Edison International’s utility said it plans to bury more than 150 miles (241 kilometers) of electrical lines at a cost of as much as $925 million as part of a massive rebuilding effort in Los Angeles-area neighborhoods devastated by January wildfires.
Southern California Edison will target areas most at risk of wildfires for its work, which the company outlined in a letter to California Governor Gavin Newsom on Friday, according to a statement.
