The Gateway Cities COG is pleased to host an active and informative networking group for all member cities interested in becoming more sustainable and energy efficient throughout their operations.

Equally important, it allows Gateway cities to network and to share your successes and experiences with each of these programs.

The Southern California Regional Energy Network (SoCalREN) Public Agency Programs offer customized support and resources to help public agencies save energy and money and lead their communities on the pathway to zero net energy and greater sustainability.

GCCOG is proud to partner with SoCalREN to bring their suite of services to the Gateway Cities! We’re leveraging our local knowledge and strong relationships with public agencies in the Gateway sub-region to bring SoCalREN’s no-cost support on energy, demand, and water-saving projects to our communities.

Together, we’ll ensure SoCalREN’s highly valued programs are accessible for public agencies, especially those supporting underserved and hard-to-reach communities, in the Gateway Cities.

All of these services are provided by SoCalREN at no cost to Gateway cities. A number of Gateway Cities have already enrolled in SoCalRen and are already reducing costs and becoming more energy efficient.  If you would like to enroll your city to reap the benefits of this program, join now at socalren.org/join.
