 potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events was $340 million. 

Estimated losses for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events litigation are based on a number of assumptions and are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Actual losses incurred may be higher or lower than estimated based on several factors, including the uncertainty in estimating damages that have been or may be alleged. Edison International and SCE may incur a material loss in excess of amounts accrued in connection with the remaining alleged and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/Mudslide Events.

CPUC-Jurisdictional Rate Recovery

In August 2023, SCE filed an application to seek CPUC-jurisdictional rate recovery of prudently incurred losses related to the Thomas Fire, the Koenigstein Fire and the Montecito Mudslides. SCE also sought recovery of approximately $65 million in restoration costs in the proceeding. In January 2025, the CPUC approved the TKM Settlement Agreement and closed the proceeding. Parties to the proceeding may file an application for rehearing through March 10, 2025. Under the TKM Settlement Agreement, SCE is authorized to recover 60%, or approximately $1.6 billion, of approximately $2.7 billion of losses, consisting of approximately $1.3 billion of uninsured claims paid as of May 31, 2024, and $0.3 billion of associated costs, composed of legal and financing costs incurred as of May 31, 2024, and estimated ongoing financing costs. SCE is also authorized to recover 60% of claims paid and related costs incurred after May 31, 2024, other than for $125 million of uninsured claims and related financing costs which SCE waived its right to seek recovery of under the SED Agreement.
