- Thursday April 22nd, 2010 - Energy Services recognized Earth Day by participating in two celebrations commemorating the day. The Redding Rancheria hosted an event on April 22, where REU will demonstrate the energy efficiency of CFL’s as a booth vendor. On April 25, a consortium of community members from REU, First United Methodist Church, the Shasta Conservation Fund, Shasta – Tehama Shedheads, Sustainable Earth Alliance of Northern California (SCEANC), Western Shasta Resource Conservation District and several others organized the Earth Day/ Watershed Festival at Sculpture Park in front of City Hall. Exhibitors entertained and educated hundreds of kids and families. Music, dancing, food and fun activities rounded out the wholesome day that was free and open to the public. See some photos.
- Wednesday April 14th, 2010 - Halcyon Solar Construction donated and installed a 9.4 kilowatt photovoltaic solar system at the Good News Rescue Mission, located at 3100 S. Market Street in Redding. The new solar system will generate enough electricity to save the Good News Rescue Mission more than $2,000 per year in energy costs, which will afford the Mission the opportunity to serve 750 more meals each year. The environmental impact of the project will prevent 600,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from going into the air, the equivalence of taking three cars off the road for the next 25 years or planting five acres of trees. The project was made possible through Redding Electric Utility rebates. Click here to see some photos.

- Tuesday August 25th, 2009 - Since 2005, REU has successfully installed eight small scale thermal energy storage (TES) systems, Ice Energy – Ice Bear units, at various customer sites throughout our service territory. The use of TES systems to shift costly, on-peak demand for air conditioning to off-peak hours has proven to be a cost-effective load shifting resource for REU. The Redding City Council recently authorized REU to broaden its reach with “ice” approving the Utility’s purchase of 50 more Ice Bear units. To learn more about Ice Energy’s Ice Bear units, REU encourages you to watch the REU/Ice Energy video.
If you are interested in an Ice Bear for your commercial building, contact Bryan Cope at (530) 339-7213 or Dave Jackson at (530) 339-7240.
