photovoltaic installation at Columbus Tustin Gymnasium as its top priority project for full utilization
of EECBG grant funding. Projected annual energy savings from this installation is estimated at
$23,800.

(CSI) funding and received approval. The CSI Program provides upfront incentives for solar
