Capital Program
Capital Expenditures
Total capital expenditures (including accruals) were $5.7 billion in 2024 and $5.4 billion in 2023.
In connection with the 2025 GRC, SCE forecasts capital expenditures of $26.6 billion to $31.5 billion for 2025 – 2028. In the absence of a 2025 GRC decision, SCE has developed, and is executing against, a capital expenditure plan that is expected to allow SCE to meet what is ultimately authorized in the 2025 GRC decision while minimizing the associated risk of unauthorized spending.
The table below reflects forecast capital expenditures for 2025 – 2028 based on planned CPUC jurisdictional spending and current management expectations of FERC-jurisdictional spending. CPUC jurisdictional spending includes amounts requested in the 2025 GRC, and other approved non-GRC CPUC capital spending. The forecast CPUC jurisdictional capital spending will be dependent upon amounts approved in the 2025 GRC. Forecasted expenditures for FERC capital projects are subject to change due to factors such as timeliness of permitting, licensing, regulatory approvals, contractor bids, supply chain issues and other operational considerations.
Based on management's judgment of potential capital spending variability informed by historical precedent of previously authorized amounts, potential permitting delays, and other operational considerations, a range case was prepared reflecting reductions to GRC capital expenditures, CPUC non-GRC capital expenditures, and FERC capital expenditures.
The following table sets forth a summary of capital expenditures for 2024 actual spend and a forecast for 2025– 2028 on the basis described above:
| (in billions) | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | Total2025 – 2028 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional capital expenditures | ||||||
| Distribution | $4.1 | $5.2 | $5.6 | $5.5 | $5.5 | $21.8 |

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 ("ERP") software implementation, an advanced metering infrastructure program and other potential investments in the grid supporting restoration, reliability, resilience and readiness. SCE expects the total expenditures of these programs to be at least $3 billion, some of which will be incurred beyond 2028. In the first half of 2025, SCE intends to file an application with the CPUC for approval of the ERP implementation and expects to include approximately $1 billion of capital expenditures through 2029.
In May 2023, the CAISO released its 2022 – 2023 Transmission Plan based on the CPUC's projections that more than 40 gigawatts of new resources need to be added in California by 2032. As the incumbent transmission owner for a portion of these transmission projects, SCE expects to construct projects requiring capital investment of at least $2.0 billion, most of which will be incurred beyond 2028. In May 2024, the CAISO released its 2023 – 2024 Transmission Plan which identified additional transmission projects expected to be constructed by SCE by 2030 with anticipated capital expenditures of approximately $80 million.
In addition to projects awarded to incumbent transmission owners, the CAISO also identified projects eligible for competitive solicitation. In May 2024, SCE, in association with Lotus Infrastructure Global Operations, LLC, was selected as the approved project sponsor for a 30-mile overhead transmission line project connecting San Diego and Orange Counties. The project is expected to be in-service in 2032 and SCE expects to place approximately $244 million into its transmission rate base in 2032.
Rate Base
SCE's year-end rate base was $45.7 billion at December 31, 2024, compared to $42.7 billion at December 31, 2023.
Reflected below is SCE's weighted average annual rate base for 2024 – 2028, encompassing GRC capital expenditures as incorporated in the requests in the 2025 GRC application, approved non-GRC projects or programs, and FERC capital expenditures.
| (in billions) | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rate base for expected capital expenditures | $42.8 | $49.4 | $53.0 | $56.8 | $60.6 |
| Rate base for expected capital expenditures using range case discussed above | * | $48.1 | $50.4 | $52.8 | $55.3 |
