ROSEMEAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

In November 2012, the commission opened an investigation (I1210013) into the extended outages of both nuclear generating units at San Onofre. Over the past 18 months, the commission has received evidence and argument on a range of issues related to associated costs. However, not all issues have been heard, nor has any final decision been issued.

SCE announced June 7, 2013 that it would retire San Onofre Units 2 and 3, and begin preparations to decommission the facility. For more information about the settlement, visit the CPUC website's list of documents in the investigation, and specifically the motion asking the commission to adopt the settlement which was filed on April 3.
