This month, we're celebrating California's public sector and the incredible power of energy efficiency to transform communities—from expert insights on benchmarking and compliance to programs tailored for schools, cities, and agencies across the state. The best part? Energy savings translate directly into community investments, with every dollar saved going back to parks, libraries, schools, and public safety!

We wrapped up an incredible August with our "Finance Extravaganza," exploring diverse financing solutions across California—from micro-business lending and zero-interest school loans to innovative on-bill financing for public agencies. As energy costs climb, these programs are transforming the "How will I pay for this?" barrier into accessible pathways for energy upgrades, solar installations, and EV infrastructure. Our comprehensive breakdown of programs like PACE loans, REEL programs, and credit enhancements makes complex financing options finally understandable and actionable.
