Abstract
SCE has been researching and investing in renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, and hydropower since the 1970s. This commitment to renewables stemmed from federal and state regulations aimed at reducing air pollution and—more recently—greenhouse gas emissions as well as the need to meet the growing capacity requirements of California’s population, which has grown steadily for decades. SCE sees competitive pressures, new technologies, and aggressive environmental policies where the energy sector is expected to contribute significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gases as prominent drivers of industry change in the coming years. The company will continue to adapt its business strategy to navigate through these changes, leveraging its experience and skill in pioneering new technologies to re-envision a flexible, resilient grid that enables customer choice and clean, sustainable energy.
