We’ve been delivering safe, affordable, reliable electricity for well over a century.
Representing a mix of ethnic backgrounds, generational ties, gender, and life experiences, our leadership team offers a broad array of perspectives and strategic insights.
Climate change and air pollution are serious threats that require the transformation of the way energy is produced and used. Here’s our proposal to do just that.
Today's energy customers are increasingly seeking choice in how they manage their energy. Utilities will evolve to become facilitators of customer choice and the clean energy economy.
The Clean Energy Access Working Group was launched through a groundbreaking partnership to help ensure no community is left behind as we move toward a clean energy future.
At San Onofre, the long and complex decommissioning process will be guided by three core principles.
Meeting California's ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction goals will require a significant electrification of homes and other buildings.
As fuel for transportation, electricity makes sense.
We're modernizing the grid to support California's transition to a clean and sustainable future.
We're developing and implementing cutting-edge cybersecurity technologies to secure the electricity grid and protect customer data.
We are using battery energy storage to help create a cleaner, more resilient grid.
Our utility, Southern California Edison, is working to incorporate more clean energy into the grid every day.
We're examining whether renewable energy and other cleaner sources can help lessen the need for new power plants in California.
We're making a difference in the community by partnering with local nonprofits that have programs focused on education, the environment, public safety & emergency preparedness, and civic engagement.
Edison Scholars awards $40,000 scholarships to students who want to make a difference in the world.
Our employees are known for their volunteerism, from cleaning beaches to feeding the homeless.
Sustainability is elemental to our vision of a safer, more dependable, and cleaner energy future.
Our teams are diverse and inclusive, and we count on everyone to bring something to the table.
Working here means being part of a collaborative, diverse, and dynamic workplace culture.
It all starts with searching our job listings, and completing an online application.
Our utility, Southern California Edison (SCE), is working to incorporate more clean energy into the grid every day. This includes distributed energy resources, such as solar. Distributed energy resources – small-scale local resources, often installed at a customer’s home or business – can help meet California’s greenhouse gas reduction goals, help customers reduce electricity use and support grid reliability.
Our utility has a long and proud history of solar innovation and growth. Every day, SCE is working together with customers to create a clean energy future. Since 2007, SCE has ranked in the top-10 utilities in delivering solar to its customers.

Electric Access System Enhancement project
SCE's Electric Access System Enhancement project is part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s SunShot Initiative. SunShot is a national program to better integrate solar into the electrical grid.
EASE will increase the communication between all the companies and individuals that have a part in connecting a solar project to the grid. This includes SCE, the solar contractor, the local permitting authority and the customer. A new single online entry point will demonstrate how to streamline the interconnection process. As a result, the permitting, approval and the physical connection process would be faster and simpler.
With multiple sources of generation connecting to the grid, it is important to ensure the grid maintains a steady power flow at the local level. EASE will also allow SCE’s substation control system to communicate with distributed energy resources, such as solar, to maintain the needed flow.
Ultimately this demonstration project is expected to reduce interconnection time and increase solar and other DER adoption.
Integrated Grid Project
The Integrated Grid Project is a demonstration project that is testing software to "smooth out" the power supply when Distributed Energy Resources, such as solar or energy storage, are integrated with SCE’s infrastructure.
A smoother power flow on circuits and in substations will help avoid the need for major upgrades. It will also ensure that customers have proper voltage. To do this, the software will communicate with the DER, either directly or through a DER aggregator that pools multiple DER resources. The software then determines how best to operate the DER on a circuit. SCE can then work with customers to more efficiently manage the grid.
A field demonstration of this system will take place on a circuit in the southern Santa Ana region later in 2018. A full-scale implementation is expected a few years later.
Our utility, Southern California Edison, collaborates with many organizations to support innovation in the areas of renewable sources of energy, grid optimization, and energy storage. If you are working on a project of this nature and need a letter of support or commitment for a California Energy Commission EPIC proposal, DOE or other funding source proposal, we may be able to help.
