I. INTRODUCTION Pursuant to California Public Utilities Commission (Commission) Decision (D.) 15-07-

001 (the Decision), the Investor-Owned Utilities (the IOUs), Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E), and Southern California Edison Company (SCE) must provide quarterly updates on the progress of residential rate reform efforts and the transition to default time-of-use (TOU) rates. This update is the fourteenth quarterly report on the progress of residential rate reform (PRRR).

As directed by various decisions, resolutions and Assigned Commissioner and Assigned Administrative Law Judges’ (ALJ) Rulings, SCE’s PRRR includes updates on its Marketing, Education and Outreach (ME&O) plan, metrics, goals and strategies for residential rate reform; statistics on the number of customers currently enrolled in opt-in TOU rates; statistics on the number of customers enrolled in medical baseline, as well as outreach activities; a status update on rate comparison and online bill tools; information on bill presentment for typical customers on default and opt-in rate schedules; progress on Default TOU plans; information on ME&O expenditures and a summary of the status of the Residential Rate Implementation Memorandum Account (RRIMA) as required by the Decision.

II. MARKETING, EDUCATION AND OUTREACH (me&o) CAMPAIGN

A. Community Outreach Community-Based Organization (CBO) Outreach Strategy

As part of SCE’s strategy to increase awareness and educate customers about rates and assistance programs, the Company has implemented a bottoms-up, grassroots approach, by leveraging established relationships with more than 1,400 CBOs within our service territory as well as by participating in a variety of local events and community celebrations.

To create even tighter alliances with key CBOs, particularly those that reach critical customer segments like Seniors, Low Income, Disabled, and Multi-Cultural, SCE released a Request for Proposal (RFP) on December 10, 2018 to CBOs in its service territory and by January 11, 2019 we had received more than fifty proposals.

The RFP was also posted on several online grant boards like CA Grant Watch, Grant Select and SoCal Grants (see sample below).

Page 7: BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF ... · 1/2/2019  · Community-Based Organization (CBO) Outreach Strategy As part of SCE’s strategy to increase awareness

A-2

The RFP encouraged CBOs to submit a proposal to be eligible to receive an incentive of up to $5,000 to be paid out in four quarterly disbursements throughout 2019. The proposals provided SCE with general information about the organization which included basic demographics about their constituents as well as preliminary plans for outreach and tools in place to measure this work. SCE is in the process of scoring the proposals and will select by early February those that will be eligible to receive an incentive through our partnership, upon meeting the established requirements listed in the RFP.

The RFP selection process will highlight those CBOs that are highly interested in partnering up with SCE in order to share program information within their communities. In addition, we will continue to work with our database of more than 1,400 CBOs to identify other opportunities where SCE programs and tools can be shared with community members. We are currently working on a website that will serve as a resource center (one stop shop) for all CBOs. The objective of the site will be for CBOs to have immediate access to various tools such as program brochures, one-page guides, etc.

CBO Savings Toolkits & Community Engagement

SCE continues the distribution of its Savings Toolkit, which includes an easel-back display, brochures with information on rate plan options, low income and Medical Baseline programs. It also includes giveaways (notepads and pens). In the fourth quarter of 2018, SCE distributed over 40 Savings Toolkits. The response of the Savings Toolkits continues to be positive as they are well-received by community members who find the information easy to understand. The distribution of the Toolkits will continue in 2019 and SCE will continue to make in-person visits to these CBOs to gather feedback and seek additional opportunities to engage the audience.

In mid-December, SCE facilitated a focus group with one of our CBO partners (Set for Life) which included members of Second Baptist Church. The objective of the focus group was to gain insights to inform future outreach and help us to optimize the CBO channel.

The focus group shared that they appreciate the partnership between SCE and CBOs like Set for Life. The audience was heavily engaged throughout the session and provided feedback on the following:

Preferred communication methods - they appreciate information that is at-a-glance, bullet points and colorful graphics.

Ways to improve communication, targeted to those customers that fall within the senior segment

Continuing engagement with CBOs to relate information about SCE Programs and upcoming changes

SCE will continue to work with Set for Life and other key CBOs to develop similar focus groups throughout 2019.

Events

SCE continued its community outreach efforts by attending dozens of community events during fourth quarter of 2018. Over 70% of these events took place in hot climate zone areas and customers received information about rates and assistance programs. A list of these events is attached as Appendix A.

A-3

B. Rate Options Marketing Campaign The goal of the Rate Options Summer campaign is to generate awareness of available

residential rate plan options. This campaign, which was active from July 16 through October 29, 2018, was part of the multi-year holistic approach to creating awareness of rate plan options ahead of the 2020 rate plan transition. The campaign consisted of mass media promotion in multiple languages (English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese) that generated a total of 517MM impressions, and a dedicated interactive landing page, also available in multiple languages. Promotion channels included digital banner ads and videos, rich media, native content, transit shelters, streaming and terrestrial radio, television, social media, and billboards.

The mass media promotion drove customers to the interactive landing page where viewers were able to explore various rate plan options as well as click to the rate plan comparison tool to compare rates and/or make a rate plan switch. The landing page received over half-a-million unique views of which 15% is attributed to the combined multi-language segment. Unique click-throughs, which help to demonstrate customer engagement, totaled approximately 14,235 of which 36% is attributed to the combined multi-language segment.

The latest ME&O tracking survey results showed an increase in customer actions such as going to the website, which reported a 5-point increase over the previous survey. Also reported was a 4-point increase in customers who viewed their customized rate plan comparison. The independent third-party survey conducted by Ipsos reported SCE residential customer awareness of rate plan choices is slightly ahead of statewide and is six-points more satisfied with their rate plan than statewide. In addition, SCE is trending slightly ahead of statewide when it comes to

Page 9: BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF ... · 1/2/2019  · Community-Based Organization (CBO) Outreach Strategy As part of SCE’s strategy to increase awareness

A-4

customer actions such as motivation to reduce during peak-load and intent to reduce future peak-load.

C. Outreach for High Usage Charge (HUC) In the fourth quarter of 2018, SCE mailed 64k HUC letters to customers who were at

349% to 400% of the baseline and 24k HUC letters to customers exceeding 400% of baseline. This represents a decrease of 5% from Q4 2017. The decrease might be due to many customers already receiving their letters during previous summer months. Total letters sent in 2018 were 925,551 (456,572 Pre-breach and 468,979 Breach), vs 974,803 (522,734 Pre-breach and 452,069 Breach) in 2017.

The HUC dedicated webpage received 2.5k visits from October 1 through December 31. This shows a 23% increase compared to Q4 2017, primarily due to a general increase in traffic to the tiered rate pages. There were 3.6k phone calls to the call center in Q4, which represents a decrease of 3% compared to Q4 2017.

Data tracking shows that the high usage letters are encouraging customers to enroll in new rates and programs. Of those who received pre-breach letters from January through December, there was an incremental take rate of 0.1% for Budget Assistant, 0.4% for Medical Baseline, and 1.7% for TOU rates. Of those who received the breach letters from January through December, there was an incremental take rate of 0.2% for Budget Assistant, 0.6% for Medical Baseline, and 2.4% for TOU rates. Response to the breach letters was higher than the pre-breach.

On November 30, 2018, SDG&E filed a Petition for Modification to D.15-07-001 and D.17-07-006, citing several changed facts that call for the re-examination and ultimate removal of the HUC charge. SCE also believes the HUC should be removed due to changed circumstances including how the HUC will impact the transition to default TOU rates and will inadvertently target economically vulnerable customers. These and other points are detailed in a Response SCE will file on February 1, 2019.

