Help Your Favorite Middle School and Save Energy at the Same Time

The more energy you save, the more you can win! The San Diego Energy Challenge will run from June through Nov. 30, 2012, and your school could win big. The winning schools will split $30,000 and households can win tablet computers and gift cards.

This summer, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) is sponsoring the San Diego Energy Challenge, an online game that encourages our community to conserve energy. Through the San Diego Energy Challenge, San Diego Unified area residents are eligible to earn "Reduce Your Use" day rewards by saving energy, while also earning points for the San Diego Unified middle school of their choice. Even if you do not have a child attending a middle school, you can still participate in the Energy Challenge if you live within the boundaries of San Diego Unified. This is a social and fun way to get everyone working together to save energy.

It’s easy to get started:

Step 1: Have your SDG&E® account number ready and sign up at www.sdenergychallenge.com . 

Step 2: Select the SDUSD Middle School of your choice
