Dear Customer,

As Southern California Edison continues to monitor the situation across the Palos Verdes Peninsula (PVP), we recognize the ongoing challenges you and your neighbors face. We have been working to restore power where and when it is safe to do so.

Over the past few months, we have enhanced our monitoring of ground conditions. Although the data shows that land movement has slowed in some areas, restoring power depends on several factors, including the ongoing rate and pattern of land movement, infrastructure conditions and favorable weather conditions that reduce wildfire risk.

As we prepare to safely restore power in Rolling Hills, our crews will inspect our infrastructure and repair or replace equipment, which may involve heavy machinery and construction. For those eligible for service restoration, you will be contacted by phone with information about the timeline and requirements for power restoration.

How to Prepare for Safe Power Restoration

Customers eligible for power restoration must request necessary inspections and receive a permit for any self-generation installed, including solar, battery storage, and gas-powered generators. To schedule an inspection or to inquire about the permitting process, please contact your city. If you have questions regarding the interconnection process for installed self-generation, please contact SCE’s South Bay Service Planning Office at (310) 783-9389.

SCE cannot restore power if any of the following conditions exist: 1) restricted access to the meter; 2) all applicable inspection results and permits have not been provided to SCE; 3) any changes have been made to SCE’s service wires; 4) the SCE meter is removed from its socket; or 5) the electrical or structural conditions are deemed unsafe. These conditions must be addressed before power can be safely restored.

While electric service will be restored to some customers, future conditions may require turning power off again to protect public safety. Additional work is planned to implement long-term solutions to safely provide electric service and increase grid resiliency within and around areas of ground movement. The planned work, which may include installing taller poles equipped with specialized hardware designed to relieve wire tension and tolerate slight land movement, will require lengthy outages to complete.
