We are thrilled to share exciting news from the recent collaborative event hosted by GRID Alternatives Bay Area and Habitat for Humanity East Bay Silicon Valley on May 16, 2023.
In the spirit of Women’s History Month, and her 9-year anniversary with GRID Alternatives, we are honored to celebrate Cora Saxton, Director of the Bay Area North Coast (BANC) GRID region.
Morgan lives in San Mateo County and helps care for her mother who needs medical assistance. She was able to buy an electric vehicle (EV) through the used EV rebate program offered by GRID Alternatives Bay Area in partnership with Peninsula Clean Energy, the official electricity provider for San Mateo County and the city of Los Banos.
We call for a resilient and sustainable clean energy system, where solar power and battery storage can help individuals, families, and communities access energy in the aftermath of these storms, and every day in between.
Recently, GRID installed 20 off-grid solar-powered refrigerators for families in the Kumeyaay communities of Juntas de Neji and San Antonio Necua with support from Sempra Foundation. Refrigeration allows families to keep food, beverages, and medicine cold without having to drive 20-40 minutes to a nearby town to buy ice. The solar systems immediately save families time, money and improve health.
