Energy Efficient Refrigerators 

Project Status:  Please note that as of February 26, 2010, we are working on processing your rebates. Thank you for your patience. As of November 30, 2009, 65 applications for new refrigerators had been accepted, and several of these had already been delivered and installed.  We are still evaluating the program results, and will update this page if the program is extended or broadened to include additional refrigerator sizes.

 Do you have an inefficient refrigerator in your department?

  

Participate in a pilot program where 100 refrigerators will be offered on a first come-first serve basis at a steep discount ($275 off/almost 50% discount).  The campus has partnered with PG&E to offer this incentive as part of our Strategic Energy Partnership.  You can sign up to be notified of future discounts or to give feedback on the program.

 

This pilot program will save the campus $9,500 annually in energy costs and provide you with a new, clean Energy Star rated refrigerator.  If you want a new refrigerator and can afford to buy one, we encourage you to participate.

 

The program ends on November 30, 2009.  For additional questions, please email brightgreenenergy [at] lists [dot] berkeley [dot] edu.

 

This project is part of the Cal Climate Action Partnership working to reduce campus greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2014.

 

This project was funded in part by the 2009-11 Energy Efficiency Partnership, which is a partnership including the University of California, California State University, and Investor Owned Utilities.
