Southern California Edison officials tried to strike a conciliatory tone on Thursday during a California Public Utilities Commission hearing about the company’s response to power outages in the San Gabriel Valley caused by fierce winds on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1.
“We can’t control the weather, but we can — and will — improve our response to it,” Edison President Ron Litzinger told commissioners and some 200 residents who gathered at the Temple City High School auditorium.
Many of those in attendance heckled commission members and Edison officials, angry that the company’s explanations remained unclear. A Sheriff's deputy moved to calm a man who shouted that Edison and commission officials were hiding information from the public.
