How Are You Celebrating Energy Awareness Month?

Most homes in California use methane gas-powered water heaters. If you want a more efficient, cleaner and safer alternative, switch to an electric heat pump water heater.

The average American family washes approximately 300 loads of laundry every year and the energy use quickly add up. Electric dryers are safer, cost less to purchase, and are simpler to install than gas dryers.

Backup Batteries at Traffic Lights Increase Energy Resilience in Saratoga
As part of Silicon Valley Clean Energy’s (SVCE) Community Resilience Grant Program, SVCE funded $139,000 of Saratoga’s resilience project to install backup battery systems at 14 traffic light intersections to increase safety. Traffic light backup batteries support traffic safety for the community of Saratoga in the case of wildfires, earthquakes, or other emergencies that could cause power outages.
In those cases, the backup batteries will turn on for up to two hours; operating in the normal traffic adaptive system that changes with real-time traffic demand. Without the batteries, these lights would not function in such emergency situations. The new system will transition into a Flash Red operation for power failure events that exceed two hours until battery life is expended, estimated up to an additional 6-8 hours of Flash Red operation.
Power outages from wildfires, extreme heat, and planned shutoff events are increasing – causing economic and public health impacts across California. SVCE is investing $5 million in local communities to support a more resilient region.

Your October Energy Bill Will Include a California Climate Credit
The California Climate Credit is a state-wide program that distributes money back to households and small businesses in the months of April and October. This month you will find a $39.30 credit applied to your electricity bill. No need to do anything, all residential households – residential solar included - will automatically receive the credit on your bill as it is not related to your specific energy usage.
This State program requires power plants, natural gas distributors, and other greenhouse gas-emitting industries to purchase carbon pollution permits in an effort to fight climate change. Part of the collected payments go towards the California Climate Credit.
