Being prepared for power outages is key to staying safe and minimizing inconvenience. SCE offers comprehensive preparation tips along with resources for customers affected by outages, whether due to repair (following severe weather or unexpected events like accidents), rotating (mandated to ease demand during high usage periods), or maintenance (planned to allow crews to perform essential upgrades). Customers can review important standards for battery energy storage systems, locate cooling centers, and explore SCE’s Critical Care Backup Battery Program for those who rely on electrically powered medical devices.
