S.D.G.& E. is another electric company. That stands for San Diego Gas & Electric. This company has about three million customers. Unfortunately, some customers are angry with this crisis and these rising prices. S.D.G.& E. has installed 1.2 million meters in San Diego. They also deliver electricity to 2 counties and 25 cities. They are also the main company of San Diego.

In California, there is a electric company that is called S.C.E. or Southern California Edison. Southern California Edison supplies electricity to many people, such as 11 million people, 800 communities, 5000 large businesses, and 280,000 small businesses. They have been helping Southern Californians through this crisis by giving electricity saving tips to the affected people. Some of these people have experienced stage 3 power outages. That is when the electricity reserves drop below one and one half percent. When that happens, all of the power may be sucked out of a house. S.C.E. has been trying to stop this.

Sempra Energy is the parent of many energy companies. (S.D.G.& E. is one of the companies owned by Sempra.) Sempra is a major seller of electricity. With 12,000 employees, Sempra is a huge company. They are also responsible for doing many things in this crisis. (Did you know that the word "Semper" is Latin for "always"?) They seem to always be trying to get rid of this energy problem. These are some other energy companies:
