History

Lighting the Past

Southern California Edison grew out of various small companies that began experimenting with power generation and transmission as early as the 1880s. These pioneering visionaries literally lighted the way for Southern and Central California to enter the technological age that dawned with the 20th century. It's that heritage that inspires SCE today as we greet a new century full of potential to make life better for our customers.
