Efficiency in Focus: Commercial Sector Programs
With rate increases from California utilities over the last year, commercial customers are getting hit hard in their pocketbooks to keep their doors open. These customers often do not realize what program opportunities are at their fingertips. Much of the reason for this is that business owners are busy with daily happenings, and energy is not at the top of their minds.
