NOTICE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY’S REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF ITS CARBON-FREE SURPLUS ENERGY TRANSACTION WITH

BONNEVILLE POWER ADMINISTRATION

APPLICATION NO. A.19-10-001

On October 1, 2019, Southern California Edison (SCE) filed its application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requesting approval for a “proof of concept” carbon-free transaction to test a model of energy conservation transfer through the purchase in California of surplus carbon-free energy around the clock (ATC) hydropower from Bonneville Power Authority (BPA) and sourced from BPA’s energy efficiency achievements. The transaction is proposed for a three-year period through the end of 2021.

The “proof of concept” transaction seeks to explore whether there is a viable market for hydropower from the Pacific Northwest derived from incremental energy efficiency (EE) savings that can be imported without increasing emissions in other parts of the Western grid. The clean energy imported from BPA will be sold on the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) market, and therefore will be available to all market participants. Lessons learned from the transaction are expected to benefit all California load serving entities by providing information about how to potentially scale up and create a larger market for “non-traditional” energy supply. SCE will submit a final report that includes, but will not be limited to, information concerning the total megawatt hours of energy delivered by the transaction, (2) the total amount of incremental emissions reductions attributable to the transaction, and (3) information on BPA’s incremental EE savings based on BPA’s reported EM&V efforts; and (4) lessons learned.

ESTIMATED IMPACT OF THIS REQUEST ON ELECTRIC RATES

This “proof of concept” transaction is expected to cost a total of approximately $9 million in today’s dollars over a three-year period through the end of 2021. Some of the costs are expected to be offset by revenues SCE earns by bidding the hydropower into the CAISO market. The incremental cost of the transaction is expected to be approximately $2.989 million. The transaction could lead to a market in California for this type of product, thereby helping

Exhibit A, Page 2

California meet its ambitious carbon-reduction goals without increasing emissions in the Pacific Northwest, as required by California law.1

If the CPUC approves this application, it will result in an estimated average rate increase of 0.03% over the three-year term of the transaction from 2019 through 2021.

The following table is representative of the estimated rate increase by customer group if this application is approved by the CPUC.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT SCE’S APPLICATION

You may review a copy of SCE’s application and related exhibits at SCE’s corporate headquarters: 2244 Walnut Grove Avenue, Rosemead, CA 91770.

Customers with internet access may view and download SCE’s application and related exhibits on SCE’s website at https://on.sce.com/2LHkFrG (for A.19-10-001), or by visiting www.sce.com/applications, typing “A.19-10-001” into the search box, and clicking “Go.” If you have technical issues accessing the documents through the website, please e-mail [email protected] for assistance (be sure to reference proceeding A.19-10-001 in your e-mail).

OF ITS CARBON-FREE SURPLUS ENERGY

Application A.19-10-001

On October 1, 2019, Southern California Edison (SCE) filed its

to test a model of energy conservation transfer through the purchase

in California of surplus carbon-free energy around the clock (ATC)

The “proof of concept” transaction seeks to explore whether there is

ESTIMATED IMPACT OF THIS REQUEST ON ELECTRIC RATES

This “proof of concept” transaction is expected to cost a total of

approximately $9 million in today’s dollars over a three-year period

through the end of 2021. Some of the costs are expected to be offset by

revenues SCE earns by bidding the hydropower into the CAISO market.

The incremental cost of the transaction is expected to be approximately

$2.989 million. The transaction could lead to a market in California for

this type of product, thereby helping California meet its ambitious carbon-

reduction goals without increasing emissions in the Pacific Northwest,

as required by California law.1

If the CPUC approves this application, it will result in an estimated

average rate increase of 0.03% over the three-year term of the

transaction from 2019 through 2021.

customer group if this application is approved by the CPUC.

On October 13, 2016, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued Decision (D.)16-10-008, which approved aSettlement Agreement between Southern California Edison Company (SCE), The Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA), andThe Utility Reform Network (TURN). The Settlement Agreement resolves litigation regarding three previous CPUC Decisionsthat awarded SCE shareholder incentives for energy efficiency savings achieved during the 2006-2008 Energy Efficiencyprogram cycle. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, SCE agrees to return to its customers $13.5 million in equal amountsover a three year period. Alternatively, at its option SCE may accelerate the refund by crediting the present value, $12.38million, via a one-time credit to SCE's Base Revenue Requirement Balancing Account (BRRBA) within 30 days of CPUC'sapproval of the Settlement Agreement. SCE elected to accelerate the refund, and on November 11, 2016, SCE credited theBRBBA in the amount of $12.38 million, which offsets the rates SCE collects from its customers through the BRRBA.
