2 BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Application of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (U39E) for Approval of Demand Response Programs, Pilots and Budgets for Program Years Application (Filed January 17, 2017) And Related Matters. Application Application SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY S (U 338-E) NOTICE OF EX PARTE COMMUNICATION Pursuant to Rule 8.4 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 communication in the above-referenced proceeding. 1 On January 10, 2018, at approximately 4:00 p.m., representatives from SCE participated via telephone conference with Ms. Candace Morey, Advisor to Commissioner Martha Guzman- Acéves, Ms. Jean Lamming, Ms. Neha Bazaj, and Ms. Whitney Richardson from Energy Division staff, and Ms. Karen Herter, Energy Division s residential energy efficiency consultant. The conference call lasted approximately sixty minutes. The call was initiated by SCE at the 1 A separate notice is also being filed in the Residential Rate Reform Rulemaking proceeding, R and in SCE s 2018 Residential Rate Design Window Application proceeding, A

3 request of Energy Division staff to discuss with SCE its plans for a campaign to encourage low income customers to opt into Time-of-Use rates and to further discuss with SCE its limited Time-of-Use pilot with Nest including any lessons learned, barriers, and potential opportunities that could be applied in the context of the Demand Response (DR) Pilot initiative approved in the final decision on the DR Funding Applications. Nathanael Gonzalez, Senior Project Manager of Demand Response in Regulatory Affairs, Andre Ramirez, Principal Advisor of Regulatory Affairs & Compliance, Eva Molnar, Senior Manager of Customer Programs & Services, Janet Zavala, Manager of Mass Market Demand Response, and David Kaintz, Senior Manager in Customer Programs & Services participated on behalf of SCE. During the call, SCE stated that although customers on the CARE rate tend to have lower bills than non-care customers, there are low-usage and high-usage CARE customers, and SCE has endeavored to design its TOU rates so as to moderate bill impacts to all residential customers, including CARE customers. SCE discussed its view that both demand response and TOU rates are beneficial for customers and that it would like to explore ways to better educate and reach customers with these rates and programs. SCE discussed ways to accomplish this additional outreach and education through upcoming pilots, including potentially modifying an upcoming low income smart thermostat pilot to include TOU rates. SCE also noted it is open to additional efforts beyond upcoming pilots, but more time would be needed to develop the ideas. SCE described the TOU Smart Thermostat Pilot that SCE ran with Nest in 2017 that did not specifically target low-income customers, and noted it could be a potential viable data point for further analysis and program design considerations. SCE explained that the data from the pilot should be available by the end of the month (2 weeks). SCE further stated that it actively seeks to enroll customers in its demand response programs and that gathering more information about 2

4 the characteristics of its low-income customers, such as the proportion of customers with a central air conditioning unit and/or access to broadband internet, would be beneficial to understanding how to best reach these customers. SCE explained that its residential demand response programs, particularly Summer Discount Program, have provided load reductions in a cost-effective manner and are also used to support grid reliability.
