 in December 2024. In the 2024 NDCTP, SCE requests reasonableness review of approximately $538 million (SCE share in 2024 dollars) of recorded San Onofre Units 2 and 3 decommissioning costs incurred during the period 2021 to 2023. SCE also requests approval of an updated decommissioning cost estimate for decommissioning activities to be completed at San Onofre Units 2 and 3 of $3.0 billion, of which $2.3 billion is SCE's share (in 2024 dollars). The decommissioning cost estimate includes costs through the expected decommissioning completion date, currently estimated to be in 2056.

Decommissioning cost estimates are subject to a number of uncertainties including the cost and timing of nuclear waste disposal, the time it will take to obtain required permits, cost of removal of property, site remediation costs, as well as a number of other assumptions and estimates, including when the federal government will provide for either interim or permanent off-site storage of spent nuclear fuel enabling the removal and transport of spent fuel canisters from the San

SCE had nuclear decommissioning trust funds for San Onofre Units 2 and 3 of $2.1 billion at December 31, 2024 and $2.2 billion at December 31, 2023. Based upon the resolution of a number of uncertainties, including the uncertainties of decommissioning discussed above, the financial performance of the nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments, as well as the resolution of a number of other assumptions and estimates, additional contributions to the nuclear decommissioning trust's funds may be required. If additional contributions to the nuclear decommissioning trust funds become necessary, SCE will seek recovery of additional contributions to the decommissioning trust through electric rates and any such recovery will be subject to a reasonableness review by the CPUC. Cost increases resulting from contractual disputes, delays in performance by the contractor, elevated levels of inflation, or permitting delays, among other things, could cause SCE to materially overrun the decommissioning cost estimate and could materially impact the sufficiency of trust funds. 

In December 2024, the CPUC approved disbursements from SCE's nuclear decommissioning trusts to cover forecasted 202
