Welcome to the CCB Happenings for June 10
Power Saver Rewards Rollout
California Council of the Blind is honored to be a grant recipient of the
2022 Power Saver Rewards education and outreach project.
The Power Saver Rewards program is a new initiative created by the
California Public Utilities Commission intended to provide residents with
rebate incentives for conserving energy during a called Flex Alert.
Flex Alerts are issued during heat waves and are designed to remind us when
and how to save energy to avoid preventable power outages in California.
For additional program details, please visit

Community Educator at James.Collins@CCBnet.org
