Is your non-profit stretching every dollar to keep programs operating? San Mateo County Energy Watch can help! We identify energy efficiency projects that enable non-profits to save money on utility bills. Savings can go right back into programs.
Our service is free. An auditor will do a no-obligation walk-through of your facility, and then present a proposal indicating how much money you can save. Because most of the upgrade work is covered by special rebates from Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), your organization's out-of-pocket cost will be minimal (usually recouped in a matter of months). Implementation is hassle-free: We handle the project management and the paperwork.

Eligibility

Non-profit facilities must be PG&E customers on the A1/A6, A10 and E19V rate schedule (rate schedule can be found on the utility bill).

Energy Audits

SMC Energy Watch will perform a no-cost, no-obligation energy survey to determine where your facilities have opportunities for energy and cost savings.

Direct Installation of Measures

SMC Energy Watch can install some energy efficiency measures free of charge or at highly discounted co-payment levels. Examples of equipment available include:

  • Efficiency and Improved Lighting
  • Occupancy and Daylight Sensors
  • LED Exit Signs
  • Refrigerator Strip Curtains
  • Cold Drink Vending Machine Sensors

Other Energy Efficiency Retrofits

Rebates are available for retrofit projects which reduce energy use in non-profit facilities. SMC Energy Watch staff can help your organization obtain the maximum available incentive for your projects and manage applications with PG&E to ensure the criteria for receiving an incentive are met. Please contact our office for guidance with any energy savings projects that may be implemented in your organization. Examples include:

  • Boiler or Chiller Replacement
  • Computer Power Management
  • HVAC Controls

Special Rebates and Incentives

SMC Energy Watch has reduced fixed pricing on equipment and contracted labor, so our rebates and incentives will likely be more attractive than those offered by other programs. Depending on the equipment you choose, some lighting, refrigeration and vending projects may be rebated from 30% to 100%.
