San Diego Regional Energy Network

Regional Energy Network (REN)

San Diego Community Power and the County of San Diego lead the San Diego Regional Energy Network (SDREN) — 10 programs that make clean energy upgrades more accessible for every community in San Diego County.

Energy Savings for San Diego

In August 2024, the California Public Utilities Commission approved SDREN as one of seven Regional Energy Networks, which serve 94% of California’s population.

What Community Leaders Are Saying

“With any business, there are 100 things you can do that affect the environment. Making the choice to opt up to 100% renewable energy is one of those choices that makes an actionable impact in our community.”

“We became a Power100 Champion because Helix Charter High School cares about the work that we do with our students. We knew we couldn’t keep it in the classroom. We had to take it to that next step.”

“Sometimes you feel like what you do isn’t going to matter, but opting up to Power100 is something that I can have control over, that I can make a decision about, and that’s huge.”
