Investment thesis

Base case
Modernization and resilience spending can expand the regulated rate base. The base case remains conditional on wildfire liability staying manageable.
Bull case
Modernization and resilience spending can expand the regulated rate base. Data centers and regional industry can support electric-sales growth. Renewable and transmission projects can align investment with policy demand.
Bear case
Litigation and mitigation spending can create material uncertainty. Rate cases may not recover costs on the expected timing or terms. A capital-heavy plan is sensitive to rates and equity funding needs.
Thesis invalidation
Reassess the thesis if litigation and mitigation spending can create material uncertainty.
