CSE tested and verified the integration of energy efficiency, solar photovoltaic systems and other demand-side resources to convert three public libraries to near zero net energy (ZNE) buildings. Learn more

With our partners, we’re evaluating the energy efficiency, resiliency, and economic benefits of a flexible campus microgrid system that could be a blueprint for community colleges elsewhere. Learn More

In 2021, the United States suffered at least 20 separate billion-dollar extreme weather disasters. From Western wildfires to Texas ice storms, power grids have been under siege.

The California Energy Commission (CEC) has awarded the Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE) up to $250 million in block grant funding to design and implement incentive programs that accelerate installation of light-duty electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure throughout the state.
