After the devastating January 2025 LA wildfires — fires that investigators believe were sparked by Edison's own equipment — the state of California made a decision that's going to cost you for years to come.
California is now requiring Southern California Edison to bury over 150 miles of power lines underground across high-risk areas. The price tag? As much as $3–5 million per mile — costs that are expected to be passed directly to consumers through rate increases. Electrical Contractor Magazine
And that's just the beginning.
Edison has submitted a $6.2 billion Wildfire Mitigation Plan to state regulators. That's billion — with a B.
And who funds it?
You do. Every Edison customer in Southern California.
Meanwhile, Edison customers are already being charged $1.7 billion to cover claims from the 2017 Thomas Fire — a fire caused by Edison's own equipment. That bill was approved and passed straight to ratepayers. CalMatters
Now the Eaton Fire lawsuits are piling up. If Edison is found to have acted imprudently, the liability exposure could reach $3.9 billion — or higher. Los Angeles Business Journal
Ask yourself: where does that money come from?
It comes from your bill. Every month. On top of everything else.
The average Edison residential customer is already paying $176/month and currently paying over $300 per year just to cover wildfire-related costs alone.
Edison has already been approved for a 10% rate hike, with an additional 3% increase every year through 2028. aolaol
This isn't speculation. It's already happening.
