How are circuits selected?
Most of SCE’s circuits are subject to these rotating outages. Under the CPUC’s rules, only those circuits that serve specifically designated classes of customers who provide essential public health, safety, and security services (such as large hospitals and fire and police stations) are exempted from these outages. All remaining circuits are arranged into groups that represent all customer types (i.e., residential, commercial and industrial) and are dispersed throughout SCE’s 50,000-square-mile service area.
