Southern California Edison’s customers
frequently see and hear company
safety messages—on billboards, in
radio ads and on SCE.com, for example.
In March 2012, SCE’s Corporate
Health & Safety launched the e-SMARTkids website
to bring those messages to millions of children
throughout the company’s service territory.
The website helps children learn about electrical
safety issues, including power line safety, what
to do in an electrical emergency and how to stay
safe around appliances. By providing an interactive
experience, through video and games, it encourages
kids to have fun while learning about
electricity.
The “Electrical Safety World” video series accessible
on the site provides basic information
about electricity. Games allow kids to look for hidden
electrical dangers and discover how electrical
circuits work. There’s also a glossary, which defines
electrical terms in kid-friendly language, and
the “Ask an Expert” section lets parents and kids
ask energy-related questions.
Adults can also find useful information. Teachers
can learn how to incorporate electrical safety
into their curricula, and a section for parents provides
additional safety resources and tips.
Developed in collaboration with the Culver
Company, which helps electric, water and natural
gas utilities educate their communities about safety
and environmental
sustainability,
the website
is one of several
e-SMARTkids
websites hosted
by electrical utilities
around the country. SCE reviews the content
provided by Culver and tailors it to the company’s
unique requirements.
In December, SCE’s e-SMARTkids website received
a “Best in Class” award from the Interactive
Media Awards, beating out 76 other entrants in
the Energy category. “We customized our site to be
highly accessible to users with disabilities, so we
scored well on usability,” said La Cresha Grayson,
Public Safety Communications & Outreach manager.
“This award shows that SCE is committed
to making safety information accessible to every
child within our service territory.”

Cap-and-Trade in California
California’s cap-and-trade regulation will impact the choices Southern
California Edison makes about which sources of energy it adds to its
portfolio in the coming years.
To comply with the Global
Warming Solutions Act
of 2006, known as AB 32,
and reduce California’s
greenhouse gas emissions
such as carbon
dioxide to 1990 levels,
the state has placed a cap
on emissions that will be
reduced by two to three
percent each year through
2020.
As the cap is reduced, the state will need to
reduce its emissions. One way is to reduce
the amount of fossil fuels it burns. If
companies can’t reduce their greenhouse gases,
they will have to purchase permits called
allowances to cover their remaining emissions.
Companies, including Southern California Edison,
will have a choice of reducing their emissions or
purchasing allowances—for example, at auctions.
This will mean that the price of allowances
is determined by the market, providing an
incentive to companies to lower their emissions.
Proceeds from the sale of some allowances will
be returned to some California utility customers
to offset the increase in electricity costs
resulting from the cap-and-trade program.
One allowance authorizes a company to
emit one ton of carbon dioxide. Each year,
the California Air Resources Board distributes
allowances equal to the number of tons of
emissions California can produce.

Safety and security are top of
mind for Security Specialist Neal
Johnson. A 30-year Southern California
Edison employee, his role
in Corporate Security’s Corporate
Investigative and Protective Services group is
to protect the physical security of SCE’s power
grid and assets—from substations to employees—within
the Metro West region, which
spans from Beverly Hills to Long Beach.
Neal began his career as a security guard
at SCE and continued in that role until 1999,
when he became a security specialist in the
Long Beach Regional Office.
Part of his job involves conducting
inspections at each of SCE’s substations, service
centers and work locations to ensure security
systems are functioning properly and best suited
to protect the employees and equipment on site.
He also works closely
with local law enforcement
agencies to discuss
any developing concerns
in the area or share information,
helping to ensure
the company is ready to
react if needed.
“The qualities you
would find in a security
specialist are similar
to those found in
a police officer: high
morale and ethics, integrity
and self-discipline,”
said Neal. “Most of Corporate
Security’s specialists
also have a law
enforcement or military
background.”

parking lots and around the facility.
During the day, Neal checks the perimeter for
unusual conditions, such as breaks in the fence
or overgrown trees that someone could use to get
onto the property.
Neal writes up a report of his findings, which he
gives to the Transmission & Distribution site manager.
His work continues as he collaborates with
site management to develop a plan of action.
“The company’s highest priority is safety, but
safety and security go hand-in-hand,” said Neal.
“As a part of Corporate Security, I’m proud of our
commitment to a shared goal of making employees
feel safe and secure at work.”

