SCE Updates

July 30, 2024

Below is a letter to impacted customers from Jill C. Anderson, SCE executive vice president and COO:

On Oct. 3, 2023, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes declared a local emergency due to accelerated land movement and subsidence. Your property has been identified as being within the landslide area. Over the past 18 months, there has been considerable land movement putting the utilities serving the area and your property at risk. The purpose of this letter is to advise that Southern California Edison's service to your property may be discontinued if conditions warrant.

Nothing is more important than the safety of our team members, customers and the public. The ground movement affecting your neighborhood has created unsafe and hazardous conditions, which have already impacted SCE's infrastructure, causing power poles to lean and power lines to fail. The impact on SCE's equipment caused by these hazardous conditions increases the risk of system failure, fire ignition or other public safety hazards.

SCE will continue to serve your community as long as it is safe to do so. We are working with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and Los Angeles County officials to monitor area conditions as they evolve.

We recognize the impact the potential of discontinued service has, and we appreciate your understanding. We will make every effort to provide timely communications regarding any impact to your service, however, the dynamic conditions in the area may not allow for advance notification. Because of this, customers in the area are encouraged to begin planning for the potential suspension of electric service.
