About the Statewide Energy Efficiency Collaborative

The Statewide Energy Efficiency Collaborative (SEEC) is an alliance between three statewide non-profit organizations and California’s four Investor-Owned Utilities. SEEC leverages the diverse expertise and resources of its implementing partners to meet evolving local government needs to save energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and accelerate climate action.
