Descriptions

Provides SCE customers in high fire risk areas with back-up power options to help them prepare for Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS).

More information:

Rebates for Generators and Back up Power, here: Helps pay for portable emergency backup power (generator or portable battery) to offer power during outages.
