 grid is a critical enabler of the adoption of energy technologies that support California's GHG reduction objectives. California has set RPS targets which require California retail sellers of electricity to provide 60% of power from renewable resources by 2030. California also requires sellers of electricity to deliver 100% of retail sales from carbon-free sources by 2045, including interim targets of 90% by 2035 and 95% by 2040. In 2024, approximately 46% of SCE's customer deliveries came from carbon-free resources. SCE continues to make progress towards meeting its long-term RPS and carbon-free power goals and interim targets. In addition, Edison International is committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2045, in alignment with economy-wide climate actions planned by California. This commitment covers the power SCE delivers to customers and Edison International's enterprise-wide operations. To further support these goals, Edison International and SCE are investing in building a more resilient grid to reduce climate- and weather-related vulnerabilities. Since 2018, SCE has been

adapting to climate change through system hardening to reduce wildfire risk. In its 2025 GRC, SCE proposed climate adaptation investments to address wildfire and physical risks that could occur by 2030. 

Edison International believes that California's 2045 goals can be achieved most economically through emissions reductions enabled by clean electricity to serve 100% of retail sales, electrifying approximately 90% of light-duty vehicles, 90% of medium-duty vehicles, 54% of heavy-duty vehicles, 80% of buses and 95% of buildings. Additionally, reducing emissions to near zero in the electric sector hinges on developing clean firm resources to replace natural gas. Clean firm resources, such as next-generation geothermal, small modular reactors, natural gas with carbon capture and storage, and clean hydrogen, produce constant power through any weather conditions or season with little or no greenhouse gas emissions. By 2045, electricity demand is projected to increase by at least 80% as compared to 2022 per Edison International's analysis. In SCE’s service area, the increase in electricity demand is materializing sooner than expected. SCE’s most recent 10-year load growth forecast has increased by 35% compared to its 2022 distribution system plan. The key drivers of this increase are commercial developments, transportation electrification, and new residential housing. California has demonstrated strong long-term support of transportation electrification as shown by the approval of SCE
