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.
SCE’s 2019 data-driven analysis of the steps that California must take to meet the 2045 goals to clean our electricity grid and reach carbon neutrality.
SCE’s vision of the future electric grid – to enable efficient integration of clean resources, support customer adoption of new technologies and ensure climate adaptation and resilience.
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.
A multi-layered strategy is key to combatting advanced, persistent cyber threats.
The electric infrastructure assets of our utility, Southern California Edison, are part of the nation’s critical infrastructure as defined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). A high level of vigilance is required to maintain cybersecurity for this infrastructure.
Today’s cyberattacks are advanced and persistent, but they are not new. What’s new and constantly changing are the tools and techniques used in hacking attempts. At Edison, we employ cyber best practices and continuously improve our defenses to ensure our utility is protecting and securing the electric grid and customer information.
SCE does this by starting with thoughtful grid design, and then employing a multi-layered cybersecurity strategy, and participating in partnerships and frequent drills.
Grid design is the backbone of grid security. SCE's electrical system is designed with safety and security as priorities. Backup systems and extra carrying capacity are built into the grid itself. SCE's highly skilled and trained engineers continually study, evaluate and prioritize the utility’s resources and infrastructure to keep the grid safe and reliable and to mitigate security risks.
Our utility's multi-layered strategy is key to combatting advanced, persistent threats. It includes:
Our partnerships and close collaboration of shared intelligence across local, state, and federal government, and with other utilities, further strengthens our utility's protective defenses.
SCE has a robust best practices sharing forum with its peer utility companies. This sharing not only includes best practices and lessons learned, but also allows our analysts to share threat intelligence among each other.
SCE is part of an industry mutual assistance program for analysts to support each other in the event of an emergency.
Drills allow participating government agencies and critical infrastructure organizations to measure their readiness for a potential attack on the grid. Edison participates in cyber-preparedness drills, such as NERC’s GridEx. In addition, SCE runs FEMA-designed Incident Response Plan scenarios periodically to test internal processes and systems.
CES-21 is a cybersecurity research and development program directed by the California Public Utilities Commission and the California legislature. It is a collaborative effort between Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas & Electric, San Diego Gas & Electric, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The goal of CES-21 is to explore the next generation of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) cybersecurity to protect the electric grid infrastructure from emerging cyberattacks.
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.
