aid: southern-california-edison url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/southern-california-edison/refs/heads/main/apis.yml name: Southern California Edison kind: company description: 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. image: https://kinlane-images.s3.amazonaws.com/shared/apis-json/icons/southern-california-edison.png tags: - Energy - United States - Utilities - Electricity - Smart Metering - Green Button - Grid - Demand Response - Solar - DER - EV Charging - California created: '2026-07-27' modified: '2026-07-27' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - aid: southern-california-edison:sce-green-button-connect-my-data 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. humanURL: https://www.sce.com/partners/3rd-party-energy-providers/access-energy-usage-data tags: - Green Button - Customer Data - Smart Metering - OAuth - ESPI properties: - type: Documentation url: https://www.sce.com/partners/3rd-party-energy-providers/access-energy-usage-data - type: Portal url: https://www.sce.com/partners/partnerships/thirdpartylandingpage - type: Signup url: https://www.sce.com/user-registration?userType=4 - type: TermsOfService url: https://www.sce.com/terms-conditions/customer-data-access-terms-conditions - type: Reference url: https://www.sce.com/sites/default/files/inline-files/Rule26.pdf - type: Reference url: https://www.sce.com/sites/default/files/inline-files/Data_Element_Descriptions_SCE_1.pdf - type: Support url: mailto:GreenButton@sce.com - type: Authentication url: authentication/southern-california-edison-authentication.yml - aid: southern-california-edison:sce-drpep-arcgis-rest-services name: SCE DRPEP ArcGIS REST Services description: The machine-readable grid data layer behind SCE's Distribution Resources Plan External Portal (DRPEP). An anonymous, unauthenticated Esri ArcGIS REST service catalog (server version 11.1) exposing fifteen hosted FeatureServers covering Integration Capacity Analysis circuit segments and constraint layers, distribution circuits, Distribution Deferral Opportunity Report and Grid Needs Assessment layers, Locational Net Benefit Analysis, PSPS boundaries, fire map, subtransmission and available-load heat maps, and load growth penetration. SCE publishes no developer documentation for these endpoints, but they are live, key-free, and self-describing over the standard Esri ArcGIS REST interface, and a companion ArcGIS Hub open data site is served at drpep-sce2.opendata.arcgis.com. This is the one place SCE data is genuinely open to any developer without registration. humanURL: https://drpep.sce.com/drpep/ baseURL: https://drpep.sce.com/arcgis_server/rest/services tags: - Grid - Integration Capacity Analysis - Open Data - GIS - Distributed Energy Resources properties: - type: APIReference url: https://drpep.sce.com/arcgis_server/rest/services/Hosted?f=json - type: Reference url: arcgis/sce-drpep-arcgis-services-catalog.json - type: Reference url: arcgis/sce-drpep-ica-layer-featureserver.json - type: Reference url: arcgis/sce-drpep-arcgis-rest-info.json - type: Documentation url: https://drpep.sce.com/drpep/ - type: Documentation url: https://drpep-sce2.opendata.arcgis.com/ - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/southern-california-edison-drpep-arcgis-openapi.yml - type: Overlay url: overlays/southern-california-edison-drpep-arcgis-overlay.yaml - type: JsonSchema url: json-schema/southern-california-edison-drpep-layers-schema.json - type: DataModel url: data-model/southern-california-edison-data-model.yml - type: Conventions url: conventions/southern-california-edison-conventions.yml - type: ErrorCatalog url: errors/southern-california-edison-error-codes.yml - type: Catalogs url: https://drpep-sce2.opendata.arcgis.com/api/feed/dcat-us/1.1.json common: - type: DomainSecurity url: security/southern-california-edison-domain-security.yml - type: Website url: https://www.sce.com/ - type: Portal url: https://www.sce.com/partners/partnerships/thirdpartylandingpage - type: Signup url: https://www.sce.com/user-registration?userType=4 - type: Documentation url: https://www.sce.com/partners/3rd-party-energy-providers/access-energy-usage-data - type: Documentation url: https://www.sce.com/regulatory/regulatory-information/energy-data-reports-compliances - type: Documentation url: https://www.sce.com/partners/3rd-party-energy-providers/rule-24-faqs - type: TermsOfService url: https://www.sce.com/terms-conditions/customer-data-access-terms-conditions - type: Support url: mailto:3RDPARTY@sce.com - type: LinkedIn url: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sce - type: PrivacyPolicy url: https://www.sce.com/privacy - type: Newsroom url: https://newsroom.edison.com/ - type: Authentication url: authentication/southern-california-edison-authentication.yml - type: Conventions url: conventions/southern-california-edison-conventions.yml - type: ErrorCatalog url: errors/southern-california-edison-error-codes.yml - type: Lifecycle url: lifecycle/southern-california-edison-lifecycle.yml - type: Conformance url: conformance/southern-california-edison-conformance.yml - type: DataModel url: data-model/southern-california-edison-data-model.yml - type: WellKnown url: well-known/southern-california-edison-well-known.yml - type: LLMsTxt url: llms/southern-california-edison-llms.txt - type: AgentSkill url: skills/_index.yml - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/southern-california-edison-drpep-arcgis-openapi.yml - type: JsonSchema url: json-schema/southern-california-edison-drpep-layers-schema.json maintainers: - FN: Kin Lane email: kin@apievangelist.com
