2Southern California Edison Overview
- An Edison International company, SCE is one of
the nations largest investor-owned electric
utilities, with more than 120 years of service. - Serves a population of 13 million people, via 4.7
million business and residential accounts in a
50,000-square-mile service area within central,
coastal and Southern California. - Delivering that power takes 93,500 circuit miles
of line connecting 1.5 million poles, 683,000
transformers and 737,000 area and street lights
and the days and nights of 13,000 employees.
3Southern California Edison Overview
Surveyors at Big Creek near junction with Pitman
Creek in 1910.
- SCEs history begins in 1886.
- In 1909, the name Southern California Edison was
born. - More than 200 predecessors have come together to
create Southern California Edison. - From late 1940s through mid 1970s SCE built
numerous oil- and gas-fired plants to meet the
increasing electric load. - In the 1960s and 1970s Edison also built a large
coastal nuclear plant. - Today SCEs energy mix includes gas, nuclear,
coal hydro power and renewable power.

7SCEs Renewable Portfolio
100 16 of total system kWh in 2006 (expected)
- The Renewable Portfolio Standard in California
requires all load serving entities to serve 20
of their retail customer load with renewable
energy by the year 2017, preferably by 2010. - SCE is making every effort to meet this
requirement. Among the major challenges are long
transmission development lead times, long project
lead times, unknown viability of new projects,
renewables supply/demand and increasing load
forecast.

8Estimated Generation Need in Southern California
MW
- There is significant need for new generation in
the So. Cal. region. - The challenge is to encourage investment in new
generation under retail competition. - SCE and others have proposed interim solution
- CPUC-approved utility long-term (10-year)
contracts for new generation capacity to ensure
system-wide reliability - Allocate benefits and costs to all customers
- Limit transitional contracts to the minimum
amount of capacity needed

9Distributed Energy Resources Collection Of
Different Technologies and Applications
- Distributed generation Primarily small scale
generation of electric power by a unit sited
close to the load being served. Typical
technologies include microturbines, internal
combustion engines, fuel cells, small gas
turbines, solar photovoltaic, and combine heat
and power (CHP). - Energy Efficiency Products or systems using less
energy to do the same or better job than
conventional products or systems. Energy
efficiency saves energy, saves money on utility
bills, and helps protect the environment by
reducing the amount of electricity that needs to
be generated. - Demand Response The ability to buy back capacity
from customers with discretionary demand so that
others with high and consistent demand levels can
continue to be served during critical high demand
periods. DR programs provide incentives to
curtail electricity demand and reduce load during
peak periods in response to system reliability.

- While Distributed Generation (DG) has several
undisputed benefits, and it is useful in several
applications (e.g. emergency backup, combined
heat and power) it is not an economic generation
resource option in the large scale in the near
term. - DG has significantly higher installation costs
and emissions output per kWh than central station
power plants. - The most competitive DG technologies are still in
the experimental phase. - Large scale commercial viability is not proven
yet.
11Energy Efficiency at SCE
- Business and Residential Energy Programs
- SCE offers its customers one of the largest
arrays of energy efficiency programs, products
and services in the nation. - The programs have
- Paid 258,400 rebates to residential, commercial,
and industrial customers for energy-efficient
appliances, lighting, motors, and heating and air
conditioning systems, totaling more than 140
million - Provided over 130,000 residential home energy
surveys - Picked up from residential customers more than
70,000 older, inefficient refrigerators,
recycling them in an environmentally safe manner
and - Assisted builders who constructed nearly 27,000
thousand new, energy-efficient homes.

13Future Technologies Advanced Meters
- Intelligently Connecting Edison to our Customers
- The California Public Utilities Commission has
approved the development of a "next-generation"
electric meterphase 1 of a potential 3-phased
program to implement an advanced metering
infrastructure (AMI). - AMI is an intelligent metering system that
provides new functionality to meet the needs of
our customers and our company into the future. - AMI has the potential to do
- Develop demand flexibility as a resource to
enhance the electric system reliability - Reduce power purchase and individual consumer
costs - Protect the environment
