Jennifer Granholm Joins Edison International, Socal Edison Boards

Jennifer Granholm, former U.S. Secretary of Energy, has been appointed to the boards of Edison International and its subsidiary Southern California Edison, effective April 1, 2025. Her appointment follows her tenure where she oversaw significant investments in clean energy and infrastructure, including a $600 million federal grant to upgrade electric transmission lines. Granholm's background in energy policy and cybersecurity is expected to enhance the companies' efforts in advancing sustainable energy solutions and improving grid resilience. Edison International, one of the largest electric utility holding companies in the U.S., serves approximately 15 million customers in California. This move comes amid ongoing lawsuits against Southern California Edison linked to its equipment's role in recent wildfires. The leadership at Edison expressed optimism regarding the guidance Granholm will provide based on her extensive experience in the energy sector.
