3. In April 2025, SDG&E and SoCalGas each submitted additional requests to the CPUC in the 2024 GRC, known as Track 3 requests. SDG&E submitted a request seeking review and recovery of $417 million of its wildfire mitigation plan costs incurred in 2023 that were in addition to the amounts authorized in the 2019 GRC and not addressed in the 2024 GRC. Additionally, SDG&E and SoCalGas submitted a combined request seeking review and recovery of $240 million and $499 million, respectively, of PSEP costs incurred from 2014 through 2019 and 2015 through 2020, respectively. SDG&E and SoCalGas expect to receive proposed decisions for their Track 3 requests in the first half of 2026. 

Revenue requirements associated with the Track 3 requests have been recorded in regulatory accounts. SDG&E and SoCalGas are authorized interim rate recovery of up to 50% of the recorded PSEP regulatory account balance at the end of each year. Such interim rate recovery is subject to refund, contingent on the reasonableness review decision for their Track 3 requests.

CPUC Cost of Capital

In March 2025, SDG&E and SoCalGas each filed applications with the CPUC seeking to update their cost of capital for 2026 through 2028, subject to the CCM. SDG&E and SoCalGas expect to receive a final decision by the end of 2025. We further discuss the cost of capital and CCM in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
