This report documents ex post and ex ante load impact evaluations for the statewide Base Interruptible Program (“BIP”) in place at Pacific Gas and Electric Company (“PG&E”), Southern California Edison (“SCE”), and San Diego Gas and Electric Company (“SDG&E”) in 2014. The report provides estimates of ex post load impacts that occurred during events called in 2014 and an ex ante forecast of load impacts for 2015 through 2025 that is based on the IOU’s enrollment forecasts and the ex post load impacts estimated for the 2014 program year. Base Interruptible Programs are statewide voluntary programs that offer customers a monthly capacity bill credit in exchange for the commitment to reduce their energy consumption to an amount that meets the customer’s minimum operational requirements, also known as a Firm Service Level (“FSL”).
