Schools

Energy costs represent only 1% to 2% of typical school budgets, but about 16% of controllable operational costs.1 Managing energy costs well can have a significant impact on resources. Yolo Energy Watch through PG&E offers schools a number of ways to reduce energy usage and save money, including energy audits, retrofits, pricing plan analysis, demand response, and solar power.
