This resolution approves Advice Letter (AL) 2274-E in part and denies AL 2274-E in part. The Commission approves SCE's request to establish a memorandum account to record costs for the Hydrogen Energy California (HECA) study.

This resolution authorizes SCE to record, in HECAMA, up to $30 million in costs resulting from its participation in the HECA study with Hydrogen Energy International LLC (HEI).
The Commission denies SCE's request to authorize recovery of the costs recorded in the HECAMA via this resolution. To seek authority to recover of costs recorded or to be recorded in the HECAMA, SCE may file an application with the Commission requesting authority for recovery of the costs.
