SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY'S NOTICE OF APPLICATION
REQUESTING TO INCREASE RATES FOR LOW-INCOME PROGRAMS
FOR YEARS 2021-2026
APPLICATION No. A.19-11-004
Summary
On November 4, 2019, Southern California Edison Company(SCE) filed an application with the
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requesting approval to increase rates to fund its
Energy Savings Assistance (ESA) and California Alternate Rates for Energy(CARE) programs
for 2021 —2026. These programs are part of SCE's income-qualified program (IQP) portfolio
that offer income-qualified customers a variety of programs and services to help reduce their
energy bills. SCE seeks budget funding approval of$578.7 million for the 2021-2026 period.
This rate increase is expected to go into effect on January 1, 2021.
SCE's 2021-2026 IQP portfolio proposes to continue to provide programs that have proven
successful in the past, while implementing new, innovative programs to drive deeper energy
savings and reduce energy use. For instance:
• SCE's ESA Program will continue to help low-income customers conserve energy and
save money by providing free or low-cost energy efficient appliances and home
efficiency solutions, such as weatherization. Information on SCE's ESA Program can be
found online at www.sce.com/esap.
• SCE proposes to provide in-unit and common area energy efficiency measures, including
LED lighting, to multifamily properties using a third-party. SCE also proposes to offer
pilots that will introduce building decarbonization measures to high energy users and in
new construction of affordable housing.
• SCE proposes a workforce education and training (WE&T)program to provide technical
training and employment opportunities to residents in disadvantaged communities.
The CARE and Family Rate Assistance Electric Assistance (FERA)programs help ensure
electricity is available at affordable rates to qualifying low-income customers by providing a
discount on electricity bills. More information on SCE's CARE and FERA Programs can be
found online at www.sce.com/care.
Rate Impact of SCE's Application
If the CPUC approves SCE's application as proposed, an average non-CARE residential
customer using 550 kWh per month could see a monthly bill increase of 0.16%, from a current
monthly bill of$148.79 to $149.02.
The following table compares SCE's bundled average rates (the average rate for all SCE
customers who receive both generation and delivery services from SCE) estimated for 2021, by
customer group, to proposed bundled average rates in 2021 if SCE's application is approved by

Rosemead, CA 91770
NOTICE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY'S REQUEST FOR
APPROVAL OF ITS CARBON-FREE SURPLUS ENERGY TRANSACTION WITH
BONNEVILLE POWER ADMINISTRATION
APPLICATION NO. A.19-10-001
On October 1, 2019, Southern California Edison(SCE) filed its application with the California
Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)requesting approval for a "proof of concept" carbon-free
transaction to test a model of energy conservation transfer through the purchase in California of
surplus carbon-free energy around the clock (ATC) hydropower from Bonneville Power
Authority (BPA) and sourced from BPA's energy efficiency achievements. The transaction is
proposed for a three-year period through the end of 2021.
The "proof of concept"transaction seeks to explore whether there is a viable market for
hydropower from the Pacific Northwest derived from incremental energy efficiency(EE) savings
that can be imported without increasing emissions in other parts of the Western grid. The clean
energy imported from BPA will be sold on the California Independent System Operator
(CAISO) market, and therefore will be available to all market participants. Lessons learned from
the transaction are expected to benefit all California load serving entities by providing
information about how to potentially scale up and create a larger market for "non-traditional"
energy supply. SCE will submit a final report that includes,but will not be limited to,
information concerning the total megawatt hours of energy delivered by the transaction, (2)the
total amount of incremental emissions reductions attributable to the transaction, and(3)
information on BPA's incremental EE savings based on BPA's reported EM&V efforts; and(4)
lessons learned.
ESTIMATED IMPACT OF THIS REQUEST ON ELECTRIC RATES
This "proof of concept"transaction is expected to cost a total of approximately $9 million in
today's dollars over a three-year period through the end of 2021. Some of the costs are expected
to be offset by revenues SCE earns by bidding the hydropower into the CAISO market. The
incremental cost of the transaction is expected to be approximately $2.989 million. The
transaction could lead to a market in California for this type of product, thereby helping
1
California meet its ambitious carbon-reduction goals without increasing emissions in the Pacific
Northwest, as required by California law.l
If the CPUC approves this application, it will result in an estimated average rate increase of
0.03% over the three-year term of the transaction from 2019 through 2021.
The following table is representative of the estimated rate increase by customer group if this
application is approved by the CPUC.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY (SCE)
NOTICE OF FILING OF GENERAL RATE CASE APPLICATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SCE'S REQUESTED RATE INCREASE
APPLICATION (A.) 19-08-013
On August 30, 2019, Southern California Edison Company (SCE) filed a General Rate Case
(GRC) Application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requesting authority
to increase revenues. SCE is requesting to increase its revenues for 2021 to 2023 as follows:
2021: $1.295 billion (12.7% increase over total present rates)
2022: Additional $367 million (3.3%)
• 2023: Additional $534 million (4.7%)
• TOTAL: Cumulative $2.196 billion (7.3%) revenue increase per year over 3 years'-
Every three years, SCE is required to file a GRC application in which the CPUC sets annual
revenue levels. Annual revenue is the total amount of money a utility collects through rates in a
given year, for specific purposes. Included in annual revenue is base rates revenue, which SCE
seeks in this proceeding and pay for the costs of owning and operating electric distribution and
generation facilities (excluding fuel and purchased power-related costs).
