Background Key CPUC policy drivers Dynamic Pricing Timetable, D.08-07-045 (July 31, 2008) Adoption of DR Activities and Budgets, D.09-08-027 (Aug. 27, 2009) PG&E Rate Design Window, D.10-02-10 (Feb. 25, 2010) The Nudge - Default Peak Day Pricing for all C&I and large Agricultural SA_IDs (customers) Customers must choose TOU as alternative rate PDP comes with Bill Stabilization for 12 months Not defaulted if already on an event-based DR program Choices modeled on stated preferences from survey research Brattle modeled enrollment for 14 other voluntary non-residential DR programs. 2

Overview of Enrollment Forecasting Model Beyond 16 DR programs, other key components are Default date sequence Large C&I - May 2010 Large Agriculture - February 2011 Medium and small C&I - November 2011 Growth of Customer Population Disaggregation of customers up to 192 strata 3 Size Classes note their very different average sizes in Figure below 8 Industry Groups 8 CAISO Local Capacity Areas 4
Overview of Enrollment Forecast Model Issues in tracking all DR programs simultaneously Some programs are mutually exclusive, others are not. Concurrent enrollment numbers are tracked. Customers are fully allocated to DR programs and for choice modeling to eligible or ineligible groups Enrollment process becomes the Transition Probabilities of a Markov Chain Forecasts enrollment in a consistent way for all programs Increasing the probability of joining a given program will decrease the expected enrollment in mutually exclusive programs appropriately 5
System Modeled as a Markov Chain Timing for eligibility is tracked by 26 vintages No SmartMeter yet installed SmartMeter installed in current month Installed 13 months ago customers ready for Default Installed 25 months ago end of Bill Stabilization Transition Probabilities of Default PDP With Bill Stabilization, customers in qualified categories either default to PDP (74%), or opt out to TOU (26%). Qualified: Large, Medium and Small C&I customers and Large Agriculture customers, not on event based DR programs 12 months later, the Bill Stabilization ends and PDP choice drops somewhat (49%) and TOU grows (51%). 6

Conclusion and Discussion In Enrollment per se, event-based DR is expected to increase tremendously Large customers joining PDP this month May 2010 AMP, CBP and PeakChoice growing thru Summer 2011 Many medium and small customers joining PDP from November 2011 through late 2012 Non event-based TOU Enrollment also jumps Load Impacts per customer for each these event- and non event-based DR programs are the rest of the story 11
