The two teams from Tulare got together to practice before competing in the SCE Lineman's Rodeo in Chino. 

With their regular third teammate unavailable, Jose Leon (middle) and Fernando Valenzuela (right) enlisted another lineman from their service center to help them practice for the rodeo.

Battery storage isn't just for solar. Facilities like the McCoy Battery Storage Facility in Blyth, California, can charge from the grid when supply is plentiful and help keep the lights on during peak demand. 

Battery units at SCE's Mira Loma Battery Energy Storage Facility are used to send stored energy back to the grid when customers need it most. 

The Vista Switching Center connects to substations like this one, where system operators work behind the scenes to keep power flowing safely and reliably during fast-changing grid conditions.

Crews rely on calls with system operators to help them safely turn power on and off from the field.

At his console, Charles Bennett tracks shifting grid conditions to direct electricity along safer, steadier routes.

Keep your dorm fire-safe this semester by charging devices the right way.