In this GRC, SCE seeks approval to recover approximately $87 million that is, or will be,
recorded in certain non-fire-related memorandum accounts (Customer Service Re-Platform
(CSRPMA), Integrated Distributed Energy Resources (IDERMA), Distribution Deferral
Administration Costs (DDACMA), and Emergency Consumer Protections
(ECPMA) memorandum accounts). These balances are included in the proposed rate increase
outlined above.
SCE also seeks approval to recover costs recorded in the Fire Mitigation Memorandum
Accounts.2 Because 2019 and 2020 recorded costs in the Fire Mitigation Memorandum
The percentage increases represent the average increase. Individual customers may see lower or
higher bill increases due to their individual energy consumption.
z The following memorandum accounts are collectively referred to as the Fire Mitigation Memorandum
Accounts in SCE's Application: the Wildfire Mitigation Plan Memorandum Account, the Fire Hazard
Prevention Memorandum Account, the Grid Safety and Resiliency Program Memorandum Account,
and the Fire Risk Mitigation Memorandum Account.
1
Accounts are not yet known, SCE proposes in its Application to submit supplemental testimony
in February 2020 and March 2021 to facilitate review of the 2019 and 2020 recorded amounts,
respectively. When these costs are known, SCE will also separately notice customers.
WHAT THIS PROPOSED GRC APPLICATION MEANS TO YOU
If the CPUC approves SCE's request, CARE residential customers and non-CARE residential
customers who use the system-wide average of 550 kWh per month will see an average increase
of about $9.59 (or 12.8%) and $14.22 (or 12.8%), respectively, in each monthly bill in 2021.
In 2022, CARE residential customers and non-CARE residential customers will see an average
monthly increase of about $2.77 (or 3.7%) and $4.10 (or 3.7%), respectively. And, in 2023,
CARE residential and non-CARE residential customers will see an average monthly increase of
about $3.97 (or 5.3%) and $5.89 (or 5.3%), respectively. The dollar amounts and percentages
shown above do not necessarily reflect the exact changes you may see in your bill. Changes in
individual bills will depend on how much energy each customer uses.
The table below shows the proposed rate increase by customer group, based on the most recent
method approved by the CPUC.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION FILING TO CHANGE ELECTRIC RATES
FOR THE 2020 ENERGY RESOURCE RECOVERY ACCOUNT
FORECAST APPLICATION A.19-06-002
SUMMARY
On June 3, 2019, Southern California Edison Company (SCE) filed an application with the
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)requesting review and approval of its 2020
Energy Resource Recovery Account(ERRA)Revenue Requirement Forecast(ERRA Forecast
Application or Application). The ERRA Forecast Application will review SCE's estimate of
costs associated with certain aspects of SCE's business operations for the 2020 calendar year.
These costs include SCE's purchases and production of power for its customers. SCE's proposed
ERRA-related revenue requirement for 2020 is $4.363 billion and represents and a decrease of
$505.1 million in revenue for 2020 as compared to SCE's 2019 ERRA-related revenue
requirement.
ABOUT THE PROPOSAL
The CPUC has established the ERRA Forecast proceeding as the process for review and
approval of SCE's estimate of the costs for fuel that will be needed to generate electricity for all
of SCE's customers in 2020. SCE's ERRA Forecast Application also reviews the estimated costs
of power SCE purchases for its customers.
Although SCE currently estimates a decrease in its ERRA-related revenue requirement for 2020,
SCE's estimates of the fuel and purchase power costs in the Application are subject to change
when SCE submits an updated forecast to the Commission in November 2019, at which time the
ERRA-related revenue requirement for 2020 could result in a revenue increase—or a change in
the amount of the estimated revenue decrease—compared to.SCE's 2019 ERRA-related revenue
requirement. Accordingly, SCE is providing notice of the Application.
In addition to estimating fuel and purchased power costs, SCE's 2020 ERRA Forecast
Application includes:
(1)A request to approve other expenses recoverable in ERRA proceedings, such as expenses
related to spent nuclear fuel (stored nuclear fuel that has already been used); and
(2) A request to approve SCE's return of$372.9 million in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) allowance
revenues to eligible customers in 2020.
Although SCE's 2020 ERRA Forecast is proposing a revenue requirement decrease of
approximately $505.1 million compared to SCE's 2019 ERRA-related revenue requirement, a
median-usage, non-care residential electric customer will see a bill increase of$1.09 per month,
from $114.50 to $115.59 in most months of 2020 because the semi-annual Climate Credit of
$36.00 will appear only on customers' April and October bills. However, the overall aggregate
effect to residential customers, including the semi-annual Climate Credit of$36.00, is forecasted
to be a decrease in electric rates of 0.2% as illustrated in the Customer Bill Impact Table above,
and an overall decrease in ERRA-related revenue requirement in 2020 of$505.1 million.
