If you have EV charging stations at your business, you may be leaving valuable Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”) credits on the table. In this new program, Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) will help you capture these credits for your business and pay you a portion of the proceeds.

LCFS is a program run by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) that rewards EV charging station owners with credits as vehicles charge. Since PCE is providing your business with zero emission electricity, these credits are even more valuable. PCE’s estimate is that if a station is used

an average of 1.5 hours (10 kWh) per day, each station is generating over $800/year.

For questions or to get started, please contact: Phillip Kobernick, Programs Manager pkobernick@peninsulacleanenergy.com.

The State of California created CalSavers to ensure all Californians can save for their future with the ease of automatic payroll contributions and portability that allows them to keep saving as they move from job to job. With many people struggling to overcome financial setbacks caused by the pandemic, many employers are looking at retirement programs to help employees improve their financial wellness and save for the future.

State law now requires all businesses with five or more employees to participate in CalSavers if they do not offer a retirement savings plan from the private market. Eligible employers must register for CalSavers by their state required deadline, which vary by employer size. The deadline for employers with more than 50 employees is June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022 for employers with five or more employees. Eligible employers who have not yet registered should do so as soon as possible to avoid penalties. Eligible employers can register any time before their deadline. For more information on how to get started, visit CalSavers.com.
