INTRODUCTION
Southern California Edison Company (SCE) owns and operates five operating gas-fired peaker
power plants (Peakers) that provide an aggregate o f 245 MW o f efficient, reliable power. Peakers serve
the electrical grid by starting and ramping to full load very rapidly, including the capability o f starting
and stopping more than once during a day. Each Peaker can reach full load within 10 minutes after
start-up and have relatively low start-up costs. In addition, these Peakers can provide “black-start”
capability in the event o f a system black-out. WP 1 & 23 WP 94-95SCE forecasts Test Year 2015 O&M expenses o f $10.450 million (2012$) to operate the five
Peakers. SCE’s capital expenditure forecast for 2013-2017 is $13.775 million (nominal dollars) for
work on the Peakers. Funding these O&M and capital forecasts will enhance the five gas-fired Peakers’
ability to: (1) provide efficient, reliable service to our customers; (2) comply with applicable laws and
regulations; and (3) maintain safe operations. This testimony supports SCE’s Test Year 2015 Peaker
O&M expense and capital expenditure forecasts.

BACKGROUND AND OPERATIONAL ROLE OF THE PEAKERS
A. History Of The Peakers
In the summer o f 2006, California experienced an unprecedented heat wave. Temperatures were
higher than those recorded in the weather model used by the CAISO based on the most relevant 30-year
history. The CAISO had predicted prior to summer 2006 that the state’s grid could accommodate
demand in excess o f 48,000 MW. However, the actual peak demand during the heat wave was 51,000
MW. CAISO did meet the demands during the heat wave; however, grid stability was a serious concern
throughout this heat wave.
In August 2006, CAISO made recommendations to the Commission about how it could meet
future demands during similar heat storms, assuming high growth in overall power demand (a situation
particularly severe in Southern California).1 Because there was no time to develop new large generation
projects, CAISO recommended that the Commission direct investor-owned utilities to develop new
generation with quick-start capability to meet peak load demands and to improve local grid stability
during critical demand periods. In response, in an August 15, 2006 directive,2 Commission President
Michael Peevey directed SCE to develop five new Peakers to be operational by summer 2007. The full
Commission approved and confirmed President Peevey’s directive on November 9, 2006 in Resolution
E-4031.3 SCE proceeded with the engineering, procurement, and construction o f the five Peakers.
These five Peakers were designed to quickly start and have “black-start” capability. The Peakers are
readily dispatchable and provide local voltage support4 to the power grid.
B. The Purpose Of Black-Start
Typically, when a power plant unit is in a start-up mode, the power grid supplies the electricity
required to operate the plant’s auxiliary equipment to facilitate starting the generating unit. However,
during a complete blackout, such as the Northeast Blackout o f 1965, no external source o f high voltage
power is available to restart the affected power plants. W ithout external power for the fans, pumps, and
See workpapers for the letter from Yakout Mansour, President and Chief Executive Officer o f CAISO, to Michael R. Peevey, President o f California Public Utilities Commission, dated August 9, 2006, which is attached to the August 15, 2006 Assigned Commissioner’s Ruling in R.05-12-013/R.06-02-013. WP 116Ibid.
A copy o f Resolution E-4031 is in the workpapers. WP 117-1274 Local voltage support is an ancillary service to maintain adequate voltage on the grid.

other power plant auxiliary equipment, most generating units are not able to start-up.5 As a result, the
plants cannot begin to start producing electricity until an external power source becomes available.
The process of starting a generating unit without an external power source is commonly referred
to as “black-starting.” Black-start capable generating stations typically receive their back-up electrical
supply from an auxiliary generator located on-site. Such auxiliary generators are usually much smaller
than the main power generating units at the generating station, and are typically fueled by natural gas or
diesel fuel. Black-starting an electrical system occurs because: (1) all local generation has “tripped” off
line; and (2) there is no means o f accessing electricity from outside o f the area. Black-start capable
generating stations are re-started first, and then these running power generating stations are reconnected
to the system grid. Power produced by the black-start capable plants (i.e., that are brought back on-line
after black-starting) is then routed to other power plants that are not black-start capable to assist in their
start-up. In this manner, CAISO can sequentially restore the grid to full power. As the generation
capacity increases, load is systematically connected to the grid and power restored to all customers.
A utility grid will typically include a number o f power plant units that have black-start
capability. Some o f SCE’s hydroelectric units are black-start capable. Prior to divestiture o f the SCE
gas-fired power plants in 1997 and 1998, SCE maintained four 130 M W Peaker units with black-start
capability. SCE divested the older Peaker units along with all o f its oil/gas fired generating units. The
black-start capability o f the older Peakers was not maintained by the new owners after divestiture and,
therefore, new black-start sources needed to be developed for SCE’s local grid system. This need was
identified in the Commission's Resolution E-4031. WP 117-127C. SCE Peaker Power Plant Locations and Technology
Each o f the five Peakers has a nominal capacity o f 49 MW. Figure II-1 below shows the
location o f the Peakers. The Peaker Division o f the Power Production Department is comprised o f the
five Peaker Units, their centralized control center and support facilities, and the employees who operate,
maintain, and manage these assets. The first four Peakers, Barre, Center, Grapeland, and Mira Loma,
began commercial operation in August 2007. Due to permitting delays the McGrath Peaker did not
begin commercial operation until November 2012.
5 It takes an external source of electricity for a power plant to start-up, before that plant can begin producing its own electricity to meets its internal plant requirements.

Figure II-2 Typical Peaker Design
The gas-fired combustion turbine drives an electrical generator, producing electricity. The
turbine consumes natural gas, air, and water, each o f which needs to be conditioned prior to use. The
local gas pipeline provides natural gas, and an 800-hp electric gas compressor is used to increase gas
pressure for injection into the combustion turbine. A portable demineralizer, consisting o f water
softening followed by ion exchange, treats water to a very high purity. Nitrous oxides (NOX) emission
controls require treated water to be injected into the turbine. The Sprint System also increases the power
output o f the turbine. The combustion turbine inlet air conditioning also uses treated water and
increases the power output o f the turbine. A self-cleaning filter removes suspended matter from the inlet
air prior to use to minimize the damage foreign matter can cause to the turbine blades.
Exhaust gases from the combustion turbine are routed to an 80-foot tall exhaust stack. Water
injection into the turbine, a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, and an additional layer o f
catalyst in the exhaust gas ducting for the control o f organic compounds rigorously control air
emissions. The SCR system reduces NOx emissions from 25 parts per million (PPM) down to 2.5 PPM
by injecting ammonia into the exhaust gas, which is stored in a 10,000 gallon storage tank. A

Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) measures and reports on the effectiveness o f the air
pollution control equipment to SCE and appropriate agencies.
Each Peaker has an electric motor-driven gas compressor to raise the natural gas pressure from
the gas pipeline pressure to the required pressure for combustion turbine operation. Each Peaker has a
645 kW auxiliary electric generator driven by a natural gas-fired reciprocating engine. These auxiliary
generators provide each Peaker with black-start capability by generating the initial power to operate
turbine start-up related equipment and other auxiliary equipment required for black-starting.
D. Expected Peaker Dispatch, Service Conditions, and Operational Limits
Peakers serve the electrical grid by starting and ramping to full load very rapidly, including
starting and stopping more than once in a day if needed. From off-line status, each Peaker can attain full
load within 10 minutes o f a start instruction. The Peakers also have relatively low start-up costs.
Utilization is based on each Peakers start-up and operating costs as compared to other resource options
and contemporary market prices, and system needs. Because o f their fast-start capability, the Peakers
can also fulfill off-line operating reserve requirements, standing ready to meet additional generation
needs caused by a sudden unanticipated loss o f generating capacity elsewhere in the system, unexpected
demand, or the power output variability o f renewable resources such as solar and wind.
The Peakers averaged approximately 20,000 total gross MW h per year, from 2008 through 2011.
Production levels then increased, as a result o f market conditions and system needs. In 2012 the Peakers
(excluding McGrath, which began commercial operation in November 2012) produced 96,494 gross
megawatt hours. During 2013, Peaker dispatch has continued to trend upward and future annual
operating levels are expected to exceed that recorded in 2012.
Renewable energy resources, such as solar and wind generation, are susceptible to large
variations in generation output. Local wind velocities peak and ebb unpredictably during the course of
the day. Likewise, solar power output varies depending on cloud cover and other weather conditions.
With their fast-start capability, the Peakers can be used to assist in leveling grid generation output when
renewable generation resources experience unpredictable variations in generation output.
The first four Peakers located in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino Counties operate
under air permits granted by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The strict
emission limitation effectively limits the allowable run hours during a 12-month period. Also the annual
number o f fired starts is limited to 200. There are many emission criteria that influence the maximum
allowable run hours, which result in a maximum annual operating level that varies from approximately

700 hours to 1,096 hours per site during a 12-month period. There are daily, monthly, and annual
emission limits for NOX, as well as monthly and annual limits for sulfur oxides (SOX). The emission
limit for SOX, which varies for each site, is the criteria that generally limit the number o f allowable
operation hours. The hours indicated are estimated according to the pounds per year o f SOX expected to
be produced at each site. The actual maximum permissible run hours at each site is determined through
measurement throughout the year o f the pollutants produced, which must be kept below maximum
permissible levels.
Inherent in the Peaker’s design, air emissions produced during the start-up o f a Peaker will
account for an appreciable percentage o f total annual emissions. The quantity o f 200 starts per year is
the maximum allowable according to the operation permits for the first four Peakers. Prior to 2012 the
starts per year did not appear to be a significant c onstraint. However, during 2012 market conditions
resulted in the Peakers starting more frequently, but having less run hours per start. Therefore, SCE is
working on additional flexibility within the existing permit constraints with SCAQMD. SCE expects a
response during 2013 and, if approved, may gain an increased number o f allowed starts per year.
Because the total annual emissions from a given unit will not be increased, an increase in the number of
starts will cause a reduction to the maximum allowable run hours. The Peakers will continue to be
dispatched in a manner that ensures the combination o f generation, starts, and service hours in any given
year will not result in any exceedences o f the air permit limits.
The McGrath Peaker in Ventura County operates under an air permit granted by the Ventura
County Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD). Like the permits granted by SCAQMD, the
VCAPCD granted a permit to operate under strict emission limits. This air permit allows for unlimited
starts, but limits the run hours to 2,000 hours per year.

PEAKER POWER PLANT O&M EXPENSE FORECAST
Labor expenses consist o f labor for all Peaker Division employees plus overtime labor for certain
Peaker staff, as well as the labor for certain support activities provided by other SCE work groups. N on
labor expenses consist o f all other costs, including repair parts, materials, chemicals, lubricants and other
expendables, contractor support, rental equipment, utilities, waste water treatment, information
technology support, vehicles, and O&M support provided to the Peakers by other SCE divisions.
The first four Peakers entered into commercial service in August 2007. The McGrath Peaker
began commercial service on November 1, 2012. SCE analyzed recorded costs for 2008-2012 to
develop a forecast for labor and non-labor O&M expense for 2015. The 2008 through 2012 recorded
O&M expense, the 2013 and 2014 forecasts, and the 2015 Test Year forecast are summarized by labor
and non-labor expenses in Figure III-3 below.

A. O&M Expense Increases Resulting From The McGrath Peaker
SCE experienced significant delays in obtaining ministerial permits for construction o f the
McGrath Peaker. As discussed previously, the first four Peakers began commercial operation in August
2007, and McGrath became operational in November 2012. The addition o f the McGrath Peaker will
cause an increase to the Peaker organization O&M expenses as compared to 2012 recorded expense.
Increased expenses include labor costs to perform operations and maintenance o f the McGrath Peaker.
The McGrath Peaker is much farther away from the Peaker Control Centers than the other four Peakers,
and as a result, the McGrath Peaker incurs higher costs than the other four units given the additional
time spent transporting staff and materials to the site. Increased non-labor expenses that result from
McGrath becoming operational include permit fees, air quality monitoring expenses, reporting and
testing expenses, chemicals and other consumables, water, water treatment and waste water disposal,
repair parts, and other items.
As discussed above in Chapter II, the McGrath Peaker encountered permitting delays and did not
begin commercial service until November 1, 2012. The McGrath Peaker construction began in
December 2011 and continued through September 2012. Throughout most o f 2012 the McGrath costs
were assigned to a capital work order for construction o f the peaker project. In September the Peaker
began operation and during September and October 2012 it operated primarily for testing purposes.
Therefore, 2012 recorded expense reflects only a fraction o f the annual incremental cost for McGrath
O&M.
To forecast the incremental cost o f a full year o f McGrath O&M expense, we reviewed the
McGrath recorded expenses during 2012. The majority o f O&M expense for McGrath occurred when
the peaker began operation in October, and commercial operation on November 1, 2012. Therefore we
attribute the McGrath recorded O&M expenses in 2012 to the equivalent o f three months o f expense.
As such, the appropriate adjustment to the 2012 recorded expense that is needed to account for a full
year o f operation is the addition o f nine months o f equivalent expense. The recorded labor expense for
three months was $99,148 with 30 percent o f that total being for operation expense and 70 percent for
maintenance expense. The recorded non-labor expense for three months was $302,786, with 50 percent
for operation expense and 50 percent for maintenance expense. These expenses were multiplied by
three to produce a forecast adjustment for the 2015 Test Year forecast (i.e., three times the three months
o f recorded expense yields an adjustment o f nine months o f additional O&M).

