Intelligently Connecting Edison to our Customers

• Enable Energy Smart Customers– Integrated information from utility– Payment options (e.g., pre-payment)– Outage & service condition information– Support rate option innovations

• Manage Distributed Resources– Economic dispatch of load resources– Dispatch of load for grid management– Intelligent net metering– Management of distributed energy resources

• Operational Efficiencies– Field communication links to distribution– Revenue cycle improvements– Situational data in near real-time– Wholesale - retail markets integration

• Built with the future in mind– Upgradeable WAN/HAN communications– Leverage open architecture principles in system

design – Future customer service offerings

SCE seeks to leverage a 2-way communications infrastructure with 5 million intelligent metering devices on our distribution network to create lasting value for our customers and our operations

SCE Aug., 2005 Supplemental Testimony supporting Phase I

AMI Program is employing a multi-phased approach to development and deployment of a next generation advanced metering infrastructure over a 7 ½ year timeframe.

• Address fundamental cost drivers from last business case

• Add functionality to system:– Maximize the potential value from load control

for both grid reliability and demand response– Increase field automation and efficiency

• Identify additional uses for system based on tangible customer and SCE business value

Business Use Cases (Scenarios)

---Distribution operator locates outage using AMI data and restores service

Multiple clients use the AMI system to read data from devices at customer site

Meter reading for gas & water utilities

Utility upgrades AMI system to address future requirements

--Customer provides distributed generation

Customer uses pre-payment services

Utility detects tampering or theft at customer site

Utility maintains the AMI system over its entire life-cycle

-Utility procures energy and settles wholesale transactions using data from the AMI system

Distribution operators optimize network based on data collected by the AMI system

Customer reads recent energy usage and cost at site

Utility remotely limits or connects/ disconnects customer

Utility installs, provision and configure the AMI system

AMI system recovers after power outage, communications or equipment failure

Real-time operations curtails (or limits) load for economic dispatch (ES&M)

Distribution operator curtails customer load for grid management

Customer reduces demand in response to pricing event

Multiple clients read demand and energy data automatically from customer premises
