Save Energy at Home

SAVE $300 ON A NEW REFRIGERATOR

Alameda Municipal Power advises customers that, if they're thinking about getting a new refrigerator, the time to buy is now. A new State limited-time rebate under the Cash for Appliances program is offering a $200 rebate, and when combined with AMP's standard $100 rebate, will result in a $300 savings for those who act fast.

The big push for solar

As much as 60% of your installation costs could be covered!

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems convert the energy of the sun into electricity that is pollution-free, renewable, reliable, and safe. There has never been a better time to look at a solar energy system, as the installation costs are continuing to go down, and rebates and tax credits have made going green through solar more affordable than ever.

The State of California has mandated that all electric utilities provide rebates to residential and commercial customers who install an approved solar PV system. Effective January 1, 2009, new federal legislation provides for a 30% tax credit on the total cost of a solar energy system, removing the previous $2,000 payment cap, creating a compelling incentive to install a solar PV system now.

AMP Refrigerator Rebate and Recycle Programs

Is your fridge an energy hog?

We have two programs to help!

ENERGY STAR Refrigerator Rebate and Recycle Program

AMP has partnered with ENERGY STAR® to offer you a means of benefitting both the planet AND your pocketbook. You can get a $100 rebate for replacing your refrigerator with an ENERGY STAR® labeled fridge and recycling your old fridge.

Second Refrigerator Pickup Program

And that old, second refrigerator in your garage? You can get a $35 rebate just for having it picked up and recycled properly.

Switching to Compact Fluorescent Lighting

Why CFLs Make Sense

Switching to Compact Fluorescent Lighting (CFL) is a no-brainer when you compare it to traditional lighting.

Regular Incandescents:

Waste about 90 percent of their energy generating heat
Last about 1,000 hours, or about 8.5 months of light

Compact Fluorescents:

Use 75% less electricity than a regular bulb
provide up to 10,000 hours (7 yrs) of light.

The AMP Weatherization Program

Is Your Home Leaking Energy and Money?

Did you know that you can get assistance with the cost of adding insulation to your home?

The Weatherization Cash Grant Program is for Alameda Municipal Power customers who use electricity for heat. The Do-It-Yourself Cash Grant Option pays up to 70% of the materials cost for weatherization.

Time to tuck your house in for energy savings!