In September 2012, the Edison Stories
Video Contest launched as an opportunity
for Edison International employees
and retirees to record, share and preserve
their company stories while creatively
showing off their video skills.
The details
Corporate Communications launched a pilot video
program in May, inviting employees to come
to the General Office and record their stories on
camera. These pilot videos spurred an idea to expand
Edison Stories into a video contest hosted by
Inside Edison. The contest raised the bar, asking
retirees and employees to create unique videos
telling the story of what they do, their favorite Edison
moments, career lessons learned or what they
like best about their job—in three minutes or less.
Participants had six weeks to create and submit
their videos.
The outcome
From the initial how-to video to the submissions
themselves, the contest proved to be a big success.
The 13 submitted videos were viewed more
than 13,000 times. To make this a contest by and
for the people of Edison International, employees
and retirees had three weeks to watch and vote for
their favorites to select the winner and runner-up.
A total of 835 votes were cast, and 91 comments
were posted on the Edison Stories webpage.
“Storytelling helps us connect with each other,”
said Janet Clayton, senior vice president, Edison
International Corporate Communications. “This
program is an opportunity to remind one another
of our shared purpose and humanity and strengthens
the understanding that what we do matters.”
The Edison Stories Video Contest will be back
in 2013, giving everyone another chance to tell
their story.
“Edison Archive” by Kathy Arata, Christopher Cerdon,
Christine Featherston, David Lee and Daniel Skora
A team from Southern California Edison’s Plant
Accounting and Property Tax departments joined forces
to create “Edison Archive,” a video about the rich history
of the company and the importance of passing it along
to future generations. But the video almost didn’t happen.
“We didn’t start working on it until about a week before the
deadline,” said Daniel Skora, Plant Accounting financial analyst.
“There was a point when we were ready to give up, but the team
came together and persevered to finish.
It turned out to be a great team-building
experience!”
“It’s been a tough year for the
company,” said Kathy Arata, Plant
Accounting accountant. “We’ve made
history with what we do, though, and
we saw this as a perfect opportunity to
tell our story and show our company
pride, all while having fun.”
“For the Birds” by Hernan Troya
In his job as a streetlight repairman, Transmission & Distribution’s
Hernan Troya travels the streets of Orange County, often encountering
various kinds of birds perched on the lights. “I see birds all the time—
they come with the job—so creating a video about them seemed to
be the perfect way to show people why I love doing what I do.”

A Historic Partnership,
A Bright Future
After five years of negotiations,
Southern California Edison and
the Morongo Band of Mission
Indians signed a historic agreement
on Nov. 27 that will help ensure customers
have access to renewable power for future
generations.
SCE has six transmission lines located on
tribal lands, some predating both SCE ownership
of the lines and Morongo ownership of the
land. The new right-of-way agreement will allow
continued use and improvement of these
transmission lines for 50 years, and will also
support SCE’s West of Devers Upgrade Project,
SCE’s next major transmission project.
“We want to build a ‘transmission superhighway’
stretching from the Colorado River
to the L.A. basin,” said SCE President Ron
Litzinger. “The existing transmission facilities
in Morongo are like a two-lane road in the
middle of it, so upgrading this area is critical to
realizing the vision.”
SCE’s West of Devers Upgrade Project
aims to improve the transmission corridor
west of Devers Substation (near Palm Springs,
Calif.), which is at full capacity. The project
will replace approximately 48 miles of 220-kV
transmission lines with new, higher-capacity
lines, including eight miles within the Morongo
Reservation, between Devers Substation and El
Casco Substation (in Western Riverside County),
Vista Substation (in Grand Terrace, Calif.)
and San Bernardino Substation.
“The West of Devers project will provide
the capacity necessary to bring renewable generation
from desert areas in Blythe and Desert
Center, Calif., to customer load centers west of
Devers, helping make the power grid greener
for California,” said Transmission & Distribution
Vice President of Engineering & Technical
Services Kevin Payne.
In addition to the right-of-way agreement,
Morongo has the option to become a passive
investor in the West of Devers project.
Allowing an outside investor means potentially
freeing up internal capital for other
projects, and could be a model for raising
capital for large infrastructure projects.
“Our team negotiated an innovative arrangement
with Morongo, which aligns their
interests with the project’s success,” said
Litzinger. “Our willingness to take a new approach
to these negotiations created a winwin
situation for everyone involved.”
SCE will file an application with the California
Public Utilities Commission for permission
to construct the upgrade project later in
2013, with construction scheduled to begin in
2016. The Bureau of Indian Affairs will need to
approve the right-of-way agreement.

