SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Building on the sustainability strategy it released last October, San Diego Gas & Electric announced it is developing two hydrogen pilot projects, nearing completion of an additional battery storage facility and poised to break ground on another and launching a vehicle-to-grid pilot program featuring six electric school buses.
“Getting to a net zero future is the moonshot challenge of our era and one that the SDG&E team fully embraces,” said SDG&E CEO Caroline Winn.
“SDG&E has worked hard to align our investments with the climate objectives of local cities, the region and state and while there is a lot more work to be done, we are seeing many clean energy innovations emerge, and progress being made toward our mutual goal of a 100% clean energy future,” she said. “While we’ll continue to evolve our efforts to reflect stakeholder feedback, regulatory changes and technological breakthroughs, I believe we can get there … one project at a time.”

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) â Thousands of students went back to the classroom this week, and plans are already in motion for summer school. Summer programs are expected to give students a chance to catch up after falling behind the past year.
The San Diego Unified School District says between 5-10% of their students are failing every class. They credit that learning loss to struggles with distance and hybrid platforms throughout the pandemic. Theyâre hoping to fix that this summer.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Since September, nearly every student at St. Katharine Drexel Academy has been on campus, as the school has held in-person learning five days a week.
Principal Kelly Bonde says it took a major effort to make that happen. Every single classroom but one was moved across campus, Bonde explains. We had to take out all of the furniture in the classrooms and replace it with different furniture to keep every kid six feet apart. So it was quite challenging.
