| SCE’s Energy Efficiency Partnership Program, whether dealing with institutions such as a University/College or City, County, State entities, community organizations--or the public at large, creates dynamism and a keen awareness of energy efficiency best practices (i.e., enhancing the design, implementation and evaluation of energy saving technologies). The Partnerships also execute substantive and vital business and community projects that save energy, money and the environment. These projects may include Direct Installation of energy-efficient equipment, energy audits, seminars, and more.
As our Partnership Program fortifies and invigorates relationships with local government and institutional customers, we help to advance long term state energy policies that encourage adoption of energy efficiency and green practices. Our activity with stakeholders will ultimately influence inherent cultural and cross-generational behavior in society nurturing a renewed appreciation and stewardship of our resources.
The following is a list of current collaborations:

The CCC/IOU Energy Efficiency Partnership has been a successful collaboration between the California Community Colleges (CCC) and the four Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs):
- The CCC is a two-year public institution of higher education that is composed of 109 colleges statewide and organized into 72 self-governing Districts
- It serves more than 2.6 million students coming from a wide range of cultural and economic backgrounds, and represents the largest system of higher education in the world
- This Partnership provides a unique opportunity to deliver cost effective energy savings while leveraging the CCC’s local and statewide new construction bond funding
- The 2009-2011 CCC/IOU Partnership will expand its efforts for the implementation of Energy-efficient Retrofits, New Construction Design Assistance facilitated by the Savings by Design program, Demand Response, Retro-Commissioning, and Monitoring-Based Commissioning (MBCx) projects
- The program will also focus its efforts on Training and Education, which will expand existing education programs by training faculty and staff in best practices on Energy Efficient Technology Implementation and Energy Management

- The CDCR uses the Department of Energy’s benchmarking tool, Portfolio Manager, to prioritize the candidates for Retro-commissioning and Retrofit projects
- The Partnership provides leadership to the CDCR by:
- Helping achieve Governor’s Green Building Action Plan by reducing energy consumption by 20% in the next 5 years
- Increasing awareness and acceptance of Energy Efficiency practices
- Improving communication and collaboration amongst statewide participants
