amount in the Decommissioning Cost Estimate and Edison provides required documentation. Other than Edison and SDG&E, all other parties opposed this request. SONGS Balancing Account Edison proposed that the Commission authorize Edison to record in a balancing account all unanticipated associated with SONGS Units 2 and 3 that are not related to decommissioning. Other than Edison and SDG&E, all other parties opposed this request. Reasonableness Reviews Edison requested authorization to file annual applications for the Commission to review its Units 2 and 3 decommissioning expenditures for reasonableness. SDG&E SDG&E supported Edison’s presentation of the $4.411 billion Decommissioning Cost Estimate. SDG&E also requested authorization for its own decommissioning costs of $16.549 million, which no party opposed. ORA ORA recommended against the Commission approving the Decommissioning Cost Estimate. ORA argued that, as presented by Edison, the current estimate of decommissioning costs is a non-engineered estimate, based on uncertain assumptions and which acknowledges that certain project costs remain unknowable at this time, such as the timing and rate of the removal of the spent fuel from the plant sites by the Department of Energy.
