Sonoma Clean Power (SCP), the public electricity provider for Sonoma and Mendocino counties, is promoting the benefits of induction cooking, as part of the agency’s commitment to energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reductions.
Just four years after launching service, SCP says it has saved customers $78 million and cut greenhouse gas emissions from power plants in half. Through the Drive EverGreen program, SCP has helped customers save over $10 million on clean, electric vehicles and given away over 1,500 free home chargers.
