16
Keys to a Successful Offer(cont.)
SCE has a stated preference to execute pro forma agreements CHP PPA was negotiated as part of the Settlement Agreement (attachment C-1) If you require modifications to the CHP PPA pro forma, begin with the SCE-specific PPA (attachment C-2) Utility Pre-scheduled Facility (UPF) Documents have been public and used extensively in SCE’s All Source RFOs (attachments D-1 through D-4) SCE seeks well developed projects. For new, expanded and repowered CHP Facilities, Offeror must show: Progress in the interconnection process or plan to obtain interconnection Projects requiring an Interconnection Study but do not have one are eligible to participate in this RFO. SCE will use the network upgrade cost contained in the project’s Interconnection Study, if study exists, otherwise we will include a termination option based on negotiated upgrade cost Other demonstrated signs of a viable project: Site control and project development plans Permitting and interconnection status Strong financial backing Realistic on-line dates and forecasted operating performance
17
Existing CHP w/PPA Wanting to Participate
Early Termination of Existing PPA (Section 2.10 of RFO Instructions) SCE encourages counterparties with an existing PPA to participate in this CHP RFO If an Offer is based upon early termination of an existing PPA, please state in the Offer Structure Letter if the existing PPA contains an early termination right and, if SCE is the buyer, what the capacity recapture payment would be GHG savings must not have been claimed by another IOU Contact SCE early if you are interested in terminating a contract early in order to participate in this CHP RFO
18
Regulatory Approval of CHP Agreement
CPUC and FERC Approval (Section 6.01 of RFO Instructions) SCE’s obligations to purchase any product under a final agreement will only become effective upon receipt of regulatory approval(s) SCE will submit all PPAs awarded in this CHP RFO for CPUC Approval SCE will submit a Tier 2 Advice Letter for Existing CHP Facilities that execute the CHP PPA without material modification SCE will submit a Tier 3 Advice Letter for all other final agreements PPAs between SCE and any SCE affiliate require approval by FERC Emissions Performance Standard (EPS) Approvals For PPAs with term length equal to or greater than five (5) years, the CPUC must make a specific finding that the PPA is in compliance with the EPS Offeror must provide information to SCE on the Offer Template, on a confidential basis as necessary, to allow SCE to make a sufficient showing of compliance with the EPS
19

Quantitative Valuation Metric –
NPV of Project/Metric Ton of GHG Reduction Costs Benefits Contract Payments Based on the contract heat rates, variable charge, and capacity prices, expected generation and contract term Transmission Cost Cost adders for required network upgrades based on the best information available (e.g., completed Facilities Study, Phase 1 Interconnection Study (or equivalent), or better, etc.) Debt Equivalence Cost Cost of contract commitments on SCE’s balance sheet GHG Cost Dependent on Seller’s allocation of GHG Compliance Costs Congestion and Losses Incremental energy cost resulting from certain resource locations. May be a cost or benefit, depending on the location. Energy Value Captures net market value of the energy including a forecast for GHG while taking into account dispatchability* of resource Capacity Value** The value of the countable Resource Adequacy capacity (see next slide for details) Ancillary Services and Real Time Flexibility Value Some level of benefit may be attributed to projects bid as a Utility Prescheduled Facility Credit/Collateral Dependent on Seller’s selection of various levels of Performance Assurance [{$PV Benefits} – {$PV Costs}] ÷ MT of GHG Reduction = NPV of Project/MT of GHG Reduction * UPF’s energy production will be determined using a production simulation model and internal energy forecasts. CHP’s generation will be determined using the expected generation information provided by each counterparty ** As-available offers will not receive a Capacity Value (RA Benefit)
29
Deriving Countable Resource Adequacy Capacity
Existing CHP Resources: RA MWs equal current Net Qualifying Capacity (NQC) For calendar year 2020 and beyond RA NQC calculated as the minimum of (average peak period energy deliveries, 100% of Firm capacity offered) New or repowered CHP Resources: For the first two years RA NQC is based on Firm capacity offered and NQC profile derived from fleet (2017 Technology Factors) After the first two years RA NQC calculated as the minimum of (average peak period energy deliveries, 100% of Firm capacity offered) UPF Offers – RA MW: RA NQC based on submitted and validated RA capacity offered
30
Qualitative Review SCE may consider qualitative characteristics when selecting projects. These characteristics may include: Projects that have the ability to increase the electrical resiliency within the Santa Barbara/Goleta region Permitting and Interconnection (Environmental & Permitting Status, Electrical Interconnection, Fuel Interconnection & Source, Water Interconnection & Source) Pre-development Milestones (Project Financing Status, Project Development Experience, Thermal Host, FERC & CA QF Standards, Emissions Performance Standard) Development Milestones (Site Control, Large Equipment Status, Reasonableness of Commercial Operation Date) Transmission area Congestion, negative price, and curtailment considerations not captured in the quantitative valuation Portfolio fit of energy, capacity, & term Offeror concentration Dispatchability & curtailability Modifications to Pro Forma Offer price in excess of public or independent data
