We offer a variety of programs to help our customers save energy and money and meet their sustainability goals by reducing their carbon footprint. To help expand our outreach into the community, we have launched two grant programs to partner with local youth and not-for-profit community-based organizations to educate the Santa Clara community about the benefits of energy efficiency, renewable energy and building electrification. 

There are two funding cycles for the grant programs annually. Applications are due June 30 and December 31 of each year. Please mail applications to:
