Get ready for summer outages
Soaring temperatures and extreme dry weather may trigger power outages this summer. The silver lining is that if we work together, we can prevent some of these outages.
In our latest article, Summer outages: How you can prepare and help prevent them, learn about Flex Alerts, Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), tips for how you can help, and ways that you can prepare.

E-Bikes for Everyone
Transportation is the largest source of carbon dioxide in San Mateo County1. In order to reduce carbon emissions, we provide resources to help residents switch from gas to electric transportation options. We also want to give residents of all income levels the opportunity to participate.
Last month, we launched an incentive program for electric bikes (e-bikes) for income-qualifying residents. The response to the program exceeded all expectations, with over 400 applicants in the first week! We are not accepting any more applications at this time but we will continue to monitor and report on this program. Congratulations to all program participants!

The All-Electric Building Awards
All-electric buildings are the wave of the future: they are more comfortable, energy efficient, and healthier for our families and the planet.
To showcase innovative buildings that made the switch from gas to electric, we created the All-Electric Leadership Awards. A committee of distinguished building design and electrification experts reviewed the submissions and decided who to award.
In May, we announced the winners of the 2021 All-Electric Leadership Awards. Builders, property owners, and design teams at the forefront of building electrification in San Mateo County were recognized.

 Expanding service to Los Banos
Los Banos joined Peninsula Clean Energy in October 2020, and will begin service in 2022. Homes and businesses will take advantage of electricity rates that are lower than PG&E’s.
Los Banos residents will also start receiving power from solar power generated by the 200-megawatt Wright Solar Project, which is located just outside the city’s boundaries and generates power exclusively for Peninsula Clean Energy customers.
