Curious about going electric? 

Come explore what electrification actually looks like in a real home—right here on the island.

Hosted by Alameda Electric Coach Yung, you are invited to get hands-on with an electrified home in Alameda. No presentations—just real equipment, real experiences, and plenty of time for questions.

What you can explore:

• Induction cooking
• Heat pump water heater
• Electric vehicle and home charging
• Solar panels and home battery

Learn how these upgrades can lower costs, improve air quality, increase safety, and add resilience during outages.

📅 Two Tours: Sat, April 4th 3-4pm and 4-5pm. Register here

Talk to an Alameda Electric Coach

Yung and a few other Alamedans are graduates of the Rewiring Electric Coach program. Their goal is to help neighbors upgrade their home with electrification to lower costs, improve air quality, increase safety, and add resilience during outages.  Find out more about the coaches and contact them here. 

The Community Benefit Building Electrification Grant Program is now open to non-profits and community based organizations in Alameda. This grant will award one or more applicants with funding to complete their electrification projects. 

AMP may approve a single or multiple awards, not to exceed $250,000 total for all projects per fiscal year. The maximum award amount per project will be capped at $50,000 or 80% of total project cost (the lesser of either value).
