History and When Edison International Was Founded
Edison International was founded in 1886, originally as Southern California Edison (SCE) in California, United States. The company emerged during the expansion of electrification in the country, with the goal of supplying electricity to communities in Southern California.
In its early years, the company operated small-scale local power generation and distribution systems, expanding alongside the region’s industrial and population growth. Over the decades, SCE increased its infrastructure, incorporating new hydroelectric and thermal power plants.
In 1996, as part of a corporate restructuring, Edison International was established as the holding company overseeing Southern California Edison and other subsidiaries focused on energy, investment, and technology.
Throughout the 2000s, Edison International strengthened investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and grid modernization, aligned with global energy-transition trends.
Between 2020 and 2024, the company increased investments in resilient infrastructure, clean-energy projects, smart grid technologies, and climate-risk mitigation — especially in response to the rise of wildfires in California, which significantly affected its service territory.
