Climate ChallengeDOE's Energy Partnerships for a Strong Economy Notice: The Climate Challenge Program, begun in 1994, had as a principal focus commitments by electric utilities to reduce, avoid, or sequester greenhouse gases by the year 2000. Because of this focus on the year 2000, the Climate Challenge Program is no longer active with respect to recruiting new members. However, many of the current participants continue to maintain or expand programs pledged in their Climate Challenge Participation Accords and Letters of Commitment, and are reporting on these activities to DOE's Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Program. Current developments on climate policy that are relevant to the Climate Challenge Program can be viewed from the following links:
