Grid Hardening Progress ng SCE

Nakatuon ang SCE sa mga customer at sa mga komunidad na pinaglilingkuran namin. Sa pamamagitan ng aming plano para mabawasan ang panganib ng wildfire, pinapatibay namin ang grid sa pamamagitan ng paglalagay ng covered conductor kapalit ng hubad na kawad at pagbabaon ng kawad sa lupa sa mga lugar na mataas ang panganib na magkasunog para mabawasan ang panganib ng wildfire.

Mga Aktibidad para Mabawasan ang Panganib ng Wildfire Ayon sa County

Naglalatag ang Plano ng SCE para Mabawasan ang Panganib ng Wildfire ng malinaw na direksyon para mapatibay ang grid at mabawasan ang mga panganib ng wildfire. Gamit ang isang strategic at pangkalahatang diskarte, inuuna ng SCE ang pagpapatibay ng grid, mga inspeksyon ng asset at mga aktibidad sa pamamahala ng pananim para maagap na mabawasan ang wildfire at maingatan ang mga komunidad na pinaglilingkuran namin. Sinusubaybayan ng SCE ang pag-usad ng inisyatiba laban sa wildfire ayon sa mga distrito ng SCE at pinalalawig ito hanggang sa level ng county bilang makatwirang pagtatantya.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

1. Disenyo
Sa phase ng pagdidisenyo, tinutukoy ng SCE ang pinakamahuhusay na opsyon para sa pagpapatibay batay sa history ng pag-brownout ng circuit, lokasyon ng circuit, at ang nakapalibot na lugar kasama ang halamanan malapit sa kagamitan at ang mga nakaraang lagay ng panahon. Ang pagsusuring ito ay isang mahalagang hakbang para matukoy ang uri ng trabaho na puwedeng matapos sa iminumungkahing lugar at ang mga partikular na detalyeng kailangan para malaman ang saklaw ng trabaho.

2. Pagkuha ng permit
Kapag nailatag na ang saklaw ng trabaho, matutukoy na ng SCE kung kinakailangan ng permit. Nangangailangan ang karamihan ng mga proyekto ng kahit isang permit para sa mga pagsasara ng kalsada, kadalasan mula sa isang lungsod, county, o Caltrans. Nakadepende ang mga karagdagang kinakailangang sa permit sa lokasyon ng proyekto. Posibleng kasama rito ang mga permit sa lupa ng estado at pederal, mga clearance na pangkapaligiran, mga easement ng pribadong ari-arian, mga pag-apruba ng Federal Aviation Administration, o mga permit sa mga right-of-way ng riles. Posibleng abutin nang halos dalawang buwan ang pag-apruba sa permit, o posibleng mas tumagal pa ang proseso.

3. Konstruksyon
Puwedeng iiskedyul ang trabaho at puwedeng magsimula ang konstruksyon kapag natanggap na ang lahat ng kinakailangang permit. Sa karamihan ng mga sitwasyon, sa trabahong ito, kinakailangang patayin ang kuryente sa pagtatapos ng konstruksyon kapag handa nang ilipat ang kuryente mula sa overhead na linya papunta sa covered conductor o mga linya sa ilalim ng lupa. Aabisuhan namin ang mga customer nang maaga kung kailangang mag-brownout.

Safety is SCE’s number one priority. SCE’s grid hardening work keeps safety top of mind and uses a comprehensive strategy that builds on continuous efforts to address immediate and long-term wildfire risks in response to changing community needs and extreme weather events. We continue to harden the grid and invest in resiliency measures including installing covered conductor, undergrounding power lines, clearing vegetation near power lines, inspecting equipment for repairs and maintenance and integrating advanced technologies to reduce the risk of wildfires by utility equipment.

SCE develops and deploys grid hardening in the areas of greatest risk. We continue to prioritize our riskiest areas first. To determine High Fire Risk Areas, SCE uses a combination of wildfire risk modeling, CPUC's High Fire Threat District map and historical fire data. As the threat of wildfire continues to grow, SCE regularly checks its service area to assess the risk factors.

By replacing bare power lines with covered conductor and undergrounding lines in high fire risk areas, SCE significantly reduces the chance of ignitions during extreme weather events. It helps prevent outages and ensures a more reliable power supply. Enhanced infrastructure and predictive analytics improvements help to reduce the impact of PSPS events. Fast-acting fuses and automated switches improve the precision of shutoffs, minimizing the number of affected customers and enhancing overall safety. Strengthening the electrical grid supports the integration of more clean energy resources, contributing to California's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions .

