North Valley Energy Watch (NVEW) can help you save energy and money and reduce your carbon footprint. NVEW provides energy efficiency services and incentives to qualifying public agencies, non-profit organizations and businesses.
The North Valley Energy Watch is a local government partnership between Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and Northern Rural Communities Development, Inc. (NRCD).
