Utility and generation supplier
Utility
Southern California Edison (SCE)
The City of Industry is confirmed to be within SCE's distribution service territory.
Sources & confidence
Generation supplier
Southern California Edison (SCE) (utility)
Clean Power Alliance's own homepage states it serves '38 communities across Los Angeles and Ventura counties' and names each one individually via its site's community directory; City of Industry is not among the named communities. No other Los Angeles/Ventura County CCA serving City of Industry was found, so Southern California Edison (SCE) is recorded as both the distribution and generation utility.

Interconnection
SCE's own Net Energy Metering (NEM) program page — a utility-wide fact already established for other SCE-territory records this dataset.