III. METRICS

A. ME&O Tracking Survey SCE began conducting semi-annual (spring / fall) ME&O tracking surveys in 2016 to

assess customer awareness, understanding, and engagement with regard to Residential rate reform and the anticipated transition to Default TOU.

The latest (sixth) wave of the ME&O tracking survey was conducted in November 2018 with a total of 1,300 Residential customers (including low / moderate / high usage, CARE / FERA, NEM, and other demographic and geographic customer sub-groups), from which a properly weighted representative sample of 1,000 customers was identified. Also, 739 of the 1,000 were qualified as “Default Eligible” customers – their responses were compared to the general Residential population and used to determine SCE’s performance against the seven ME&O targets established earlier in 2018.

The next (seventh) wave of the ME&O tracking survey will be conducted in spring (April-May) 2019.

Page 10: BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF ... · 1/2/2019  · Community-Based Organization (CBO) Outreach Strategy As part of SCE’s strategy to increase awareness

A-5

Wave 6 survey results for most of the core metrics were unchanged from Wave 5 (May 2018) – and responses are comparable between general Residential and Default Eligible respondents. Key findings from Wave 6 include the following:

Awareness of Tiered and TOU Rates: Unchanged from Wave 5 – 67% for Tiered and 49% for TOU.

Awareness of Current Rate: Customers who don’t know what rate plan they are on – up slightly to 41%.

Satisfaction with Rate Plan: Less than half (47% for Tiered and 46% for TOU) have high satisfaction with their current rate plan.

Best Rate for Household: About two-thirds on Tiered or TOU believe they are currently on the best rate for their household.

Interest in TOU: Among non-TOU customers, interest peaked in Wave 4 but dropped in both 2018 waves. In Wave 6, 45% of general Residential and 42% of Default Eligible are not interested in switching to a TOU rate.

Awareness of Rate Plan Changes: 19% (down from 23% W5) have already heard about upcoming rate plan changes.

Awareness of Specifics about TOU Transition: 10% (unchanged) know that most residential customers will be transitioning to a TOU rate plan by 2021.

Reasons for Transition: 28% (unchanged) say they are aware of the reasons for the transition.

Metrics 1-6, 8: Performance against targets is unchanged for all metrics in Wave 6, maintaining Wave 5 improvements over Wave 4.

Actions Taken: One in 10 (unchanged) indicate they have taken action as a result of upcoming changes. Among those who did not take action, 34% (unchanged) intend to take action.

Summary of Selected Results from ME&O Tracking (Fall 2018)

B. ME&O Goal Targets SCE established targets for its seven primary goal metrics in Q1 2018, using the Wave 4

(Fall 2017) ME&O Tracking survey results for the subset of respondents who met the characteristics of customers eligible for default TOU (“Default Eligible”).

The table below shows updated results from the Wave 6 (Fall 2018) survey for Default Eligible customers in the study. All seven metrics held steady compared to Wave 5.

Page 12: BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF ... · 1/2/2019  · Community-Based Organization (CBO) Outreach Strategy As part of SCE’s strategy to increase awareness

A-7

SCE’s Rate Reform ME&O Goal Metrics (Fall 2018)

As a reminder: All of the metrics with percentages are based on “yes” answers to the survey questions, while the mean ratings are based on questions with a 1-10 rating scale as the basis for the answer choices.

For Metric 1, SCE is using “help you save money” as a surrogate for “mitigate electricity expenditures.” Metric 3 is a composite average rating (equally weighted) of two attribute statements related to customers’ understanding of “how electricity use can impact bills” under a TOU rate scenario. Metric 4 addresses the benefits of both reducing and shifting electricity use – a composite average rating for eight attributes (again equally weighted): four of these attributes related to “benefits of lowering electricity use” and four about “benefits of shifting electricity use to non-peak hours.”

C. ME&O Tracking Survey - Default TOU Pilot Surveys Three primary surveys – Survey 1a, 1b, and 2 – were conducted by SCE in 2018 to

measure customers’ experiences with and attitudes / opinions about the TOU Default Pilot at various points in time. Survey 1a evaluated the pre-Default experience (particularly the effectiveness of the 90/60/30-day communications sent to customers) – and was fielded from April 4 to May 6 with a sample of 2,244 Residential customers drawn from all 400,000 eligible for the Default transition (whether they actually transitioned or opted out to Tiered / chose an alternate TOU rate).

Approximately 275 surveys were completed across each of the eight Default Pilot treatment cells (4-9 vs. 5-8 peak, monthly vs. seasonal bill impacts, opportunity vs. loss aversion

Page 13: BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF ... · 1/2/2019  · Community-Based Organization (CBO) Outreach Strategy As part of SCE’s strategy to increase awareness

A-8

messaging). Results of the Survey 1a were reported to the Working Group in June – and summarized in the 12Q PRRR report.

Survey 1a was also administered to a small sample of SCE employees who were selected to participate in the Default TOU Pilot (also reported in the 12Q PRRR).

Survey 1b was conducted from June 4-27 with results received in mid-July. The study included a sample of 2,016 Residential customers who defaulted to a TOU Default Pilot rate in March and remained on the new rate when surveyed. The purpose of this survey was to assess customers’ initial experiences with the Default Pilot, and particularly their response to the two test TOU rates, the enhanced vs. basic Welcome letters, and the first months’ bills.

Results from Survey 1b were reported to the Working Group in late summer 2018 – and highlights were included in the 13Q PRRR report.

Survey 2 was conducted in October-November 2018 with results received in late December. This study evaluated customers’ longer-term, post-summer attitudes and experiences with their Default TOU rate and SCE communications. A total of 2,023 interviews / surveys were completed either by phone or web with Default Pilot customers still on the two test rates when surveyed – 1,021 with TOU-D-4 customers and 1,002 with TOU-D-5 customers. Data collection began on October 22 and ended on November 27. Survey Results were presented to the Working Group at the January 28, ME&O WG meeting and are attached as Appendix B.

Highlights from Survey 2 include the following:

Awareness of TOU (73% vs. 72%) and Tiered rates (66% vs. 68%) is unchanged from Survey 1b.

52% are aware that there are rate plans that can help them save money, down from Survey 1b. Most other specific TOU awareness-related statements are also down from the last measurement.

Almost half (46%) of the Pilot customers are satisfied with their current rate.

o However, nearly a third (31%) of customers who defaulted to TOU still do not know what rate they are on – unchanged since Survey 1b .

Only about half (48%) are aware that their household is part of the Default TOU Pilot transition.

o Among those aware, 60% knew they could make a rate choice (down significantly from Survey 1b at 65% and Survey 1a at 75%).

About half (48%) recall receiving the Summer newsletter, but only half as many (24%) recall receiving the Winter newsletter.

o Over half considered the information provided to be useful (53%) and easy to understand (56% -- up from prior Pilot communications). Less than half (44%) agree the look and feel is attention-getting.

o About one-third (35%) reportedly took action in response to the materials, up significantly from Survey 1b’s Welcome letter.

Customers still feel a need for additional information – just under half (46%) thought they received enough information about the transition.

Page 14: BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF ... · 1/2/2019  · Community-Based Organization (CBO) Outreach Strategy As part of SCE’s strategy to increase awareness

A-9

Among customers defaulted to a Pilot rate, positive feelings / emotions (among several tested) are generally increasing and negatives are decreasing.

Half have reviewed their bill since their transition to TOU.

o Most customers thought the items on the bill were easy to find (range of 89%-99%), except for info about bill protection (73%).

o One-fourth said something stood out on the new bill – 21% positive stood out and 5% negative (down from 12%).

