Southern California Edison (SCE) is committed to delivering electricity from renewable generation resources in order to help meet California’s goals for a clean, green energy future. To meet those important goals, SCE is proposing the West of Devers Upgrade Project. The project will primarily consist of upgrading existing transmission lines within an existing transmission corridor. These upgrades will provide additional capacity to allow new renewable generation to be delivered to the power grid.
