Expo Helps Businesses Go ‘Green,’ Reduce Energy Costs

With
more California businesses focusing on making their operations environmentally
friendly, an expo held last week in Downey showed companies how “going
green” can be good for their bottom line.
On Tuesday, April 29, The Gas Company hosted its 3rd Annual Energy
Efficiency Expo, where commercial and industrial natural gas customers
learned about the latest energy-saving technologies and financial incentives
available to accelerate the return on investment from energy efficiency.
“California leads the nation in energy efficiency,” said
Debra L. Reed, president and chief executive officer of Southern California
Gas Co. “How to use energy more wisely to both reduce costs and
lessen the impact on the environment is frequently cited by our customers
as one of their top priorities, and we’re committed to helping
them accomplish this.”
This year’s event featured California Public Utilities Commissioner
Timothy Alan Simon delivering a keynote address, and economist Jack
Kyser, senior vice president of the Los Angeles County Economic Development
Corp. lead a breakout session on energy and the region’s economy.
Other breakout sessions included energy efficiency in the food-service
industry, compliance with AB 32 (California’s Global Warming
Solutions Act of 2006) and energy efficiency in the public sector.
Honored at the expo were the biggest energy-saving projects of 2007,
including that of a South Gate oil refinery that received a $195,000
incentive from The Gas Company for equipment upgrades that have reduced
the company’s annual energy costs by more than $1 million.
