SJVCEO Municipal Energy Tune Up (METU) Program, funded by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), aims to find energy efficiency projects for cities’ and/or
counties’. After connecting with the city or county and performing energy benchmarking of their accounts (pumps, street lights, buildings, wells, etc.),
an energy report is produced showing the top energy users in that jurisdiction. SJVCEO and a PG&E representative will take these reports to the city or
county, and work with the jurisdiction to get energy efficiency projects started.
