Reimagining the Grid

The power grid will evolve to integrate changes in how electricity is generated, stored and used, including by large-scale adoption of electric vehicles and distributed energy resources. Reimagining the Grid is SCE’s vision of this future grid. Reimagining the Grid is a comprehensive assessment to address how the grid must change to support California’s greenhouse gas reduction goals and the imperative for power to be carbon-free by 2045 — while also adapting to other needs driven by customers and climate change. 

We must start developing critical grid capabilities today to ensure they are in place when needed, and we cannot do this alone. Achieving a reimagined grid for a clean energy future calls for a collaborative, industry-wide approach to be most effective and less costly to implement. It will require all parties — policymakers, innovators, customers, utilities — working together to shape the policy and technology landscape and transform how we plan, design, build and operate the grid.

While we continue working toward further defining the capabilities and design architectures of the reimagined grid, we also need to take “no regrets” actions now to begin implementing this vision:
