The city applied for the Sunnyvale-based nonprofit’s Competitive Community Grant Program and is one of six grant recipients; the others are Milpitas, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Saratoga and Santa Clara County also received grants from the Sunnyvale-based green energy aggregator.

SVCE awarded a total of $3.4 million for projects and initiatives that support clean energy in buildings and transportation and inspire community engagement for clean, electric solutions. About $3 million will be used for capital improvement or demonstration projects; the remaining $400,000 will be used for engagement programs.

“As funding is cut at a federal level, these grants will help continue the momentum to build a clean energy future led by local action,” reads an SVCE press release.
