Rebuilding Energy Resilient Homes Advancing Clean Energy Projects
Communities and energy providers are driving
towards bold carbon reduction goals. And TRC
is partnering with them for strategic electrification
solutions that provide important clean energy
benefits. To achieve its goals of advancing clean energy
projects that benefit the environment and local
communities, a top U.S. solar company needed
a trusted partner to help it locate optimal sites
for development. TRC supported early phase
development activities at over 400 sites across
19 states.
Through the award-winning Advanced Energy
Rebuild Program (AER), sponsored jointly by
Pacific Gas & Electric and Sonoma Clean Power
and managed by TRC, we helped homeowners
rebuild highly energy efficient, above-code homes
after losses in the 2017 California wildfires.
The AER program was designed to be easily
accessed by homeowners and included an all-
electric home design option and a battery storage
bonus for greater environmental benefits.

2019 Sustainability Report
Our biologists, planners and GIS specialists
identified environmental factors, land use
requirements and stakeholder concerns that could
constrain or impact project development and
proposed solutions to overcome critical hurdles.
TRC then completed environmental surveys to
help the client address wildlife and plant habitat
impacts, important ecological communities,
wetlands and waterways, floodplains, recreational
areas and known migratory bird or eagle issues.
