Edison International · Rosemead, CA United States ·(NYSE: EIX)

Although Edison International has been around the world, the company's largest subsidiary is still Southern California Edison (SCE), which distributes electricity to a population of more than 13 million people in central, coastal, and southern California; it is the leading purchaser of renewable energy in the US. The utility's system consists of about 12,000 circuit miles of transmission lines and more than 111,500 circuit miles of distribution lines. SCE also has 5,000 MW of generating capacity from interests in nuclear, hydroelectric, and fossil-fueled power plants. Edison created an international portfolio through Edison Mission Energy (EME), but it has pulled back on most of its international operations. To read the full description, subscribe now.
