SCE Conducting Aerial Inspections

Over the next few weeks, Southern California Edison will be conducting aerial inspections in local neighborhoods utilizing drones and/or helicopters. SCE inspectors are using drones and helicopters to inspect equipment in hard-to-reach areas and from difficult angles. The focus of these operations is electrical assets, structures and right of ways that support these assets. These inspections are just one part of SCE’s broader wildfire prevention and mitigation program focusing on keeping communities safe.

The amount of time it takes to conduct aerial inspections varies.

SCE also announced that work will be conducted in the area that might cause temporary power outages.
