Southern California Edison (SCE) and the California Climate Action Registry (Registry) present The Cool Planet Project. This new program provides SCE customers added value and benefits when participating in both SCE Energy Efficiency programs and Registry membership.

Reducing energy usage also reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Hence, by participating in SCE Energy Efficiency programs you are already reducing your GHG emissions. And, by joining the Registry you can easily track and record those reductions and may be eligible to receive early action credit.

Benefits of Participating in the Cool Planet Project

• Potential credit for voluntary, early reductions certified under AB32
• A stakeholder voice in climate change policy and implementation
• Recognition as an environmental leader and public relations services to assist in communicating this message to the public

About the California Climate Action Registry

Formed by the state legislature in 2001 as a non-profit, public-private partnership, the California Climate Action Registry is the center for education and global leadership on Climate Change. The Registry readily assists organizations in measuring, monitoring and establishing a state-recognized baseline of GHG emissions.

Members include some of America’s largest companies and leaders in their industries: aerospace corporations, cities and counties, manufacturing plants, oil refineries, universities, and utility providers. The Board of Directors is appointed by the Governor and represents business, government, and non-profit organizations.

The Registry encourages voluntary public reporting and reduction of GHG emissions.
