“Our campaigns have shown over the years our commitment for the protection of our oceans and our environment, and we have slowly progressed in trying to include and amplify the human voices of this struggle…. Our new normal needs to be one where we build new futures, where thriving and enjoying life is not a privilege for a small group, but a right we’ve won for all.” Click here to read the full article!
What our partners are doing
SoCalREN:
SoCalREN recommends agencies consider SoCalGas’s “hot ticket” boiler replacement rebates. Recently, SoCalREN assisted an enrolled agency with a boiler rebate application, resulting in $1,400 in annual energy cost savings and over 1,700 therm savings. We can assist you too! Agencies in local government partnerships are currently eligible to receive a further 50% incentive kicker. SoCalREN can help you kick off a boiler replacement project or keep other energy efficiency projects moving forward, even as we practice social distancing.

COVID-19 Updates from SCG:
Contractors Resuming Work for Customers “Energy Savings Assistance (ESA) and Energy Efficiency (EE) contractor work restarted in-person activities on June 1 after being suspended due to COVID-19. Customers who are interested in making their home or business more energy-efficient by installing things like attic insulation, low-flow showerheads, weather stripping, or replacing older appliances with more efficient equipment are now able to have an in-person energy audit completed. Additionally, customers who had already begun this process can now have these upgrades completed. Rest assured, ESA and EE contractors are following proper Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for social distancing, face coverings, and any other necessary protective measures.”
