City of Pomona is a Model of Efficiency by Saving Energy and Money

The City is now an Energy Leader Partner with Southern California Edison (SCE). The City, along with San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments and Southern California Edison, are partnered in the San Gabriel Valley Energy Wise Partnership (SGVEWP). The partnership aims to reduce energy usage in the San Gabriel Valley and offers many incentives and programs to achieve this goal. A banner is displayed in the lobby to show the community that the City of Pomona is doing their part to reduce energy usage.

The City of Pomona has shown outstanding commitment to improving the environment across all sectors, including energy efficiency, with the development of an interdepartmental “Green Team,” the development of a city “Green Plan” and completion of a greenhouse gas emissions inventory.

The San Gabriel Valley Energy Wise Partnership Energy Leader Model is a tiered system whereby cities can receive enhanced rebates from Southern California Edison (SCE) for eligible energy efficiency projects for energy savings achievements and responsibility. By participating in the SGVEWP, cities automatically qualify as a "Valued Level Partner" whereby they can access SCEs core program rebate for energy savings measures undertaken in city facilities. As cities demonstrate additional energy savings and commitments, they can qualify for enhanced rebates at the silver, gold and platinum levels.
