Renewable Power
From helping you go solar at home, to expanding infrastructure so we can deliver you more renewable wind and solar power, we’re committed to a cleaner energy future for California.
Air & Water Quality
California is deeply committed to improved air and water quality, and so are we.
Helping Our Customers Save Energy, Save Money, and Help the Environment
SCE administers one of the nation’s largest portfolios of energy efficiency programs and services that help our customers to save energy and money. During the past five years SCE has partnered with our customers to save nearly 7.6 billion kWh, enough energy to power over 1.1 million homes for a year. These savings reduce GHG emissions by 3.2 million metric tons, the equivalent of removing 684,000 cars from the road.
Helping Marine Life Flourish
This artificial giant kelp reef is the largest U.S. environmental project of its kind.
Two Miles Of New Habitats For Fish
Our 174-acre artificial kelp reef off the coast of San Clemente, Calif., is thriving.
Finding Protection In Giant Kelp
Rapidly growing giant kelp is creating an underwater forest that serves as a safe habitat for local marine life of many species
The Largest U.S. Environmental Project Of Its Kind
The Wheeler North Reef was designed as an environmental enhancement program intended to mitigate impacts to the marine environment resulting from the cooling systems of the nearby San Onofre plant.
A Green Standard For Coastal Power Plants
It was designed to offset the relatively minor impact on a nearby kelp bed by the ocean water cooling system of the nearby San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
50+ Species
The project involved the placement of 120,000 tons of rock to attract many species of coastal fish and invertebrates.
Enhancing Southern California's Coastal Environment
Besides the ecological benefits, the Wheeler North Reef also heightens recreational opportunities such as fishing and diving in the San Clemente area.
Restoring A Coastal Wetlands Ecosystem
Native wildlife is thriving at this 150-acre habitat on the Southern California coast.
Habitats For Local Species
The San Dieguito Wetlands Restoration Project restored 150 acres of coastal wetlands in Del Mar, Calif.
Protecting Endangered Species
The environmental goal is to create a variety of habitats to increase and maintain fish and wildlife, and ensure protection of endangered species.
Restoration At Work
The project restored tidal flows, natural habitat, and vegetation — and helps mitigate the estimated impact of the cooling water systems for the nearby San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
Thriving Wildlife
It’s attracting a larger number of migratory and local birds than expected.
Scientific Success
Scientists hope to use the restoration project as a model of how best to help species colonize man-made habitats.
A Home For Wildlife
Many local species of local and migratory birds are making a home — permanent or temporary — in the restored wetlands.