Covered conductor (coated wire) is an overhead power line that has durable protective coating to help prevent sparking when objects come in contact with the line or when lines clash with one another. SCE replaces bare wire with covered conductor to help reduce wildfire risk.

Covered conductor takes about 16 to 24 months to deploy. By the end of 2025, SCE expects to reach hardening approximately 90% of our total distribution lines in high fire risk area. 

SCE is pursuing undergrounding to help reduce the risk of wildfires and increase reliability during extreme weather conditions. We have identified certain high fire risk areas where it is prudent, and feasible, to move power lines underground for public safety reasons if they are not already hardened with covered conductor and feasible. SCE may choose to underground power lines in areas that meet specific criteria, including limited exit and entry points to communities, extreme potential consequences and other factors. Learn more about undergrounding as a wildfire mitigation measure with this fact sheet.

While SCE is removing electrical overhead lines and equipment and putting them underground in targeted areas, poles that have lines and assets owned by other companies (e.g., telecommunications, cable, etc.) may remain above ground. SCE will communicate the scope of work with telecommunications companies to allow them the opportunity to underground their lines at the same time. 

While an undergrounding project may be taking place in your neighborhood, the scope of work depends on the specific portions of the circuit lines being targeted for undergrounding that may or may not feed your home, neighborhood or business. The project team carefully evaluates the power lines that meet the targeted undergrounding criteria, including limited exit and entry points to communities, extreme potential consequences and other factors. 

SCE is undergrounding power lines to help reduce the risk of wildfires and increase reliability during extreme weather conditions. We have identified certain high fire risk areas where it is prudent to move power lines underground for public safety reasons if not already hardened with covered conductor and feasible to do so. Our goal is safety and not necessarily aesthetics. SCE may choose to underground power lines in areas that meet certain criteria, including limited exit and entry points to communities, extreme potential consequences and other factors. If you’d like to know if your community has planned undergrounding for wildfire mitigation purposes, please refer to our grid hardening map. Governmental agencies (e.g., city, county), developers or individual customers interested in initiating an undergrounding project not related to wildfire mitigation, please refer to Rule 20 projects.

Under the CPUC’s Rule 20, undergrounding projects are initiated by a governmental agency (e.g., city, county), developer or individual customer. It is financed by utility rate money, combined rate funds and local tax proceeds, or private funds depending on whether Rule 20A, Rule 20B or Rule 20C provisions apply. Non-rule 20 undergrounding projects are driven by SCE’s assessment through the wildfire mitigation plan to lower wildfire risk in a specific area.

Undergrounding is a very complex project, and because of that, the timing of the work is subject to change as the work progresses. Work will typically occur from 7 a.m.-7 p.m., Monday through Friday and with occasional work on weekends. The times will be the same for undergrounding work but may require 24-hour work for underground drilling in some locations.

SCE vehicles will feature the company’s logo. Anyone associated with the work will also carry ID badges.

The grid hardening work may require occasional access to individual property, but notification will be made ahead of time to property owners. We understand the stress that traffic can have on all of our lives and SCE will work very closely with the city on public outreach around the traffic impacts so we can make sure folks plan their commute and daily errands around the closures.  We can’t eliminate the impact of lane closures, but we can minimize inconveniences by spreading the word.

There can be power outages when installing covered conductor or undergrounding overhead lines. SCE recognizes that temporary outages can be inconvenient. The outages are necessary to ensure worker and public safety while the work is taking place. These outages are typically planned and communicated to customers in advance to minimize inconvenience. SCE will work to notify customers by phone, text, email or mail at least 72 hours before the outages so you can take any necessary precautions. Please be aware, however, that timing can change for safety reasons. It’s possible that an outage can be rescheduled, canceled or end earlier than planned. A notification will include a Scheduled Outage Number that may be entered into SCE’s Outage Map to receive the latest updates. 

If you believe SCE is responsible for damage to your property incurred during the undergrounding work, you may submit a claim. SCE Claims department will evaluate claims on a case-by-case basis. You can find more information about filing a claim by visiting sce.com/claims.
