In 2018, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) customers
saved more than $300 million on their energy bills by participating
in energy efficiency programs. PG&E’s energy efficiency
programs are tailored to the specific needs of residential,
agricultural, industrial and business customers to eliminate
unnecessary energy use, reduce carbon footprint and save money.
These programs provide:
- Discount programs to help low income customers pay their
bills.
- Rebates for adopting smart thermostat technology.
- Increased new construction incentives for customers rebuilding
homes lost in wildfires.
- Financing to allow business customers to complete larger
retrofit projects.
- Incentives for business customers to replace outdated, energy
inefficient equipment with newer technologies.
“PG&E offers more than 100 energy efficiency programs to
support the diverse needs of our 16 million people across our
70,000 square-mile service area. We continue to focus on helping
customers save energy and money as well as position the state to
meet its ambitious carbon reduction goals,” said Vincent Davis,
PG&E's Senior Director of Customer Energy Solutions.
Last year, PG&E’s energy efficiency programs resulted in
savings of 1,288 net annual gigawatt-hours (GWh). That equates to
enough electricity to power 109,066 homes for one year. These
savings also reduced California’s greenhouse gas emissions by
avoiding the production of more than 300,000 tons of carbon
dioxide, a number equal to the emissions generated from driving an
average passenger vehicle 767 million miles.
PG&E programs can help customers make smart energy choices.
