2 BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Application of Southern California Edison Company (U 338-E) to Establish Marginal Costs, Allocate Revenues, Design Rates. A (Filed June 30, 2017) SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY S (U 338-E) NOTICE OF EX PARTE COMMUNICATION Pursuant to Rule 8.4(a) of the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the California Public Utilities Commission (Commission or CPUC), Southern California Edison Company (SCE) hereby gives notice of the following ex parte communications. 1 The communications were a combination of oral and written communications, related primarily to SCE s pending application for approval of its 2016 Rate Design Window (RDW) proposals, 2 and took place as follows. (1) On Monday, July 2, 2018, at 10:30 a.m. with Yuliya Shmidt, advisor to Commissioner Rechtschaffen; Sean Simon, chief of staff to Commissioner Rechtschaffen; and Xuhua Sheila Gao, a CPUC intern in Commissioner Rechtschaffen s office (in person for approximately 30 minutes); (2) on Monday, July 2, 2018, at 1:30 p.m. with Ehren Seybert, advisor to Commissioner Carla J. Peterman (in person for approximately 30 minutes); and (3) on Tuesday, July 3, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. with Jason Houck, advisor to Commissioner Randolph (in person for approximately 30 minutes). 1 Pursuant to Rule 8.4(a), this notice combines timely reports for more than one ex parte communication. 2 A concurrent notice will be filed in that docket, A

3 The three meetings took place at the offices of the Commission located at 505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, California. The first page of the attached written materials were distributed at each meeting. The last three pages were distributed only at the second two meetings. SCE initiated the communications, and in attendance for SCE were Laura Genao, Managing Director of Regulatory Affairs, and Russell Garwacki, Director of Pricing, Design and Research. SCE representatives stated that the PD adopts SCE s TOU proposals, which were largely unopposed by most parties. Those proposals adhered to the Commission s decision in the TOU OIR setting guidelines for establishment of TOU Periods (D ). For the meetings with Mr. Seybert and Mr. Houck, SCE presented Figure IV-28 from its direct testimony in this proceeding, which shows an aggregated 2024 cost view. As backup for this figure, SCE also presented Figures III-23 and Figure III-24 from its rebuttal testimony, which presents the contrast between SCE s 2021 and 2024 forecast hourly cost heat maps for both weekdays and weekends for each month. SCE explained that it is the difference between these years (i.e., the difference in Figure III-23 versus Figure III-24) that reflects the impact of growing RPS on reducing mid-day pricing in all winter months including October. The data demonstrates why SCE selected an extended super off-peak (SOP) period across the entire winter season, starting immediately. Setting the appropriate, stable long-term TOU periods is critical to customer outreach and understanding. In the near term, rate differentials within those periods could be narrower (as in SCE s pending 2018 GRC Phase 2 proposals). However, the TOU periods themselves should reflect a longer-term vision, enduring at least several GRC cycles consistent with the spirit of the Commission s guidance in the TOU OIR. This longerterm vision incorporates (rather than ignores) the movement from 33% to 40% RPS by 2024, which will drive down the midday costs. To the extent RPS targets increase even more, the differential will only grow. For these reasons, it is important to establish an extended SOP period now to avoid yet another change in TOU periods later. 2

4 SCE also discussed the negative impact that delaying or changing the proposed decision would have on SCE s customers and SCE s GRC Phase 2 proceeding. In the meeting with Mr. Houck, SCE also discussed its reasons for maintaining the cap on Option R. Respectfully submitted, FADIA R. KHOURY RUSSELL A. ARCHER /s/ Russell A. Archer By: Russell A.
