Energy Efficiency Financing
Get financing for new, energy efficient equipment
PG&E offers 0% interest loans for replacing old and worn-out equipment with more energy-efficient models. We'll set you up with a loan repayment amount that is in line with the monthly energy savings from your upgrade. Your energy bill shouldn't increase due to your equipment investment. Once your loan is paid off, you will see savings on your bill.
Loans range between $5,000 and $4,000,000 per premise, with loan periods of up to 120 months.
In some circumstances, GoGreen Business Financing for small businesses might be a better option:
- An expedited installation.
- A loan of less than $5,000.
- Project requires longer payback (i.e., windows, rooftop HVAC).

PLEASE NOTE: PG&E offers Energy Efficiency Financing to our eligible customers on a first-come, first-served basis until program funds are no longer available. *Where, in PG&E's sole opinion, unique opportunities to capture large energy savings exist and all other EEF loan program terms will be met, the sum of the loan amounts for a Government Agency Customer's premises may exceed two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) up to a maximum of four million dollars ($4,000,000). Talk to a PG&E Account Representative for more information. Energy Efficiency funds, including On-Bill Finance loan funds, are public funds. Depending on the project and type of work performed, a project that receives Energy Efficiency or On-Bill Finance loan funds may be considered a public work (as defined under Labor Code section 1720 et. seq.). For information on the rules and regulations that apply to public works, including payment of prevailing wages, see the Department of Industrial Relations website.
