16 RENEWABLE ENERGY ROADMAP

17 Current State SCE leads the nation in renewable energy, delivering approximately 15.5 billion kilowatt-hours of renewable energy to customers in 2011 –That’s enough to power over 15 million homes each month! This constitutes about 21.1% of the energy we deliver to customers In 2011, SCE signed 15 contracts for 920 megawatts of renewable power 17

18 SCE Renewable Portfolio Solar 6% Small Hydro 6% Geothermal 47% Biomass 6% Wind 35% Renewable Resources (billion kWh) 2011 Actual Deliveries 2020 33% RPS Goal 83% Increase Actual 2011 Renewable Resources: 21.1% of SCE’s portfolio California’s Renewable Policy (SBx1-2) Requires a 33% standard by 2020 18

19 19

20 Intermittent Power –Some renewable energy sources like wind and solar are intermittent and must be backed up by additional conventional power sources to maintain system reliability –Ramping up and down those backup power sources can also present a challenge in terms of planning Cost of Infrastructure –The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) found that achieving the Renewables Procurement Standard (RPS) of 33% by 2020 will require new generating facilities, transmission lines, and other grid infrastructure at an estimated cost of $115 billion Building New Transmission Lines –California needs new transmission lines to bring renewable power from remote areas to population centers –Building a new electricity transmission line is a huge undertaking –New transmission lines get approved via lengthy, multi-agency permitting procedures, often taking up to 10 years Renewable Energy Challenges 20

21 Customer Opinions While customers overwhelmingly support renewables in principle, they are less enthusiastic about paying for them –Customers don’t understand the “true cost” of integrating more renewable power into the grid, both in terms of dollars and impact to reliability –Any increases in costs are shouldered by a small subset of customers 21 Strongly Support Somewhat Support Somewhat Oppose Strongly Oppose Don’t Know/ N/A Strongly Support Somewhat Support Somewhat Oppose Strongly Oppose Don’t Know/ N/A 47% 28% 7% 12% 6% 21% 37% 12% 26% 4% In PrincipleWith Modest Price Increase Sources: FM3 and Winner & Associates – May 2011

22 SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION (SONGS)

23 The Role of Nuclear Energy in California San Onofre provides “baseload” generation –Can produce large amounts of electricity 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, regardless of weather conditions and without constraints Nuclear energy provides voltage support –Keeps the electrons moving through the grid across the region Nuclear energy is by far our largest single source of emission- free generation –Provides 24% of SCE’s carbon-free electricity generation mix –Nuclear energy facilities in California supply 37% of the state’s emission-free power generation

24 San Onofre Units 2 & 3 Started construction in 1974 Combined units 2 & 3 generate 2,200 megawatts Unit 2 was taken out of service Jan. 9, 2012 for a planned outage Unit 3 was safely taken offline Jan. 31, 2012 after station operators detected a small leak in a steam generator tube

25 Testing and Evaluation Extensive inspections and testing showed tube wear in the steam generators in both units Unexpected tube-to-tube wear was found predominantly in Unit 3 Extensive inspections of Unit 2, based on the wear found in Unit 3, identified only one pair of tubes displaying what could be early indications of tube-to-tube wear The manufacturer’s computer modeling used during the design phase did not accurately predict the vibration-causing environment in the steam generators

26 Restarting SONGS SCE will not restart the plant until the utility and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are satisfied that it is safe to do so Safety Responsibility Transparency Our number one priority is protecting the health and safety of the public and our employees SCE takes seriously the responsibility of running the plant safely – and the trust the public places on us to safely provide reliable and clean energy We are committed to keeping our customers, our communities and the public informed on the progress and plans for San Onofre, and we will continue to do that

27 Next Steps at San Onofore SCE will outline the actions it must take before any restart in a report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold public meetings to keep the community informed The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will thoroughly review all documents and must approve all repair and operating plans

28 2012 SUMMER READINESS – EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT

29 Summer Readiness SCE & CAISO routinely plan for an outage of one SONGS unit Long term loss of both units presents significant challenges Summer readiness mitigation measures activated: 1.Transmission lines were upgraded 2.The gas powered plants in Huntington Beach were temporarily restarted 3.Significant customer outreach 29

30 Tremendous Support from Our Customers Unprecedented customer response –Conservation efforts by residents and businesses –Customers helped avoid major power outages during our August heat wave 10 for 10 Program –Approximately 20% of OC businesses reduced their load 10% or more as compared to last summer Individual customer efforts –Two industrial customers changed their operation during the August heat wave and together shifted over 90 megawatts of load to a time when the system was less stressed 30
