Southern California Edison's Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program tied to the Eaton Fire has attracted more than 11,700 claimants so far, with applications remaining open through November 30, 2026. The voluntary program does not require claimants to waive litigation rights, meaning it runs alongside traditional legal channels and keeps overall liability uncertainty elevated for parent company Edison International. The scale and structure of the program highlight both the social impact of the event and the financial significance of the recovery process, as ongoing claims could pressure profitability and cash flows if ultimate costs are high. Investors are watching how total claims evolve, the mix between Fast Pay and Detailed Review outcomes, and any disclosures on aggregate program costs, as well as regulatory decisions on wildfire cost recovery that will shape long-term earnings and balance sheet impacts.