PEAKER O&M EXPENSE BY FERC ACCOUNT
A. Introduction
This chapter forecasts Peaker O&M expenses for Test Year 2015 by FERC account. SCE
records Peaker O&M expenses in FERC accounts 546 through 554, with the exception o f FERC
accounts 547 and 552. We have summarized the operations accounts 546, 548, 549, and 550 into FERC
account 549, Miscellaneous Other Power Generation Expenses. We have summarized the maintenance
accounts 551, 552, 553, and 554 into FERC account 554, Maintenance o f Miscellaneous Other Power
Generation Plant.
B. Peaker Power Plants O&M Expense FERC Account Analysis
1. FERC Account 549 - Miscellaneous Other Power Generation Expenses
This account includes a summary o f FERC accounts 546, 548, 549, and 550, as
mentioned above. Following are detailed descriptions o f those accounts. It is reasonable to combine
these four accounts due to their similar operational expenses.
a) Account 546 - Operation Supervision and Engineering
This account includes labor and non-labor expenses incurred in the general
supervision o f power generating stations. Labor expenses include the O&M manager and the O&M
supervisor, who supervises the control operators, and operator mechanics, who oversee the daily plant
operation. Labor expenses also include a portion o f the salaries o f the PPD home office employees who
support the Peakers and other SCE power plants. The PPD home office staff provides support for
budgets, accounting, administrative activities, environmental health & safety compliance, regulatory
compliance, long-range planning, and other activities. Non-labor expenses include reimbursed
employee expenses, SCE corporate support for various air, water, hazardous waste, and similar
regulatory activities, and miscellaneous fees. This account also includes expenses for preliminary
engineering studies, water quality and waste water laboratory analyses, and other general engineering
support.
b) Account 548 - Generation Expenses
This account includes the cost o f labor, materials and expenses incurred in
operating prime movers, generators and electric equipment at power generating stations up to the point
where electricity is delivered to the distribution system. It includes the labor costs o f the control
operators and operator mechanics that directly operate and control station equipment, as well as that o f

injection and turbine inlet air cooling, including costs to purify and treat that water prior to usage. It
also includes the costs o f air emissions control, other expenses for environmental monitoring and
reporting, and environmental permits and fees. X[7- |W P 1 -2 2
c) Account 549 - Miscellaneous Other Power Generation Expenses
This account includes labor and non-labor costs that are not readily assignable to
other operating accounts. This includes the Peaker Division management, communications and
computing equipment expenses, office supplies, labor relations expenses, reimbursable employee
expenses, safety and training costs, and Peaker facilities’ janitorial, and PPD home office support.
d) Account 550 - Rents WP 60-67This account includes the cost o f rents o f property used in connection with other
power generation.
2. Development Of Test Year Estimate for Account 549 WP 1The 2015 forecast for this account is $6.390 million, including $3.689 million for labor
expense and $2.701 million for non-labor expense. As discussed below, we use last recorded year to
forecast labor and non-labor, plus adjustments due to the start-up o f the new McGrath Peaker in late
2012. The 2008 through 2012 recorded expense history and our forecasts for 2013 through 2015 for this
account are summarized in Figure IV-4 below.

a) Analysis Of Recorded and Forecast Labor Expense
From 2008 to 2012, labor expense increased by approximately 39 percent. The
first several years o f Peaker operation led to the conclusion that additional staff was needed to promote
safe and reliable Peaker operations. In particular, the additional staff was needed to assist in complying
with the Peakers’ environmental permits and other regulatory requirements, including the first set of
newly-adopted NERC Reliability Standards. Existing staffing levels in 2012 most closely match those
required for future operation o f the Peakers, other than the adjustment needed to forecast a full year of
O&M for the McGrath Peaker. Also, in D.04-07-022 and D.89-12-057, the CPUC stated that if costs
have shown a trend in a certain direction over three or more years, the last year recorded is an
appropriate base estimate. The 2008-2012 years indicate an increasing trend for labor, suggesting use of
last recorded year. Also for this account, labor costs for 2010-2012 have been relatively stable, so the
last recorded year expense o f $3.598 million provides our base for estimating Test Year 2015. To that

base we add a forecast adjustment o f $0.091 million labor expense for the McGrath Peaker addition as
discussed in Chapter III above.
b) Analysis Of Recorded and Forecast Non-Labor Expense
From 2008 to 2012, non-labor expense decreased by approximately 37 percent.
The expense in 2008 was over $1 million higher than the following years due to higher costs
encountered for startup expenses for the first four peakers. Following a slight decrease from 2009, the
expenses were stable from 2010 through 2012. In D.04-07-022 and D.89-12-057, the CPUC stated that
if recorded expenses in an account have been relatively stable for three or more years, the last recorded
year is an appropriate base estimate. For this account, non-labor expenses for 2010-2012 have been
relatively stable, so the last recorded year expense o f $2.248 million provides our base for estimating
Test Year 2015. To that base we add a forecast adjustment o f $0.453 million non-labor expense for the
McGrath Peaker addition as discussed in Chapter III above. ^ W P 23-443. FERC Account 554 - Maintenance Of Miscellaneous Other Power Generation
This account includes a summary o f FERC Accounts 551, 552, 553, and 554, as

a) Analysis Of Recorded and Forecast Labor Expense
The recorded labor expense increased in 2009 due to filling positions for a
maintenance supervisor and a technical specialist. Labor expenses increased in 2009 due to engineering
and project activities relating to improvements done to the Peaker sites. Labor expense in 2010
remained relatively flat as in 2009, and then slightly increased in 2011 with the addition o f a Peaker
Technical Manager. Labor expenses were lower in 2012 due to construction and start-up activities at the
McGrath site, which required some labor to record to capital accounts. Maintenance labor, including
overtime costs, also fluctuated from year to year depending on equipment repair work load. In D.04-07-
022 and D.89-12-057, the CPUC stated that for those accounts which have significant fluctuations in
recorded expenses from year to year, an average o f recorded expenses is appropriate. Recorded labor
costs in this account have fluctuated from year-to-year from 2008-2012, so an average is an appropriate
base forecast. We eliminate 2008 from the average because that year did not employ the level o f
personnel required for maintenance, and therefore we use a 4-year average o f 2009-2012 for forecasting
the 2015 Test Year base forecast. To the $1.437 million base we add an adjustment o f $0.207 million
labor expense for the McGrath Peaker addition as discussed in Chapter III above.
b) Analysis Of Recorded and Forecast Non-Labor Expense
Non-labor costs recorded to this account increased significantly in 2009 due
primarily to increased contract costs related to facilities upgrades, mechanical services, and
improvements to the Peaker information systems. Non-labor remained consistent from 2010 through
2012. In D.04-07-022 and D.89-12-057, the CPUC stated that if recorded expenses in an account have
been relatively stable for three or more years, the last recorded year is an appropriate base estimate. For
this account, non-labor expenses for 2010-2012 have been relatively stable, so the last recorded year
expense o f $1.961 million is an appropriate base forecast. To that base we add an adjustment o f $0.455
million non-labor expense for the McGrath Peaker addition as discussed in Chapter III above.