Up significantly from Survey 1b: 48% give high ratings (% 8-10) to “how changes to current rate plans mean you could be paying more unless you adjust your usage” and 44% for “how to manage your bill on your current rate plan”.

Two in three (64% to 70%, up from 52% to 57%) have an understanding of the impacts / benefits of reducing usage, while slightly fewer (53% to 60%, up from 47% to 51%) understand the impacts / benefits of shifting usage.

About 60% of customers correctly identified the peak times as falling somewhere between 5 to 8 PM for TOU-D-5 (or 4 to 9 PM for TOU-D-4).

About one in six customers know they have Bill Protection (17%, down from 23%).

Four in 10 customers took action to shift or reduce, unchanged from Survey 1b’s “planned” actions.

o About one in six (17%) said they made energy efficiency improvements as a result of the transition to TOU.

o One in seven (14%) said they signed up for or enrolled in an Edison program since the transition.

Overall favorability toward SCE at 61% (8, 9, or 10 rating on a 10-point scale) is unchanged from Survey 1b.

D. Default TOU Pilot – Post-Transition Opt-Out or Switch Survey In late November / early December, SCE conducted a follow-up email “pulse” survey

with Default TOU Pilot customers who opted out to a Tiered rate or switched to an Alternate TOU rate post-transition (after June 1, 2018). The purpose of the study was to explore the reasons for customers choosing to make a change to their assigned Default TOU Pilot rate. Completed surveys were received from 88 Tiered Opt-Outs and 100 Alternate TOU Switchers.

Highlights from the survey include the following: Compared to the Alternate TOU Switchers, Tiered Opt-Outs are less favorable toward

SCE, had lower understanding of their bill impacts (but clearer recall of the peak hours), were less actively engaged in reducing or shifting their usage, and are much less satisfied with the Default TOU rate they were transitioned to.

There is more of an emotional intensity to the verbatim comments expressed by Tiered Opt-Outs to explain their reasons for changing than those made by the Alternate TOU Switchers.

Page 15: BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF ... · 1/2/2019  · Community-Based Organization (CBO) Outreach Strategy As part of SCE’s strategy to increase awareness

A-10

“My bill was too high” at 64% was much more likely a reason for Tiered Opt-Outs (second-highest to “My old tiered rate plan was working fine for me before” at 66%) than for Alternate TOU Switchers (38%)

The next-highest reasons for Tiered Opt-Outs was “TOU rate plan did not fit my usage patterns or the times I wanted to use electricity” (53%) and “I did not want to be moved to a TOU rate plan” (31%).

“I did a rate comparison online – and saw that there was a lower-cost TOU rate option for me” at 50% is the highest-mentioned closed-ended reason for switchers to an Alternate TOU rate, followed by “My usage patterns and lifestyle work better on a different TOU rate plan” (41%).

There were many comments about or references to EVs as a reason for selecting an alternate TOU rate.

Both groups tend to recall the pre- and post-Default communications at about the same level (Alternate TOU Switchers perhaps slightly higher).

Both groups have the same limited recall of Bill Protection – about 4 in 10 (higher than our Survey 1a, 1b, and 2 results, however).

o Reminders about Bill Protection are preferred before transition to a new TOU rate or before an expected high bill.

o Email is the preferred communications vehicle for Bill Protection reminders, followed by on the bill and / or in a separate letter or postcard.

E. Statewide TOU ME&O Evaluation – Baseline (2018 Year 1) Survey Between September 6 and October 18, Ipsos (the selected evaluator for the statewide

TOU ME&O efforts, in particular the DDB campaign) conducted the Year 1 baseline survey prior to the launch of any “air cover” communications in SDG&E’s territory or elsewhere in California. The purpose of the annual surveys is to measure specific aspects of the statewide residential rate reform campaign via customer research, and assess the achievement of the Vision Metrics per the Greenberg Blueprint related to engagement, rate choice, and action. The research will allow us to attribute changes in the Vision metrics to the effects of statewide campaign, IOU communications, or both.

For the baseline study, surveys were conducted by phone and online among Residential customers across all three IOUs. A total of 5,359 surveys were completed statewide – 1,693 with SCE’s customers (1,160 online and 533 phone). Surveys were offered in multiple languages – English, Spanish, Mandarin, and Cantonese.

Highlights from the baseline survey include the following:

About half of Residential customers statewide feel a personal connection to electricity and believe it is important to be thoughtful about and manage their usage. Likewise, about half are aware of TOU rate plans.

About one-third are aware that they have rate choices and under half are satisfied with their current rate

Page 16: BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF ... · 1/2/2019  · Community-Based Organization (CBO) Outreach Strategy As part of SCE’s strategy to increase awareness

A-11

About one-fourth say they are motivated or intend to reduce peak-hour usage or exhibit those behaviors

One-third of SCE customers agree that SCE offers programs, information and tips that give customers greater control over their electricity bill, offers rate plans that could help save you money, and is a company I trust.

CARE / FERA customers statewide have a lower understanding of peak / non-peak hours and benefits of shifting usage, but are more engaged and willing to learn. They also have high trust across all three IOUs.

o Will likely require more education on TOU and how to succeed on this rate.

o Will likely react positively to communications and make an effort to apply.

SCE’s default-eligible customers are more aware of TOU rate plans than are the non-eligible customers, but are comparable in terms of awareness of rate choices available and rate satisfaction.

NEM customers understand more about TOU rates than non-NEM customers – and they are more satisfied with their current rate. However, they are less trusting of SCE than non-NEMs.

Customers in hot and cool climate zones may be more difficult to engage with TOU messaging than those in moderate climate zones.

IV. UPDATE ON ONLINE BILL COMPARISON TOOL AND PAPER BILL COMPARISONS

A. Online Bill Comparison Tool SCE implemented the Rate Plan Comparison Tool (RPCT) in November to Residential

bundled customers. GridX, SCE’s third party vendor, is responsible for providing the rate calculations that are being used for the Customer Experience tool. Additional enhancements will be completed in Q1 2019, which includes a rate analysis experience for eligible customers with less than 12 months of usage.

Since the launch of the RPCT in mid-November, SCE does not yet have validated data available for website activity. For October through mid-November, there were 39k visits to the landing page of the online tool, with 21k customers who logged in. This can be compared to Q4 2017 (Oct 1-Dec 31), where there were 24k web visits to the online tool. Even with just partial data for Q4 2018, an increase in visits was observed. The increase was due to a general increase in use of the tool, as well as increased traffic from the TOU Benefiter Acquisition campaign in October, as described below, which provided a link to log-in information for TOU rate options through our online Rate Comparison tool.

B. Rate Comparisons Given the ALJ Ruling suspending semi-annual bill comparison letters, SCE continued its

test and learn strategy to generate awareness of time-of-use (TOU) and rate plan choices by launching another TOU Benefiter Acquisition campaign to target 290k benefiters, which also included Net Energy Metering (NEM) customers in October 2018. SCE sent two emails to 190k

A-12

customers who were benefitting on TOU, as well as a direct mail to 100k customers, with (50k) receiving a business reply card (BRC) and (50k) without a BRC. The communications displayed the best rate options for the customer. SCE also expanded direct mail to include dual language with one side in English and one side in Spanish. Communications also promoted TOU text alert sign-ups. As a result, we have included updates made from the last PRRR webinar held on November 29th, 2018. There is a take rate of 1.7%, equating to approximately 5k customers selecting to go on a Time-of-Use rate. Test results also showed customers who received direct mail had a higher response rate enrolling through BRCs. CARE customers preferred BRC versus other reply channels (approximately 55%). 18% of BRCs completed in Spanish, which shows the value of including Spanish for the communications.

