GRID Alternatives Inland Empire (GRID IE) is a proud partner with the City of Ontario in its implementation of the city's Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) program grant.

The Big Pine Paiute Tribe of the Owens Valley enthusiastically observed Earth Day by welcoming the sun thanks to a grant from the GRID Alternatives (GRID) Tribal Solar Accelerator Fund (TSAF).

GRID IE happily welcomed Jess Tirado and Gary Mazzei from Citizens Business Bank to tour the Clean Tech Training Center.

On April 25th, 2023, U.S. Bank and GRID Inland Empire collaborated on a successful Team-Building Sponsored Volunteer Workday in Ontario, California.

The Bishop Paiute Tribe, in partnership with GRID IE, announced they had met their goal of installing solar on over 200 out of a planned 400 homes for qualified Tribal members on the small reservation.  

“I think there are a lot of people in my community who would like this program. This opportunity does not come every day – it all depends on funding,” says Steven Chung, a happily married retiree in the Eastside community of Riverside.

Toward the end of 2022, Wells Fargo and GRID Inland Empire collaborated in two successful Team-Building Sponsored Volunteer Workdays.

On 6th December 2022, GRID Alternatives Inland Empire held our annual Sunshine Awards - this year also including the Clean Tech Training Center (CTTC) Celebration - to honor individuals and organizations who are advancing work that aligns with GRID’s mission.

GRID Alternatives Inland Empire (GRID IE) is answering the call to train the workforce for our growing clean energy economy. We’re building the Clean Tech Training Center (CTTC) at our Riverside facility!
