Planned outages upset SoCal Edison customers

With temperatures exceeding 90 degrees in some areas, tens of thousands of residents throughout Southern California had their power shut off for planned maintenance. Tena Ezzeddine reports.

Criminal behavior. It’s completely outrageous. If only they spent that money putting lines underground to prevent line failure and save money on future maintenance and upkeep costs. Our country is a mess.

So are we ready to have all the homes start charging cars?

[kgraham]

Groceries are way too expensive for most of us to just toss out. Send Edison your bill.

I NEVER had any scheduled outages during the milder months. This is f’ed up!

[abcfhdi]

last time they had a scheduled outage the power never actually went off so I made arrangements when I could have just stayed home. there was no notice or maybe there was, but I remember checking the website and it said there was an outage after seeing a news story like this and there wasn't.

At least they got notified here where i live the last two times they did maintenance they didn’t even bother to leave a notice that the power was getting turned off

Idk why they don't do these in cooler weather.

[PeteGeorge]

Cant wait to charge all of our electric cars... 🤣🤣

[BloomGrow]

Hmm and I wonder if this was only planned for the low income communities 🤔🧐

[missmindersue]

Yet they want us to buy electric cars with all these outages??? G f y 🤣😂🤣 NCSWIC 🇺🇸

What is the difference between California and the Titanic. The Titanic had its lights on when it's sank.

Here in the Ie we didn’t get notice until AFTER power was back on. We got an email saying. You had a power outage! No kidding Sherlock.

I'm in Bell Gardens, SCE has an outage scheduled for July 19th 10:00pm until July 20th 8:00am. They are closing our alley that parallels Florence Avenue, we all park in the back, nobody told us where we should park. We already have more cars than parking places.

[mrchsehed]

They sent us a letter for July 1st but our power stayed on the entire day. 🤷‍♂️

[nomenclature]

Sign up for outage alerts. Plan accordingly.

Edison shot off our electricity in the area on thanksgiving afternoon till midnight in 2021..

[sonicrockmanx]

I used to live in a area where Edison was the electric company and they suck. Yeah their rates are somewhat ok, but their services suck. Just like this. Power outages and power outages and power outages. They suck.

No wonder people are moving to Mexico. We have turned into a third world country spending money for infrastructure on the military in disquise of helping Ukraine.

[artisaprimus]

Don't live there, thank God. Citizens are probably paying the highest utility costs in the nation, because it's CA after all.

Welcome to my world. I work 6 days a week but live in an old broken down RV on the street without electricity or running water. This is everyday life for me.