V. TOU PILOTS

A. TOU Default Pilot SCE started with an initial targeted pilot population of approximately 400,000 customers

in December 2017. Of the 400,000 customers, 309,199 (77.3%) customers were defaulted to either TOU-D-4-9PM or TOU-D-5-8PM in April 2018. As of December 31, 2018, 279,004 still remain on the pilot. These customers have continued to receive post-default communications that focus on tips and solutions to help lower their electricity costs on a TOU rate. Ongoing reporting and tracking of the TOU Default Pilot customers focuses on the number of customers who remain on either of the pilot rates (i.e. TOU-D-4-9PM or TOU-D-5-8PM) or who have requested to go back to their domestic tiered rate, number of customers receiving bill protection credit, call center call volumes and dispositions and survey tracking.

1. Customer Rate Selection The table below provides a breakdown of the number of customers that were defined to

be on the pilot as of April 2018 and those pilot customers that remain on either of the two TOU default rates as of December 31, 2018:

2. Rate Selection Survey Results The TOU Default Pilot surveys (1a, 1b, and 2) are intended to assist SCE in determining

how to proceed in the full roll-out based on the different treatments that were tested and to get a better understanding of customer understanding, acceptance and satisfaction on TOU. Results from Survey 2 which was conducted in Q4 of 2018 can be found in section III.C of this report.

3. Data Visualization Dashboard Per Resolution E-4895-E, Ordering Paragraph 7, SCE was directed to implement a “data

visualization dashboard or similar tool containing metrics and tracking date for interested parties to access: SCE’s pre-default data visualization dashboard is attached here to as Appendix C

4. Evaluation of Pilot Research SCE contracted with Nexant, Inc. to conduct the evaluation of the Default TOU Pilot.

SCE has received preliminary summer load impact findings which show 1.5% peak load impact on average weekday for customers on Rate 4 (peak hours 4pm-9pm). Furthermore, on Rate 4, non-CARE/FERA customers showed a 1.6% peak load impact while CARE/FERA customers showed a 1.2% peak load impact. Customers on Rate 5 (peak hours 5pm- 8pm) showed a peak load impact of 2% on an average weekday. Non-CARE/FERA customers on Rate 5 achieved 2.1% peak load impact on an average weekday while CARE/FERA customers on Rate 5 achieved 1.5% during the same time period. These preliminary summer results were presented and discussed during the January 28 ME&O Working Group meeting.

B. New Customer Engagement Call Center Pilot SCE has been working to update potential lifestyle questions based on the available rate

options expected in 2020. The factors that seem to best define rate selection include owning solar, electric vehicle ownership, number of household member(s), being home during weekdays, and owning a single family house. SCE continues to work with an agency to develop a prototype for the online experience. SCE is planning a customer research study in Q1 2019. The goal of the study would be to measure ease of use and understandability for customers. SCE intends to share its preliminary designs and findings with the working group within the next few months. These findings will help to build out detailed requirements to support Initial Default TOU Migration (IDTM) in Q4 2020.

VI. COMMUNITY CHOICE AGGREGATORS (CCA) COORDINATION SCE met with current and future CCAs on December 19 to provide a demo of the rate

tool and discuss key decisions CCAs will need to make in 2019 before the TOU default. Attendees included Lancaster Choice Energy, Apple Valley, CCEA (Pico Rivera, etc.), Rancho Mirage Energy Authority (RMEA), Clean Power Alliance (LA County), and numerous attendees from Calpine, the billing agent. Action items for SCE were to investigate the ability for SCE to offer CCA customers’ access to the Rate Plan Comparison Tool prior to the TOU default by using SCE rates as a proxy. SCE is currently working with its vendor to determine feasibility and intends to provide CCAs with an update in Q1 2019.

VII. MARKETING AUTOMATION Per Resolution E-4895, Ordering Paragraph 3e, SCE was directed to implement a plan for

full marketing automation functionality to be completed by the end of 2018. SCE’s marketing automation technology and enablement became functional in December 2018 through the established Salesforce platform. Salesforce technology was amended to facilitate the automation of outgoing communications and the technology was piloted through a non-RROIR campaign in

Page 19: BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF ... · 1/2/2019  · Community-Based Organization (CBO) Outreach Strategy As part of SCE’s strategy to increase awareness

A-14

Q4 2018. SCE will leverage the updated Salesforce technology to interact with customers through personalized communications made possible through the automated transfer of data within the platform. SCE’s plan is to use this customer data, behavioral data, and customer journey milestones as inputs to deliver timely and contextually relevant communications.

SCE is testing a limited set of automated communications on Residential TOU Pilot customers in Q1 2019 to gather learnings that will inform the full automation plan moving forward. The objective of this test is to keep TOU Pilot customers, who have been on their current plan for over 8 months, informed about how they are doing on their current rate plan, how they can improve, and if they might benefit from a different rate (last stage of the customer journey).

The test will run a rate analysis on these TOU Pilot customers and divide them into groups based on their performance against their rate. Each group will receive an email with content and recommendations tailored to them (e.g. non-benefiters may be prompted to consider changing rates, and benefiters may be encouraged to learn other ways to become more efficient). This customer data will be migrated to an email platform (Salesforce) where email content and timing is managed. Immediately after the emails are released, the platform will track customer interaction with the emails and manage follow-up communications. Non-responding customers would be put on a path to try and drive engagement, while responders would be put on a path to provide additional information and actions.

This test will help SCE identify operational efficiencies, as well as better understand how to effectively group customers, time communications, and tailor messaging. These learnings will inform communication planning in the future.

Execution Plan The execution plan outlines the testing, technology planning, customer experience planning, and optimization enablement.

Q1 2019 --- Test automated communications with our TOU Pilot customers.

Q2 2019 – Q2 2020 --- Introduction of new/transfer customers with marketing automation communications. In addition, refine and optimize the current automation plan and build out the technical infrastructure as necessary to support it. Progressively implement automated communications to residential customers as more advanced capabilities are added.

Q3 2020 --- Prepare residential customers leading up to the TOU transition with 120 and 60-day communications.

Q4 2020 + --- Execute marketing automation plan to onboard, educate, and nurture customers after the TOU transition.

The marketing automation plan will communicate to residential customers prior to, during, and after their transition to TOU. Throughout this journey, all communications are geared to help customers understand their rate plan, feel confident they are on the optimal rate plan, and if not, help them to identify their optimal rate. This customer journey is broken into stages, each with its own respective objectives:

Page 20: BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF ... · 1/2/2019  · Community-Based Organization (CBO) Outreach Strategy As part of SCE’s strategy to increase awareness

A-15

Pre-TOU Transition (when applicable) and new/transfer customer engagement --- Generate awareness of the TOU transition and the customer’s options.

0-3 Months --- Help customers understand their rate plan, how to maximize savings, and how to read their bill.

3-7 Months --- Provide guidance to customers with high bills and educate all customers about seasonal differences in rates.

8+ Months --- Keep customers informed about how they are doing on their current rate plan, how they can improve, and if they might benefit from a different rate. On a yearly basis, provide usage/rate summary and inform customers of the expiration of their bill protection (when applicable).

Communications are aligned with each stage of the customer journey to achieve their respective objectives. Whether a communication is triggered (based on customer activity) or planned (predetermined time), the message, recommendation, and channel of delivery is dictated by a set of customer data (e.g. rate/account, demographic/psychographic data, behavioral data, usage data, and channel engagement/preference). The execution plan may be optimized in the future based on progressive learnings throughout the year.

VIII. TEXT ALERTS Through December 2018, there have been 1,239 enrollments into TOU Text Alerts. 338

of the enrollments are TOU Default Pilot customers, and 802 of the enrollments came through the Fall TOU Acquisition effort. There have been approximately 82 opt-outs by default pilot customers since the program launch.

