We are happy to share that GRID Alternatives is one of Rivian Foundation's grantees! Rivian Foundation is supporting our efforts to develop and deploy innovative models for equitable access to public EV charging. Through pilot programs across diverse markets, including partnerships with Tribes and utility companies, we aim to create scalable business models that provide affordable EV charging to income-qualified drivers. This initiative will leverage existing income-qualified electricity discounts and introduce new programs to make clean mobility accessible to all. By increasing access to EV infrastructure and expanding job training opportunities in the communities we serve, Rivian Foundation’s support is contributing to driving an inclusive, just transition to clean transportation.

Well done to our team in Nepal and to this wonderful group of travelers! Our 2025 international impact trips are now open - if you see yourself joining us to electrify communities in Nepal, Nicaragua, or Mexico, it's time to register your interest!

Last week, we finished our project bringing no-cost rooftop solar to the Operation Dignity, Inc. House of Dignity shelter. House of Dignity is a converted 1920s hotel that contains 54 units to now provide shelter as well as transitional and permanent housing for veterans in the Bay Area. The new solar system is expected to offset the shelter’s electricity costs, allowing administrative staff to allocate even more funding towards proving care and service to the hundreds of veterans who come through their doors. We will be sharing more details about this project soon - stay tuned! #bayarea #houseofdignity #operationdignity #veteran #veteransupport #solar #renewables #renewableenergy #nonprofit

What a great event, and so happy our incredible Inland Empire team had the opportunity to lead the TCC lessons learned panel!

We’re excited to share that we are a recipient of the IGS Energy Clean Energy for Everyone grant! This grant supports nonprofits that are increasing access to solar energy and clean energy jobs, and we’re thrilled that IGS Energy will be supporting our International Program's work in Mexico, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Puerto Rico. We are so excited for the road ahead as we continue to expand access to clean energy in our communities! To read more about the grant, visit: https://lnkd.in/ecjwKr_P

Currently, nearly half of American households and businesses are unable to use rooftop solar systems due to high costs of installation or because they live in buildings that cannot host solar panels. U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján recently introduced the Community Solar Consumer Choice Act, legislation that would support community solar projects and expand access to solar energy across the country, regardless of one’s income or ability to host a solar system on their roof. Directing more resources to expand renewable energy through community solar projects would lower energy costs for consumers, support good-paying green energy jobs, and help combat the climate crisis. “As the climate crisis continues to worsen, it’s clear that we must do more to support clean energy projects like community solar,” said Senator Luján. “I’m proud to introduce the Community Solar Consumer Choice Act to expand access to solar power through community solar projects for all Americans and create more good-paying, clean energy jobs."
