Summary
Edison International (EIX) filed an 8-K on September 22, 2014, reporting on the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) proceeding. The company's subsidiary, Southern California Edison, along with other parties, filed a Joint Response to a ruling regarding a proposed settlement agreement. This filing indicates a willingness to accept modifications and clarifications to the original settlement. The primary motivation for accepting these changes is to expedite the resolution of the investigation proceeding. Investors should note that this development signals a step towards closure for the SONGS issue, which has been a significant concern. The parties intend to submit an amended settlement agreement by September 24, 2014, and are requesting prompt approval from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). This suggests a path forward, though the ultimate approval and its specific terms will be crucial for understanding the full financial implications.
