History and Development
The origins of the company date back to 1886 with the creation of Southern California Edison, established to supply electricity to growing communities in Southern California during the early expansion of electrification in the United States.
As the region’s population and industrial base expanded, the utility grew its generation capacity and transmission infrastructure, building power plants and expanding distribution networks across the state.
In 1996, Edison International was created as a holding company overseeing Southern California Edison and other energy-related subsidiaries. Since then, the group has focused on strengthening electric grid infrastructure and supporting California’s transition toward cleaner energy systems.
Today, Edison International continues to invest in renewable energy integration, grid modernization, and wildfire mitigation initiatives, which are critical priorities for maintaining reliable energy supply in California’s evolving energy landscape.
