Thank you for all your support and participation for making this first round of California's Peak Load Shifting efforts a tremendous success!
Cypress, Ltd. and providers of natural gas cooling technologies have teamed up to help San Diego Gas & Electric® (SDG&E®) customers reduce peak energy costs. Part of an innovative California Peak Load Reduction initiative for San Diego, the Shift & Save® program takes advantage of the reliable, domestic supply and lower operating costs of clean-burning natural gas to permanently reduce costly summer peak energy. Install new gas air conditioning, or replace any existing inefficient electric cooling system and start saving money and energy.
The Shift & Save peak reduction program can reduce total costs for customers in SDG&E's service territory.
SDG&E offers an financing program to customers for energy efficiency upgrades. The On-Bill Financing (OBF) program works in conjunction with select SDG&E rebate and incentive programs, offering customers eligible to participate in those programs zero-percent financing for qualifying energy-efficient business improvements.
