Resources
Our EPIC library collects and organizes resources including presentations, project final reports and management plans, whitepapers and technical papers. These resources contribute to ongoing coordination, dialogue and understanding among administrators, stakeholders, interested parties and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), while raising awareness of demonstration projects.
Join Us for an EPIC Public Outreach Workshop
As SCE works on technology demonstrations to meet California’s clean energy future, we want to make sure EPIC administrators, the CPUC, interested parties and stakeholders are informed and understand the EPIC projects we are initiating. Please join us for one of our online webinars where you can learn more and have the opportunity to provide feedback on these projects before they launch. Your input could help shape our demonstration projects. Project presentations and workshop recordings will be posted on this page.
Public Workshop
These webinars provide fellow EPIC administrators, the CPUC and the public with information about our EPIC projects. You’ll hear about how these projects support a clean energy future and advance wildfire safety.
