Targeted Undergrounding: Topanga Canyon Blvd (Vicasa Circuit)

Why are we performing this project?

SCE is working to further reduce the threat of wildfire by burying power lines in high-risk areas. The targeted undergrounding effort will make the electrical system more reliable during extreme weather conditions by increasing protection from high winds, vegetation, and other hazards that could cause fires or power outages. We understand this work may impact you and we thank you for your understanding. For more information about SCE’s Targeted Undergrounding (TUG) program, visit www.sce.com/tug.

This project page will be updated and maintained through the life cycle of this project to keep you informed. For additional information on this project, you may connect with us at sceprojects@sce.com. Please reference the name of this project in your email.

 

This project segment will underground approximately 4.71 miles of cable in 2024-2025. Once construction begins road closures and/or encroachments may be necessary to complete the work safely and as quickly as possible.

SCE will continue to work with elected officials and community leaders to ensure transparency, a regular cadence of communication and the safe delivery of power to your community.
