EDISON INTERNATIONAL® SM System Reliability Price Stability Environmental Considerations Balance objectives through CPUC/CEC’s “loading order”: – Energy Efficiency; Demand Response – Renewable Resources – Distributed Generation – Clean and Efficient Fossil-Fired Generation SCE’s Long-Term Resource Objectives Integration of Renewables Must Consider and Satisfy These Objectives

EDISON INTERNATIONAL® SM Biomass 7% Geothermal 53% Solar 6% Wind 29% Small Hydro 5% 2010 Renewable Resources (14.5 billion kWh) 2010 20% RPS (goal) 2020 Potential 33% RPS (goal) 89% Increase SCE Renewable Resource % of Total Delivered Portfolio: 19.4% SCE 2010 20% Renewable Energy Goal Contracts are in place to meet 20% of customers ’ energy requirement with renewable resources through flexible compliance. SCE Delivers More Renewable Power Than Any Other Utility in the Country

EDISON INTERNATIONAL® SM Solar PV Growth At SCE Solar PV is the fastest growing resource in our renewable portfolio. As the cost of solar PV declines, the more of it we can purchase cost-effectively. Deliveries from Solar Contracts Executed Before Aug 2009 Deliveries from All Solar Contracts To-Date Solar Thermal Solar PV Rooftop Solar PV Ground Mount

EDISON INTERNATIONAL® SM SCE’s Comprehensive Approach to Solar Utility Scale Distributed Solar 250 MW Utility Owned 250 MW IPP Commercial Warehouse Rooftop Installations 1-2 MW Contracts (Avg) Customer Owned Distributed Solar California Solar Initiative Up to 1 MW Incentives Follow Declining Tier Structure Utility Scale Solar Procurement RPS Solicitations Bilateral Contracts Feed-in Tariffs Renewable Solar Contracts (to be Renewable Auction Mechanism) Medium SmallLarge Power Deliveries Count Toward “RPS” Goals While many options exist for renewables developers, the magnitude of RPS goals drives SCE to procure large volumes through its competitive solicitations. SCE has also found value in utility scale distributed solar as a means to achieve RPS compliance and provide greater flexibility in our procurement portfolio.

EDISON INTERNATIONAL® SM Utility Implications of larger volumes of Solar Solar PV is one of our fastest growing renewable resources, but also one of the most difficult to forecast Intermittency Challenges Lower Cost Larger Supply Greater Output Variability of Portfolio Energy storage has potential to mitigate need for back-up generation and could resolve intermittency issues, but not yet technically or economically feasible for utilities
