If you are a local government, special district, K-12 school district, or tribal entity located in PG&E’s Sierra Nevada territory, you can gain access to SNEW’s no-cost energy efficiency program. Our services and expertise increase the capacity of the public sector to identify and plan projects, take advantage of financing opportunities, and implement on-the-ground money-saving and energy-saving projects.
