FERA provides a reduced monthly discount of 18% for income-qualified households of three or more. sce.com/fera Medical Baseline Customers who use electrically operated medical devices in their homes are eligible and those enrolled will receive additional electricity per day at a discounted rate. sce.com/medicalbaseline Suspension of service disconnections for nonpayment, waiving late fees SCE has suspended service disconnections for nonpayment and is waiving late fees for residential and business customers impacted by the COVID-19 emergency. sce.com/billhelp Rate Plan Comparison Tool SCE offers several Time-of-Use rates that offer lower rates during daytime hours when people are now home. sce.com/rateplantool Budget Assistant You can also sign up for alerts if your next projected bill is expected to exceed your spending goal using SCE’s free Budget Assistant tool. sce.com/budgetassistant www.sce.com/safety/coronavirus TELEWORK/DISTANCE LEARNING OUTAGE TIPS •Make alternative plans before an outage. Check with school districts or local libraries to see if they provide or loan hotspot equipment. With social distance protocols, try to secure alternative locations, such as district local multi-purpose rooms, relative or friends’ home or a local city Wi-Fi locations. •Keep a battery charger or battery backup handy. Take advantage of SCE’s $50 rebate on SCE Marketplace for a portable battery backup or generator for your laptops, cellphone, tablets and router. •Use your cellphone as a Wi-Fi hotspot. (Check phone plan/Cellular data allotment) Learn more about how to connect to a hotspot on your iOS or Android device. https://www.techhelpline.com/set-up-your-own-internet-hotspot/, •Connect online with your cellular data. (Check phone plan/Cellular data allotment) Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom and Canvas and other learning platforms can be installed and accessed on any smart phone or tablet with cell service. 5 PATHWAY 2045 SCE’S vision to help California achieve a carbon neutral future Carbon neutrality is achieved through deep decarbonization of electricity, transportation and building electrification, and the use of low-carbon fuels Meeting California’s Climate Change Goals 6 7 California’s wildfire problem is serious and worsening. •Seven of the 10 state’s most destructive wildfires have happened since 2017 •About a quarter of SCE’s service area is located in High Fire Risk Areas •In 2020, 3.7 million acres of land have burned in California Source: www.cpuc.ca.gov/FireThreatMaps 8 OUR WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN •De-energizing power lines to prevent ignitions •Used during elevated fire conditions •Primarily impacts circuits in high fire risk areas •Use of multiple methods to notify people in affected areas before, during and after a de-energization event Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) 9 4-7 DAYS AHEAD 3 DAYS AHEAD 2 DAYS AHEAD 1 DAY AHEAD POWER SHUTOFF POWER RESTORATION PLANNING AND MONITORING OUTAGE *Erratic or sudden onset of conditions may impact our ability to provide advanced notice to customers.

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). Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) : An operational protocol that SCE implements under extreme weather conditions in order to minimize the threat of wildfires and keep communities safe from potentially dangerous situations. These types of sustained outages are temporary and usually involve situations where high fire areas are experiencing adverse weather or public safety is at risk. 11 How Do We Measure Reliability?

Call 911 immediately. •Power outages in the area may impact traffic signals so motorists should use extreme caution and treat all intersections as four-way-stops. •Remember to check emergency supplies to be sure you have a battery-operated radio, a flashlight and fresh batteries. •Use flashlights instead of candles to avoid fire hazards in your home or business. •Consider using LED light bulbs with a battery backup, which can stay on during outages. •If you’re in a vehicle with a fallen power line on it, stay in the vehicle and remain calm until help arrives. It is OK to use your cellphone to call 911. If you must leave the vehicle, remember to exit away from downed power lines and exit by jumping from the vehicle and landing with both feet together. You must not touch the vehicle and the ground at the same time. Then proceed away from the vehicle by shuffling and not picking up your feet until you are several yards away. •If you use a generator, place it outdoors and plug individual appliances directly into it, using a heavy-duty extension cord. Connecting generators directly to household circuits creates “backfeed,” which is dangerous to repair crews. Please consult the manufacturer’s manual for operating the generator. •If someone in your home is dependent on electric-powered, life-sustaining medical equipment, have an emergency plan that includes a back-up power source, or make arrangements to relocate. •Do not use outdoor cooking equipment to cook indoors. Such equipment can release carbon monoxide and other toxic gases. •Use stairs instead of an elevator.Elevators are powered by electricity and may stop functioning during an outage. Be safe by taking the stairs and use a flashlight when necessary. •For more information, visit sce.com/outagetips 23 24 GIVE FEEDBACK SIGN UP BE PREPARED •Provide us your feedback or questions thorough the email above •PSPS alerts •SCE’s Medical Baseline program •SCE programs and rebates •Be prepared with a safety preparedness plan, some basic supplies and advance planning •Power outage tips Website: sce.com Social Media: @SCE on Twitter & Facebook SCE Customer Support: 1-800-655-4555
