SCE forecasts a $37.5 billion total capital program for 2024 through 2028, based on the Track 4 settlement (see "—Track 4") and 2025 GRC application, adjusted for ongoing delays in the Riverside Transmission Reliability Project (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Capital Investment Plan") and denial of SCE’s Building Electrification Program (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Regulatory Proceedings”). This forecast includes GRC capital expenditures, CPUC non-GRC capital expenditures, and FERC capital expenditures.
Based on management judgment of potential capital spending variability informed by historical precedent of previously authorized amounts, potential permitting delays and other operational considerations, a range case has been prepared reflecting reductions to GRC capital expenditures, CPUC non-GRC capital expenditures and FERC capital expenditures. Based on the range case, SCE forecasts $32.2 billion total capital expenditures for 2024 through 2028.
In addition to the amounts presented in the table above, SCE expects to make additional CPUC capital investments, the recovery of which will be subject to future regulatory approval. This includes non-GRC programs including additional spending on an enterprise resource planning software implementation, an advanced metering infrastructure program and other potential investments in the grid supporting reliability, resilience and readiness. SCE expects the total expenditures of these programs to be at least $2.0 billion, some of which will be incurred beyond 2028. In addition, in May 2023,
CAISO released its 2022 – 2023 Transmission Plan based on the CPUC's projections that it needs to add more than 40 gigawatts of new resources by 2032. As the incumbent transmission owner for a portion of these transmission projects, SCE expects to construct projects representing at least $2.0 billion of expenditures, most of which will be incurred beyond 2028.
Reflected below is SCE's weighted average annual rate base for 2023 – 2028 incorporating CPUC- and FERC- jurisdictional capital expenditures and planned non-GRC projects or programs.

SCE forecasts total weighted-average rate base incorporating CPUC- and FERC-jurisdictional capital expenditures increasing to $60.6 billion by 2028 based on the Track 4 settlement and 2025 GRC application adjusted for delays in the utility owned storage projects, the Riverside Transmission Reliability Project, and a reduction of working capital following implementation of the customer-funded self-insurance program.
