About Edison International
About Edison International
Southern California Edison, the principal subsidiary of Edison International, served approximately 5 million customers in a 50,000 square-mile service territory in southern California at December 31, 2025, with CPUC-authorized revenues of $9.7 billion for 2025, stepping to $10.2 billion in 2026, $10.7 billion in 2027, and $11.2 billion in 2028 under the 2025 General Rate Case. Edison International also owns Trio, a global energy advisory firm serving commercial and industrial clients. The company employed 13,725 people at year-end 2025, including 13,235 SCE employees, with approximately 4,600 represented by the IBEW under agreements expiring December 31, 2027.
Edison International earns revenue primarily through SCE's regulated cost-of-service model. The CPUC decouples authorized revenue from electricity sales volume — differences between amounts collected and authorized levels are reconciled through rate adjustments that do not affect operating revenue, so electricity sales volume has no direct impact on SCE's financial results. SCE's authorized capital structure is 43% long-term debt, 5% preferred equity, and 52% common equity, with an authorized ROE of 10.03% for 2026 and a weighted average return on rate base of 7.59%. Approximately $1.6 billion in wildfire risk mitigation capital expenditures are excluded from rate base under AB 1054; SB 254 is expected to exclude an additional $2.9 billion of wildfire mitigation capital approved on or after January 1, 2026 — structurally limiting rate-base growth from this spending category.
Show full overview
Wildfire liability is the dominant operating risk for SCE. California courts have applied inverse condemnation to find utilities strictly liable for property damage when utility equipment is a substantial cause of a wildfire, regardless of fault. The Eaton Fire igniting in Los Angeles County in January 2025 resulted in loss of life and property damage, and the 10-K notes that if Wildfire Fund reimbursements for eligible Eaton Fire claims arrive later than projected, SCE could face short-term liquidity pressure. The Wildfire Fund, established under AB 1054, could be exhausted by prior damage claims from participating utilities, eliminating both the reimbursement mechanism and the Liability Cap — a scenario that could materially affect SCE's financial condition.
