Inside the Episode

By leveraging the power of AI, electric utilities nationwide are discovering ways to improve the efficiency and safety of their field crews.

Listen to the narrated version of the October 2025 cover story to learn how the AWARE system monitors the health of the grid and alerts crews to early-stage faults. SCE and Edison International recently won the electric power industry's highest honor: the Edison Award from the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) for the AWARE technology.
