I guess the map data you're ultimately referring to is the file at:
http://www.sce.com/nrc/kml/SCEGenerationInterconnection.kmz
While that file is publicly available, and has no embedded copyright
statement, that's not really enough. In order to incorporate the data
into OSM, you'd need to be able to show that the data were released
under an open licence that's compatible with OpenStreetMap. The data may
be proprietary to SCE. You'd need to check with them to see if it had
been released under an open licence.

(Seeing those lines and circuits reminds me of an amusing few weeks
stomping about in the western Arizona desert, trying to find a way to
connect a huge planned PV facility to sell into SCE. I'm glad my
then-employer didn't go ahead, as the state conservation department
wanted us to grade 3000+ acres/1200 ha of fragile desert ecosystem to
flat dust.)