IX. ONLINE APPLIANCE SHIFTER TOOL Through Q4 of 2018, there were 7,868 visits to the Appliance Energy Cost Estimator

Tool. The tool will be updated in Spring 2019 to include rate factor changes, the addition of EVs and the new TOU-D-PRIME rate1, and adjustments to account for appliances with usage that exceeds the number of hours in TOU peak periods.

X. APPLICATION FOR TRANSITION OF CUSTOMERS TO DEFAULT TOU A.17-012-012 filed in December 2017 is SCE’s proposal to migrate approximately 3.3M

eligible residential customers to TOU rates. SCE filed supplemental testimony in August 2018 to include additional data and pilot learnings that were not available at the time of the filing. In

October 2018, parties filed opening testimony. On December 6th, SCE filed a Motion for a Settlement on rate design matters with six other parties.2 On December 7, 2018, SCE and parties filed rebuttal testimony leading up to seven days of evidentiary hearings which took place between January 7 and January 15, 2019. Parties will file legal briefs on February 15 and reply briefs on March 8 leading to a proposed decision scheduled for June 2019.

XI. ME&O STRATEGIES ACROSS TOU & DSM PROGRAMS Per Resolution E-4895 SCE was directed to report on an annual basis in its PRRR filings,

the following additional information: (a) A comparison of ME&O strategies across TOU and Demand Side Management (DSM) programs; (b) Descriptions of strategies for aligning funding streams for default TOU and DSM programs; (c) Descriptions of ME&O cost allocation methods across programs; (d) Descriptions of examples of integrated marketing strategies across programs.

SCE routinely markets to residential customers a suite of offerings that range from rate plans, rebates and low income programs to energy management tools and conservation tips.

While all of these marketing efforts naturally have different objectives, a unified strategy coordinates them so they work together to support larger goals that ladder up to conservation, behavior change and customer satisfaction.

SCE’s overarching ME&O strategy is consistent across programs and is as follows:

1. Customer Journey. It relies on the marketing funnel as a tool that helps put into perspective the customer journey, or the path that a customer takes to become familiar with the utility’s offerings.

For instance, few customers understand today how their rates work (or what rate they’re on), including tier pricing. In fact, many customers may have the perception that they are on some TOU-like rate structure where they benefit from using appliances in the evening.

Recognizing the wide-spread confusion that exists, and in preparation for broad-scale default of residential customers to TOU in 2020, SCE implemented an awareness campaign (upper funnel) that utilizes mass media to reach a broad audience to begin the process to educate customers so that they can make an informed decision when it’s time for their transition to TOU.

In support of SCE’s DSM portfolio, our ME&O is primarily designed to reach customers who are further within the marketing funnel and are focused on driving action. For instance, in preparation for the summer season, we isolate those customers who have a swimming pool, educate them about the benefits of a variable speed pump and encourage their enrollment. This call-to-action is doable and meaningful, and the one-to-one customer engagement illustrates our ability to reach the right person, in the right place, at the right time, and with the right message.

2. Customer Data. SCE routinely uses internal customer data and external demographic data to develop propensity models for targeting segments of customers. Recently, SCE

2 SCE, California Public Advocates Office, California Solar and Storage Association, Solar Energy

Industries Association, Natural Resources Defense Counsil, Environmental Defense Fund and the Consumer Federation of California.

Page 22: BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF ... · 1/2/2019  · Community-Based Organization (CBO) Outreach Strategy As part of SCE’s strategy to increase awareness

A-17

created a propensity model to identify FERA eligible customers who may benefit from enrollment in the program. ME&O was then deployed to efficiently and effectively target specific customer segments.

3. Cohesive Look and Feel. To create a cohesive experience across all channels, the look and tone of all communications materials are consistent, and our messages are crafted with clear, simple language.

To that end, SCE projects an attitude that is caring, responsive, expert and visionary, and our brand, “Energy for What’s Ahead,” represents a foundation of energy progress that better serves customers, communities and the environment.

4. Integration of Multiple Offerings. SCE’s strategy encourages customers to move beyond one-time “single energy actions” (e.g., one program sign-up) and drives customers toward ongoing, permanent behavior changes that are paramount to living an “energy-management lifestyle” (e.g., multiple program signups and sustained energy saving behaviors). The strategic approach provides customers with general education and awareness of rate options and DSM programs and tips and directs customers to SCE.com or to contact SCE for more information.

SCE’s ME&O strategies contribute to a customer-centric, integrated approach that ultimately leads to a more personalized customer experience and more efficient and effective communications.

In situations when multiple programs and messages are combined and integrated within a particular communication such as a brochure, SCE will allocate the expense across programs and respective funding streams based on the proportion of real estate that is associated with each. For instance, if a brochure is developed to primarily promote residential rate options and within the brochure one-quarter of the messaging is allocated to the smart thermostat rebate, the rate budget would be responsible for 75% of the expense and the smart thermostat budget, 25%.

Examples of ME&O integration include the following

CBO Savings Toolkit: programs cross-promoted include income-qualified programs (CARE/FERA), the Medical Baseline program, and the Energy Advisor tool.

TOU Pilot Welcome Kit: integration of rate information with energy management tools and conservation tips as well as information about smart thermostat rebates.

New Customer Welcome Communication: information includes Budget Assistant, Paperless Billing, and residential rate plans.

Pages linked to the residential rate plans page include the Electric Vehicle page and the Energy Savings Tip page.

XII. CURRENT RESIDENTIAL TIME-OF-USE RATE ENROLLMENTS As of December 30, 2018, 441,249 residential customers are enrolled in TOU rate plans,

as reflected in the table below, including 279,004 that were transitioned through the Default TOU Pilot. Enrollment has increased since 2017, with a significant increase in enrollments

Page 23: BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF ... · 1/2/2019  · Community-Based Organization (CBO) Outreach Strategy As part of SCE’s strategy to increase awareness

A-18

resulting from SCE’s TOU Default Pilot. In addition, opt-in TOU enrollments increased in Q4 as well, with a large contributor from our TOU Benefiter Acquisition.

XIII. MEDICAL BASELINE There has been an increase in customer enrollment in Medical Baseline with 1,402 new

sign ups.

SCE continues to leverage its grassroots approach referred to in Section IIA of this document, Marketing, Education and Outreach Program, Community-Based Organization to market Medical Baseline through CBOs and local events.

XIV. BUDGET UPDATE

A. Residential Implementation Memorandum Account (RRIMA) Summary As with previous reports, SCE is tracking all recorded costs in four categories: TOU Opt-

In Pilot, TOU Default Pilot, TOU Default Full Roll Out, and Non-TOU Pilot, with sub-categories in each (i.e., ME&O, Consultant, etc.). In addition, SCE has now added a fifth category which includes internal charges (e.g., general and absence labor, contract procurement, accruals, etc.), and budget reclassification efforts. These charges are best separated from the other categories as they are not specific to TOU and Non-TOU activities.

Below is the summary table of RRIMA operating expenses from October 2015 through December 2018. SCE spent approximately $7.67M on RRIMA operating expenses in Q4 2018. Included in that total is approximately $193k in bill protection credits. Pursuant to Resolution E-4847, issued May 11, 2017, SCE now records bill protection credits in the Base Revenue

Requirement Balancing Account (BRRBA). However, bill protection credits have been included in the budget table below to accurately represent RRIMA spend.

SCE has implemented quarterly accruals for all invoices over $50,000. In Q4 2018, SCE incurred approximately $5,906,453 in quarterly accrual expenses which will be adjusted in Q1 2019.

