3. Industry Trends and Regulatory Drivers 3 Renewable Portfolio Standard: Requires 33 percent of delivered power to come from renewable sources such as solar, wind and geothermal by the year 2020 Greenhouse Gas (AB32): Requires reduction in GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 Energy Storage (AB2514): Requires 1,325 megawatts of storage by 2020 Distribution Resource Plan (AB 327): Requires utilities to identify optimal locations for distributed resources throughout service territories Prioritizing environmental sustainability Changing customer expectations Accelerating technology advancement facilitating conservation and self-generation Increasing use of distributed energy resources and transportation electrification Flattening demand for electricity Industry TrendsRegulatory Drivers

4. Distributed Energy Resources 4

5. Commission Goals for Distribution Resources Plan Supporting California’s 2030 and 2050 GHG reduction targets Beginning the process of moving towards full integration of DERs in distribution system planning, operations, and investments Modernizing the electric distribution system to accommodate two-way flows of energy and energy services throughout the IOUs’ networks Enabling customer choice of new technologies and services that reduce emissions and improve reliability in a cost efficient manner Animating opportunities for DERs to realize benefits through the provision of grid services Creating a “plug-and-play” distribution grid for DERs 5

6. Distribution Resources Plan Publish Results via Online Maps Perform Planning Analyses Establishing Locational Net Benefits Complete Demonstration Projects Phase 2: 2018-2019 Determine impacts on distribution system Deploy sensors and communications infrastructure Identify optimal locations for DER Phase 1: 2016-2017 Develop tools and methodologies Share data with third parties Plan and design sensors and communications infrastructure Phase 3: 2018+ Develop procurement policy Enable distribution system markets The CPUC envisions a phased approach 6

7. Distributed Energy Resource Interconnection Maps (DERiM) 7 SCE DERIM: on.sce.com/derimon.sce.com/derim

8. Locational Net Benefits SCE’s objective is to identify optimal locations, likely in form of heat maps, where DERs could provide a high benefit value SCE’s locational net benefits methodology (LNBM) identifies DER benefit components and describes how to quantify them Identification and communication of locational net benefits can drive DERs to locations where they can provide the most benefit with cost effective means 8

9. 9 Location for Demo A - D : a.Orange County area of service territory/ongoing activities to modernize the grid for DER integration b.Demo C & D – leverage existing projects, PRP & IGP Location for Demo E : a.Orange County area of service, or another suitable location Schedule for Demo A & B: a.Commence no later than one month after commission approval b.Submit final report by Q1, 2017 Schedule for Demo C,D & E: a.Commence no later than one year after commission approval b.Submit final report by Q4, 2019 2. Demonstration and Deployment Demonstration and Deployment
