Edison International Inc. President and CEO Pedro Pizarro says one set of transmission distribution lines near the origin point of the Eaton Wildfire in Los Angeles were "de-energized" before the reported start of the fire. He also says there have been no indications of any electrical anomaly ahead of the fires.
Pedro Pizarro, Edison International CEO, discusses if a downed power line was a potential cause of the fires in California and a possible timeline for power restoration.
The lawsuit is on behalf of a group of homeowners, renters, business owners and others with properties destroyed by the Eaton Fire in the Pasadena area, Bloomberg reported.

Edison International, a major electric utility in Southern California, is one of the major suppliers of electricity to the disaster-ravaged Los Angeles area. The market has sold off the company's stock in the recent days, sending it down to levels last seen in October of 2023. However, the largest of the fires are not in Edison International's service territory, reducing the risk that the company will actually suffer long term damage from this event.
The company will likely face questions over whether any of its power lines may have contributed to the fires. No officials have made any statements on this issue.
Jefferies analyst Paul Zimbardo says shares of Edison International dropped 10% on Wednesday with the market effectively assuming full responsibility for the catastrophic Los Angeles fires at the damage liability cap, subject to fund availability. The firm, however, believes the market is overestimating Edison's exposure due to the Assembly Bill 1054 legislative protections. The bill established a liability cap at 20% of the electric equity rate base and a $21B claim paying fund for wildfires with reimbursement based on prudency, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Jefferies says Edison disclosed a $3.9B 2024 liability cap and it estimates $4.5B for 2025. On an after-tax basis this implies $3.2B liability, the firm points out. It believes the risk for shares is if liabilities for these and other fires breach the fund size, requiring incremental funding. "From an investor perspective, the most unfortunate part is that EIX and California broadly had a relatively quiet period without catastrophic wildfires that came to an end," Jefferies contends. Edison did not file an incident report to date which is a favorable data point, the firm adds. It keeps a Buy rating on the shares with a $93 price target.
