Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), in partnership with Willdan as the authorized implementor, offers government agencies and school districts cost-effective solutions to enhance energy efficiency through their Government K-12 (GK12) program. This initiative helps public institutions reduce energy consumption and lower ongoing operational and maintenance expenses. The Willdan GK12 team provides comprehensive support throughout the process, ensuring a seamless experience from enrollment to installation.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must have an active PG&E electric and/or natural gas account.
• May not apply to more than one California energy efficiency incentive or rebate program for the same upgrade.
• Must pay the Public Purpose Program (PPP) surcharge on the account where the energy-efficient equipment is to be installed (exempt customers are not required to meet this criterion).

Recently, Sierra Business Council’s Sierra Nevada Energy Watch (SNEW) team, in collaboration with Willdan, helped three school districts in the Sierra Nevada region upgrade 10 school facilities with high-efficiency tankless natural gas water heaters. This service is available to public agencies and schools looking to replace outdated water heaters with high-efficiency tankless natural gas or heat pump water heaters, often at little to no cost. Explore the case-study infographic below to see the energy and cost savings achieved through these installations:
