Southern California Edison is a California‑based electric utility serving around 15 million people across more than 50,000 square miles. Facing significant wildfire risk, the company focuses on measuring and improving outcomes from targeted mitigation strategies designed to reduce fires caused by its infrastructure. SCE also refines the use of proactive public safety power shutoffs to balance risk reduction and service reliability.
