\n SAN DIEGO<\/span>, April 19, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Building on the sustainability strategy<\/a> it released last October and its pledge<\/a> to reach net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2045, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) announced it is developing two hydrogen pilot projects, nearing completion of an additional battery storage facility and will break ground on another, and launching a vehicle-to-grid pilot program featuring six electric school buses, among other efforts. <\/p>\n

“Getting to a net zero future is the moonshot challenge of our era and one that the SDG&E team fully embraces,” said SDG&E Chief Executive Officer Caroline Winn<\/span>. “SDG&E has worked hard to align our investments with the climate objectives of local cities, the region and state and while there is a lot more work to be done, we are seeing many clean energy innovations emerge, and progress being made toward our mutual goal of a 100% clean energy future. While we’ll continue to evolve our efforts to reflect stakeholder feedback, regulatory changes, and technological breakthroughs, I believe we can get there\u2026one project at a time.”<\/p>\n

In partnership with local startups and organizations, SDG&E has advanced a number of hydrogen, energy storage, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure projects over the past year. (See fact sheet<\/a>). <\/p>\n

These projects illustrate some of the concrete steps SDG&E is taking to deliver on its sustainability commitments.<\/p>\n

\n Hydrogen Innovations: <\/b>SDG&E will begin construction this year on two hydrogen pilot projects that will test half a dozen use cases and anticipates putting them into service in 2022. <\/p>\n
