The California Energy Commission recently released details of two competitive grants under its State Energy Program. No Valley bid made the cut. The San Joaquin Valley Clean Energy Organization assisted the City of Visalia on a proposal that would've helped Valley homeowners make their homes more energy efficient. The SJVCEO also assisted the City of Gustine on a proposal that would've helped downtown Valley businesses become more energy efficient.
For SEP 2, the municipal and commercial retrofit program, no Valley entity reached the minimum technical score of 280. Here is a list of the recipients, their scores and their award amounts:
