California community choice aggregator MCE recently released its 2022 energy efficiency annual report, which notes that its customers received over $2.35 million in rebates.

The rebates helped residents and businesses make upgrades to save energy across lighting, refrigeration, air conditioning, and more.

Low-income, state-designated disadvantaged communities who are traditionally underserved by energy efficiency programs were prioritized among many of MCE’s initiatives. Eight multifamily properties will receive over $580,000 to complete energy upgrades across 784 low-income units.

Over 360 residents received $1.5 million in no-cost air sealing, insulation, and other efficiency upgrades.

Incentives also included $146,000 for agricultural customers, $478,000 for businesses and almost $200,000 for industrial customers.

Looking ahead, the California Public Utilities Commission has unanimously approved $78 million in energy efficiency funding to support MCE programs for 2024-2027.