The following table compares the impact of current 2019 ERRA rates to the forecast 2020 ERRA
rates:

If the CPUC approves this application,a t3 pical non-CARE residential customer using 550
kilowatt-hours per month could see a monthly bill increase of 51.09,from a current monthly
bill of S 114.50 to 5115.59.
The residential bill impact shows a increase instead of decrease shown in the RAR because
it excludes the semi-annual climate credit,which reflects a increase in the credit from 2019
to 2020.
This Application and the projected rate decrease described herein is a forecast and is likely
to change prior to including these costs in SCE's 2020 rates. Consistent with past ERRA
Forecast applications, SCE expects to update this Application in November 2019, so that
the latest forecast assumptions can be incorporated into SCE's 2020 rates.

NOTICE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY'S (SCE)
RATE INCREASE REQUEST FOR ITS 2020 COST OF CAPITAL
APPLICATION NO. A.19-04-014
SUMMARY
On April 22, 2019, Southern California Edison Company (SCE) filed its Cost of Capital
application (COC) Application No. A.19-04-014 with the California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC). In this application, SCE is seeking authority to establish its authorized cost of capital
for utility operations for 2020. The authorized cost of capital determines how much money SCE
is allowed to collect in rates as a return on its invested capital.
In this proceeding, SCE requests that the CPUC determine a reasonable capital structure
(financial plan), the costs of long-term debt (loans and financial obligations over one year), and
an appropriate rate of return on common equity (profit for SCE shareholders). SCE's proposal is
summarized below:
Current Cost of Capital Cost of Capital Pro osal
Cost Factors Cost Capital Structure Cost Capital Structure
Long Term 4.98% 43.0% 4.74% 43.0%
Debt
Preferred 5.82% 9.0% 5.70% 5.0%
Equity
Common 10.30% 48.0%% 16.6% 52.0%
Equity
If the CPUC approves this application, the cost of capital adopted in this application will:
• Be applied to capital investments authorized in SCE's pending General Rate Case (GRC)
application as well as other applications
• Fairly compensate SCE shareholders and permit SCE to attract capital to meet its obligations
to serve its customers safely and reliably
• Allow SCE to mitigate financial risks to SCE, including risks related to California's wildfires
Based on the rate base, should SCE's pending GRC request be adopted, the annual revenue
requirement increase for SCE's 2020 cost of capital will be approximately $1.2 billion. SCE
requests a return on common equity of 16.60% and a return on rate base of 10.96%.
• •
ESTIMATED IMPACT ON ELECTRIC RATES
The table below shows an estimate of proposed revenues and rate changes by customer group.
The percentage increase in total revenue is greater than one percent. Any revenue change
resulting from this application will reflect the actual outcome in the GRC, the cost of capital case
and other revenue changes from other SCE applications.

NOTICE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY'S
REQUEST TO DECREASE ELECTRIC RATES FOR THE 2018 ENERGY
RESOURCE RECOVERY ACCOUNT REVIEW
APPLICATION 19-04-001
Summary
On April 1, 2019, Southern California Edison Company(SCE) filed its Energy Resource
Recovery Account (ERRA) Review Application(A19-04-001) with the California Public
Utilities Commission (CPUC). The application will review a portion of SCE's ability to obtain
electricity on behalf of its customers and its ability to produce energy for its customers from
utility-owned resources in 2018. SCE's application requests CPUC approval for a decrease in
SCE's revenue requirement due to a net over-collection in five authorized SCE memorandum
and/or balancing accounts.
This application will review the following 2018 SCE information:
(1) If the delivery of SCE's electricity, both SCE owned and contracted, was compliant with
CPUC regulations;
(2) If SCE accurately recorded purchases of power and fuel in its ERRA Balancing Account; and
(3) If SCE managed its contracts with electricity producers in compliance with CPUC
regulations and reasonably operated its own generation resources.
In 2018, five authorized SCE memorandum and/or balancing accounts had a net over-collection
of funds than were necessary to cover costs! As a result, SCE is requesting a net revenue
decrease of$22.150 million. If the CPUC approves this application, customers' rates will
decrease by approximately $0.03 per kilowatt-hour.
Estimated Impact of This Request on Electric Rates
Compared to revenues as of January 1, 2019, SCE's ERRA Review application requests a system
average revenue decrease of$22.150 million, or 0.2%, beginning in 2020. For illustrative
purposes, if the CPUC approves total rates as requested in SCE's application, an average
residential electric customer using 550 kilowatt-hours per month could expect to see a decrease
of$0.20 per month, from$110.12 to $109.92. The following table shows current rates compared
to the proposed revenue and rate changes by customer group.
' The five accounts are: Agricultural Account Aggregation Study Memorandum Account;Aliso Canyon Demand
Response Program Balancing Account;Building Benchmarking Data Memorandum Account;Department of Energy
Litigation Memorandum Account; and the Residential Rate Implementation Memorandum Account.
