 $10 million in the first quarter of 2025. For further information on the TKM Settlement Agreement, see "Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires and Mudslides."Initial and annual contributions to the wildfire insurance fund established pursuant to California Assembly Bill 1054 (the "Wildfire Insurance Fund" and "AB 1054")Edison International and SCE accounted for the contributions to the Wildfire Insurance Fund similarly to prepaid insurance. No period of coverage was provided in AB 1054, therefore expense is being allocated to periods ratably based on an estimated period of coverage. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, Edison International and SCE had a $1.9 billion and a $2.0 billion long-term asset, respectively, as well as a $138 million and $204 million current asset, respectively, reflected as "Wildfire Insurance Fund contributions" in their consolidated balance sheets for the initial $2.4 billion contribution made during 2019 and the present value of annual contributions SCE committed to make to the Wildfire Insurance Fund, reduced by amortization. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, long-term liabilities of $363 million and $450 million, respectively, have been reflected in "Other deferred credits and other long-term liabilities" for the present value of unpaid contributions. Contributions were discounted to the present value using US treasury interest rates at the date SCE committed to participate in the Wildfire Insurance Fund.Edison International and SCE reassesses the period of coverage of the fund at least annually in the first quarter each year, and adjustments are applied on a prospective basis. At December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the asset was amortized based on an estimated period of coverage of 20 years, 15 years, and 15 years, respectively. All expenses related to the