PEAKER POWER PLANTS CAPITAL EXPENDITURE FORECAST
Forecast Peaker Capital Expenditures
The capital expenditure forecast for Peakers for 2013-2017 is $13.755 million. The first several
years o f operating experience with the Peakers indicated that further capital improvements would be
beneficial for SCE customers. These beneficial projects have largely been completed at the Barre,
Center, Grapeland, and Mira Loma sites. The McGrath peaker site, completed in 2012, has yet to
receive these improvement projects, and therefore, the 2013-2017 forecast includes these McGrath
improvements. In addition, the forecast includes funding for a few additional improvements at all five
Peakers, as well as funding for an assumed overhaul o f one o f the Peaker turbines. All o f these Peaker
capital projects are summarized below in Figure V-6.

i—IWP 98-100, CONF. 6-7 V ---------------------------------
1. Installation Of Back-Up Gas Compressors At McGrath Peaker Site
In order to promote reliability for both emergency and non-emergency load requirements,
a second Gas Compressor was installed at the other four Peaker locations and is now planned for the
McGrath Peaker. As part o f original construction, each Peaker location only included a single,
reciprocating type gas compressor. W henever that compressor requires overhaul or repair, Peaker
generation is unavailable at that site. It has been the Industry’s experience that reciprocating
compressors require frequent maintenance, including overhauls, and experience a higher rate o f in
service failures than rotary-screw compressors. However, the reciprocating type was selected by
General Electric as a part o f G E’s standard Peaker plant design as it is readily available at a relative low
purchase price. As explained in Chapter I, the Commission directive to SCE to install the Peakers
required the SCE Peaker plants to be procured, designed, and constructed within an extremely
compressed project schedule. Therefore, SCE procured GE’s standard design.
The compressor funded by this capital project is that same as that installed at the other
four Peakers. It is o f the rotary screw design, which has higher reliability and lower maintenance cost
than the existing reciprocating compressor. Once installed, the new compressor will be used as the
primary compressor, and the existing reciprocating compressor will become the back-up or stand-by
compressor for McGrath. The rotary compressor will improve peaker reliability as the stand-by
compressor will be available for immediate service should the primary compressor require routine
maintenance or experience a failure. Having a redundant compressor at McGrath ready for service will
facilitate availability during routine compressor maintenance so that the peaker can continue to provide a
high level o f reliability in its grid support, rapid start, and black-start roles. An economic benefit to cost
analysis was performed demonstrating the economic viability o f this project with a B/C ratio o f 1.1. For
further information and details o f the analyses, refer to the workpapers that accompany this section. The
forecast cost o f this project is $3.5 million, with $1.0 million in 2013, and $2.5 million in 2014.
2. Construct Multi-Purpose Building At McGrath Peaker Site WP 115To facilitate outage maintenance, parts storage, and routine O&M functions, a
multipurpose building was constructed at the four original Peaker sites. The basis for this cost estimate
is the amount o f the Purchase Order awarded to the architect and construction contractors supporting
this work, plus SCE’s estimate for other related work and materials. The McGrath Peaker building
construction is planned after the building permit has been received. The multi-purpose building includes
a small instrument test shop and a maintenance bay for inspection and repair o f plant equipment. The

building also provides a modest lunchroom, a res troom facility, and a small parts storage room. The
forecast cost o f this project is $2.600 million, with construction planned in 2015.
3. Major Overhaul Of One Combustion Turbine
The Peaker capital forecast predicts that one major turbine overhaul will be needed for
the five Peakers within the next five years. Major turbine replacement parts are recorded as capital
expenditures in accordance with SCE’s accounting procedures. For purposes o f the forecast, this
expenditure is assumed to occur in 2017. The forecast cost o f the overhaul is $2.600 million, based on
information furnished by General Electric. To reduce outage time, SCE’s Peaker spare combustion
turbine, purchased in 2007, would be installed while the combustion turbine needing repair is being
overhauled. W ith a fleet o f five Peakers, four o f them having entered service in 2007, SCE concludes it
is reasonable to assume that at least one Peaker will require a major overhaul by 2017 year end.
4. Install Variable Inlet Guide Vanes On Four Peakers WP 101This project funds the upgrade for four o f the Peaker combustion turbines. The upgrades
consist o f the installation o f variable inlet guide vanes (VIGV) to better control inlet air flow to the
turbine. Such an upgrade will allow the Peakers to be operated at lower MW power output loads with
greater efficiency than currently capable (General Electric estimates an efficiency increase o f 2 percent).
The turbine upgrades would be installed beginning in 2016. The forecast includes the cost o f upgrading
four Peakers for a total expenditure o f $2.600 million. This cost is based on information provided by
General Electric.
The VIGV will be installed in the air intake o f the gas turbine to direct and control
airflow into the engine. These vanes act like a throttle to control the fuel-to-air ratio into the gas turbine,
much like the function o f a carburetor on a car engine. The modulation o f the fuel-to-air ratio results in
increased efficiency and provides for more efficient operation at lower loads, thereby resulting in a
generating resource that functions over a wider load range. This enhanced operating range improves
Peaker dispatch and provides for more flexibility in grid generation resource planning.
W ith the installation o f Variable IGVs, the Peakers can be more readily dispatched
because o f greater flexibility o f operations. The Peaker MW output can be quickly and remotely
modulated to better support bulk generation planning and dispatch, local grid voltage support, and black-
start operations.
The precise benefit o f such improvements is hard to quantify at this time because o f the
inherent difficulty o f quantifying small incremental improvements to unit dispatchability and

controllability. However, SCE’s assessment is that the improvements noted above will become
increasingly valuable as additional renewable resources are added to the grid. SCE plans to install the
upgrade on the first turbine in 2016. SCE will then test and continue to evaluate the benefits and
performance demonstrated by this first installation, in order to determine the value o f proceeding with
the upgrade on additional units. If the evaluation yields positive results, then three additional units will
be upgraded.
5. Peaker Various Small Projects
This category o f projects funds numerous small capital projects, each o f which cost less
than $1.0 million. Forecast projects include a back-up air compressor for McGrath ($0.250 million),
spare transformers ($1,015 million), and other small projects ($0.918 million) with a total cumulative
forecast o f $2.183 million for 2013-2017. The capital cost estimate for each item is based on a variety
o f factors, including vendor estimates o f equipment costs and SCE’s experience with prior similar
projects. The larger individual projects are briefly discussed below.
a) Back-Up Air Compressor for McGrath Peaker
General Electric's standard Peaker design included a single air compressor for
each Peaker. However, operating experience with the first four Peakers highlighted the need to install a
second air compressor at each site so that the Peaker could still be operated whenever the compressor
was undergoing routine preventative or repair maintenance. Redundant air compressors were then
installed at the four original peaker sites. This capital forecast is to install an identical unit at McGrath.
The capital forecast for the project is $0.250 million. An economic benefit to cost analysis was
performed demonstrating the viability o f this project with a B/C ratio o f 6.4. For further information
and details o f the analyses, refer to the workpapers that accompany this section.
b) Spare Transformers for Back-Up Reliability Of All Five Peakers
W ith the completion o f the fifth Peaker in 2012, SCE reassessed its Peaker spare
part inventory, and concluded that spare transformers should be purchased for the Peaker fleet.
Historically, SCE PPD maintains common spare transformers for generating units in case o f a failure. If
any o f the three transformers located at each Peaker site were to fault, that Peaker would be out of
service until repairs were completed or another transformer was purchased and installed. Typically,
transformer lead times run 6 to 24 months. The reliability o f the Peakers will be enhanced by
purchasing one each o f a spare 66kV/13.8kV Step-Up Transformer, a spare 13.8kV/4.16kV Auxiliary
Transformer, and a spare 13.8kV/0.48kV Auxiliary Transformer. The capital forecast for purchasing the
20

1 three transformers is $1.015 million. An economic benefit to cost analysis was performed
2 demonstrating the viability o f this project with a B/C ratio o f 1.8.

