High Sierra Energy Foundation (HSEF) Receives Power Saver Rewards Grant
HSEF will educate constituents about the benefits of signing up for Power Saver Rewards and helping prevent a power outage when a Flex Alert is issued.
Mammoth Lakes, CA – June 26, 2023 The High Sierra Energy Foundation was selected by Energy Upgrade California to receive a 2023 Power Saver Rewards grant. Power Saver Rewards, an Energy Upgrade California initiative, encourages utility customers to reduce their energy use during a Flex Alert by providing them with a credit on their energy bill.
“We are thrilled to join Power Saver Rewards once again to help them fulfill their mission of supporting customers and helping prevent a power outage,” says Pam Close Bold, Executive Director of the High Sierra Energy Foundation. “The response to Power Saver Rewards by our audiences has been tremendous, and we’re pleased to see so many people in our area signing up and helping prevent power outages. It’s a no brainer, and we are putting in the work to share this positive message.”
This is HSEF’s second year of participation in the Power Saver Rewards grant program. Millions of Californians have already enrolled in the program and received credits on their energy bills after saving energy during a Flex Alert.
Flex Alerts are typically issued when the weather is extremely hot and there is not enough energy supply to match demand. When utility customers reduce their energy use during a Flex Alert, it helps prevent a power outage.