While not noted in the above table, SCE has incurred capital-related expenses to support the residential rate reform decision. This work included system changes to modify SCE’s tier structure, including the development of the HUC, the building of new rates for TOU Pilots, and the development of the long-term Rate Plan Comparison Tool. Currently, SCE has incurred approximately $7.58 million in capital-related expenses through December 31, 2018 and these costs are in addition to the above table.

SCE has discovered a reporting error in Q2 2018 in the amount of up to $155,525. The error was caused by incorrect vendor billing which resulted in the erroneous charges. Approximately $130,376 has been adjusted and reflected in Q3 & Q4 2018 (TOU Default Full Roll Out, Other).

B. Default Pilot Budget Summary Resolution E-4847, issued on May 12, 2017, approved with modifications SCE’s Default

TOU Pilot and directed SCE to begin tracking expenditures against estimates related to the pilot. SCE is tracking all Default TOU Pilot costs in six categories: Marketing, Market Research (including Measurement and Evaluation), Information Technology (IT), Operation Support, Bill Protection, and Project Management Support. Since the filing of AL 3531-E, three line-items have been added to the Default TOU Pilot budget to specifically track Marketing “Collateral,” and “Bill Redesign”, as well as Operation Support “Rate Calculations.”

As noted in the RRIMA Summary, IT capital and Bill Protection expenditures do not record in the RRIMA. However, these costs have been included in the budget table above in order to accurately represent Default TOU Pilot spend. Currently, SCE has incurred approximately $4.06 million in Default TOU Pilot IT capital-related expenses through December 31, 2018, and these costs are included in the table above. In addition, SCE has incurred approximately $361k in Bill Protection credits. Bill Protection credits for 2017 were previously recorded as Default TOU Pilot costs in error and have been corrected.

Various activities contributed to SCE spending only $3.84M on the project, significantly less than the $7.604M budgeted for 2018. These include:

Lower Pilot Pre-Default Notification Costs – SCE developed the Default TOU Pilot Pre-Default Notification budget with the assumption that the total customer population of 400k would be included. Approximately 22% of the projected customer base opted-out, closed rates, or switched to another TOU rate which led to lowered production costs. The recorded spend reflects the revised costs associated with production, print, postage, and available efficiencies which lead to lower spend.

Lower Market Research Costs – SCE spent approximately $544k less on market research efforts than previously budgeted for. This is due to revised costs for

surveys and using in-house resources. A competitive estimate for experience and tracking surveys was lower than previously budgeted. In addition, costs for experience evaluation research were included in a separate survey effort; therefore the previously budgeted amount of $100k was not incurred. Also, SCE used in-house resources for Default TOU pulse surveys.

Higher IT System Update Costs – SCE spent approximately $494k more on IT billing system updates and support than previously budgeted for. This is due to revised project scope and cost estimates for bill redesign efforts.

Lower Operational Costs SCE did not consider Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and robotics assistance in previous operations support estimates. At that time, the role that IVR and robotics would play was uncertain. IVR satisfied at least 50% of the calls that came into the call center prior to default resulting in a reduction of energy advisors needed and trained for live calls. With the support of robotics, billing operations experienced a reduced handled-time compared to what was forecasted for exceptions. Training labor expenses are factored into Customer Contact Center (CCC) labor hours and did not record in the training section. Also, additional training that was planned was not needed.

Lower Bill Protection Costs – SCE conservatively estimated a total of $10.5M cost for bill protection, with 25% of the bill protection being paid in 2018. Of the $2.6M forecast for 2018, only $361k in bill protection costs were incurred. SCE’s original estimates assumed that a representative sample of 10% of customers would opt-out over the term of the pilot, where as of February 2019, approximately 30% of customers have either opted-out, switched to a different TOU rate that does not include bill protection, or closed their account due to normal attrition. Many of the customers that opted-out prior to default were non-benefiters, thus no bill protection will be paid to them.

C. Marketing, Education and Outreach (ME&O) Budget Summary The following table provides a revised budget estimate for SCE’s RROIR ME&O activities

in 2018-2022. The final budget may vary based on a variety of factors, such as the final rate design and lessons learned from the TOU pilots. As requested by the Public Advocates Office (formerly ORA) in response to SCE’s AL 3500-E, SCE will update the below table with the recorded ME&O expenditures each quarter. Through December 2018, SCE has recorded approximately $12.06 million in ME&O costs. SCE has implemented quarterly accruals for all invoices over $50,000. In Q4 2018 (Statewide Marketing: Statewide (DDB), Consultant), SCE incurred $6.15 million in quarterly accrual expenses which will be adjusted in Q1 2019.

Ordering Paragraph 6 of Resolution E-4895, issued on February 9, 2018, directs SCE to include cost deviations and explanations for costs variances of $250,000 at the tactic line level in the PRRR. SCE has confirmed with Energy Division staff that all deviations will be based on the most recent budget submitted as part of SCE AL 3777-E-A, filed on August 24, 2018.

SCE has cost variances of $250k for the following tactic line items:

Lower Statewide Marketing – SCE spent approximately $7.87M less for statewide marketing efforts than previously budgeted in 2018. This is due to a delay in invoicing. PG&E and SDG&E hold the contracts for DDB and OMD, and costs have not been incurred by SCE.

Lower Default TOU Pilot – SCE spent approximately $1.04M less for Default TOU Pilot efforts than previously budgeted in 2018. As stated in XIII. Budget Update, Section B. Default Pilot Budget Summary, lower Default TOU Pilot participation is the reason for reduced spend. Approximately 22% of the projected customer base opted-out, closed rates, or switched to another TOU rate which lead to lowered

production costs. The recorded spend reflects the revised costs associated with production, print, postage, and available efficiencies.

Lower Market Research – SCE spent approximately $306k less than previously budgeted in 2018. Market Research costs were lower than expected due to lower costs and utilization of in-house resources. Default TOU Pilot experience and tracking surveys were less than expected. Also, SCE received a credit from our market research vendor for previous communications efforts conducted in a prior year. Experience evaluation efforts were included in a separate research effort and pulse surveys were done in-house.

XV. CONCLUSION SCE continues to collaborate with both TOU Pilot and ME&O Working Groups along with

the ME&O consultants to continue a successful implementation of the Default TOU Pilot. SCE looks forward to continued discussion with the CPUC and parties regarding its full TOU implementation plan detailed in its 2018 Rate Design Window proposal.

Background & Metrics The CPUC directed the three California IOUs to implement a TOU default pilot to gaugecustomer response to new TOU rate plans, and test communication approaches tofacilitate customer adoption. A set of surveys will assess: (1) awareness (of the default,rates, and communications), (2) understanding (of the rates, how to manage on TOU,etc.), and (3) engagement (with the selected rate, including behavioral changes and/orengagement with SCE tools and assistance). Additionally, the survey will measure keyME&O metrics:

3

Metric Nr. Description

1Customers are aware that there are rate plans that may help them mitigate electricityexpenditures (“could help you save money”)

2 Customers know where to go to get more information about how to manage their electricity use

3 Customers understand how electricity use can impact bills (based on the rate plan they are on)

4Customers understand the benefits of lowering their electricity use or shifting electricity use tonon peak hours

5

Customers are aware of the rebates, energy efficiency programs, demand response programs,energy management technologies, and tips offered by their utility that can help them managetheir electricity bill

6 Customers feel they were provided useful info explaining their bills

8 Customers were provided with information and services to help reduce their electricity bill

ObjectivesResearch objectives of the survey include:

• Measure awareness and knowledge of available rate plan types: Tiered, TOU• Measure awareness and response to the TOU Default Pilot transition• Determine recall of summer and winter newsletter communications• Measure customer takeaway from the newsletters

– Useful, easy to understand, got your attention, caused you to take action • Determine sufficiency of communications• Measure customer understanding of TOU, re: how to manage electric bill• Measure awareness and understanding of SCE assistance• Determine customer actions to reduce and shift• Identify TOU rate group and demographic differences in awareness, knowledge,

and actions

MethodologyA total of 2,023 interviews were completed among a sample of customers who defaulted to a TOU Default Pilot rate in March (did not opt out to Tiered or choose an alternate TOU) –and remain on the new rate when surveyed. • Customers had received three communications prior to defaulting, with content based on three

dimensions: (1) peak period (4-8 or 5-9), (2) bill impact analysis (monthly or seasonal), and (3) consumer benefit (opportunity or loss aversion). Customers then received one of two versions of a Welcome Letter (Kit): basic or enhanced. Finally, customers received a summer and a winter newsletter.

