Pedro Pizarro, CEO of Edison International, stated that wildfire liability reform is crucial for the financial health of Southern California Edison. He noted that the California Legislature rejected Governor Gavin Newsom’s proposal to amend a wildfire reform bill to limit utility liability, an event that previously caused Edison International’s stock to drop by 23%.

Pizarro called for a long-term solution that includes a true shareholder liability cap separate from the Wildfire Fund. Edison International’s Chief Financial Officer estimated that elevated credit spreads could cost customers an incremental $300 million over the life of bonds expected to be issued in 2027.
