Funding Will Support Solar Energy, Battery Storage, Transportation Electrification, Workforce Development and Education Initiatives<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LA MESA, Calif.<\/strong> \u2014 San Diego Community Power, in partnership with San Diego Foundation, today announced nearly $1.2 million in funding for 15 projects that will expand clean energy infrastructure, transportation options, workforce opportunities and energy education throughout the San Diego region.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The funding will help nonprofit organizations, public agencies, educational institutions and other tax-exempt entities deliver projects that improve energy reliability, lower barriers to clean energy transportation and connect residents with education and career opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese investments put practical clean energy solutions within reach for more people,\u201d said Genevieve Suzuki, La Mesa vice mayor and a member of the San Diego Community Power Board of Directors. \u201cWhether a resident gains a more affordable way to get to work, a student sees a path to a well-paying career or a community facility is better prepared for a power disruption, these projects will translate local investment into lasting community benefits.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since launching in 2023, the Community Clean Energy Grants program and its funding partners have invested more than $3.6 million in 55 projects across San Diego County. Those investments have reached more than 26,000 community members while supporting solar installations, clean transportation, workforce opportunities and energy education throughout Community Power\u2019s service area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Over the past four years, this program has evolved from a promising pilot into a growing regional investment in community resilience,” said Jack Clark, acting chief executive officer and chief operating officer at San Diego Community Power. “These projects demonstrate how local organizations can turn innovative ideas into lasting improvements for the communities they serve. As we continue building cleaner, more reliable energy systems across the region, the opportunity to expand that impact will only increase.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s grants were offered through two funding tracks: one supports clean energy infrastructure, including solar energy, battery storage, building electrification and transportation projects; the other supports education, workforce development and community programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two-track structure builds on the program\u2019s success while placing greater emphasis on infrastructure that can improve reliability and deliver benefits beyond a single grant cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen philanthropy, public agencies and community organizations work together, we can bring cleaner energy and more reliable power to communities across our region,\u201d said Pamela Gray Payton, vice president and chief impact and partnerships officer at San Diego Foundation. \u201cThese investments also create opportunities for people to learn new skills and build careers, while helping protect the environment we all depend on.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That long-term impact is reflected in a $150,000 award to Tierras Ind\u00edgenas Community Land Trust in Barrio Logan. The organization will install a 10.56-kilowatt solar energy system, 13.5 kilowatt-hours of battery storage and electrical upgrades at a community-owned building supporting affordable housing, cultural programming and neighborhood services. The project is expected to generate approximately 14,000 kilowatt-hours of energy annually while improving reliability and creating space for culturally relevant energy education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCommunity-owned infrastructure creates long-term value because it responds directly to the priorities of the neighborhood,\u201d said Julie Corrales, executive director of Tierras Ind\u00edgenas Community Land Trust. \u201cThis investment will help strengthen energy resilience in Barrio Logan while supporting affordable housing, cultural preservation and a community space where residents can learn about clean energy solutions.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grants totaling $1,169,878 were awarded to 15 organizations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
