Power Partners^SM

EEI, together with the rest of the electric power industry, partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to create Power Partners—a joint government-industry initiative to reduce GHGs. Through this initiative, the power sector and DOE work together to develop and implement voluntary climate actions to sustain economic growth.

Climate Challenge Program

Learn about the Climate Challenge Program—to date, the world's largest and most successful voluntary initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs).

Federal Programs

The U.S. government offers information about the climate change issue, and also programs that seek to reduce the nation’s GHG emissions.

• Greenhouse Gases, Climate Change, and Energy
  A brochure from DOE presenting an overview of the climate change issue.

• Climate VISION (Voluntary Innovative Sector Initiatives: Opportunities Now)
  President George W. Bush set a national goal for reducing GHG intensity—the amount of GHGs emitted per dollar of GDP—by 18 percent over 10 years. To achieve this goal, the Administration enacted this voluntary public-private program.

• Climate Leaders
  A number of power companies have developed long-term goals to reduce their emission of GHGs through this EPA program.
