Power Content Forecasting and RPS Current 33% RPS Requirement by 2020 Unknown future of 2050 RPS and milestone goals CPUC GHG Calculator (E3 1 ) Emissions Factors Utilities have ~2 year lag Climate Registry verified EF 2 4 Projected CO2 Intensity tonnes/MWh E3, GHG Calculator version 3c, worksheet tab “CO2 Allocations,” cells AH35 - AK44 PG&ESCESDG&ESMUDLADWP 20120.210.270.280.230.51 20130.20.27 0.220.49 20140.190.260.240.220.48 20150.180.250.230.210.47 20160.170.240.220.20.46 20170.160.230.210.190.44 20180.150.230.190.180.43 20190.140.220.180.170.42 20200.130.210.170.160.32 1 E3 GHG Calculator, https://www.ethree.com/public_projects/cpuc2.phphttps://www.ethree.com/public_projects/cpuc2.php 2 Natural Gas emission factors do not change significantly, using 0.00531 tonnes CO2/therm, per U.S. EIA Voluntary Reporting of GHG Program

Energy Pricing - Gas Key Drivers in California Pipeline Safety, Environmental, US/World Economy How quickly will prices rise? Large users typically procure commodity Hedging positions vary dramatically Utilities provide updates on T&D Monitor pipeline upgrade proposals 5

Energy Pricing - Electricity Key Drivers in California Gas Prices, Allowance Prices, RPS Costs Energy Info Administration Outlook 3 – 2013-2040 1.9-3.4% Annual (Newer, historically low) CPUC GHG Calculator 3 (E3) – 2008-2020 3.5-6.3% Annual (Created for CA, older data) Utilities have multiple rate changes per year Typically provide updates but not long term forecasts 6 3 Model Run Summaries from UC Davis EE Center Report – The Future of Energy Prices in California, Johnathan Cook Ph.D., http://eec.ucdavis.edu/files/02-06-2014-The-Future-of-Electricity-Prices-in-California-Final-Draft-1.pdf

Third Party Electric Power Providers DA/CCA Currently Direct Access (DA) participation is capped Legislation required with limited political interest Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) is active Marin and Sonoma are live, many others looking AB 2145 would impact new CCAs – require opt-in Every CCA and their offerings are different Provide alternative to IOU bundled service Understand pricing, content and commitment 7

Energy Efficiency Programs UC/CSU Partnership 2015 a stand-alone program cycle – mirrors 2014 2016 projected to be start of 10 year rolling cycle Opportunities for “major overhaul” Carbon based criteria for projects Flexibility to utilize non-CPUC funds Whole building EM&V Incentive structure will likely change 8
