Gault, Executive Vice President of Public Affairs at Edison International, and Elizabeth Matthias, a Senior Attorney at SCE.

In the ongoing scandal over covert meetings and emails between SCE and the CPUC regarding the settlement in the San Onofre fiasco, the Alliance has filed a reply to SCE’s claims of immunity:

060115 A4NR Response to SCE reply to motion
The Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility has filed an Amendment to Petition for Modification of the CPUC decision placing the burden of paying for the fiasco caused by the failed steam generator replacement at San Onofre (SONGS) onto the ratepayers. At issue: the ongoing revelations of secret, unreported meetings between former CPUC President Michael Peevey and SCE’s executives and the manner by which they have unduly influenced the decision…. From the Alliance’s lastest filing:
Juxtaposed against SCE’s unlawful and unethical decision to violate its disclosure obligations, each of the other four principal claims in SCE’s April 29, 2015 Response is both irrelevant and diversionary. The prejudicial impact on the other I.12-10-013 parties, both settling and non-settling, which stemmed from SCE’s misconduct — and the resultant extrinsic fraud and fraud-by-concealment – is all that matters regarding the integrity of D.14-11-040.

The San Diego Union Tribune reports:

The release of the emails started with an earlier filing by Alliance attorney John Geesman:
The San Diego Union Tribune
The California Public Utilities Commission on Tuesday ordered Southern California Edison to turn over all documents related to the potential settlement of the San Onofre closure dated between March 2013 and November 2014….
…A group called the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility called on regulators to sanction Edison for the late filing, and the order for release of emails is part of the commission’s consideration of that request.
