CAC will educate caregivers about the benefits of signing up for Power Saver Rewards and helping prevent a power outage when a Flex Alert is issued.

BUTTE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, June 26, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Caring Across Communities was selected by Energy Upgrade California to receive a 2024 Power Saver Rewards grant. Power Saver Rewards, an Energy Upgrade California initiative, encourages utility customers to reduce their energy use during a Flex Alert by providing them with a credit on their energy bill.

“As I cared for my mother at the end of her life, I learned caregiving can be emotionally, physically, and financially overwhelming. Caregivers need additional support and services,” said Julia Yarbough, CEO of Caring Across Communities. “Programs that can provide savings for families and caregivers are vital. I am thrilled to be selected as a Power Saver Rewards grantee to help spread the message of how caregivers and Californians can earn a credit on their electric bill when they save energy during a Flex Alert.”

Caring Across Communities, Inc. grew out of Keeping It REAL Caregiving, the newsletter and website project Ms. Yarbough created shortly after the passing of her 90-year old mother, Nellie Yarbough, in 2020. Keeping It REAL Caregiving provides information and resources to family caregivers through its Substack newsletter, blogs, and social media.

This is Caring Across Communities’ first year of participation in the Power Saver Rewards grant program. Millions of Californians have already enrolled in the program and received credits on their energy bills after saving energy during a Flex Alert. A Flex Alert is typically issued during a heatwave when there is not enough energy supply to match demand. When each of us reduces our energy use during a Flex Alert, it helps prevent a power outage.
