2 BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Application of Southern California Edison Company (U 338-E) for Approval of its 2018 Energy Storage Procurement and Investment Plan. Application No (Filed March 1, 2018) NOTICE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY (U 338-E) OF EX PARTE COMMUNICATION WITH THE OFFICE OF COMMISSION PRESIDENT MICHAEL PICKER Pursuant to Rule 8.4 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the California Public Utilities Commission ( Commission ), Southern California Edison Company ( SCE ) gives notice of the following ex parte communication in the above captioned matter. On April 5, 2018, SCE timely provided the parties with a three-day advance notice the Commission had granted SCE s request for a meeting to discuss the projects that are the subject of the above-captioned matter. On April 10, 2018, Dawn Anaiscourt, Director, SCE CPUC Regulatory Affairs, Ranbir Sekhon, Director, SCE Portfolio Planning and Analysis, and Vibhu Kaushik, Director, SCE Grid Technology and Modernization met with David Peck, President Picker s advisor. The meeting took place at the Commission s San Francisco office from 2:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. During the meeting, SCE discussed the valuable operations of its current utility-owned Enhanced Gas Turbine (EGT) projects, as well as the potential for additional EGTs. SCE presented the document attached hereto as Attachment A at the meeting. SCE also produced its 1

3 three-day advanced notice at the meeting. It is not attached because it was already served on all parties. Respectfully submitted, JANET S.

6 Agenda 1. Background 2. Hybrid EGT Benefits 3. Performance Results 4. Next Steps

7 Background on the California Energy Market & Policy California s GHG and Renewable Energy Targets Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by % renewable energy in California, also by 2030 There is increasing need for flexible generation like the Hybrid EGT Southern California Edison 3

8 Market Benefits of Increased Generation Flexibility Increased existing Ancillary Services market participation Non Spinning Reserve Enable new higher-value market products Frequency Regulation Spinning Reserve More optimal Day-Ahead energy dispatch $/MWh Spinning Reserve Ability to respond to shorter negative and positive price spikes in Real-Time Hour Example: CAISO spin and non spin prices on October 4, 2017 Southern California Edison 4

9 Hybrid EGT Benefits Provides Greenhouse Gas Free Attributes Instant Response/Always Ready Technology 50MWs of Operating Reserve Primary Frequency Response -8 to +5 MVAR Voltage Support 134 MW-Secs Inertia Black Start Technology Enables Reduced System Costs & Increases Customer Value Optimized System Dispatch Lower System Fuel Use Lower Maintenance Costs Lower System GHG Emissions Renewable Energy Integration Increased Market Participation With Fuel Consumption 50 MWs Peaking Energy for Local Contingency 50MW 25 MWs of High Speed Frequency Regulation Demand Charge Management Self Managed BESS SOC 0 10MW 200s (5-10mins) Southern California Edison 5

10 EGT Value Projections Market Utilization and Emissions Reductions Pre-construction, the Hybrid EGT was expected to significantly reduce overall plant emissions by providing grid services such as Spinning Reserve without burning fuel Fewer Gas Turbine Starts and Run Hours Higher capacity utilization Higher value grid services such as Spinning Reserve Southern California Edison 6

11 Hybrid EGT Actual Performance Results Average Day Ahead Capacity Commitment 100% % % 0 SCE Peakers Capacity Utilization Hybrid EGT Peakers Non EGT Peakers Energy Non Spin Reg Down Reg Up Spin Compared with SCE s non-hybrid peakers over the same period: Higher capacity utilization Lower fuel gas usage Lower emissions Higher market revenues CAISO Market Results from July 2017 to Dec 2017 Southern California Edison 7

12 Next Steps SCE is monitoring the operations and market performance of the current EGTs The performance of the initial two Hybrid EGTs have exceeded expectations thus far Spinning reserve utilization higher than expected Primary frequency response performance much higher than expected The Hybrid EGT has at times responded to over 500 frequency droops in a day, helping to maintain a stable electric system frequency SCE is also actively analyzing the customer value of additional Hybrid EGT upgrades at its three remaining GE LM600 peakers Mira Loma Peaker (Ontario, CA) Barre Peaker (Stanton, CA) McGrath Peaker (Oxnard, CA) Southern California Edison 8

14 Aliso Canyon and Energy Storage On January 6, 2016, Governor Brown issued an Executive Order regarding the Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Leak declaring the situation an emergency. To address the state of emergency the CPUC issued Resolution E-4791 requiring: Southern California Edison Company to hold an expedited competitive energy storage procurement solicitation to help alleviate an outage risk during the upcoming summer and winter of SCE shall solicit infront-of-the-meter (IFOM) energy storage that can be operational by December 31, Resolution E-4791 also found it reasonable to allow the utilities to pursue proposals for turnkey project development of utility owned energy storage projects located at utility-owned sites.

18 CAISO s Duck Curve The abrupt fall-off of solar in the evening coincides with sharp rise in consumer demand, leading to the need for additional flexible generation. Southern California Edison 14

19 Hybrid EGT Recognition and Accolades The SCE-GE project is a perfect example that distributed energy resources can be used in innovative ways and still fully participate in the wholesale energy market managed by the ISO. Steve Berberich President and CEO California Independent System Operator Southern California Edison s Hybrid EGT energy storage project will allow us to increase our reliance on renewable energy, reducing smog forming pollution and combating climate change. Wayne Nastri Executive Officer South Coast Air Quality Management District To date the Hybrid EGT has won four awards: Edison Electric Institute (EEI) Edison Award Energy Storage North America (ESNA) Innovation Award South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Innovative Clean Air Technology Award Power Magazine s Top Plant Award Southern California Edison 15
