Syserco Energy Solutions, Inc. | 215 Fourier Avenue : Suite 140 | Fremont, CA 94539 Good Evening Members of the Cotati City Council:
My name is Gabe Johnson and I work for an Energy Services company called Syserco Energy Solutions.
We are a Bay-Area based company with offices in Fremont and Petaluma.
The purpose of my comments is to bring to your attention an opportunity that you may want to consider taking advantage of:
We have all been feeling the pain of recent utility rate increases. I suspect that Cotati’s cost of electricity and natural gas has been increasing at higher rates than budgeted, but did you know it’s about to get much worse? The California Public Utility Company’s recent SB 695 report has forecasted PG&E’s commercial rates to increase by 49% over the next 4 years! This is not good news for any of us, but the City of Cotati has an opportunity to think outside of the box, and do something about it.
Instead of wasting a significant amount of money by continuing to over-pay PG&E, wouldn’t it make more sense to redirect this money back into the City’s infrastructure? Instead of sending the money to the utility company, why not send it back to the City of Cotati? This is how I can help.
The majority of Cities in CA have completed SOME amount of energy conservation work, but almost none have completed ALL there is to do. The concept is simple: Cut out the remaining energy inefficiencies and leverage the realized savings to pay for the cost of the infrastructure improvements that generate the savings. This requires ZERO capital.
The City is already spending the money. But it’s all going to the utility company. Why not get something out of it? Doing this will literally save the City money AND make Cotati a better place to live and work.
It’s a Win-Win for the City.
If you are interested in exploring what this opportunity looks like for your City, I am offering to provide a FREE ANALYSIS and then return to present our findings, so that you can be informed. There’s nothing to lose, and likely a lot to gain.
Please let me know if you would like me to work with City staff to provide you with this information.
I have attached a 1-page summary of the energy crisis in California, and what can be done about it.
Please review it, and I would love to hear your feedback.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Gabe Johnson

Epic heat waves experienced in the summer have brought
California’s power grid to the brink of collapse multiple times.
The Energy & Climate Crisis is Real
Rate hikes, aging equipment, and
deferred maintenance result in
financial instability. Every year you
don’t get a handle on your current
needs is one step closer to
higher future costs.
The California Energy Crisis
How Climate Change is Affecting Your City
Cities Aren’t Doing Enough Plan Ahead to Avoid Capital Loss The need to respond to emergency
situations related to blackouts
can place additional burdens on
City Council Members.
California is among the top five states suffering economic effects from climate-related natural disasters.
Your Utility Rates are
Going Up. Again.
Leverage energy savings to pay for initiatives that align with City Council goals without dipping into your Capital Fund.
STOP WASTEFUL SPENDING
When your buildings consume excess
energy, taxpayer dollars flow to PG&E
instead of supporting your community,
infrastructure, and local economy.
