LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Northern Rural Energy Network, or NREN, a program of the Lake Area Planning Council, is being administered in Lake County as a direct response to the unique issues and urgent needs of underrepresented rural California energy customers.
NREN is part of a statewide initiative of regional energy networks focused on helping communities address rising utility costs through the adoption of energy efficiency programs targeted at rural customers.
Many of NREN Lake’s cash rebates have increased with the purchase of new, energy efficient appliances.
NREN also offers generous rebates for heat pump hot water heaters — from $750 to $1,000 — and heating/cooling systems.
Federal tax credits are also available for heat pump technologies up to $2,000 but expire in December of 2025.
As of October, purchasing a new Energy Star most efficient refrigerator, an Energy Star front loading washing machine and dryer will get you a $150 cash rebate for each appliance. Go to NREN’s website to find out about these and other rebates at Northernren.org.
“Rebates are an important incentive to help people replace old, inefficient appliances with new efficient ones that will help save on utility bills over the life of an appliance. Increasing the rebate amounts just makes sense. We want to get this funding out to Lake County utility customers,” said Lisa Davey-Bates, executive director of the Lake Area Planning Council. “Coupling our NREN rebates with soon-to-expire federal tax credits can help substantially to offset the cost of a new, efficient heat pump heating and cooling system which costs less to operate than traditional systems and makes a home more comfortable all year round.”
Developed by rural agencies and organizations for rural communities, NREN delivers innovative approaches to reduce energy use and expand the adoption of energy-saving resources across Northern California’s vast rural regions.
More information on NREN's services can be found at NorthernREN.org.

LAKEPORT, Calif. — Concerned community members from across Lake County will gather in Lakeport’s Old Courthouse Museum Square on Main Street at noon on Saturday, Oct. 18, to take part in a nationwide, broad-based, peaceful protest called “No Kings — October Mobilization.”
This is the second No Kings Nationwide rally and is expected to be even larger than the record-setting protest on June 14.
The first No Kings Day, designed to coincide with Trump’s birthday military parade, brought out some 1.5 million people nationwide and 1,200 in Lakeport.
Organizers expect even larger numbers this time noting that planned events around the country exceed those that took place in June.
Indivisible Lake County co-founder Gary Maes emphasized that “we are firmly dedicated to the peaceful and respectful exercise of the people’s rights to free expression in the public square.”
“Indivisible Lake County is a non-partisan grass-roots organization seeking to promote democratic principles and callout the corruption and authoritarian overreach of the current administration,” said spokesperson Denise Rushing. “We unite once again on October 18 to remind the world that in the United States of America, the power belongs to the people.”
Old Courthouse Museum Park is located at 255 N. Main St., Lakeport.
