GRID GLA will be working with the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (COG) - an assembly of 27 member cities; the SELA Collaborative - a network of nonprofits rooted in Southeast Los Angeles, TreePeople, an organization which specializes in nature-based solutions, and the LA County Chief Sustainability Office, an advocate for environmental justice within the region.

The new solar system is expected to generate over 169,000-kilowatt hours annually, covering approximately 60% of the clinic’s energy costs and eliminating over 130 tons of carbon emissions each year—benefiting both the clinic and the broader San Fernando community.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency announced that the GREEN (Green, Resilient, Energy Efficient Neighborhoods) SGV Collaborative has been awarded 20 million dollars to support a healthier, more sustainable San Gabriel Valley.

GRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles (GRID GLA) uses creativity and innovation to showcase graduating trainee's solar installation skills.

In late 2023, GRID GLA proudly completed the installation of a solar and battery storage system on the Tzu Chi Wilmington Health Center. In addition to bringing clean energy to the community clinic, the accompanying battery storage system will be able to provide backup power to this critical community space so that in the event of an outage, the center will be able to continue to extend aid to its communities and serve as a community safe haven.

Congressman Tony Cárdenas joins a GRID Alternatives solar installation in his hometown of Pacoima CA. The Congressman has worked hard to see government funding for renewable energy land on the rooftops of neighborhoods like this one.

We're proud to feature Jobs to Move America - a national nonprofit organization that partners with many labor, environmental, community, civil rights, faith, and workforce groups across the country.

GRID GLA is receiving a $500,000 philanthropic investment from JPMorgan Chase to support our Behind the Walls solar workforce training program, which will prepare women who were formerly incarcerated in LA County Lynwood Women’s Jail for career opportunities in solar and renewable energy. The 13-week, paid program will provide hands-on training for solar panel installation, along with job placement support for those who successfully complete the program.
