SCE has Eastern Kern County to the ridge over the San Joaquin valley. PGE& E extends north of Bakersfield to South of Shafter or so, Then SCE takes up to something north of Visalia, Then PG&E takes up again.
Sce then goes south from the mountain area north of Frazier Park, then extends south to occupy much of the space not taken by DWP to the San Diego Border. Then it's SDG&E. It's like the Eastern side of the Sierras, SCE goes into the Southern part of Owens Valley to Coso Junction, DWP picks up to something south of Bishop, then It's SCE again. It's a patchwork over the state, partly due to when the power companies first started out and who first grabbed what - whether it was a municipality or an investor owned utility. DWP got the Owens Valley for the water, and provides electrical service. Highway 395 east of the Sierras was originally the right of way for what was once both the highest voltage and longest transmission line in the world, North of Bishop to, I believe, Redlands. I believe it was built by Southern Sierras Power Company, which was aquired by California Electric Power, then by SCE. The area of current large Utilities passed through quite a few small outfits which were swallowed up over several or more decades by expansion of successful ventures.
