Sixteen local nonprofits are stepping up to better support San Mateo County customers of all diverse backgrounds by sharing information in multiple languages about energy bill discounts and a wide range of other benefits of clean energy, electric transportation, and appliances. These creative partnerships and outreach, funded by a new round of grants, will help inform customers across the county, including those who primarily speak Spanish, Chinese, and Tagalog, on how to receive assistance in meeting their energy needs. Our 16 nonprofit partners include 350 Silicon Valley, Acterra, Nuestra Casa, Rise South City, Silicon Valley Youth Climate Action, and Sustainable San Mateo County, among other participating organizations.

Affordable EV charging at scale is possible — and cheaper than you might think. Here's how PCE and Pando Electric brought 92 new EV parking spaces at <$500 each to this condo property in East Palo Alto. #EVcharging #electricvehicles #cleanenergyfuture #eastpaloalto

This recent EV Ready project at a condo property in East Palo Alto demonstrates how multi-unit properties can install EV charging without utility service upgrades by maximizing existing electrical capacity using our "right-sizing" approach to EV charging. Pando smart outlets provide power management so that properties can install EV charging at scale with the available power capacity that they already have—no need to get costly and time-consuming power upgrades. Project Details: Total outlets: 92 Average total cost per charger: $2,600 Average out-of-pocket costs (after PCE incentives applied): $500 each This method enables full EV charging access for all residents while avoiding costly and time-consuming electrical system modifications.

Scaling EV infrastructure to meet growing demand is critical, and Phillip Kobernick and Zach Shahan dig into what’s needed in this CleanTechnica podcast. Phillip discusses practical solutions like expanding Level 1 charging access, especially for multi-family homes, as well as insights on how building codes and addressing the duck curve can drive EV adoption.

On October 24th, Peninsula Clean Energy hosted California Public Utilities Commission staff to showcase our “right-sizing” approach to electrification with visits to two key sites: • A single-family home in our whole-home electrification pilot • An apartment complex with 30 affordable Level 1 EV charging stations These projects demonstrate scalable, low-cost electrification for hard-to-reach customers while avoiding costly grid upgrades. Together, we're paving the way for equitable, efficient decarbonization across California communities! #Electrification #CommunityImpact #AffordableEnergy #CPUC
