- SCE's RAMP application proposes 450 miles of covered conductor and 190 miles of undergrounding for the 2029-2032 period, indicative of continued large-scale grid hardening.
- The Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program (WRCP) is progressing, with over 2,200 offers extended, but it remains too early to use the data to estimate total liability.

Оценка AI от менеджмента
Management highlighted AI as a key enabler of operational transformation, with targeted applications to improve productivity, quality, and decision-making across grid planning, operations, and wildfire mitigation. Specific use cases include automating initial design generation and validation, and streamlining permit processing, expected to accelerate design cycles by 20-30% and reduce permit cycle
Инвестиции и мощности
SCE maintains a sizable capital plan supported by a constructive regulatory framework, with rate-based growth of about 7%. The latest RAMP filing (2029-2032) proposes continued grid hardening with about 450 miles of covered conductor and 190 miles of targeted undergrounding, with capital in that cycle tied to the 2029 forecast of $8-9 billion.

Management cites Moody's independent analysis to frame wildfire risk as a broad economic issue for California, not just a utility problem.
Доказательства
“Moody's recently highlighted that the implications extend beyond utilities. They note that wildfire-related costs can affect electricity rates, affordability, and California's broader economic competitiveness.”
Management references S&P's view to underline that the credit and economic impact of wildfire risk is wider than the utility sector.
Доказательства
“SNP has also observed that wildfire-related financial risks increasingly extend beyond investor-owned utilities to public utilities, local governments, insurers, and the communities they serve.”
