Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) rebates and services are here to help you with your home and vehicle upgrades. However, thousands of dollars in federal tax credits for clean energy upgrades may expire at the end of this year (federal policy changes are being debated now in the Senate; we will do our best to keep our customers informed of final decisions).   

Despite the potential changes to federal tax credits, SVCE rebates and services will remain available and can be combined with other incentives. If you’ve been considering an electric upgrade, now is a great time to learn how you can maximize your savings by stacking SVCE incentives with tax credits.

Energy costs are the highest from 4-9 p.m. Avoid using energy during this time by: 

🔆 Lowering air conditioning thermostats to 72 degrees before 4 p.m. to precool your home

🔆 Between 4 - 9 p.m. set your thermostat to 78 degrees (health permitting), avoid charging your EV, and use of major appliances  

🔆 Unplugging unused devices (like computers and kitchen appliances). 

🔆 Use a fan when you can! They use less energy than air conditioning 

With PG&E Power Saver Rewards, you can receive credit on your bill for reducing energy use from 4 – 9 p.m.
