Edison International

What Edison International does

Edison International derives the vast majority of its revenue from SCE's regulated electricity transmission and distribution operations, with rates set through CPUC general rate cases that authorize returns on rate base. The company's core technology investments include over 7,000 miles of installed covered conductor for wildfire mitigation, a filed $3.1 billion Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI 2.0) application, the Charge Ready 2 EV charging program (the largest light-duty EV charging program among US investor-owned utilities, launched 2020), energy storage initiatives, and distributed energy resource programs. Edison generates revenue through subscription-style recurring utility tariffs billed monthly, plus professional services revenue from Trio's advisory engagements. FY2025 revenue reached $19.32 billion, with net income of $4.46 billion nearly tripling year-over-year, supported by approved wildfire settlement cost recovery. The company maintains a 22-year dividend growth streak (annual dividend of $3.51 per share, ~4.9-5.1% yield) and is executing a $38-41 billion capital plan through 2030.

Revenue is derived from rates approved by the California Public Utilities Commission, which authorize returns on rate base investments in infrastructure including transmission, distribution, and generation assets. The company also earns revenue through capital investment programs that support grid modernization, wildfire mitigation, and clean energy goals.
2. Energy Advisory Services (Trio): Trio (formerly Edison Energy) and affiliated companies Altenex Energy and Alfa Energy provide global sustainability and energy advisory services to large commercial, industrial, and institutional organizations, helping them navigate the clean energy transition through integrated strategy and implementation solutions in sustainability, renewables, energy procurement, conventional supply, energy optimization, and transportation electrification.

Direct peers

• PG&E Corporation: The other large California investor-owned utility, also CPUC-regulated, with the same wildfire-equity-risk profile and similar AMI/grid-modernization agenda; the most direct comparable to SCE on geography, regulatory regime, and capital plan.
• Sempra: Parent of San Diego Gas & Electric (also CPUC-regulated with reduced ROE), plus a large natural gas utility. Closely comparable to Edison's mix of electric T&D plus gas utility exposure and California regulatory dynamics.

Broad incumbents

• Duke Energy: One of the largest US investor-owned electric utilities; comparable scale, regulated rate-base model, capital plan magnitude, and dividend-growth orientation, though diversified across multiple states rather than concentrated in California.
• Southern Company: Large multi-state regulated electric utility with a comparable $40B+ class capital plan and dividend-growth franchise; relevant benchmark for capital intensity and regulated returns, though less exposed to wildfire-specific risk.
• NextEra Energy: Largest US renewable-energy generator and parent of Florida Power & Light; comparable in regulated-utility scale, dividend track record, and exposure to data-center load growth, with a more renewables-heavy mix.
• American Electric Power: Large multi-state transmission-focused regulated utility with comparable T&D capex intensity and dividend-growth orientation, though diversified across 11 states and less exposed to wildfire risk.
• Dominion Energy: Large US regulated utility with significant T&D operations and comparable capex/dividend profile, providing a useful benchmark for grid modernization and data-center-driven load growth.
• Xcel Energy: Multi-state regulated utility with significant renewable integration and grid-modernization programs; comparable on regulated rate-base growth and capital plan scale.
• Exelon: Pure-play T&D utility holding company post-spin; directly comparable business model to SCE's wires business and useful benchmark for transmission/distribution valuation.

Regional players

• Iberdrola / Avangrid: Global renewables-heavy utility with US operations (Avangrid); relevant for benchmarking clean-energy capex execution and grid-modernization approaches outside California, with limited direct overlap in service territory.