As shown above in Figure VI-7, our total forecast for 2013-2017 is substantially less than
recorded expenditures during 2008-2012. This is primarily because M cGrath construction is now
complete. Also, this reflects necessary enhancements that were not addressed during the initial
expedited construction o f Peakers. These enhancements have now been completed, except for the
McGrath Peaker. The enhancements include installing a second gas compressor for improving
reliability and constructing a multipurpose building at each Peaker site for facilitating future O&M, as
discussed in section V, sub-paragraph A.2.

SCE recorded 2009 expenditures are slightly lower than adopted in the 2009 GRC, largely
because o f the delays in constructing McGrath as discussed in section III, sub-paragraph A. However,
this was partially offset by accelerating other capital work on the other four Peakers during 2009.
SCE recorded 2012 expenditures higher than adopted in the 2012 GRC, primarily due to the
McGrath project. McGrath Peaker 2012 expenditures were higher than forecasted because o f additional
legal fees associated with the city o f Oxnard’s challenge o f the McGrath Peaker construction, and
project delay costs experienced because o f these challenges. The Commission is currently reviewing the
reasonableness o f McGrath's construction cost in A.12-12-028. Our 2012 expenditures for the other
four Peakers has also slightly exceeded the adopted amount due to emerging issues. These issues
include the Grapeland Peaker Back-Up Power Supply, W estminster Emergency Generator, Control
Room Upgrades, and the McGrath Peaker Radio Base.

Analysis of Linear Trending Method:In D. 04-07-022 and D. 89-12-057, the CPUC stated that if costs have shown a trend in a certain direction overthree or more years, the last year recorded is an appropriate base estimate. The 2008-2012 years indicate an increasing trend for labor, and non-labor has been relatively stable for the 2010-2012 period, suggesting use of last year recorded. See analysis of last recorded year below.
Analysis of Averaging Method:In D. 04-07-022 and D. 89-12-057, the CPUC stated that forthose accounts which have significant fluctuations in recorded expenses from year to year, an average of recorded expenses is appropriate. Recorded labor and non-labor costs in this account have not fluctuated significantly from 2010-2012, so an average is not an appropriate base forecast.
Analysis of Last Recorded Year (2012):In D. 04-07-022 and D. 89-12-057, the CPUC stated that if recorded expenses in an account have been relatively stable or have shown a trend for three or more years, the last recorded year is an appropriate base estimate. Labor costs have shown an increasing trend in 2008-2012 and non-labor costs have been relatively stable from 2010-2012, providing the last recorded year as the appropriate base for estimating the Test Year 2015 forecast. To those bases we add adjustments for McGrath Peaker addition, discussed elsewhere in these workpapers and ourtestimony.

Analysis of Linear Trending Method:In D. 04-07-022 and D. 89-12-057, the CPUC stated that if costs have shown a trend in a certain direction over three or more years, the last year recorded is an appropriate base estimate. The 2010-2012 years do not show a trend for labor or non-labor. See analysis of averaging for labor and analysis of last recorded year for non-labor below.
Analysis of Averaging Method:In D. 04-07-022 and D. 89-12-057, the CPUC stated that for those accounts which have significant fluctuations in recorded expenses from year to year, an average of recorded expenses is appropriate. Recorded labor costs in this account have fluctuated year to year from 2008-2012, so an average is an appropriate base forecast. We exclude 2008 from our averaging analysis and use a four year average (2009-2012) because that year did not employ the number of personnel required for maintenance. To that base we add the adjustment for McGrath Peaker addition, discussed elsewhere in these workpapers and our testimony.
Analysis of Last Recorded Year (2012):In D. 04-07-022 and D. 89-12-057, the CPUC stated that if recorded expenses in an account have been relatively stable for three or more years, the last recorded year is an appropriate base estimate. Non-labor costs have been stable from 2010-2012, providing an appropriate base forecast for non-labor. To that base we add adjustments for McGrath Peaker addition, discussed elsewhere in these workpapers and our testimony.
Analysis of Itemized Forecast Method:Not applicable.

7 (a). SYSTEM SHORT TEXT Various Peaker Gas Compresssor
7 (b). DETAILED DESCRIPTION McGrath Peaker - Install Second (Redundnat) Gas Compressor of rotary screw type to function asthe primary compressor to imporve McGrath Peaker reliability and minimize compressor maintenance costs. Other four Peakers had rotary screw gas compressors installed during 2012 General Rate Case.
8. SCOPE Consists of McGrath Peaker receiving an additional rotary screw type gas compressor and theoriginal reciprocating type compressor becoming the back-up gas compressor.
9. JUSTIFICATION The Gas Compressor being funded by this capital project is of the rotary screw type which havehigher reliailbity and less maintenance cost than the existing reciprocating compressor. Once installed, the new Gas Compressor will be used as the primary Gas Compressor and the existing reciprocating Gas Compressor will become the back-up or stand-by reserve Gas Compressor for McGrath Peaker. The rotary Gas Compressor will improve McGrath Peaker's reliability, as the stand-by Gas Compressor will be available for immediate service should the primary Gas Compressor require routine maintenance or experience a failure. Having a redundant Gas Compressor at McGrath Peaker will assure McGrath Peaker reamins availalbe during routine Gas Compressor maintenance, so that McGrath Peaker can continue to provide a high level of grid support, rapid starting and black-starting capability. The other four Peakers had same type of roatry screw Gas Compressor installed at each site during 2012 General Rate Case.

Turbine Upgrade
Specific - Variable Inlet Guide Vanes contains the costs for the purchases and installation of four variable inlet guide vane systems on four Peakers. Variable inlet guide vanes provide for improved Peaker control at lower loads.
Consists of the installation of four variable inlet guide vane systems. Each inlet guide vane system consists of the acutal air inlet vanes to direct the air flow and a computer sotware to provide cane control during operation.
The variable inlet guide vanes act like a throttle to contol the fuel-to-air ratio of the gas turbine, much like the function of a carburetor on a car engine. The modulation of the fuel-to-air ratio results in increased efficiency and provides for more stable operation at lower loads, thereby resulting in a generating resource that can function over a wider load range. This enhanced operating range improves unit dispatch and provides for more flexibility in grid generation resouce planning. The two addiional gas turbines will be upgraded in 2018 after this General Rate Case.

