GRID Alternatives is a national non-profit organization that makes renewable energy technology and job training accessible to underserved communities, bringing together community partners, volunteers and job trainees to implement solar power and energy efficiency for low-income families.
In support of the Obama Administration’s announcement on July 7, 2015 to increase access to solar energy for low- and moderate-income communities, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) announced a $25,000 commitment to GRID to ensure solar is reaching underserved communities.
PG&E and GRID Alternatives have interconnected solar for 2,500 low-income households throughout Northern and Central California, including more than 400 here in the Central Valley, saving Valley residents a combined $12 million over the systems’ lifetime.
