The Power Grid and the Future of Electric in Redding
Show Notes

Is Redding ready for Electric Vehicles? And what about the move toward all electric appliances?  The answers are complicated, but essentially, yes, REU is ready now and is planning for the future.  Today we talk with Lisa Casner, Electric Manager of Resources about why moving to electric is a good option for some in our community, especially with gas prices remaining high.

She also talks to us about what it looks like to make the switch to electric appliances and the rebates available for families looking to make that change. Lisa’s goal is not to get every family to switch to electric, but to provide options that both align with State and Federal mandates, and the growing trend toward more sustainable fuel sources.

And since we mentioned sustainable resources, Lisa gives us a rundown of how REU is sourcing their electricity from sustainable wind and solar, meaning that using REU power is clean energy. We hope this episode makes you proud of being part of a locally-owned electric utility.
