Path 26 forms Southern California Edison's (SCE) intertie (link) with Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) to the north. Since PG&E's power grid and SCE's grid both have interconnections to elsewhere, in the Pacific Northwest (PG&E) and the Southwestern United States (SCE), Path 26 is a southern extension of Path 15 and Path 66, and a crucial link between the two regions' grids.
Consolidated Edison acquired or merged with more than a dozen companies between 1936 and 1960. Con Edison today is the result of acquisitions, dissolutions, and mergers of more than 170 individual electric, gas, and steam companies. Consolidated Edison acquired land on the Hudson River in Buchanan, NY, in 1954 for the Indian Point nuclear power ...
Alamitos Energy Center was originally built in the 1950s by Southern California Edison and consisted of seven natural gas-fired generating units that were cooled using a seawater once-through cooling system. Units 1 and 2 generated 175 MW each, units 3 and 4 generated 320 MW each, and units 5 and 6 generate 480 MW each.
California natural gas production typically is less than 2 percent of total annual U.S. production and satisfies less than one-sixth of state demand. [106] [107] California receives most of its natural gas by pipeline from production regions in the Rocky Mountains, the Southwest, and western Canada. [107]
SDGE began research into nuclear power in the late 1950s. In 1961, it agreed to participate in a 350,000-kilowatt nuclear power plant with Southern California Edison known as the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS). SDG&E owned 20% of the plant, located in San Onofre, California; SoCal Edison owned 80%. The plant became operational in ...

California Energy Commission map (PDF) 1944: in light of the 1943/1944 gas shortage crisis in Southern California, new storage capacity needed. 36 miles of 16-inch pipe from the La Goleta Gas Field to the (Southern Counties Co. owned) Venture compressor station built by Southern Counties Gas Company ($1,083,290), also built a dehydration plant ...
[15] [16] In 2011, Big Allis burned 97% natural gas, 3% oil (used as backup fuels). The site also includes a steam generation plant consisting of four Babcock & Wilcox boilers, owned and run by Con Edison. The plant helps in the supply of steam to the Manhattan steam system when needed, via the Ravenswood Tunnel under the East River. [17] [18]
