SAN RAFAEL y CONCORD, Calif. - MCE has released its Informe anual sobre eficiencia energética 2022 highlighting bold strides to help customers save energy. MCE customers received over $2.35 million in rebates, reducing CO2 emissions by 20,793 metric tons in 2022 – equivalent to taking over 4,600 gasoline-powered cars off the road.
"Helping people use energy more efficiently is one key way to meeting the growing demand for energy," said Alice Havenar-Daughton, MCE’s Vice President of Customer Programs. "That’s why in 2022, MCE focused on understanding and removing barriers that residents and businesses face when saving energy. Together, we avoided $4.58 million in system-wide energy costs and improved the health and safety of hundreds of families and businesses."
All of the $2.35 million in rebates helped residents and businesses make upgrades to save energy across lighting, refrigeration, air conditioning, and more. Low-income, state-designated disadvantaged communities who are traditionally underserved by energy efficiency programs were prioritized among many of MCE’s initiatives. Eight multifamily properties will receive over $580,000 to complete energy upgrades across 784 low-income units.
Over 360 residents received $1.5 million in no-cost air sealing, insulation, and other efficiency upgrades to save money on their energy bills while increasing comfort.
Incentives also included:
- $146,000 for agricultural customers
- $478,000 for businesses
- Almost $200,000 for industrial customers
Looking ahead, the California Public Utilities Commission has unanimously approved $78 million in energy efficiency funding to support MCE programs for 2024-2027.
