Southern California Edison

Southern California Edison (SCE) is the regulated electric utility subsidiary of Edison International, delivering power to roughly 15 million people across a 50,000 square-mile service territory in central, coastal, and southern California. In the United States energy value chain SCE sits at the distribution and retail layer as an investor-owned utility (IOU) regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission, operating the meters, the distribution grid, and the customer of record relationship that every downstream energy-data platform, DER aggregator, demand response provider, and solar installer ultimately depends on. Its API posture splits cleanly in two. Consumer data is mandated but closed to the open web - SCE runs Green Button Connect My Data through its Customer Data Access platform under CPUC tariff Rule 26 (Advice 3087-E, Decision 14-05-016), and states publicly that third parties need OAuth 2.0 and bulk API capability consistent with the NAESB ESPI standard, but publishes no developer portal, no base URI, no OpenAPI, and no sandbox - a third party must register with a Taxpayer Identification Number, accept terms, and pass a machine-to-machine connectivity test before any endpoint is disclosed. Grid data is genuinely open - SCE's Distribution Resources Plan External Portal (DRPEP) serves Integration Capacity Analysis, distribution circuit, PSPS, fire map, and load growth layers over an anonymous, unauthenticated ArcGIS REST service catalog that any developer can query today without a key.

Southern California Edison publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including DRPEP Portal API, Feature Services API, Query API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Energy, United States, Utilities, Electricity, and Smart Metering.

Southern California Edison’s developer surface includes developer portal, signup flow, documentation, support, authentication, and 19 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/southern-california-edison: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  name: SCE Green Button Connect My Data
  description: SCE's Customer Data Access (CDA) platform, through which a customer can authorize a registered third party
    to receive their electric usage and billing data. SCE states on its public third-party page that the program "leverages
    technology consistent with the standard adopted by the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB) to support the Green
    Button Initiative" and that third parties must have "technical system capabilities to complete customer authorization
    using OAuth 2.0 and process files that are transferred using bulk API." No base URI, endpoint list, OpenAPI definition,
    scope list, or sandbox is published anywhere on sce.com - the interface is disclosed only after a third party registers,
    provides a Taxpayer Identification Number, accepts the Third Party Registration Terms & Conditions, and passes an SCE-run
    connectivity test. The obligation to offer it is a California regulatory one, carried in SCE tariff Rule 26 "Release of
    Customer Data or Energy Usage Related Data to Third Parties" (Advice 3087-E, filed 2014-07-30, effective 2014-08-29, implementing
    CPUC Decision 14-05-016), which explicitly ties technical eligibility criteria to the NAESB ESPI standard.