Long Beach Ship Substation Energized
Ship Substation in Long Beach, Calif., was energized in November.
Walnut Creek
Peaker Plant Fires Up
Walnut Creek Peaker Plant in City of Industry, Calif.
The Long Beach Ship Substation was energized
in November, completing the first phase of its
construction.
The substation is part of an agreement between
Southern California Edison and the Port of Long
Beach to engineer and construct an expanded
energy system at the port. Ship Substation will
eventually provide power for buildings, cranes,
electric vehicle charging stations and ships as cargo
is unloaded, allowing onboard diesel generators
to be turned off and reducing carbon emissions.
“The port electrification project is a 10-year
effort,” said Dalton Cobb, Project Management
Organization project manager. “Ship Substation
is the first step in transforming the port into the
greenest container-moving facility in the county.”
On Dec. 29, Edison Mission
Energy’s Walnut Creek Peaker
Plant in City of Industry, Calif.,
achieved “first fire,” or had natural
gas burned in the turbines for
the first time—a milestone in its
construction.
Following the initial firing, each of
the plant’s five turbines will undergo
a 30- to 60-day commissioning and
testing period before the plant is
ready for commercial operation.
“First fire means we’re a major
step closer to the plant being complete,”
said Kris Kjellman, EME
project manager. “After over a year
of construction, it’s great to see everything
come together to achieve
this significant milestone.”
Interactive Play Teaches Kids
Electrical Safety
In December, Edison International, in partnership
with the National Theater for Children,
presented “A Bug’s Light,” a play about electrical
safety, to Southern Californian elementary school
students in Compton, San Bernardino, Ontario,
Tulare, South Gate and Bell.
The live performances educated students on
how electricity is produced and used. The play also
provided tips on how to identify dangerous situations
and stay safe around electricity, specifically
around downed power lines.
“Southern California Edison wants everyone to
stay safe throughout the year,” said Henry Martinez,
vice president of Safety, Security & Compliance.
“These school children will learn valuable
lessons about electrical safety, which they can take
home and share with their families.”
EME Files for Chapter 11
Bankruptcy Protection
On Dec. 17, Edison Mission Energy
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy,
meaning EME can stay in business, operating
as normal and paying its employees,
while undergoing financial
restructuring.
EME filed for bankruptcy because low
power prices and rising costs of environmental
compliance led to insufficient
cash flow to pay its debts.
The move effectively ends Edison International’s
ownership of EME, which
dates back to 1986. When EME emerges
from Chapter 11, it will be under new
ownership. The bankruptcy filing will
not impact Southern California Edison’s
operations.
“Several of us have long histories with
EME and this is indeed a difficult parting
made necessary by financial conditions,”
said Ted Craver, Edison International
chairman and CEO.
“A Bug’s Light” taught elementary school students
about electrical safety.

toxic pollutant sometimes
found in transformers manufactured prior
to 1980. In 2012, the program aimed to remove 96
contaminated transformers and achieved a 95 percent
success rate, removing 91 distribution transformers
verified to contain high levels of PCB.
“The program goal is to remove suspect units
before they leak, potentially releasing PCBs, which
results in more costly cleanup efforts than removing
them while intact,” said Mary Zepeda, Corporate
Environmental Services project manager.
In 2013, the program aims to remove 136 contaminated
transformers.

This month, Inside Edison interviews
Edison International
Senior Vice President of Corporate
Communications Janet Clayton.
QWhat was it like growing up in L.A. in
the 1960s?
I grew up with a great sense of security and happiness.
My dad was an elevator operator, and I
thought he was very important because he had the
coolest uniform I’d ever seen. I never knew my mom
worked until later because she was there when I
went to bed and there when I got up. But she was a
nurse who worked the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift.
My parents and my sister and I had a little
house on 75th Street, near Crenshaw. It was very
safe and quiet. I went to the park
until dark, rode my bike. People
actually obeyed the traffic laws,
and we were free, much freer
than my kids have been because
it was a different place then.
Q
Did
you always know what you wanted to do
for a career?
No. When I was a kid, I was asthmatic and sick a
lot, so I would read and draw. I thought I wanted
to be an artist until I finally took an art class in
high school. After an aptitude test in high school
suggested journalism, I joined the high school paper,
and I realized people would tell me the things
that were going on and I could get paid for it.
QYou have a degree in journalism from the
University of Southern California. What are
some of the highlights from your time there?
I met my husband at USC, who was also studying
journalism. I was also in the marching band.
Musicians are crazy people, and they know how to
have a good time!
QYou’ve worked at Edison for a year and
a half. What’s one of the biggest changes
you’ve seen?
I see employees reaching out more to top management,
and top management reaching back, a lot
more than when I first arrived. It’s amazing to hear
and see employees talk directly with Ted and Ron
at the monthly roundtables about things they’d
heard, but weren’t sure were true. The directness
and conversations are a very positive thing.
QWhat kinds of experiences at other places
you’ve worked, such as the L.A. Times, have
shaped you as a person?
Telling the truth as you know it is an important
part of journalism, but it’s something I’ve always
carried with me. I try to bring it into the work I do
now because the reality is that most people want
you to be straight with them, even if the answer is
“I don’t know.”

During plant construction in the early 1900s, a small
town was built to house workers. That town still exists,
and new duplex apartments were constructed in 2010
for station operators.”
