background
Yolo county, along with its partner cities, has been funded $3.1 million for Energy Efficiency Programs from the California Public Utilities Commission that will fund up to $843,250 in energy efficiency rebates for Yolo County residents and businesses during 2004 and 2005. YEEP is a program administered by the City of Davis and implemented by the Valley Energy Efficiency Corporation (VEEC) on behalf of Yolo County and the incorporated cities.
Starting in Spring 2004, YEEP will encourage energy efficiency in Yolo County by distributing free compact fluorescent light bulbs, providing a $1/ square foot rebate on sun screens, and offering significant rebates for lighting improvements for small businesses. Outreach events will take place throughout the county to provide energy education to encourage savings.
By the end of 2005 Yolo County participants will save approximately 7.7 million kilowatt hours of electricity and $1.1 million on energy bills during the first year the program is completed. The energy savings translates into about $16 million over the 15-year lifetime of the energy measures.
