 up to $63 million of self-insured retention and co-insurance per fire, which results in net coverage of approximately $937 million. SCE's wildfire insurance expense for the July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023 policy period was approximately $450 million, of which $357 million was paid to commercial insurance carriers (commercial insurance carriers other than EIS are referred to herein as "Third-Party Commercial Insurers"). The difference between the Third-Party Commercial Insurer cost and total cost for the July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023 policy period was paid in premiums to EIS (See Note

18 for further information). Wildfire insurance premiums paid for the July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023 policy period are being recovered through customer rates. In February 2025, an amendment was made to one of the EIS wildfire liability insurance policies. This amendment does not change the the amount of premiums paid to EIS and does not change the policy's total available insurance limit, but modifies how the limit is applied under the policy. As a result of this amendment, $50 million of the self-insured retention for a wildfire occurring during the July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023 policy period, recorded in WEMA as of December 31, 2024, is now eligible for insurance reimbursement. Consequently, in 2025, EIS will record a $50 million wildfire insurance expense (by utilizing the premiums already collected as discussed above), and SCE will record the corresponding insurance recovery from EIS by applying a required credit to the WEMA.In May 2023, the CPUC allowed SCE to establish an expanded self-insurance program for wildfire-related costs that will be funded through CPUC-jurisdictional rates, in lieu of obtaining wildfire liability insurance from the commercial insurance market. Beginning on July 1, 2023, SCE implemented its customer-funded wildfire self-insurance program. In 2023 and 2024 SCE collected $150 million and $300 million, respectively, through CPUC-jurisdictional rates in support of SCE's customer-funded wildfire self-insurance program. In July 2024, the CPUC issued a decision in the 2025 GRC proceeding authorizing this self-insurance framework to continue through at least 2028, supporting a self-insurance fund of up to $1.0 b
