• Examples of when Account Management should contact us:
– Does the customer have significant interest in Self Generation?
– Does the customer have a corporate initiative to “go green” by installing renewable generation?
– Is the customer discussing Self Generation with vendors?
– Is the customer inquiring about rebates (Self Generation Incentive Program and
California Solar Initiative)?
– Is the customer receiving proposals for self-generation?
• Important Reminders:
– The Customer Generation team cannot perform Engineering Economic Analyses if the customer has a signed contract or letter of intent (LOI)
– Customer must provide a copy of the generation proposal before work can begin

• Provides Opportunity to Discuss:
– Current customer needs and issues
– Details of customer’s operation
– Tariff changes/issues
– Generation costs, risks, and benefits
– Energy Efficiency programs and incentives
• More Important Reminders:
– SCE is neutral overall regarding Self Generation
– SCE does not promote or discourage Self Generation
– SCE recommends that customers pursue EE/DR first

• Energy conversion using fuel such as hydrogen and natural gas without a combustion process
• Environmentally benign
• Range in size from 200 to 2,800 kW
(typical installation – may be stacked to configure any desired size)
• Potential for cogeneration
• Installed costs range
$6,000-$8,500/kW
• Heat Rate at full capacity
8,000-9,500 Btu/kWh
(most efficient DG Technology)

• Photovoltaics • Operating principle is conversion of sunlight directly to electricity
• Simple off-grid systems include PV modules, batteries, mounting structure, and associated wiring
• Environmentally benign
• Range in size from 10 to 1,000 kW
(typical installation – modules may be linked to configure any desired size)
• No cogeneration potential
• Installed costs range
$4,500-$7,500/kW
SM

• Wind Turbines
• Operating principle is conversion of the wind’s energy to electricity
• Typically wind turbines are rotating blades installed in areas with high, steady winds
• Each wind turbine range in size from
10 to 1,000 kW (individual turbines may be connected to produce a wind farm to yield a much larger capacity)
• No cogeneration potential
• Installed costs range $850-$2,500/kW

• The California Solar Initiative (CSI) program is designed to provide incentives for the installation and operation of solar photovoltaic (PV) projects
– Authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and Senate Bill 1 (SB 1)
– The CSI program has a total budget of $2.165 billion to be used over 10 years (SCE has been allocated $996 million)
• Beginning on January 1, 2007, the CSI program pays:
– Performance-based incentives (PBI) for solar projects equal to or greater than 30 kilowatts (kW),
• Monthly payments based on recorded kilowatt hours (kWh) of solar power produced over a 5-year period.
– Expected performance-based buy down (EPBB) incentives to solar projects less than 30 kW
• An up-front incentive based on an estimate of the system's future performance
• Incentives as of June 22, 2012:
