Southern California Edison

Today's Southern California Edison is the product of more than a century of providing reliable electric service to central, coastal and southern California.
We help our customers stretch their energy dollars through rebates, which
they can receive through SCE's award-winning energy efficiency programs.
Customers can receive incentives for helping to control power demand through
"demand-response" programs, which help to keep wholesale supplies and prices
under control.
As part of our commitment to environmental protection, the electric power we provide for our customers includes more alternate and renewable energy (16.7%), from a greater variety of resources, than nearly any other utility in the world. We have been active in efforts to improve Southern California air quality since the 1940s.
SCE is also an active donor to community and educational causes. SCE employee volunteers annually donate more than 700,000 hours of work to community and non-profit organizations.
SCE's ethnically and culturally diverse customer base contains one of the
largest concentrations of non-English speaking residents in California. Our
company celebrates and accommodates the diversity of the community it serves
through in-languages services and special programs. An emphasis on diversity
strategies, operational goals and accountability helped SCE maintain its rank in
the top tier of Fortune magazine's annual list of the top 50 companies in
America for ethnic minorities, placing high on the list at number eight. This is
SCE's seventh consecutive year receiving this recognition, which highlights the
company's commitment to develop a work force of first-rate professionals that
embraces diversity and reflects the customers it serves.
