History

GRID was founded during the 2001 California energy crisis by Erica Mackie, P.E., and Tim Sears, P.E., two engineering professionals.[2]

According to a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency program profile, GRID "piloted its flagship Solar Affordable Housing Program in the San Francisco Bay area in 2004, and subsequently expanded to other parts of the state."[3]

In 2008, GRID was selected by the California Public Utilities Commission to serve as the statewide program manager for its Single-family Affordable Solar Homes (SASH) incentive program, prompting an expansion across California.[4]

In 2013, GRID expanded its work outside of California for the first time in Colorado.[5]

GRID Mid-Atlantic, serving Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia, was launched in September 2014. In 2017, GRID Alternatives Mid-Atlantic was selected to administer Solar Works DC, a program of the Washington, D.C. Department of Energy & Environment (DOEE) and Department of Employment Services (DOES).[6]

Regional Affiliates

GRID has 9 regional affiliates; 7 serving California and offices in Denver, Colorado and Washington, D.C.

In September 2017, regional affiliate GRID Alternatives Tri-State, serving New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, closed.[7]
