Cal Integrity
Prove results before ratepayers ask questions.
California ratepayers invest billions every year in energy-efficiency programs, yet too few receive the full benefits. Consumers want answers. Boards want accountability. Regulators want proof.
$30 billion invested. Trust requires proof.
Since 1998, California ratepayers have invested more than $30 billion in energy-efficiency programs. Yet many projects, permits, rebates, and reported savings remain difficult to independently verify. Millions in incentives can go unverified for years.
The issue is not funding. The issue is verification.
When results cannot be proven, trust erodes — and questions, audits, and investigations follow.
A simple 3-step plan
Cal Integrity helps utilities, cities, counties, CCAs, contractors, and program administrators verify results, reduce risk, protect local investment, and build public trust.