• Interviewing was completed by (a) web (via email or letter invitation with link to a web survey) or phone (direct calls to those without email or non-responders to the email or mail invitation). Respondents were offered the chance of receiving a lottery incentive.

• Interviewing was completed between October 22 and November 27, 2018.

Overall, awareness has remained steady at 73%. Many customers are still not aware of rate choices, of the impact of reducing or shifting use, and especially of bill protection – those who are not engaged by now may never be. Any further communications could reach a level of diminishing returns, of which we may be seeing the marginal yield now.

Higher Engagement Levels Will Be Challenging• Awareness of TOU and Tiered rates is unchanged from Survey 1b. Even after all the outreach and communications, a third still do

not know what rate they are on. This could be because they do not feel the need to pay attention, have low bills, or are a Benefiter. More outreach activities are likely to have minimal results.

• On the plus side, almost half are satisfied with their current rate. However, fewer customers are aware that they could make a choice in rates. Desert customers and Non-Benefiters have even lower awareness of having a choice – perhaps because they really do not think they have a choice.

• Many awareness specifics are also down in Survey 2, including being aware there are plans to help save money. It could be that those who are not aware of TOU messages are just harder to engage, and no matter how many attempts are made are likely never to pay attention or act.

More Work to Do on Bill Protection and Sharing Ideas to Shift / Save• Recall of the Summer newsletter is much higher than for the Winter version, which could be because summer temperatures remind

customers to pay more attention to SCE communications. • Customers seem to be settling into their rate, since more customers are saying they understand they could pay more without taking

action and how to manage their bill on the current plan. Positive feelings are increasing and negatives subsiding. More customers are feeling in control.

• More customers indicate that reducing electricity can impact the bill as compared to shifting. This suggests that more can be done to show how shifting saves energy.

• Customers did not easily find information about Bill Protection. Very few customers even know they have it. Future communications may need to repeatedly share messages about Bill Protection, especially where to find the status on the bill.

• Many customer feel they have done all they can to save. Perhaps sharing testimonials and videos on how customers saved will show customers what more could be done, especially low/no cost actions.

Executive Summary

Page 38: BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF ... · 1/2/2019  · Community-Based Organization (CBO) Outreach Strategy As part of SCE’s strategy to increase awareness

Awareness of Rate Plan Types, Current Rate, and Rate Satisfaction• Awareness of TOU (73% vs. 72%) is unchanged from Survey 1b. Tiered rate plan awareness

is also unchanged (66% vs. 68%) from Survey 1b.• Nearly a third (31%) of customers who defaulted to TOU still do not know what rate they

are on, and this has remained unchanged since Survey 1b (June) after the March transition. • Almost half are satisfied with their current rate (46%), but mean satisfaction decreased to

6.9 from 7.1 with fewer who are “not sure” – and more who gave a mid-range rating (4-7). Groups with the highest rate satisfaction are CARE, Coastal, and Benefiters/Neutrals.

• Customers believe that TOU is best for their household over Tiered by a 3:2 ratio, but one in three is still not sure what is best – unchanged from Survey 1b.

Awareness and Response to Transition / Knowledge of Recent Changes• About half (48%) of customers are aware that their household is part of the Default TOU

Pilot transition. Most of those aware of the transition (60%) knew that they could make a rate choice (down significantly from Survey 1b at 65% and Survey 1a at 75%). CARE customers are less aware of the transition. Desert dwellers and Non-Benefiters are less aware (or do not think) that they have a choice.

• METRIC 1: 52% are aware that there are rate plans that can help them save money, down from Surveys 1a and 1b (55%). Most other specific awareness-related statements are also down from the last measurement.

Executive Summary

Page 39: BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF ... · 1/2/2019  · Community-Based Organization (CBO) Outreach Strategy As part of SCE’s strategy to increase awareness

Summer and Winter Newsletters • About half (48%) of customers recall receiving the Summer newsletter, but only half as

many (24%) recall receiving a Winter newsletter. • Over half considered the information provided to be useful (53%) and easy to

understand (56%). Agreement on the look and feel being attention-getting is slightly lower at 44%. Those who reportedly took action is 35%, up significantly from Survey 1b.

• CARE customers gave the highest ratings to the newsletters.

Adequacy of Information • Despite relatively high awareness levels of SCE providing information, customers still feel

a need for additional information.– Just under half (46%) thought they received enough information about the transition.

• One in ten sought additional information.– SCE.com is the primary resource for obtaining additional information (used by 51% who sought

more information), followed by calling SCE (35%), and going to My Account (34%). – Two in three (68%) who sought additional information found it, an improvement from 56% in

Survey 1a.

Executive Summary

Page 40: BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF ... · 1/2/2019  · Community-Based Organization (CBO) Outreach Strategy As part of SCE’s strategy to increase awareness

Feelings and Conclusions about TOU• Among customers defaulted to a Pilot rate, positive feelings are increasing and

negatives are decreasing. – Those feeling in control (29%) and optimistic (26%) increased from Survey 1b. – Those feeling confused (27%) or worried (19%) decreased. – Still 39% feel at least one negative emotion (worried, helpless, or angry) and 7% feel all three. – CARE customers are more likely to feel all of these emotions – positive and negative – except

for feeling confused or angry which is similar to Non-CARE. – Non-Benefiters feel less positive but no more negative than Benefiters or Neutral customers.

Understanding TOU Transition Changes: Peak Times, Bill Impacts, and Bill Protection• METRIC 3: Up significantly from Survey 1b, with 48% (rating 8-10) on “how changes to

current rate plans mean you could be paying more unless you adjust your usage” and 44% for “how to manage your bill on your current rate plan.”

• About 60% of customers correctly identified the peak times as falling somewhere between 5 to 8 PM for TOU-5 (or 4 to 9 PM for TOU-4). Of concern are those who misunderstand peaks times to be from noon to 4 PM (28-34%).

• METRIC 4: Two in three (64% to 70%, up from 52% to 57%) have an understanding of the impacts of reducing usage to realize potential benefit outcomes (save money, impacts to environment, improved reliability, controlling bill), while slightly fewer (53% to 60%, upfrom 47% to 51%) have an understanding of the impacts/benefits of shifting usage.

Understanding TOU Transition Changes: Peak Times, Bill Impacts, and Bill Protection (continued)• Half of customers have reviewed their bill since their transition to TOU. Most customers

thought the items on the bill were easy to find (range of 89%-99%), except for info about bill protection (73%). Almost all customers looked at the amount due and due date. Many looked at the peak periods, the TOU graph, and the rate they are on as well. Most customers thought the various bill items were helpful (range of 88%-92%).

