CA Energy Policy Overview
Renewable Portfolio Standards • Current Law
- 20% renewable content by 2010 - SDG&E at ~8% in 2009
• Pending Legislation - SB 14
– 33% by 2020 • Implementation Issues
- Regulatory Process - Transmission - Contract Failure
• Potential Solution - Feed-in tariff
– SB 32 pending Governor’s Actions
www.sandiego.edu/epic
CA Energy Policy Overview
Renewable Portfolio Standards • Implications for Rates
- Cost of generation - Cost of transmission - Need for firming - Reduced GHG exposure

CA Energy Policy Overview
Energy Efficiency • California’s Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan
- 25% of existing homes reduce energy 70% below 2008 levels - 75% of existing homes reduce energy 30% below 2008 levels - 100% of multifamily reduce energy use by 40% below 2008 levels - All new homes net zero energy by 2020 - All new commercial buildings net zero energy by 2030
• CPUC Efficiency Funding - $3.1 billion over 3 years - Residential retrofit program
– 20% in 130,000 homes by 2012
• CPUC Efficiency Goals for Utilities

Energy Efficiency • Implications for Rates
- Cost of efficiency programs - Reduced consumption (kWh), demand (kW) - Inexpensive GHG reduction - Fewer kWh to spread costs

San Diego Rate Projection Model
Project Background • California is currently considering a range of policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the electricity sector
• Costs of individual programs are known, but it is difficult to evaluate the combined impact on utility customers
• Each utility produces a rate forecast, but the analysis and modeling is not available for public review
• USD hired 3 well-known consultants (E3, MRW, and JBS) to develop a publicly available, transparent rate forecast tool to better inform the public process and decision-making on the range of policies being considered

Base Case Assumptions • Load Growth
- Residential – 1.6%/yr - Small comm. – 1.5% - Med/Large Comm & ind – 1.2%
• Achieve recently filed energy efficiency and demand response goals • 20% RPS • CA Solar Initiative through 2016 at current pace • Electric vehicle forecast based on TIAX study (~30K vehicles by 2020) • No new CHP incentives; SGIP expires in 2011 • CO2 $25/tonne • Retirement of key contracts
- SONGS – 2022 - Encina – 2015 - South Bay - 2012
• Revenue Requirement escalates at recent historical rates
