Business Energy Guide: Government
City of Rancho Mirage Saves 308,500 kilowatt-hours in Electricity over a Four Year Period
Nestled in Southern California’s Coachella Valley desert floor, the City of Rancho Mirage faces dual energy-saving challenges: the city’s approximately 18,000 permanent residents have high air conditioning electricity demand when summer temperatures easily top 100ºF; and then the 60,000 to 70,000 “snowbirds” who call the city their home for the winter significantly increase energy demand during the winter months. But the 25-square-mile city is not letting these challenges stop it from taking aggressive steps to save energy and lower its electric bills. With Time-Of-Use rates and Critical Peak Pricing (CPP) events in effect, it’s worth taking advantage of similar energy-saving strategies. Read more.
Several government facilities have already taken advantage of energy-efficient equipment. To help your facilities receive these same cost-efficient benefits, we offer low-interest financing for qualified energy-efficient projects.
