• Availability of emissions permits
• Resource counting

Highlights of SCE’s Track 4 LTPP Testimony
CPUC’s LTPP Track 4 is intended to identify incremental
need due to the closure of SONGS
• SCE has requested 500 MW of initial additional authority that would
be procured through its LCR RFO
– The remainder of any Track 4 procurement authorization provided to SCE would
be purchased in a separate solicitation
• SCE has proposed to develop sites for 500 MW of contingent
generation to backstop its proposed Preferred Resource Pilot
– If needed, these contingent generation projects would be secured from the market
through a competitive process for IPP construction and ownership under a PPA
with SCE
• SCE has also proposed to contract for “options” for up to 1000 MW
of generation as a backstop for transmission development and LTPP
planning assumptions not materializing
– SCE would sign PPAs with a termination right for SCE that would cover the IPP’s
project development costs
