2023 At A Glance

Sustainability is at the core of our vision to lead the transformation of the electric power industry toward a clean energy future. Edison International is helping create a world where homes and businesses, cars, trucks and mass transit are powered by carbon-free electricity and customers benefit from reduced energy costs. Our principal subsidiary, Southern California Edison (SCE), is a leader in California’s efforts to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that contribute to climate change, while also focusing on the grid investments needed for a more resilient, equitable clean energy economy. Our competitive business, Trio, partners with leading corporate, industrial and institutional clients around the globe to help them deliver on their strategic, financial, energy and sustainability goals.

Leading the Clean Energy Transition

Rapid electrification is society’s most important tool to achieve net-zero GHG emissions — for our company, the state of California and beyond. Our strategy to lead the clean energy transition provides a roadmap for others to follow; it is risk-informed, based on climate modeling and expert analysis, and aligned with science and national and global commitments like the Paris Agreement.






Countdown to 2045 outlines the bold steps necessary to achieve the accelerated pace at which electrification, clean generation and investments in transmission and distribution must advance to realize California’s climate goals.

SCE contracted approximately 2,200 MW of energy storage, bringing the total to approximately 7,200 MW owned or under contract — one of the largest portfolios in the nation.

Delivered 52% carbon-free power in terms of retail sales to SCE customers, 55% cleaner than the national average GHG intensity.

Trio advised on 1,300+ MW of renewable energy power purchase agreements, bringing the total to nearly 12,000 MW.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Our comprehensive DEI strategy guides our efforts to build an inclusive workplace that encourages innovation, teamwork and continuous improvement that is critical to our shift toward a clean energy future. SCE has also made its consolidated EEO-1 report publicly available.

SCE produced operational and maintenance savings for its customers: $160M annually for Wildfire Self-Insurance Program, $55M cumulatively over general rate case (GRC) cycle by transforming the inspection process and $50M cumulatively over the GRC cycle by improving purchasing.

1,100+ MW of demand response program peak load reduction at SCE to help prevent rotating outages during times of grid stress and/or high energy prices.
