Peninsula Clean Energy reinvests in San Mateo County by providing energy programs and incentives that further decrease greenhouse gas emissions and offer other benefits to the community.
Energy resiliency
The Peninsula Clean Energy Board of Directors has approved $10 million for programs to provide community readiness for power shutoffs and emergencies. This includes solar plus storage solutions for the medically vulnerable, community-scale emergency response centers, and critical infrastructure. Read the resilience plan and sign up for program updates.

Our upcoming EV Ready program provides technical design assistance and incentives for installation of EV chargers for locations with multiple users. Peninsula Clean Energy is partnering with the California Energy Commission to launch an incentive project in 2020 to increase publicly available electric vehicle charging locations. Under this $24 million program thousands of charging stations will be installed in San Mateo County over the next four years.
Electric vehicle (EV) incentives
Peninsula Clean Energy offers incentives for new and used EV purchases. Incentives for new EVs were offered in 2018 and 2019. The 2020 program for new EVs is under development. The ongoing DriveForward Electric Program makes it more affordable for income-qualifying San Mateo County residents to purchase a used EV by providing a vehicle incentive up to $4,000.
