The SVCE Decarbonization Grant is aimed at helping local communities move away from fossil fuel-reliant energy and towards a grid which relies on renewable sources such as wind and solar energy. Through the grant, local communities are enabled to develop infrastructure, informational material, and community resources focused on moving from fossil fuel-based energy to renewable sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. Through the creation of the grant in March, 2023, SVCE has committed to awarding over $10 million into local community clean energy programs and infrastructure. This kiosk is an outgrowth of the SVCE grant and was generously funded through the grant. The goal of this kiosk and other tools like it are to provide insightful, engaging, and effective education to residents on the benefits of switching to electric, renewable, energy and how simple these switches can be.

Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) is a regional, independent, public organization based in the south bay which provides clean power to over 270,000 homes and focuses on providing expertise, resources, and ideas to communities and individuals wanting to pursue a cleaner and greener energy future. SV Clean Energy flipped the switch and started providing carbon-free electricity at competitive rates to the community. Businesses and residents received notices about their new choices and that the switch to SV Clean Energy service was automatic. Since flipping the switch in 2017, SV Clean Energy has been supplying clean electricity to about 96% of residents and businesses in the community. SV Clean Energy is fighting climate change locally, accelerating renewable energy statewide, and reinvesting in our community through customer offers and services, grants, scholarships and sponsorships.
