The road to rebuilding can be tough to navigate — including figuring out how to restore electric service.
Southern California Edison’s Guide to Rebuilding With SCE is designed to make the process safe and simple. The guide outlines what you need to know about temporary power during construction, preparing for permanent electric service and how to apply for it, plus additional support resources.
What to Know
- Start Early: Submitting your service request as soon as possible helps avoid delays.
- Step-by-Step Support: SCE provides guidance and support throughout the permitting, inspection and energization process. Each property is unique and may present different circumstances. Meeting with an SCE service planner can help you understand what work may be needed. Learn more at SCE’s Disaster Recovery page.
Additional Resources
- Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program: For those directly impacted by the Eaton Fire, the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program can help. The program is designed to provide fair resolutions and fast payments to eligible individuals and businesses. Participation in the program is completely voluntary and open through Nov. 30, 2026.
- Infrastructure Improvements: SCE’s rebuilding plan includes undergrounding in Altadena, Malibu and neighboring areas as part of a long-term commitment to reducing wildfire risk and improving reliability.
