Pathway 2045:
Key steps California must take to reach carbon neutrality
Creating a Clean Energy Future
3 100% of grid sales with carbon-free electricity
80 GW of utility-scale clean generation
30 GW of utility-scale energy storage
70% of all buildings will use efficient electric space and water heating 90% fewer GHG emissions from all-electric homes
26 million electric vehicles
Over 1 million electrified medium and heavy duty vehicles 50% reduction in natural gas consumption
40% of the remaining natural gas is biomethane and hydrogen

5 What is Reliability?
In simplest terms:
Having dependable electricity when you need it.
Outages:
Maintenance outages (aka planned outages)
Repair outages (aka unplanned outages)
Sustained Outage = An outage lasting > 5 minutes
Momentary Outage = An outage lasting ≤ 5 minutes
Major Event Day (MED)
Major Event Day (MED) : A day in which the daily system SAIDI exceeds a threshold value. For the purposes of calculating daily system SAIDI, any interruption that spans multiple calendar days is accrued to the day on which the interruption began. Statistically, days having a daily system SAIDI greater than a threshold value are days on which the energy delivery system experienced stresses beyond that normally expected (such as severe weather). MEDs are sometimes excluded in reporting; in those reports the exclusions will be noted.

Equipment Failure In-service failure of transformer, switch, or conductors
Vegetation/Animal A tree branch, rodent, or bird causing a short circuit between conductors
Other The circuit was patrolled but no cause found
Operations SCE performed urgent maintenance without the standard 3-day notice
3rd Party Outage caused by a balloon, car hit pole or dig-in

14 The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, (IIJA)
What is IIJA funding?
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) provides significant new funding to improve the condition of infrastructure systems across the country.
SCE is excited to share that the federal government recently released three grant opportunities for transportation electrification projects with applications due in May 2022:
2022 Port Infrastructure Development Program ($450 million, application due May 16, 2022) Low or No Emission Grant Program ($1.1 billion, application due May 31, 2022) Buses and Bus Facilities Competitive Program ($372 million, application due May 31, 2022) 15 15
CARE and FERA Can Reduce Your Monthly Bills
Everyday expenses affect some households more than others. Fortunately, there are two programs that may lower your energy bills:
California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) reduces energy bills for eligible customers by about 30%.
Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA) reduces electric bills for qualified households by 18%. https://www.sce.com/residential/assistance/care-fera
