A Message from Pedro J. Pizarro, President and CEO
We are proud to accelerate progress toward an affordable clean energy future while meeting the needs of customers today. A future of greater electrification offers good jobs, cleaner air and healthier communities. With the dangers of climate change relentlessly accelerating, the need for continued economywide action driving the clean energy transition has never been greater.
2024 At A Glance
Sustainability is at the core of our vision to lead the transformation of the electric power industry toward a resilient and affordable clean energy future. Edison International is helping create a world where homes and businesses, cars, trucks and mass transit are powered by carbon-free electricity, customers benefit from reduced energy costs and communities are resilient to climate impacts through strategic adaptation measures.
Our principal subsidiary, Southern California Edison, is a leader in California’s efforts to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that contribute to climate change, while also focusing on the grid investments needed to secure a safer, more resilient clean energy economy for all customers. Our competitive business, Trio, partners with leading corporate, industrial and institutional clients around the globe to help them deliver on their strategic, financial, energy and sustainability goals.
Leading An Affordable Clean Energy Transition
Rapid electrification is society’s most important tool to achieve net-zero GHG emissions — for our company, the state of California and beyond. Our strategy to lead the clean energy transition provides a roadmap for others; it is risk-informed, based on climate modeling and expert analysis, and aligned with science and national and global commitments like the Paris Agreement.
Reaching Net Zero details Edison International’s plan to reach net zero and support California’s climate goals, building on previous analysis. It identifies risks and opportunities for California’s electric sector transformation through robust scenario analysis and outlines our ongoing actions to ensure a safe, reliable and affordable clean energy transition.
