San Bernardino County enters into energy-efficiency contract with SoCal Edison

From San Bernardino County:

Southern California Edison and the county are working to identify ways the county can make its existing and planned facilities more energy efficient, according to a no-cost contract approved by the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.

The County and SCE are forming what's known as an energy partnership to develop potential retrofit projects that would reduce energy usage. SCE will help the county prioritize the projects based on their potential for energy savings and expected cost. SCE will also work with the county to identify ways to incorporate energy-efficiencies into new facilities.

In addition to securing technical support from SCE, the energy partnership also means the County will be eligible for increased rebates for future energy efficiency projects.

The County plans to form a similar energy partnership with the Southern California Gas Company.
