Assignment of Proceeding Martha Guzman Aceves is the assigned Commissioner and Michelle Cooke is the assigned Administrative Law Judge in this proceeding. Findings of Fact Increased renewable generating capacity has resulted in an imbalance in the timing of demand that risks the curtailment of renewables when demand is low but renewable production is high. Data from SCE’s proposed pilot is expected to be available in late 2019 while SCE is expected to implement matinee pricing in the form of mandatory TOU periods and an opt-in RTP tariff that incorporates discounted rates during the matinee period for all nonresidential customers in early 2019. Data from SCE’s pilot will lack statistical significance. The anticipated cost of SCE’s pilot is $400,000. Conclusions of Law The timing of and expected data from SCE’s pilot does not justify its $400,000 anticipated cost. SCE’s pilot is not necessary for the design of matinee pricing tariffs. SCE’s Petition for Modification of Decision 16-11-021 should be granted. The evaluation and design of matinee pricing tariffs should continue in SCE’s RDW proceeding, A.16-09-003, without the need for a pilot. IT IS ORDERED that: Southern California Edison Company’s Petition for Modification of Decision 16-11-021 is granted.
