“It is only fitting that the natural strengths of San Diego’s technology, science, and business communities be marshaled to achieve a goal of not just local but of global importance.”

San Diego Clean Enterprise Program


Program Opportunity
On June 1, 2009 CleanTECH San Diego in partnership with SDG&E and Mayor Sanders launched a program that offers qualified small businesses in the City of San Diego interest free financing for up to 5 years to fund energy efficiency improvements such as lighting retrofits, HVAC upgrades, water and heat pumps and food service equipment.

Program Benefits
This program will benefit small business owners throughout the City by assisting them with energy-efficiency upgrades that will help lower energy consumption and control costs with little to no out-of-pocket expense on their part. In these challenging economic times, every penny counts for small businesses, and this program can help them save money and energy while promoting green-business practices that lead to a more environmentally sustainable San Diego.

The program will also help create green jobs. This program will help the economy by creating demand for energy-efficiency equipment; services such as small business assessments and audits; and contractor services to install equipment. Green jobs will advance proven opportunities to deliver greener, more energy-efficient buildings in San Diego while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

By combining these SDG&E programs, providing the Mayor's support and having CleanTECH San Diego administer the program, we strategically enable small businesses weather the upcoming summer months and these challenging financial times.
