Silicon Valley Power - Emerging Technologies Grant Program

This program is not available to homeowners—it serves only commercial and industrial businesses. Contact Silicon Valley Power directly if your business wants to explore emerging energy-saving technologies like advanced lighting, HVAC, or refrigeration equipment that are not yet widely adopted.

This program targets early-stage or hard-to-reach market segments (e.g., industries resistant to energy upgrades) and funds demonstration projects for innovative technologies. Work with Silicon Valley Power to propose projects involving new products, emerging applications, or proven technologies entering new sectors; the program prioritizes market transformation over standard retrofits.

The Emerging Technologies Grant Program provides financial assistance to commercial and industrial customers implementing energy-saving innovations—including lighting, HVAC, refrigeration, and custom/pending-approval technologies. Funding targets three categories: new products/applications lacking current commercial viability, proven but unfamiliar technologies with market potential, and efficiency measures entering resistant industries. Structure funding to demonstrate market viability and sector transformation rather than standardized energy savings.
