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.

Plugging in near his Valencia home, Naim Rahim charges the EV that an SCE rebate helped him afford.

After receiving a $4,000 rebate from SCE, Naim Rahim is able to keep the pre-owned EV he has grown to love.

Naim Rahim enjoys the technology, quiet ride and quick acceleration of his first electric vehicle.

Working alongside local utility teams, SCE crews stabilized broken or leaning structures damaged by Hurricane Lowell.

After storms damaged the electric system across Kauaʻi, SCE crews helped the Kauaʻi Island Utility Cooperative rebuild poles needed to safely deliver power.

Deep in Kauaʻi’s heavily wooded terrain, SCE lineworkers made repairs under conditions far different from those they typically encounter at home.
