Edison International Research Report

On June 7, 2013, Edison International (Edison) issued a press release noting that wildfires burning in the Southern California region serve as a reminder to Southern California Edison (SCE) customers of the significance of energy conservation. The experts stated that Powerhouse fire, which has burned more than 30,000 acres to date, is an early indication for Californians to prepare for a longer than normal fire season. For the month of May 2013, 15 fires have occurred compared to an average of four in May 2010, 2011, and 2012. The Company alerted that fires can affect utility infrastructures, as well as power fed to the grid, which provide electric service to millions of customers across SCE's service territory. The extreme heat generated may result in unexpected service interruptions. SCE encourages customers to conserve electricity by preventing higher electricity demands, since increased demand may significantly overload the grid.
