Energy Efficiency in the Sierra Nevada
The SNEW team works closely with local governments, school districts, public agencies, and small businesses, helping them achieve their energy goals wherever they are on their path to sustainability. Our team offers no-cost services that range from conducting energy use analysis and audits, helping link to resources, providing project management support, and finding funding and financing solutions. We also conduct greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, develop and implement emissions reduction plans, and execute energy projects that make communities more resilient, efficient, and vibrant.
The SNEW program is funded through the CPUC public purchase program charge on your PG&E bills, therefore our services are provided at no-cost.
