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.
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.
An exploration of SCE’s proposal to help realize California’s environmental goals.
Climate change and air pollution pose serious threats. Climate change effects, such as sea level rise and longer, more intense heat waves, are now occurring. In California, while significant progress has been made, too many communities continue to experience asthma and other air quality-related health issues.
Our utility, Southern California Edison, has developed an integrated framework that we’re calling the Clean Power and Electrification Pathway to fight climate change and improve air quality. It builds upon existing state policies to achieve California’s environmental goals, including reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40 percent from 1990 levels by 2030 and by 80 percent by 2050, as well as reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) and other health-harming pollutants in areas of the state with the highest levels of air pollution by 2032.
Using existing technologies, the Pathway calls for an electric grid with more carbon-free energy, which is used to clean other sectors of the economy. As the electric supply becomes cleaner, so do these other sectors, ensuring an efficient and affordable transformation that will generate good-paying jobs.
This paper presents Southern California Edison’s integrated blueprint for California to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants. Realizing the blueprint will reduce the threat of climate change and improve public health related to air quality. It is a systematic approach and each measure is integrated with — and depends upon — the success of the others. To be successful, California must approach implementation as an integrated package, applying resources across the board where most effective.

Today The electric sector has already reduced climate change emissions by 24 percent and now accounts for only 19 percent of California’s total.
2030 Let’s add more renewables to double the amount of carbon-free electricity supplied by the grid to 80%.
Benefits We will reduce climate change emissions by 56 million metric tons.
Today The transportation sector, including passenger vehicles and goods movement, is the largest source of climate change emissions and local air pollution in California, contributing 80 percent of all smog-forming NOx emissions.
2030 Let’s replace more than 7 million gasoline cars with electric vehicles - and electrify buses and trucks, too.
Benefits We will reduce climate change emissions by 58 million metric tons AND improve air quality, especially in vulnerable communities along transportation corridors.
Today Space and water heating currently accounts for more than two-thirds of the climate change emissions from residential and commercial buildings.
2030 Let’s use highly efficient, electric-powered options for space and water heating in nearly a third of our buildings.
Benefits We will reduce climate change emissions by 12 million metric tons.
