SCE

Southern California Edison keeps 36 months of bills in My Account. Sign in, find the Billing & Payment Options card on your dashboard, select Billing & Payment History, and view or download the PDF of any bill in that range. The MySCE app shows the same 36 months on your phone.

One SCE account

  1. Log in to My Account.
  2. On the dashboard, find the Billing & Payment Options card.
  3. Select Billing & Payment History.
  4. Open a bill to view or download its PDF.

The Payments tab at the top of the same page lists what you paid and when, up to the same 36 months.

Several SCE accounts

If your login covers more than one customer account, click More within the account you need and select Billing & Payment History. Repeat it for each account, since the history is shown one account at a time.

The MySCE app

The app puts billing on a single Billing and Payment page with a View Bill option. Past bill amounts, payments and PDF bills are available there for the last 36 months.

Copy of Bill form

SCE's self-service Copy of Bill form delivers a PDF copy of an original bill. Up to 3 years of bill history can be requested, with no more than 12 bills downloaded at a time. A full three years therefore takes three requests.

When a bill PDF won't open

SCE's Help Center has a separate article for PDF versions of bills that fail to open from a report in its Energy Manager tool. Check that article before calling if a download comes up blank.

Paying your SCE bill and enrolling in Auto Pay

Call 1-800-877-8600 to pay from a bank account at no extra cost; the same line enrolls you in Auto Pay or cancels it. Cards and digital wallets are processed by JP Morgan Chase online or at 1-833-425-1440, for a $1.65 fee on a residential payment. Authorized Payment Agencies take cash with no fee, and a mailed check with the bill stub needs 2 to 5 business days.

Auto Pay is free and draws only from a bank account:

  1. Log in and click Settings in the My Account menu.
  2. On the Billing & Payment tab, turn Auto Pay on and click Yes, Continue.
  3. Pick or add the bank account, click Next, agree to the terms and click Submit.

The withdrawal comes 11 days before the due date, after the bill arrives. Download that bill for each service account: a bank line reading SCE says nothing about which property used the power.

SCE bills for every service account

Thirty-six months online is generous. It still ends, and an owner with several SCE service accounts clicks More, account by account, every month. Bill fetching does that clicking: our AI agent signs in, walks each account's Billing & Payment History and saves the new PDFs. If SCE emails you when a bill is ready, email receipt capture files that message, and your accountant gets every PDF through tax receipts when filing season comes. A landlord with units on separate meters saves the most clicks.
