NO-COST Energy and Water Assessments for Residents of Martinez.

This summer, Rising Sun Energy Center’s California Youth Energy Services (CYES) program will provide Martinez residents with no-cost energy and water conservation services through a partnership with Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), the City of Martinez, and local water districts.

Since 2000, Rising Sun has provided no-cost energy and water conservation services to over 28,000 residents throughout the Bay Area. CYES trains and employs local youth ages 15 to 22 to become Energy Specialists who serve their city’s residents with Green House Calls (GHC).
