“As the City is nearly built-out, the focus of energy conservation in Citrus Heights is on retrofitting existing homes and businesses. The City continues to explore the use of grant funds and programs with SMUD and non-profit agencies to establish programs for home weatherization and solar retrofit. In cooperation with SMUD, PG&E, the California Energy Commission, and other public utilities, subject all municipal buildings to an energy audit and perform practicable energy conservation alterations on municipal buildings.” -City of Citrus Heights Website
