Item  8.01
Other Events
MHI Arbitration Decision
On March 13, 2017, Edison International’s subsidiaries, Southern California Edison Company (“SCE”) and Edison Material Supply LLC, received the decision from the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) International Court of Arbitration on claims against Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., and a related company (“MHI”) regarding the failure of the replacement steam generators (“RSG”) that MHI supplied for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (“San Onofre”). The arbitration was initiated in October 2013 by SCE in its capacity as Operating Agent for San Onofre, which is co-owned by SCE, San Diego Gas & Electric Co. (“SDG&E”) and the City of Riverside (“Riverside”). SDG&E and Riverside are also claimants in the arbitration.

The arbitration tribunal, in a 2-1 decision, found MHI liable for breach of contract but rejected claimants’ other claims. The tribunal found that damages were subject to contractual limitations on liability. Accordingly, the tribunal awarded the claimants $125 million (SCE's share $98 million) in damages, in addition to $45 million previously paid by MHI (SCE’s share $35 million). In addition, the tribunal ordered the claimants to pay MHI $58 million for legal costs (SCE's share $45 million). The tribunal rejected MHI’s counterclaims. The resulting net recovery to SCE is approximately $52 million. One of the three members of the tribunal issued a concurring and dissenting opinion in which he opined that the claimants had established a basis under California law to overcome the limitation of liability and therefore should have recovered over $1 billion as a result of the RSG failures.

The decision is the final award of the tribunal but can be challenged in court on limited grounds.

Award Allocation among Co-Owners

The decision includes an allocation of damages in accordance with plant ownership shares. The amount of SCE’s share of damages may be adjusted subject to future agreement among the San Onofre co-owners.

Release of Full Tribunal Decision

As required pursuant to the protective order in the arbitration, the parties are conferring regarding the treatment of potentially confidential information in the decision. Subject only to redaction for confidential information, SCE expects to make the decision public when the parties reach agreement on redactions. If the parties are unable to reach agreement, the tribunal will resolve any differences, and the redacted decision will be released following the tribunal’s decision.
