Southern California Edison Energy Transition Journey

As organizations continue on their energy transition journey, California remains a leader in renewable energy targets, driven in part by natural disasters like heat waves and wildfires, along with an increasing energy demand.

Southern California Edison CEO Steve Powell sat down with Chris Rogers, partner at Guidehouse, and the Public Utilities Fortnightly's Steve Mitnick to discuss the challenges and opportunities the utility is facing in its decarbonization journey.  The discussion covers key updates in the energy industry and focuses on demand response in dealing with heat waves, the growing electricity demand, balancing decarbonization efforts with affordability, as well as the biggest challenges and opportunities in the pathway to 2045.
