protection Automation Control

    • Increasing SCADA penetration (today 71%) • Grid Control Center consolidation in 2011 • Upgrading transmission supply projects to San Francisco

    and northern San Mateo County ‒ Potrero-Embarcadero 230 kV Project submitted to the

    Commission for approval ‒ Moraga-Potrero 230 kV Project, working with the

    California Independent System Operator (CAISO) on project need and plan of service

    Transmission Line competition is changing the environment

  • Power Generation

    As of September 1, 2014, Power Generation (all non-nuclear generation) is now part of Electric Operations.

    This provides a review of upcoming work in our Hydro

    Projects for 2015. We have ongoing maintenance of our fossil and Photo-voltaic plants which are already under contract.
