2 BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Order Instituting Rulemaking to Develop a Risk- Based Decision-Making Framework to Evaluate Safety and Reliability Improvements and Revise the General Rate Case Plan for Energy Utilities R (filed November 14, 2013) SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY S (U 338-E) REPLY COMMENTS ON ENERGY DIVISION S GENERAL RATE CASE PLAN WORKSHOP REPORT I. INTRODUCTION Pursuant to Ordering Paragraph Three of Administrative Law Judge Roscow s March 8, 2018 Ruling Issuing Energy Division Workshop Report for Comment, Southern California Edison Company (SCE) respectfully submits this short set of Reply Comments On Energy Division s General Rate Case Plan Workshop Report (Workshop Report). II. EXTENSIONS OF THE DEADLINE FOR ORA TO SUBMIT ITS GRC TESTIMONY MUST NOT CURTAIL THE UTILITY S TIME TO PREPARE REBUTTAL TESTIMONY Should the Commission modify the rate case procedural schedule to give ORA more time to prepare its testimony, the attendant "sag" in the schedule should not lead to any reduction in the time the utility has to develop its rebuttal showing. The utility bears the burden of proof, and accordingly has the right to not only open the prepared testimony, but fully close as well. Allowing ORA more time to pen its showing should not prejudice the utility's ability to fully address and rebut other parties testimony. 1

3 III. ADVANCE COORDINATION WILL MAKE WORKSHOPS AS EFFICIENT AND BENEFICIAL AS POSSIBLE FOR THE COMMISSION Based on the various parties Opening Comments, it appears that there is a great deal of support for additional workshops in specific areas. To aid the parties in executing these workshops efficiently and to help the Commission derive maximum benefit from the workshops, SCE suggests that the following advance steps be taken: SCE encourages the Energy Division to meet separately with each of the key stakeholders to develop a comprehensive and productive agenda that will address all needed issues and perspectives. SCE also suggests that, based on these meetings, Energy Division develops initial substantive proposals and circulates them for review and comment in advance of the applicable workshop. If these pre-workshop efforts occur, the workshops will then proceed more efficiently and productively, which benefits the Commission and all of the parties. IV. CONCLUSION SCE appreciates the opportunity to provide these Reply Comments. We look forward to further discussion and thought partnership at future workshops that the Commission or its Energy Division may host on the subjects addressed in the Workshop Report. SCE again expresses its thanks to the Energy Division for their considerable efforts in preparing the Workshop Report. 2
