The Statewide Energy Efficiency Collaborative (SEEC) provides support to cities and counties to help them reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save energy. SEEC is an alliance between three statewide local government-focused non-profit organizations and California’s four Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs). It builds upon the unique resources, expertise and local agency relationships of each partner.
SEEC provides at no cost:
By leveraging the resources and expertise of the seven partners to help local agencies, SEEC aptly demonstrates the phrase, “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”

The four utility partners in SEEC offer resources to help local government agencies save energy, save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and further California’s Long-Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan goals. Each utility provides a suite of programs for local agencies. Visit the links below for more information about the utility programs available.
The four utility partners submit semi-annual reports that describe the progress of projects undertaken with local governments to further the Strategic Plan goals. The projects featured in these reports are projects that utilities undertake through local government partnerships (LGPs).
This program is funded by California utility ratepayers and administered by Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas and Electric, Company, Southern California Edison, and Southern California Gas Company under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission.
