SoCalREN Public Agency Programs offer cash incentives to help their network bring energy efficiency projects within financial reach. Eligible equipment includes HVAC, HVAC controls, interior lighting, exterior lighting, retro-commissioning, building envelope, heat pumps, pumping, and process optimization, and more!

Who’s using these incentives?

Several enrolled agencies are already working on energy efficiency projects with SoCalREN incentives (but don’t worry, we’ve got enough for you too!). The City of Walnut, a small city in eastern Los Angeles County, is working with SoCalREN on a lighting project made possible by SoCalREN incentives. “The SoCalREN team has done excellent work identifying projects. They work quickly and accommodate the City’s needs to ensure that we are able to utilize this exciting incentive opportunity,” said Melissa Barcello, the City of Walnut Deputy Community Services Director who is spearheading the project. With SoCalREN’s support, The City of Walnut will earn an estimated $27,186 in incentives, save 50,966 kWh and 1,167 therms annually on their facility’s energy bill, and save over $15,000 each year. It’s not too late for your agency to find a project that works for you to achieve similar savings!
