NOTICE OF APPLICATION OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON
COMPANY'S REQUEST TO INCREASE ELECTRIC RATES FOR THE 2022
ENERGY RESOURCE RECOVERY ACCOUNT REVIEW
APPLICATION A.25-04-001
On April 1, 2025, Southern California Edison Company (SCE) filed its Energy Resource Recovery
Account (ERRA)Review application (Application)with the California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC). SCE's application requests CPUC approval for an increase of$3.992 million in SCE's
revenue due to a net under-collection in six authorized SCE memorandum accounts. SCE would
recover this amount in electric rates beginning in 2026 if the CPUC approves SCE's Application.
Why is SCE requesting this rate increase?
SCE is required to file this application with the CPUC on April 1 of each year. In 2024, six
authorized SCE memorandum accounts had a net under-collection of funds that were necessary
to provide electric service to SCE's customers. As a result, SCE requests to recover the under-
collection.
How could this affect my monthly electric rates?
If SCE's rate request is approved by the CPUC, the average monthly residential bill will technically
increase,but not by an appreciable amount. For example, a residential customer using 500 kilowatt-
hours (kWh)per month would effectively see no change to their average monthly bill of$174.78.
This is because SCE's proposal, if approved,would only increase rates by fractions of a cent per
kWh. The following table shows current rates compared to the proposed rate changes by customer
type.

Note:the rate impact of SCE's proposal appears as$0.00 and 0.00%because the rate increases are too small to register on the
scales presented in the table.
How does the rest of this process work?
This Application will be assigned to a CPUC Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) who will
consider proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process. The ALJ 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.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY'S REQUEST TO INCREASE
ELECTRIC RATES
FOR THE COST OF CAPITAL PROCEEDING
APPLICATION 25-03-012
Why am I receiving this notice?
On March 20, 2025, Southern California Edison(SCE) filed its Cost of Capital application
(Application 25-03-012)requesting to increase its authorized cost of capital for utility operations
for 2026 with the California Public Utilities Commission(CPUC). The authorized cost of capital
determines how much money SCE is allowed to collect in rates as a return on its invested capital. ..
SCE's proposal is summarized below:
Current Cost of Capital Cost of Capital Proposal
Cost Factors . Cost Capital Structure Cost Capital Structure
Long Term Debt 4.58% . 43.0% 4.75% 43.0% :
Preferred Equity ' 6.42% 5.0% 6.95% 5.0%
Common Equity 10.33% 52.0% 11.75% 52.0%
The CPUC will 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). If the CPUC approves SCE's requested cost of capital,
SCE's authorized revenue would increase by approximately$381.6 million or 2.2%beginning
January 1, 2026. This will impact your monthly bill.
•
Why is SCE requesting this rate increase?
SCE is required to file a cost of capital application every three years unless otherwise directed by
the CPUC. Cost of capital proceedings attempt to set a utility's authorized rate of return at a
level that is adequate to enable the utility to attract investors to fulfill its public service
obligation. SCE's requested rate of return will enable it to attract capital needed to provide safe,
reliable,resilient, and ready service to its customers given that SCE faces unique and elevated
risks as compared to other investment options. The adopted cost of capital will be applied to
capital investments authorized in SCE's General Rate Case (GRC) application as well as other
applications.
How could this affect my monthly electricity rates?
If SCE's rate request is approved by the CPUC, the average non-CARE residential monthly bill
using 500 kWh per month would increase by approximately$3.59 or 2.1%per month in 2026.
The average CARE residential monthly bill with the same monthly usage would increase by
approximately $2.25 or 2.1%per month in 2026.
The table below shows an estimate of proposed revenues and rate increases by customer group.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION
Southern California Edison Company Request to Increase Electric Rates
APPLICATION A.25-03-009
Why am I receiving this notice?
On March 14, 2025, Southern California Edison (SCE)filed an application with the California Public
Utilities Commission (CPUC) requesting authorization to recover costs related to NextGen Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP)system.
