Eastern Sierra Energy Initiative 2010-2012

The Eastern Sierra Council of Governments, representing the City of Bishop, the Town of Mammoth Lakes, Inyo County and Mono County, is proud to announce the launch of the Eastern Sierra Energy Initiative, a multi-agency, local energy partnership between Southern California Edison and the Council.

Serving 13,000 square miles and a population of more than 25,000, the Eastern Sierra Energy Initiative’s innovative approaches will create a culture of energy efficiency that makes sense for our Alpine and Valley environments.
