Edison International

Edison International is a public utility holding company headquartered in Rosemead, California. Its principal subsidiary, Southern California Edison (SCE), is one of the largest electric utilities in the United States, delivering electricity to roughly 15 million people across a 50,000-square-mile service area. The company also owns Edison Energy, an unregulated arm that provides energy services to commercial and industrial clients nationwide. The lineage traces back to 1886, when Holt & Knupps began stringing streetlights in Visalia, California, a modest start that evolved through mergers and acquisitions into the modern corporate structure.

Today, Edison International is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker EIX. Its mission centers on providing clean and reliable energy, with significant investments in grid modernization and renewable integration. SCE operates one of the largest transmission and distribution networks in the country, and the company has committed to delivering 100% carbon-free electricity by 2045, aligning with California's ambitious climate goals. Beyond its core utility operations, Edison Energy helps large businesses manage energy procurement and sustainability strategies, reflecting a broader push into the evolving energy services market.

The company's recent history has been shaped by California's wildfire crisis. In 2025, the Eaton Fire devastated communities in the Los Angeles area, and investigations have pointed to SCE equipment as the ignition source. This has created substantial legal and financial exposure, prompting CEO Pedro Pizarro to advocate for legislative reforms to address wildfire liability. Despite these challenges, the company remains a cornerstone of Southern California's infrastructure, actively working on rebuilding efforts and maintaining its century-old commitment to powering the region.
