California’s major monopoly utilities asked regulators Monday to approve higher profits for their shareholders amid a growing risk of destructive fires.
Flames from the Thomas fire whip around utility power lines in Sycamore Canyon on Dec. 16, 2017. Southern California Edison power lines were found to have sparked the deadly blaze.
In separate filings to the California Public Utilities Commission, officials for the three companies said a larger return on equity for their shareholders is necessary to keep attracting investment.