Turbine Retrofit
Specific - Peaker Engine Major Overhaul contains the costs for the overhauling including replacement parts, testing, shipping and installation of a spare Peaker gas turbine.
Consists of overhauling a Peaker gas turbine which includes shipping one Peaker gas turbine to the nearest General Electric repair facility, replacement overhaul parts, testing and return shipping. Scope also includes the installation and testing of the spare gas turbine currently stored in the Wesminster facility.
Overhauling a Peaker gas turbine must be accomplished whenever a gas turbine fails. The overhaul turn-around time for a gas turbine can be leghty and is dependent upon the repair facility's backlog. In order to minimize outage time, a spare gas turbine stored in Westminster would be installed while the failed gas turbine is being repaired at the nearest General Electric facility. This substitution procedure would greatly reduce Peaker outage time and maximize Peaker benefit. SCE assumes that the fleet of Peakers will incur one major overhaul by 2017.

Mr. Michael R. Peevey, President California Public Utilities Commission 505 Van Ness Ave.San Francisco, CA 94102
Dear President Peevey:
The California Independent System Operator Corporation (CAISO) appreciates the cooperation and support we received from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) during the heat wave of late July, 2006. Your staff and many others worked closely with us to coordinate communications on the urgency of the situation and to ensure that we were doing everything possible to maintain reliable electric service.California successfully weathered July’s unprecedented system conditions because of help from you and others in the West.
I value the relationship that has developed between our organizations and respect the steps you took earlier this year to implement meaningful resource adequacy policies for the State. It was largely the supply requirements you adopted that gave the CAISO a reasonable level of comfort as this summer began. The weather and system conditions that we faced in July, however, were well in excess of anything previously anticipated. With that in mind, it is not too soon to begin planning for next year, which we know is likely to be an even greater challenge, especially in Southern California.
Time does not allow permitting and development of new, large projects between now and next summer. However, other options that merit our priority attention may be available. I urge the CPUC to direct the state's investor-owned utilities to use the CPUC-established and approved procurement processes to solicit a combination of quick-start generation and demand response opportunities that can be developed over the next six to twelve months to increase available supply at the peak hours and enhance grid reliability. The CAISO stands ready to support these efforts in any way possible - with the expertise of our staff or in our operations and markets, as appropriate.
Again, thank you for your ongoing support. I look forward to our continued, close collaboration in maintaining electric service reliability for the State of California.
Sincerely yours,
Yakout MansourPresident & Chief Executive Officer

PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
ENERGY DIV ISIO N RESOLUTION E-4031N ovem ber 9,2006
R E S O L U T I O N
Resolution E-4031. Southern California Edison Company (SCE) requests the Commission's approval to establish the Peakers Generation Memorandum Account (PGMA) and to revise the Generation Sub-account of the Base Revenue Requirement Balancing Account (BRRBA).
The PGMA will record the revenue requirement (i.e., incremental O&M expenses, book depreciation, applicable taxes, and an authorized rate of return on rate base) as each peaking facility is completed and closed to plant-in-service. The revenue requirement recorded in the PGMA will be transferred to the Generation Subaccount of the BRRBA on a monthly basis.
By Advice Letter 2031-E Filed on August 24, 2006.
SUMMARY
This Resolution approves SCE's request to establish a Peakers Generation Memorandum Account (PGMA) and to revise the Generation Sub-account of the Base Revenue Requirement Balancing Account (BRRBA). This Resolution also authorizes SCE to record the revenue requirement as each peaking generation plant is completed and becomes used and useful. The revenue requirement will be recorded in the PGMA and will be transferred to the Generation Sub-account of the BRRBA on a monthly basis.
BACKGROUND
On August 15, 2006, in Rulemakings 05-12-013 and 06-02-013, an Assigned Commissioner's Ruling (ACR) "Addressing Electric Reliability Needs in Southern California For Summer 2007" directed Southern California Edison Company (SCE) to, among other thing, pursue the development and installation of up to 250 MW of black-start, dispatchable generation capacity within its

service territory for summer 2007 operation. The ACR invited SCE to file an advice letter to establish a memorandum account in which it would record the acquisition and installation costs.
Assigned Commissioner's Ruling directed SCE to procure 250 MW of utility owned generation that can be online in time for summer 2007.
The ACR directed SCE to procure black-start, dispatchable generation capacity within its service territory for summer 2007 operation.
The ACR stated that it was taking these actions in response to the critical nearterm needs in southern California that was identified by the California Independent System Operator (CAISO).
The CAISO's assessm ent for the sum m er of 2006 indicated that it could handle a dem and in excess of 48,000 MW, close to w hat dem and w as forecasted to be under extrem e tem peratures that m aterialize once every 10 years, w ith lim ited to no im pact on firm load custom ers.1 H ow ever, the CAISO reports, the peak dem and during that heat w ave w as 51,000 MW, w ell above any of the scenarios it had assum ed in its assessm ent. As the CAISO notes, that w as over 12% higher than last year's record, 6% higher than the w orst case scenario the CAISO analyzed in its assessm ent, and 38% higher than the peak dem and of the crisis year 2001; it represents the dem and forecasted not to appear until five years from now. Across the CAISO's service area, w eighted average tem peratures ranged betw een 106 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit on various days, som ething California and the W est have not experienced in recent history; these tem peratures w ere higher than anything recorded in the 30-year history of the tem perature m odels used by the CAISO. [8 /15 /06 ACR]
ACR invited SCE to file an advice letter to establish a memorandum account.
The ACR noted that it did not appear possible for SCE to develop and for the Commission to consider proposals for ratemaking treatment of the costs of developing and installing the utility-owned generation prior to the time such generation would be installed. As such, the ACR invited SCE to file an advice

letter to establish a memorandum account in which it would record the acquisition and installation costs of the generation facilities.
SCE filed Advice Letter 2031-E to establish the Peakers Generation Memorandum Account.
SCE filed Advice Letter 2031-E on August 24, 2006. The advice letter sought Commission permission to establish the Peakers Generation Memorandum Account (PGMA) and to revise the Generation Sub-account of the Base Revenue Requirement Balancing Account (BRRBA).
NOTICE
Notice of AL 2031-E was made by publication in the Commission's Daily Calendar. SCE states that a copy of the Advice Letter was mailed and distributed in accordance with Section III-G of General Order 96-A.
PROTESTS
Advice Letter 2031-E was not protested.
DISCUSSION
Energy Division has reviewed SCE's Advice Letter 2031-E and recommends approval as clarified. The clarifications are needed to ensure that the Commissions direction and SCE implementation are consistent with the intent of the ACR.
The advice letter filed by SCE exceeds the ACR's directive.
The ACR invited SCE to file an advice letter to establish a memorandum account to "record the acquisition and installation costs." SCE's advice letter, in addition to establishing a memorandum account, sought authority to record the revenue requirement (i.e., incremental O&M expenses, book depreciation, applicable taxes, and an authorized rate of return on rate base) arising from with the acquisition costs, installation costs, and other related costs associated with peaking generation units and non-ISO transmission facilities upgrades associated with interconnecting the peaker units. SCE proposes to calculate the revenue requirement as each peaking facility is completed and closed to plant-in-service.

