NOTICE OF APPLICATION Southern California Edison Company's Request to Change Electric Rates Application A.20-10-012 Why am I receiving this notice? On October 23, 2020, Southern California Edison(SCE) filed its General Rate Case(GRC)Phase 2 Application(A.20-10-012). In this application, SCE is proposing to adopt rates that more accurately reflect what it costs to serve each customer class. This results in rates increasing for some customer classes and decreasing for other customer classes; no new costs are being proposed in this Phase 2 Application. If the CPUC approves this application, SCE will recover forecasted costs in electric rates over a 4-year period beginning the second quarter of 2022. This will impact your monthly bill. Why is SCE requesting this rate revision? In the second phase of the General Rate Case,rates are designed by dividing approved electric costs among each customer class(residential, commercial, etc.). There are no new costs proposed in this Phase 2 application. This application will redesign rates by incorporating rate changes from other SCE proceedings including SCE's Phase I General Rate Case and would be phased in over four years. How could this affect my monthly electric rates? If SCE's rate request is approved by the CPUC, the average residential non-CARE monthly bill using 500 kWh per month would increase by approximately$1.18 or 1.1%per month. Proposed Electric Rates Customer Average Rates as Proposed Average Rate Percentage Classification of June 2020111 Average Rates Change Rate Change (cents/kWh) (cents/kWh) (cents/kWh) (%Increase) Residential 20.2 cents/kWh 20.6 cents/kWh 0.4 cents/kWh 2.0% Lighting-Small 19.4 cents/kWh 18.3 cents/kWh -1.1 cents/kWh -5.7% and Medium Power Large Power 13.7 cents/kWh 14.2 cents/kWh 0.5 cents/kWh 3.6% Agricultural 15.4 cents/kWh 14.9 cents/kWh -0.5 cents/kWh 3.2% Street Eg`hting 20.4 cents/kWh 27.3 cents/kWh 6.9 cents/kWh 33.89% Standby 11.6 cents/kWh 12.2 cents/kWh 0.6 cents/kWh 5.2% Total 18.1 cents/kWh 18.1 cents/kWh 0.0 cents/kWh 0.0% 01 June 1, 2020 rates with 2021 sales forecast How does the rest of this process work? This application will be assigned to a CPUC Administrative Law Judge who will consider proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process. The Administrative Law Judge will issue a proposed decision that may adopt SCE's application,modify it, or deny it. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision with a different outcome. The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions,will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC Commissioners at a public CPUC Voting Meeting. Parties to the proceeding are currently reviewing SCE's application, including the Public Advocates Office,which is an independent consumer advocate within the CPUC that represents customers to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reliable and safe service levels.

Natural gas purchases are reviewed through a mechanism referred to as the Gas Cost Incentive Mechanism (GCIM). The CPUC authorized the GCIM as a means of encouraging utilities to seek the best rates available for natural gas. Under the GCIM, a target price is set and if the utility secures a better rate, the savings is shared with customers and shareholders. If a higher rate is paid, the utility must absorb a portion of the higher rate. SoCalGas shares the savings with its "Core" customers, that is, customers who rely on the utility for all their natural gas needs, including both gas transportation and gas commodity service. In the latest GCIM year, SoCalGas purchased natural gas at $82.0 million below the target price during the program period of April 1, 2019, to March 31, 2020. Using the CPUC's formula to determine the incentive for purchasing gas below the target price, SoCalGas is holding $12.8 million for its shareholders. This means that these purchases provided customers a benefit of $69.2 million in lower gas costs. In this application, SoCalGas requests that the CPUC approve SoCalGas' reward of$12.8 million. If the CPUC approves this request, there will be no additional change in customer rates from this application. If the CPUC approves less than $12.8 million for SoCalGas shareholders, the difference will be credited to customers through a rate decrease. If the CPUC approves more than $12.8 million for SoCalGas shareholders, the difference will be charged to customers through a rate increase. HOW WILL THIS AFFECT MY GAS BILL? A typical residential customer's average monthly bill for 33 therms of gas has already increased by 11 cents/month, from $51.42 to $51.53. A typical residential customer's monthly summer bill for 22 therms of gas has already increased by 7 cents/month, from $38.83 to $38.90. The impact on each customer and customer class has varied depending on individual usage. Based on SoCalGas' request, the rate impact for each customer class is represented below. This chart represents an increase that has already taken place on your bill due to the GCIM program. GCIM GCIM Reward Reward as % Customer Class $millions of Total Rate Residential $8.9 0.2% Commercial/Industrial $3.4 0.3% Natural Gas Vehicles $0.4 0.4% Other Core $0.1 0.5% Total $12.8 0.3% CPUC PROCESS This application will be assigned to a judge, who will consider proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process. The judge will issue a proposed decision which may adopt SoCalGas' application, modify it or deny it. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision. The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC Commissioners. The Public Advocates Office (Cal Advocates) will review this application. Cal Advocates is the independent consumer advocate within the CPUC with a statutory mandate to represent customers of investor-owned utilities to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with safe and reliable service and the state's environmental policy goals.
