San Onofre decommissioning reserve funding cut in half

Summary

Riverside Public Utilities is closing in on fully funding its share of San Onofre nuclear plant decommissioning, so the annual contribution drops from $1 million to $500,000 starting fiscal 2026-27. That frees up utility funds for other needs, though estimates could change when new decommissioning figures come out.
