Posted by Norman F

New PG&E rebates have been added for 2023. Most expire December 31.

Our local utility Pacific Gas and Electric – PG&E has cash rebates and ways to go green and save money. Here are some PG&E Energy Efficiency Rebates

PG&E Rebates

You can even submit PG&E Energy Efficiency Rebates requests online and then send in proof of purchase. Questions about PG&E Energy Efficiency Rebates, call 1-800-933-9555.

Energy Incentive Packages

If you live in California, be sure to check out Energy Upgrade California Energy Efficiency Rebates

Always check your local utility’s web site for rebates before you buy a new item. We recently bought a new dishwasher that had a $50 utility company rebate that was not advertised by the store. They fulfilled the rebate in only 2 weeks. Green your home and get cash back. Most rebates run through December 31 or while funding is available.

You can also call PG&E and ask for a Smart Home Rebate Booklet or check out their Flex your power website.

Federal Energy Efficiency Tax Credit

Be sure to also take advantage of the Federal Energy Efficiency Tax Credit. This Federal tax credit can save you money in addition to your utility companies’ promotions. It applies to many items including: Wind Turbines – GeoThermal Heat PumpSolar panels.

Purcell Murray distributes appliances in California and has Bosch rebates, Thermador rebates, and rebates for other brands.

Plug in Electric Vehicle Discounts

Pacific Gas & Electric has a new EV2-A, EV-B rate plan for plug in electric vehicle or electric car owners. A second power meter may need to be installed for households in which their plug-in electric vehicle charging significantly impacts their daily energy usage. Be sure to take advantage of any Federal Tax Credits for buying an All electric and Plug in Hybrid Vehicle.

PG&E Solar Choice Program

You can now purchase 50 or 100% of your electricity from solar, without installing panels yourself.  You do pay a premium to participate in this program. Lower your carbon footprint without the pain and cost of installing panels. You can terminate it at anytime.  I doubt many people will want to join this program.

Pacific Gas and Electric has some free classes on various Energy conservation topics including Solar Power Basics for Residential Customers, HVAC, Water & Energy, and Lighting. It is always nice to get vendor neutral information. Some classes are available online to any user.

Let’s face it, not everyone has tens of thousands of dollars to pay for a solar system and even with no money down leases, you still need to be informed. Looking for new ways to save energy is only a class away.

PG&E Critical Peak Pricing (CPP) to Lower Energy Costs

Energy

Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has recently added the voluntary Critical Peak Pricing (CPP) program that gives lower energy rates on non-CPP event days (non peak days) in exchange for higher rates on CPP event days. (high use Summer days)

You agree to pay higher peak rates of 60 cents a kilowatt-hour on no more than 15 days a year in exchange for a 3 cent discount on all other energy use times.

This is designed for businesses using more than 200 kW per month who can pull back energy use during peak days. The program has resulted in lower bills for some big customers like datacenters.

PG&E Climate Smart Program has ended

    The UK Government introduced its Boiler Scrappage Scheme last week: potentially thousands of homeowners with inefficient old boilers will get £400 vouchers to spend on new replacement ones. The money can also go towards a solar hot water system: if it’s an advanced one, such as the LaZer2 designed by SolarUK, the combination of this and an energy efficient boiler should be a winning one in terms of supplying a household’s hot water requirements for most of the year without reliance on fossil fuels.
