We’ve been delivering safe, affordable, reliable electricity for well over a century.
Our companies include one of the nation’s largest electric utilities and providers of industrial and commercial energy services nationwide.
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.
We're working on Zero Net Energy construction standards and testing technologies that increase energy efficiency in homes and commercial 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.

When it comes to public policy on energy, legislation formed today will exert implications well into the future. While our focus as a company is to safely produce and deliver reliable and affordable electricity, we’re also working to help policymakers create informed, practical public policy for California and our nation, based on a thorough understanding of associated costs and tradeoffs.
All of us in the energy arena need to work together as never before to build a system that benefits all customers. It’s imperative that we get this right.”
— Pedro J. Pizarro, CEO and President, Edison International
Using clean electric power as a transportation fuel is an effective way to accelerate attainment of California’s environmental goals. Electric vehicles currently reduce greenhouse gases by more than 70 percent and smog-producing air pollutants by 85 percent compared to gas-powered cars. As more renewable resources are added to the grid, electric vehicles will increasingly benefit the environment.
The natural role for electric utilities in electric transportation is delivering clean electricity to customers to fuel their EVs. New electricity infrastructure and a modernized grid will support the growth and integration of EVs; however, we must support more chargers that deliver clean and reliable electric fuel to EVs.
We have just 13 years until 2030 – the date when California has committed to meet the next phase of its GHG reduction goals. If the state, utilities, and other stakeholders do not act now, time will quickly run out to achieve these laudable GHG reduction goals. These parties cannot work alone. They must be willing to collaborate and share lessons learned, while developing programs to encourage the adoption of EVs. Given the real world timing constraints of bringing millions of new EVs on the road to meet the state’s environmental objectives, there must be a willingness to try new methods, fail fast, and move on.
Through our Charge Ready program, we are ensuring that there are more places for passenger EVs to charge away from home. We are now proposing to use this approach for commercial and heavy duty vehicles, promoting electrification of freight transportation and people movement. These projects will benefit all SCE customers, with a particular focus on “disadvantaged communities” — areas that are disproportionately affected by pollution and economic hardship, often located along transportation corridors.

Electricity customers today want choice and flexibility in how they manage their energy. This is evident in the growth of distributed energy resources for personal use, such as private rooftop solar, energy storage, and electric vehicles. In these short clips Edison International CEO and President Pedro Pizarro explains why energy companies must transform the existing local power grid into a “plug and play” platform that accommodates and integrates these new energy technologies.
Technology is giving customers choices about what devices they need or want to plug into the grid, and it’s the utilities job to facilitate those choices.
The state of California has about 25 percent of the nation’s distributed energy resources. SCE is helping customers install private solar at a rate of more than 5,000 per month.
The grid was designed for one-way flow of power from generator to customer. It must be converted to a two-way flow to enable new energy technologies.
SCE is investing about $4 billion a year to make the grid smarter and more robust. SCE's road map for building the grid of the future has been filed with California state regulators.
Utilities are engaging with regulators on questions such as: “Who should operate the grid?” Our view is that the utility is the natural choice to be the distribution system operator.
Technology companies will need to keep improving cost and performance. Regulators will need to ensure fairness in rates and cost sharing. Utilities will need to undergo a culture change. We all have to work together to get this right.