SCE requests approval to recover$1.162 billion of revenues over the 2025-2032 period related to its
NextGen ERP system.SCE proposes to record the revenues in a two-way balancing account to allow for
the recovery of NextGen ERP system-related costs, up to the amount authorized by the CPUC.
Why is SCE requesting this rate increase?
The proposed funding in this application is for replacement of SCE's core ERP system that has been in
service for over 15 years and will soon be obsolete. This system is very complex and manages a vast
amount of critical day-to-day information across SCE's most central processes that are necessary for
SCE's business operations. Due to the lead time required to replace the core ERP system, and related
software applications, SCE must begin taking the necessary steps for replacement now. Funding for the
NextGen ERP system will also enable SCE to make cost-efficient upgrades to the ERP system. This will
expand SCE's operational capabilities and enable business improvements that provide grid resiliency and
customer benefits.
How could this affect my monthly electric rates?
If SCE's request is approved by the CPUC,the average residential monthly bill using 500 kWh per month
would increase by approximately$1.35 or 0.8%per month on average over the,2025-2032 period. The
average CARE residential monthly bill with the same monthly usage would increase by approximately
$0.85 or 0.8% per month on average over the 2025-2032 period.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY'S REQUEST TO INCREASE ELECTRIC RATES
APPLICATION [A.25-03-001]
Why am I receiving this notice?
On March 4, 2025, Southern California Edison Company(SCE)filed an application (A.25-03-001) with the
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requesting approval to sell SCE's Lower Tule Hydroelectric
Project(the Hydroelectric Project) located in Tulare County, California (the Application) to Lower Tule
Hydro LLC. In the Application, SCE seeks to increase its revenue by approximately $32.7M. SCE has
forecasted that the sale will save customers approximately $17.4M when compared to the costs of
continued operation and/or decommissioning.
If the CPUC approves SCE's request, it will affect your rates and bill.
Why is SCE requesting this rate increase?
• The Hydroelectric Project is not currently operational and is no longer necessary for SCE's
generation needs.
• SCE will be paying the buyer a transfer payment upon closing as compensation for assuming the
operation,maintenance and eventual decommissioning costs of the Hydroelectric Project as well
as other project liabilities.
• This sale is the lowest cost option for SCE's customers when compared to the forecasted costs of
the alternatives such as (a) repairing and continuing to operate the Hydroelectric Project and/or
(b) decommissioning the Hydroelectric Project.
How could this affect my monthly electric rates?
If SCE's rate request is approved by the CPUC,the average residential monthly bill using 500 kWh per
month would increase by approximately$0.31 (0.2%) per month in the year following the close of the
sale.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY'S REQUEST TO INCREASE ELECTRIC RATES
APPLICATION [A.24-12-010]
Why am I receiving this notice?
On December 20, 2024,Southern California Edison Company(SCE)filed an application (A.24-12-010)with
the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requesting approval to sell SCE's Irwindale Business
Center property (the Property) in Irwindale, California (the IBC Application). The IBC Application seeks
approval of a revenue increase of approximately$3.46 million,which,after taxes,will equate to a recovery
of approximately $2.49 million. While there will be a temporary increase in rates, this transaction will
ultimately save SCE's customers approximately $2.1 million per year due to decreased property-related
charges and costs.
If the CPUC approves SCE's request, it will affect your rates and bill.
Why is SCE requesting this rate increase?
• SCE is seeking to sell the Property because SCE no longer needs the Property's office space for its
operations.
• Although the sale will result in a one-time (after-tax) loss of approximately $2.49 million and a
temporary$0.01/month raise in rates,the sale will eliminate the future property taxes and long-
term operations, investment and maintenance costs for the Property. The estimated future
customer savings is approximately$2.1 million per year.
How could this affect my monthly electric rates?
If SCE's rate request is approved by the CPUC, the average residential monthly bill using 500 kWh per
month would increase by approximately$0.01 or less than 0.1%per month,in the year following the close
of the sale.

The projected rate increase described in this notice is a forecast and is likely to slightly change
depending on the month and year in which the sale of the IBC Property closes.
How does the rest of the process work?
The IBC 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, modify, or deny SCE's application. 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.
Contact the CPUC:
