Welcome Sierra Homeowners!

As you know, we live in a beautiful forested region made up of quaint towns and small businesses, populated with lots of ranches, retirees, home-based businesses, and homesteaders. Therefore, the overwhelming majority of energy use in our area actually comes from our homes and properties. Much of that energy comes from out of town sources, at ever-increasing prices, and often using polluting fuels.

 

We're helping to reduce that flow of money out of town, to keep our dollars here. Whether it's electricity, natural gas/propane, or gasoline/diesel, we're here to help you help yourself and the community by providing ways to use less energy (or produce your own!) while still enjoying our great Sierra Nevada quality of life.

Utility Company FAQS

With large parts of our area served by PG&E for electricity and natural gas, and Pioneer Community Energy providing that power to some of PG&E's customers, there have been a lot of questions.

COMING SOON

To help foster bonds and enjoy the success of peers, we are working on creating special peer groups that can help create more excitement, enthusiasm, and encourgement as we make changes at home.

​​

This could include larger group meetings in person or online, or smaller targeted groups, as well as social media groups and mixers, newsletters, and emails.

If this interests you, please contact us and we will add your name to the list of possible future energy-peers!
