Southern California Edison seeks approval for $461 million to demolish the shuttered San Onofre nuclear plant north of Oceanside
State utility regulators have delayed responding to Southern California Edison’s request for more than $400 million in decommissioning funds to pay for tearing down the shuttered San Onofre nuclear plant north of Oceanside.
Edison cited delays in its fuel-transfer program — the delicate operation of moving of nuclear waste from wet to dry storage — and approval of a permit from the state Coastal Commission for the updated cost estimates.Advertisement The decision came on the same day the San Diego consumer group Public Watchdogs formally protested Edison’s application.
“The advice letter seeks permission to spend nearly half a billion dollars of ratepayer money,” Langley protested to state regulators. “This is a virtually unprecedented level of increased spending to be permitted based on a mere nine-page letter of questionable claims.”The decommissioning fund is a multibillion-dollar pot of money paid into by utility customers and augmented by investments over several decades.
