Sometimes SCE may need to shut off your power temporarily to allow our crews to safely perform maintenance and scheduled upgrades to our electrical infrastructure. This can include replacing aging poles and multiple segments (or even many miles) of underground cables or overhead conductors.
We recognize that temporary outages can be inconvenient and appreciate your patience. Upgrading and modernizing our grid reflects the way customers are changing the way they use electricity and remains an important part of our vision to keep your electricity flowing reliably, now and in the future.
Visit our Outage Map to see if the power in your neighborhood is shut off due to a maintenance outage.
Preparing for a Maintenance Outage
At least three days before a scheduled maintenance outage we will notify you so you can take any necessary precautions. Please be aware, however, that timing can change for safety reasons. It’s possible that a maintenance outage can be rescheduled, canceled, or ended earlier than planned. Your notification will include a Scheduled Outage Number that you may enter into our Outage Map to receive the latest updates.
*Certain equipment conditions may require SCE to take immediate action, without notifications, to perform repairs or inspections that protect the safety of our customers and ensure the reliability of our service.