SCE further proposes that the revenue requirement recorded in the memorandum account be transferred to the Generation Sub-account of the BRRBA on a monthly basis.
SCE's filing highlights the different purpose of its proposed memorandum account. SCE proposes to use the memorandum account to record the revenue requirement associated with the peaker plants. The ACR directive indicated that the memorandum account was to record the acquisition and installation costs. The ACR did not address revenue requirement for the peakers.
SCE does not require a memorandum account to record acquisition and installation costs.
SCE states that prior to the peaker plants going into service, SCE spends the cash to construct the project and those expenditures are accumulated and tracked in a "work order" and those expenditures are recorded as an asset (Construction- work-in-progress) on the general ledger. SCE also accrues allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) associated with the expenditures in the work order. As the peaker costs are tracked in a "work order", a mechanism already exists at SCE to record the acquisition and installation costs.
SCE proposes to record $57 to $71 million of revenue requirement to the PGMA
SCE estimates that, for up to 250 MW of resources (5 combustion turbines of approximately 45 MW each), the total costs associated with the development, installation and start-up will probably exceed $250 million. As noted above, these costs will be accrued and tracked in a "work order", not the PGMA.
Based on the estimated $250 million of capital expenditures to install 5 peaking units, SCE estimates that the annual revenue requirement will be approximately $40 to $50 million. SCE proposes to record the revenue requirement in the PGMA. Assuming that the units go in-service in August 2007, the revenue requirement recorded in the PGMA in 2007 will be approximately $17-$21 million (5 month) and another $40-$50 million in 2008, for a total of $57-$71 million. Beyond 2008, the annual revenue requirement for the peakers will be included in SCE's authorized 2009 GRC revenue requirement which is currently scheduled to be implemented on January 1, 2009.

Resolution E-4031 November 9, 2006Southern California Edison Company AL 2031-E/Energy Division
SCE's advice letter filing seeks to neutralize the income statement impact once the peakers are in service.
Once the peaker plants are operational and transferred to plant-in-service, SCE starts recording depreciation, O&M, and tax expenses. Recording these expenses without a corresponding increase in revenues will result in SCE's recorded earnings to be negatively impacted. Allowing SCE to record the revenue requirement in a memorandum account without the monthly transfer to the BRRBA does not mitigate the earnings impact, as SCE's memorandum account balances cannot be recorded on the general ledger until the Commission has approved rate recovery through a balancing account. SCE's advice letter proposal to record the revenue requirement to the memorandum account with a monthly transfer to the Generation Sub-account of the BRRBA neutralizes the income statement impact. SCE is ensured that the addition of the power plants will not affect SCE's opportunity to earn its authorized rate of return.
SCE will track the revenue requirement for each unit separately.
Mitigating circumstances compel deviating from standard Commission procedure.
As described above in the ACR, unanticipated conditions occurring during the summer of 2006 have prompted the CAISO to identify critical near-term needs in southern California for summer 2007. Accordingly, the ACR directed SCE to, among other things, pursue new utility-owned peaker units with the characteristics described in the ACR that provide up to 250 MW of new generation and can be online in time for August 1, 2007. SCE would ordinarily be required to procure any such resources through a competitive solicitation, pursuant to D.04-12-048. As competitive IOU procurement processes are key elements of the Commission's procurement regime, the ACR directed SCE to promptly evaluate any offers for resources in its on-going New Generation Request for Offers (RFO) process that have the features described in the ACR and to submit any resulting contracts for Commission approval by November 15, 2006, to the extent agreements can be reached for appropriate resources. However, given the extremely limited timeframe to bring such units online, there would not be sufficient time for SCE to wait until the results of that process are known and only then initiate its development of any still-needed utility-owned generation. Nor is there sufficient time for SCE to initiate and conduct a separate RFO that would include consideration and evaluation of new utility-owned

122Workpaper - Southern California Edison / 2015 GRC - APPLICATION
Resolution E-4031 November 9, 2006Southern California Edison Company AL 2031-E/Energy Division
resources along with third party resources. In light of the foregoing mitigating circumstances, it is reasonable to permit SCE to proceed with the development of this limited amount of utility-owned resources outside of a competitive procurement process.
Additionally, allowing SCE to request authority to record revenue requirements associated with the peaker plants via an advice letter is not standard Commission practice. The advice letter process is an informal procedure. A revenue requirement request, should, under normal circumstances, be filed under an application process with its more formal procedures.
However, given that the peaker units were not forecasted in the 2006 GRC, begin accruing operational expenses by summer 2007, and that an application process may take a year or longer, there are sufficient mitigating circumstances for SCE's request.
Burden to show reasonableness of accrued costs w ill be on SCE.
SCE should be prepared to demonstrate that the accrued costs were reasonable. Accrued costs include all costs related to acquisition and installation of the peaker plants tracked through the "work order" system (estimated at $250 million), as well as the associated revenue requirement recorded to the memorandum account once the plants are in service (estimated at $57-$71 million). SCE should file an application no later than December 31, 2007 to demonstrate that the costs were reasonable.
The Preliminary Statement for the Peakers Generation Memorandum Account should be clarified.
CE should submit a substitute tariff sheet for the preliminary statement for the PGMA to clarify the purpose of the memorandum account. The currently stated purpose "to record the costs of acquisition and installation" is not correct and is misleading. SCE should properly state that the purpose of the PGMA is to record the revenue requirement associated with the peaker plants.
SCE's proposal to submit a monthly status report is welcomed.
In SCE's advice letter filing, SCE proposed to submit a monthly "Planning and Construction" Report to keep the Commission informed of the progress of the

projects. That report will include information such as the status of the projects, the costs incurred from inception to date, and any issues or concerns regarding the projects so that the Commission can provide guidance as the project advances.
The Commission endorses SCE's proposal for a monthly status report. We request that the date of August 1,2007 be identified as being the peaking generation on-line date with all corresponding progress measured to this date.
Effective date should be November 9,2006.
SCE request for an effective date of August 15,2006 is denied.
The Commission's standard practice is to authorize memorandum accounts to be effective only on or after the date on which the Commission approves them. Accordingly, we will authorize this memorandum account to be effective as of the date of today's decision. As SCE does not plan to record any amounts in this memorandum until the peaker plants are in service, there is no harm to SCE.
COMMENTS
Public Utilities Code section 311(g)(1) provides that resolutions generally must be served on all parties and subject to at least 30 days public review and comment prior to a vote of the Commission. Section 311(g)(2) provides that this 30-day period may be reduced or waived upon the stipulation of all parties in the proceeding.
The 30-day comment period for the draft of this resolution was neither waived nor reduced. Accordingly, this draft resolution was mailed to parties for comments, and placed on the Commission's agenda no earlier than 30 days from the date of mailing.
SCE provided comments on the draft resolution on October 26, 2006 to parties on service list for E-4031, R.04-04-003, and R. 06-02-013. No other party provided comments. No parties provided reply comments on the draft resolution.
In its comments, SCE requested clarifications confirming that SCE may develop up to 250 MW of new utility-owned generation as described in the ACR outside

