Although Juntas de Neji is relatively close to larger towns like Tecate and Tijuana, grid electricity has never been extended to the community.
GRID Alternatives has been working with the community of Juntas de Neji with support from the National Commission for the Development of Indigenous Towns (CDI) to bring solar electricity to 18 of these homes in 2018.

Support from sponsors like Flex Foundation is critical in enabling GRID to bring the benefits of solar- financial savings, job opportunities, and a clean, renewable energy source- to famililes and communities that would not otherwise have access.
