This is Phase 1 of the investigation by by the CPUC into the outage at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS). This phase is constrained to the events and conduct of Southern California Edison (SCE) and associated costs during 2012. It DOES NOT include the subject of REPLACEMENT POWER which has been pushed into a subsequent subphase.

During these hearings, written testimony has been previously submitted and parties also are allowed to make Data Requests of each other. Witnesses sponsor the testimony and they can be cross-examined by the parties. The witnesses are chosen by Edison.
