Saving customers money graphic
  • SCE has issued bonds to finance some of the costs of its wildfire mitigation efforts; this saves customers $1.05 billion over the life of the transactions.       
  • Wildfire insurance is expensive and SCE is moving to a self-insurance model for wildfire liability risk to reduce excessive costs; this is expected to save customers about $160 million annually. 
  • SCE is saving customers $55 million every four years by reducing the costs of clearing hazardous vegetation around our infrastructure, and another $55 million by streamlining inspections of our infrastructure in high fire risk areas.

Rates are set through a transparent process of proceedings with the California Public Utilities Commission, the body that regulates SCE and other investor-owned electric utilities in the state. It includes public input and participation, and all investor-owned utilities use this same process.

To keep rates affordable and fair, we constantly balance the need to modernize our infrastructure to support reliability with the need to meet state policy requirements regarding such issues as renewable energy. We do that by working with local, state, and federal officials on an ongoing basis, and by keeping you informed throughout.
