A Smarter Grid for Ongoing Reliability: Our Plan
Safe and Reliable Electricity 24 Hours a Day
As your electric utility, we are here to provide you with safe and reliable electricity 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Digital advances in the way electricity is transmitted and delivered can heighten reliability and improve security, and in the coming years we will continue upgrading our region's electrical infrastructure.
Our proposed plan for the years 2012 to 2014 will be rigorously reviewed by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in a transparent process known as General Rate Case (GRC) proceedings.
Maintaining & Upgrading the Grid
We are guided by the simple principle of maintaining and upgrading our region’s electrical grid in a thorough, planned way. It’s safer and more cost effective than letting equipment fail while in service. In these tough times for our region and the nation, we are also reducing our operating costs with internal efficiency measures.
Our plan to upgrade Southern California’s electrical infrastructure will support thousands of exciting new jobs in the region – opportunities for power experts and for the suppliers and contractors that work alongside us, at a time when California needs it most. This plan will create more than 10,000 new California jobs in Southern California. Click on a region in the interactive map to learn how that area will benefit from infrastructure investments.
Helping You Save Energy
At the same time, we continue to focus on helping our customers use less electricity and save money through energy-efficiency programs. In fact, over the past five years, through working with customers, 6.8 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity have been conserved – enough to power nearly a million homes for an entire year.
Our 2012 GRC presents our forward-looking plans to California regulators for audit and review. Learn how rates are set. Learn more about the GRC process and timeline.
