1 1 Connecting the Dots Edward Randolph Director, Energy Division California Public Utilities Commission Date (example: April 26, 2012)

2 Connecting the Dots Many different ways to connect the dots, Best to start at the point in time and explain how things built from there. So I will start at the year 1 AeC.

3 Move Back into Long Term Planning As part of unwinding the energy crisis the Legislature and the CPUC created a process for long term planning by the IOUs. This eventually became know as the Long Term Procurement Planning (LTPP). There have been changes overtime and will continue to change as we learn more and the needs of the gird change. Also eventually added Resource Adequacy to the mix 3

4 LTTP Today Open issues from the 2012 LTTP –SCE Track I Application –SCE Living pilot –SDG&E Carlsbad Application –SDG&E All source RFO/Application 4

5 LTPP Today 2014 LTPP –Phase 1a -- Capacity and flexibility needs –Phase 1b -- 2015 procurement Authorization 5

6 Resource Adequacy 2015 Compliance Year Proceeding to open this fall: –Should we unbundle system and flexible capacity? –Should/can we count curtailable renewable resources and if so, how? –Should we change the allocation of flexible resource requirements? 6

7 Then We Added Renewables Today Goal is 33% by 2020 with AB 327 setting that as a floor. –Current RPS Proceeding 2015 Procurement plans (based on compliance need not system need) RPS calculator (feeds back to needs and Transmission Planning in LTPP) Procurement Streamlining RAM review (smaller non-DG procurement) ReMAT (small DG) 7

8 RPS (well maybe) “Integration Adder” – or Total Resource Valuation. –Legislation requires valuation of integration costs into Least Cost Best Fit. –Process was already underway – will entail inputs from LTPP, RA, and RPS. –Could ultimately be used to value DR and EE. 8

9 Then Came Customer Generation California Solar Initiative & SGIP –Relates back to LTPP in RA by impact future demand forecasts. –Relates to RPS IF customer sells RECs – but otherwise doesn’t impact RPS. NEM 2.0 9

10 Then Came GHG (well it had been there for a while but we decide to reduce our production) Direct impact –Proceedings on cost allocation issues. 10

11 Then Came GHG (and a bunch of separate Programs to meet the goals. ) Electric Vehicles Utility role in infrastructure Vehicle to grid integration Demand Response –2015 reauthorization –Foundation policy issue to promote big increase –Guidance for future portfolios 11

12 Then Came GHG (and a bunch of separate Programs to meet the goals. Energy Efficiency –Decision on 2015 funding mailed this week. –Next phases look at rolling portfolio and program redesign issues. 12

13 Then Came the Future Distributed Resources Plan Proceeding –Establishes policies, procedures and rules for development of Distribution Resources Plans Phase 1: Aug – January, provide guidance for utility Distribution Resources Plans (DRPs) required by AB 327 (Sec. 769) Phase 2: Commencing July 1, 2015, evaluate DRP filings and future investments in electric distribution infrastructure. 13

14 Then Came the Future Interconnection Reform Energy Storage 14

15 AND then There are Others…. CEC IEPR CAISO TPP Joint Agency Steering Committee (JASC) (Padilla Letter) 15

16 Here we go…. LTTP RA 16 RPS Customer Generation EE Elect Vehicles JRF Distribution Resource Plan Interconnection reform GHG costs Demand response Rate reform Rate cases storage

17 What’s ahead? RADICALLY DIFFERENT? –All Source Procurement? –Clean Energy Standard? –Death of the special programs? 17

18 A Little Bit of Bragging In 2013 total renewable production in California was 19% of total load –Average prices were $0.15 per kWh In 2013 total renewable production in Germany was 21% of total load –Prices were between $0.30 and $0.39 per kWh
