SoCalREN Highlights

One of our partners, City of Lindsay, is moving forward with SoCalREN’s Metered Savings Program (as mentioned above) to take a comprehensive approach that will capture savings! What is the Metered Savings Program? This program offers a new way to unlock “stranded” savings and access SoCalREN’s energy efficiency project delivery services at no cost. It uses normalized metered energy consumption (NMEC) to measure energy savings at the meter, unlocking new project opportunities to go beyond utility incentive eligible measures. This comprehensive approach reduces the complexity of multi-measure projects, allowing for deeper savings with speedier project completion.
