Edison benefits from fine print in Newsom’s last-minute utility legislation

Fine print in Gov. Gavin Newsom’s last-minute utility legislation shifts Eaton fire costs to customers

Federal prosecutors sued Southern California Edison, saying its equipment ignited the 2019 Saddle Ridge fire, which burned nearly 9,000 acres and damaged or destroyed more than 100 homes in the San Fernando Valley.

Southern California Edison hasn’t accepted responsibility for igniting the deadly Eaton fire, but it is now offering each victim who lost their home hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to a draft of its planned compensation program.

The California Public Utilities Commission is set to allow Southern California Edison to increase customer bills by nearly 10% on Oct. 1 — just one of multiple rate hikes expected in the coming year.

California electric customers would pay $9 billion more to shore up the state’s wildfire fund under a last-minute deal reached behind closed doors that was introduced as legislation on Wednesday.

Federal prosecutors filed two lawsuits against Southern California Edison seeking tens of millions of dollars in damages for the Eaton fire and the 2022 Fairview fire.

The body of a woman was found by Pasadena firefighters responding to a house fire Saturday morning, officials said.

Southern California Edison didn't tell L.A. fire investigators about the failure of its transmission equipment, which happened minutes before deadly 2019 wildfire in Sylmar.
