Mrs. Neal, a Long Beach native, got her home in Los Angeles with the help of GRID partner Restore Neighborhood LA. The 4kW system is expected to save her about $740 per year in electricity costs, a big help for her and the six grandkids who live with her. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an incredible thing to work on policy and then see the actual stories behind it,\u201d said Mr. Garcetti. \u201cMy head is swimming and my heart is swelling at this announcement.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>LA 500 is expected to add up to 1.6 megawatts (MW) of new solar capacity in the City of Los Angeles, and could save families up to $15 million on utility bills over the lifetime of their solar systems, preventing up to 30,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions \u2013 equivalent to taking 5,800 cars off the road for a year. GRID GLA has installed more than 1,100 solar systems across the region to-date, including over 100 in the City of Los Angeles. These installations have provided nearly 71,000 hours of workforce training to nearly 3,500 individuals, and GRID GLA has helped place more than 220 local workers in jobs with the solar industry. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe work we do at GRID is only possible because of the efforts of leaders and advocates across California and the country who understand that tackling climate change will only be possible when every community has access to the solutions and benefits,\u201d said GRID GLA Executive Director Michael Kadish. \u201cHere in Los Angeles we are grateful to have such a leader in our Mayor.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti visited a live installation in South Los Angeles today to highlight the city\u2019s commitment to sustainability as GRID GLA announced our LA 500 pledge in support of LA\u2019s  Sustainable City pLAn.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":3400,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[80],"tags":[],"audience":[],"content-type":[12],"focus-area":[],"region":[],"series":[],"content-author":[],"class_list":["post-3399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-policy-advocacy","content-type-news"],"acf":{"hero_media_type":"image","hero_media_image":null,"hero_media_url":"","hero_media_poster":null,"hero_video_play":"inline","related_stories":null,"pattern_override":null,"story_callouts":null,"media":null,"featured_blog_post":null,"featured_event":null,"pdf_download":null,"blockquote":null,"author":null,"notice":null,"social_embed":null,"contact_card":null,"meta_details":null,"faq":null,"table":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mayor Garcetti joins GLA as it makes its LA 500 Pledge!
