Energy Efficiency & Conservation

The Department of Conservation & Environmental Services and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) are working to promote energy efficiency in Chula Vista and other South Bay communities through its new Empower Partnership.  The Partnership was formed to help residents and local businesses take advantage of incentive programs to lower their energy use and costs. 

Residential Component

• Energy Efficiency Kiosks are exhibited at various City locations to educate residents about programs available to lower energy costs.

• Community Events are staffed part-time to answer questions and to distribute FREE Indoor Energy & Water Savings Kits (include low-flow showerhead & faucet aerators). Or sign-up online at SDG&E's website, by clicking here.

• FREE Home Energy Assessments are available to residents and provide a brief evaluation of energy (& water) use and possible energy-saving opportunities.

Local Business Component

• FREE Business Energy Evaluations are available to provide a brief evaluation of energy (& water) use and assistance in applying for applicable SDG&E incentive programs.

• For a limited time, qualified businesses can receive FREE Energy-Saving Power Strips.   Energy-saving power strips can save your business money by reducing the "vampire" load of some electrical devices.
