What is going on in the Industrial Sector?! A TON of utility programs, incentives, and rebates, that’s what!
Industrial customers can include businesses in manufacturing, food and beverage processing, agriculture, water and waste treatment, and more! If you've been wondering if you have the potential to save money and energy, and your business falls under one of the many industrial business categories, look no further.
During this webisode, we discuss program and energy efficiency measure savings opportunities throughout the state of California. Whether you are a customer of PG&E, Southern California Gas Company, Southern California Edison, San Diego Gas and Electric, or a combination of two or more, chances are, we are talking about an opportunity that you can take advantage of. Additionally, we did not overlook statewide programs.
There are numerous opportunities available due to the significant potential for energy savings. Tune into this episode to hear all about those opportunities, or at the very least, get a good idea of where to begin.

California’s industrial energy efficiency programs are key to building a cleaner, more sustainable future. As one of the nation’s most industrially active states, California faces high energy demands from its manufacturing and production sectors. By investing in smart, targeted efficiency initiatives, the state helps businesses cut energy costs while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. These efforts not only support California’s ambitious climate goals but also fuel long-term economic growth rooted in sustainability.

Industrial energy efficiency programs may seem like the most technical and dry corner of California's clean energy landscape—all motor upgrades, process optimization, and equipment retrofits. But just like those songs you skip at first listen only to find yourself humming them weeks later, these programs have a way of revealing their true power once you dig deeper. Behind the seemingly mundane rebates for compressed air systems and lighting retrofits lies some of the most impactful energy work happening in the Golden State. Industrial customers represent the heaviest energy users and, consequently, the biggest opportunities for transformation. One facility upgrade can deliver the same energy savings as hundreds of residential projects combined. These programs sneak up on you with their scale and significance, much like the songs we've chosen this month—tracks that might not grab you immediately but possess an undeniable pull that grows stronger with every listen.
