Energy Programs
California’s energy sector—including use of electricity and natural gas—accounts for about half of the State’s near-term greenhouse gas emissions. In October 2015, the Governor signed Senate Bill 350, which requires the State to double building energy efficiency and increase renewable energy to 50 percent by 2030. California Climate Investments provide funding for energy efficiency and clean energy generation, reduced energy and water use through installation of more efficient appliances and replacement of agricultural equipment. Residential energy efficiency programs support low-income homeowners in disadvantaged communities to improve their homes through weatherization and appliance and solar installation projects.
Open Funding Opportunities for Energy Projects
Explore programs that are now accepting applications for grants, loans, incentives, and more
Upgrades to heating, air conditioning, and ventilation (HVAC) systems in public schools and replacement of noncompliant plumbing fixtures and appliances that fail to meet water efficiency standards.
Funding will support the deployment and demonstration of pre-commercial and commercial zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicle charging and hydrogen refueling infrastructure within the California freight system, transit bus fleets, school bus fleets, and other transportation sectors, including off-road freight transport.
The Equitable Building Decarbonization Program funds two efforts: the direct install program and an incentives program. Both programs incentivize installation of all-electric appliances, energy efficiency and weatherization measures, and related building upgrades.
Provides incentives for industrial projects that provide benefits to the electrical grid and reduce GHG emissions and local air pollution. Eligible projects include those that increase energy efficiency, enhance electrical grid reliability, electrify fossil fuel processes, incorporate energy storage or renewable resources, and deploy novel decarbonization technologies and strategies.
Promote the adoption of new low-GWP refrigerant technologies; recycling, recovery, reclamation, or destruction of high-GWP refrigerants services to achieve short- and long-term climate benefits, energy efficiency, and other co-benefits.
The California Air Resources Board provides funding to local air districts to offer vouchers or rebates to replace old, inefficient, and highly polluting residential wood stoves, inserts, and fireplaces used for primary space heating with cleaner, more efficient home heating devices.
Installation of energy efficiency measures and upgrades like solar PV and health and safety improvements for farmworker dwellings at no cost to residents.
