Customers Out More Than $1 Billion for Idle Nuclear Plant

The California Public Utilities Commission held an initial meeting Tuesday that could eventually result in ratepayers getting a refund for a portion of the bills they have paid during the San Onofre nuclear plant’s year-long outage, the Los Angeles Times reports. Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric customers are paying more than $1.1 billion a year in costs related to the troubled plant, according to the commission.