• One-fourth of customers said something stood out on the new bill – 21% said something positive stood out and 5% (down from 12%) said something negative. Positive mentions about the bill are easy to read (37%), TOU information/detail (31%), graphs (13%), and lower cost (7%, down from 36%). The most frequent negatives are hard to understand (33%, up from 11%) and higher costs (28%, down from 63%).

• More customers believe they pay more with their new TOU rate plan than pay less – 22% vs. 16%. Most say they pay about the same amount (33%) or are not sure (30%).

• About one in six customers know they have Bill Protection (17%, down from 23%).– Half of those aware believe it is “very important” to their decisions to try and stay on TOU, yet

most customers (70%) don’t know about or understand bill protection.– A majority of customers (75%) want to see Bill Protection information elsewhere, with most

preferring it on both their bill and SCE’s website. Few want it just on the website.

Knowledge About SCE Resources and Assistance• METRIC 5: Awareness that SCE provides information and assistance is unchanged at

69%. However, fewer customers are sure where to go to get more information (METRIC 2): 52%, unchanged from Survey 1b but down significantly from the baseline of 57%.

Actions to Reduce or Shift• Four in 10 customers claimed they took action to shift or reduce, unchanged from Survey

1b’s “planned” actions, but more say “no” and fewer are “not sure” than in Survey 1b. • Equal numbers reduced (19%) as shifted (21%). All actions are down, though in Survey 2 these

are “actual” while in Survey 1b, actions were “planned.”• Top reasons for not reducing or shifting are that there is nothing more they can do

(“have done all I can,” “already use very little electricity”). • About one in six (17%) said they made energy efficiency improvements as a result of the

transition to TOU. One in seven (14%) said they signed up for or enrolled in an Edison program since the transition.

Attitudes Toward SCE• Overall favorability at 61% (8, 9, or 10 rating on a 10-point scale) is unchanged from

Survey 1b. • The most favorable groups are those on CARE, Coastal dwellers, and Benefiter and

Neutral groups. The least favorable are the Desert Dwellers and the Non-Benefiters.

Awareness of TOU is 73% in Survey 2, unchanged from Survey 1b in June but still up significantly from Survey 1a (April) at 62%. Awareness of the Tiered rate plan at 66% is also essentially unchanged since Survey 1a. • Awareness of NEM and EV rates is also unchanged since Survey 1a.• Awareness has not increased any further since defaulted customers received the Welcome

Letter, suggesting that achieving further awareness among those who thus far have remained unaware is increasingly difficult.

• Those on TOU-5 show a higher level of awareness of TOU rate plans than those on TOU-4, while TOU-4 have higher awareness of NEM.

• CARE customers have lower awareness of both TOU and Tiered rate plans than non-CARE.• Valley and Desert customers have higher awareness of TOU and NEM than Coastal. • Non-Benefiters have higher awareness of Tiered and NEM rate plans, but similar

awareness of TOU compared to Benefiters and Neutral customers.

RA2: “And which of these types of rate plans do you currently have for your home?”RA2a: “How would you rate your satisfaction with your current rate plan?”

Regarding their current rate plans, those who think they have TOU at 43% is up slightly from 41% in Survey 1b. Not knowing or identifying their rate is unchanged from Survey 1b at 31%.• Satisfaction with their current rate decreased, with more who gave a mid-range rating (4-7) and fewer

who are “not sure,” leading to a decrease in the mean score to 6.9 from 7.1.

RA2: “And which of these types of rate plans do you currently have for your home?”RA2a: “How would you rate your satisfaction with your current rate plan?”

• CARE customers are less likely to believe they have a TOU rate compared to non-CARE, and they are more likely to say they “don’t recall.”

• Rate satisfaction decreased among TOU-5 customers from Survey 1b to Survey 2. CARE and Coastal customers are more satisfied, while Non-Benefiters are less satisfied.

RA2aa: “What are the reasons for your satisfaction with your current rate plan?”

Customers have more negative reasons than positives regarding their satisfaction (47% vs. 31%). Top negatives are about high rates, inconvenient hours, confusion, and no choice. Positives include saving money, being more aware of usage and the bill amount, and that it works for the customer.

• Despite a slight decrease in rate plan satisfaction from Survey 1b to Survey 2 among TOU-5 participants, more said TOU is the best rate for their household in Survey 2 than Survey 1b.

• Among TOU-4 participants, more selected Tiered and fewer selected TOU compared to TOU-5 participants in Survey 2.

• Coastal were more likely than Desert customers to select TOU as the best rate plan, while Benefiters were more likely than Neutrals or Non-Benefiters to select TOU as best.

• CARE customers and Coastal & Valley residents are less aware of being part of the transition.

• Awareness of rate choice dropped more among TOU-4 participants than TOU-5 participants from Survey 1b to Survey 2.

• Desert and Non-Benefiter customers are substantially less likely to be aware that they have a choice – it might make sense for targeted communications to clear up this misunderstanding among customers most impacted by the transition.

Feelings about New TOU Rate Plans

AW6: “Does this transition to new Time-of-Use rate plans leave you feeling…?”

• Those defaulted to TOU-5 have less confusion and worry in Survey 2 than in Survey 1b.• CARE customers are more likely to have each of these feelings, except for confusion and anger.• Coastal customers have more positive feelings, while those in the Desert have more negative feelings.• Benefiters and Neutral customers are more likely than Non-Benefiters to have positive feelings, though

Understanding of Peak Times

UN1.1: “To the best of your knowledge, what hours is electricity the most expensive to use based on your current rate plan?”

More customers have correctly identified that peak times can be in the 6-9 pm range in Survey 2 than in Survey 1b, though there is also an increase in those identifying peak hours from 11 pm to 6 am. • Slightly fewer incorrectly identify peak times between 12 noon to 4 pm.

UN1.1: “To the best of your knowledge, what hours is electricity the most expensive to use based on your current rate plan?”

• Among the TOU-4 group, about 60% correctly identify 4-8 as peak, but fewer correctly identify 8-9 pm (47%, up from 42%).

• Non-CARE are more likely to identify hours from 5-9 pm than CARE. Coastal are more likely to identify morning hours (6 am-noon) as peak, while Desert dwellers are less likely to identify non-peak hours as being peak times.

Importance of Bill Protection

QNEW4: [IF AWARE OF BILL PROTECTION] “How important was bill protection in your decision to try the new Time of Use rate?”QNEW5: “How important was bill protection in your decision to stay on the new Time-of-Use rate?”

Among those who knew about it, over half the customers in Survey 2 rated bill protection as “very important” (8-10 rating) for both trying and staying on their new TOU rate plan.• Bill protection is just as important for staying on the new TOU rate as for trying it initially.

Actions to Shift or Reduce

QNEW1: “Since transitioning to a Time-Of-Use rate plan in March 2018, have you reduced or shifted your electricity usage during higher priced peak hours in the afternoon and evenings?” Q19: [NEW1=YES] “In the last six months, which of the following actions have you taken to reduce your household’s electricity usage in the late afternoon and early evenings, even if you only took the action occasionally?”

Four in 10 customers said they took action to shift or reduce, unchanged from Survey 1b, but more say “no” and fewer are “not sure” than in Survey 1b. • Equal numbers reduced (19%) as shifted (21%). All actions are down; however, in Survey 2 these

are “actual”, while in Survey 1b actions were “planned.”

Barriers to Reduce or Shift

Q23: “Which of the following, if any, has kept you from reducing or shifting your electricity usage in the afternoon and evenings in the last six months?”

Top reasons for not reducing or shifting include statements that there is nothing more they can do (“have done all I can,” “already use very little electricity”). • Working from home, being comfortable, their schedule, and having children are also mentioned.
