SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY RELATIVE TO ELECTRICAL DEREGULATION AND POSSIBLE POWER OUTAGES Eric Little, representing Southern California Edison (SCE), briefed the Council regarding the reasons for higher load electricity interruption exposure this summer, including load growth, little new generating capacity, and more limited import availability from neighboring states. He further explained that due to the fact that loads in California have grown significantly for several years without adequate generation addition, SCE is predicting increased activation of interruptible programs for this summer and 2001. Mr. Little outlined the following notification procedures used in emergency situations: ♦ Alert — a notice issued that, according to the day -ahead forecast, operating reserves will fall below 7% ♦ Warning — a notice issued that, according to the hour -ahead forecast, operation reserves will fall below 7% ♦ Stage 1 Emergency — a notice issued when reserves fall below 7% in real-time ♦ Stage 2 Emergency — a notice issued when reserves fall below 5% in real-time ♦ Stage 3 Emergency — a notice issued when reserves fall below 1.5% in real-time Mr. Little noted that there have been no Stage 3 emergencies called this year, however, there have been thirty Stage 1 emergencies, and seventeen Stage 2 emergencies. In a Stage 3 emergency, SCE has as few as ten minutes to shed firm load. Mr. Little also discussed the approved rotating outage plan and explained how it is implemented. He reported that circuits are aggregated into groups of approximately 100MW, and each group has load dispersed throughout service territory, with customers from multiple classes (e.g. residential, commercial, industrial). Service to any one group will be interrupted for about one hour at a time, and interruptions will rotate among groups in sequence. Circuits servicing essential use customers are normally exempt from rotating outages. Following the presentation, Councilmembers asked several questions relating to anticipated outages for this year and next year. Mr. Alan Llorens, representing Edison Carrier Solutions (ECS), a division of Southern California Edison, gave a presentation to the Council explaining the services ECS supplies. He explained that ECS is a "carriers' carrier" and offers fiber optic capacity to all types of carriers. He noted that ECS provides metropolitan access in the central, coastal and southern regions of California, and offers the advantage of being a CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 299 SEPTEMBER 18, 2000 305 •m a• neutral carriers' carrier.