of a competitive solicitation process, as a limited exception to the requirements ofD. 04-12-048.
Based in part on SCE's comments, the draft resolution is being modified.Modifications to the draft resolution have been incorporated throughout asreflected herein.
FINDINGS
1. Assigned Commissioner's Ruling (ACR) "Addressing Electric Reliability Needs in Southern California For Summer 2007" directed Southern California Edison Company (SCE) to pursue the development and installation of up to 250 MW of black-start, dispatchable generation capacity within its service territory for summer 2007 operation.
2. The ACR invited SCE to file an advice letter to establish a memorandum account in which SCE would record the acquisition and installation costs.
3. SCE filed Advice Letter 2031-E on August 24, 2006 to establish the Peakers eneration Memorandum Account (PGMA) and to revise the Generation Subaccount of the Base Revenue Requirement Balancing Account (BRRBA).
4. No protests were filed.5. Advice Letter 2031-E, in addition to establishing a memorandum account,
sought authority to record the revenue requirement (i.e., incremental O&M expenses, book depreciation, applicable taxes, and an authorized rate of return on rate base) arising from the acquisition cost, installation costs, and other related costs associated with peaking generation units.
6. SCE estimates total revenue requirement to be recorded in the PGMA of $57- $71 million, based on an estimated capital expenditures of $250 million to install 5 peaking units.
7. SCE proposes to calculate the revenue requirement as each peaking facility is completed and closed to plant-in-service.
8. SCE further proposes that the revenue requirement recorded in the PGMA be transferred to the Generation Sub-account of the BRRBA on a monthly basis.
9. The cost to be recorded in the PGMA is different from what the ACR directed. The ACR directed SCE to record "acquisition and installation costs" of the peaker plants. SCE filed its advice letter to record the revenue requirements associated with the peaker plants.
10. As SCE utilizes a "work order" to accumulate and track the costs associated with the peaker plants, SCE does not require a memorandum account for that purpose.

11. SCE states that once the plants are in service, SCE will begin recording depreciation, O&M, and tax expenses.
12. Recording these expenses without a corresponding increase in revenue will result in SCE' recorded earnings to be negatively impacted.
13. SCE's advice letter proposal to record the revenue requirement to the memorandum account with a monthly transfer to the Generation Subaccount of the BRRBA neutralizes the negative earnings effect caused by the peaker plants.
14. SCE will track the revenue requirement for each unit separately.15. Allowing SCE to procure utility-owned generation outside of the competitive
solicitation process and to request authority to record revenue requirements associated with the peaker plants via an advice letter is not standard Commission practice.
16. A revenue requirement request, should, under normal circumstances, be filed under an application.
17. Mitigating circumstances that require a limited exception from the competitive solicitation requirement of D.04-12-048 and standard Commission practice for requesting changes in authorized revenue requirements include: the unanticipated conditions arising in summer 2006 that prompted the CAISO to identify an urgent need for quick-start peaker units in southern California by summer 2007, the length of time for SCE to initiate and conduct a separate RFO for peaker units that would include new utility-owned resources and third party resources, the length of a formal application process associated with a revenue requirement request, the peaking units not being forecasted in the 2006 GRC, and the anticipated accrual of operational expenses by summer 2007.
18. SCE should be prepared to demonstrate that the acquisition and installation costs accrued in a "work order" and the associated revenue requirement recorded to the PGMA were reasonable.
19. SCE should submit a substitute sheet for the preliminary statement for the PGMA to clarify that the purpose of the memorandum account is to record the associated revenue requirement of the peaker plants, and not the acquisition and installation costs.
20. SCE's proposal to submit a monthly status report is welcomed.21. SCE requests an effective date of August 15,2006 for Advice Letter 2031-E.22. The Commission's standard practice is to authorize memorandum accounts
to be effective only on or after the date on which the Commission approves them.

4. SCE shall track the revenue requirement for each unit separately.5. SCE is authorized to develop utility-owned peaker units, consistent with the
requirements of the ACR and this Resolution, without using a competitive solicitation process to procure such units as required by D.04-12-048.
6. SCE shall file an application no later than December 31, 2007 to demonstrate the reasonableness of the accrued acquisition and installation costs tracked in a "work order" and the associated revenue requirement recorded to the PGMA.
7. SCE shall file a substitute preliminary statement for the PGMA to clarify the purpose of the PGMA.
8. SCE shall file a monthly "Planning and Construction" report and identify the date of August 1, 2007 as being the on-line date with all corresponding progresses measured to this date.
9. The effective date of Advice Letter 2031-E is November 9, 2006.
This Resolution is effective today.

this section, we address general principles applicable to forecasts of both
expenses and capital expenditures.8 . • • '
2.4.1. Averaging and Other Methodologies. Several different methods can be used to calculate test year estimates of
expenses. These include linear trending, averaging, last recorded year, and
budget based estimates. In PG&E's 1999 GRC, the Commission summarized
certain methodological issues as follows:
. The Commission has recognized that there are different valid and acceptable methods for accoimt-by-account forecasting test year costs in a GRC, including using a single recorded year's expenses . . . and using multi-year average recorded costs . . . . The question at hand is which of these two-methods yields the most accurate and ,reliable forecast of test year expenses. In PG&E's test year 1990 GRC . the Commission described the following criteria for developing a base estimate of test year expenses: '
• s. .If recorded expenses in an account have been relatively stable for three or more years, the 1987 recorded expense is an appropriate base estimate for 1990. . .
If recorded expenses in an account have shown a trend in a certain , direction over three or more years, the 1987 level is the most recent point in the trend and is an appropriate base estimate for 1990.
For those accounts which have significant fluctuations in recorded expenses from year to year, or which are influenced by weather or other external forces beyond the control of the utility, an average of recorded expenses over a period of time (typical four years) is a

reasonable base expense for the. 1990 test year. (D.89-12-057,34 '. CPUC 2d 199,231.) . . , '
With respect to a particular account in that GRC (Account 588), the •
' Commission went on to state:
Absent a specific explanation of why 1987 .recorded data best reflects the estimated 1990 expenses of an account with fluctuating expense levels and no discernible trends, we. find it most appropriate to use a , •four-year average as the base 1990 estimate. (Id., 238.)
' (Re Pacific Gas arid Electric Co., D.00-02-046, pp. 156-157 (quoting, •D.89-12-057,34 CPUC 2d 199).) . ' . . . '
-While the foregoing passage arose in the context of electric distributions-... .
expenses, the principles are consistent with findings the Commission has made, in
the context of other expense categories; For example, the Commission addressed
forecasting methodologies in a 1989 decision on a water utility's request for a rate
Where it is clear that there is a trend of increasing expenses which cannot be explained by inflation alone, and that such increases are , .
. necessarily incurred in providing utility service, less weight should .. be given to the constant dollar averaging method. On the other
hand, where it appears that an expense category is isubject to year-to- year variations, constant dollar averaging may be a more .appropriate method to smooth out such variations. (Re California
. W ater Service, D.89-04D60, 31 CPUC 2d 481/506.) ■ ' .
Discussion .
. The forecasting principles discussed' in D.00-02-046, D.89-12-057, and
D.89-04-060, quoted above, are generally appropriate and applicable here. Many
accounts reflect significant spending fluctuations from year to year, and in the
absence of'information to the contrary (for example/information that expenses
have been stable over time and no discernible upwards or downwards trend
increase:
