Flipping the Switch – Helping Schools Achieve Clean Energy Goals

A virtual workshop to help schools creatively use tools and funding approaches to get to zero.

Join us for a dynamic virtual workshop featuring real-life stories from school districts at the forefront of electrification. Brought to you by Southern California Edison (SCE) and by New Buildings Institute (NBI), hear firsthand how schools are transforming their campuses with electric kitchens, EV buses, and clean energy infrastructure.

District presenters will share lessons learned, funding strategies, and tangible impacts on student health and learning. Tap in and collaborate with experts, school staff, policymakers, and community leaders to learn how to create healthier, resilient, and sustainable schools for future generations. Whether you’re just starting to explore electrification or actively seeking funding solutions, this session will provide actionable guidance to help you move forward. The session will include dedicated time for Q&A and peer connection to support your own electrification journey.

Two sessions will be offered with the same agenda and speakers to help provide options for busy schedules.
