Power Up South LA
Power Up South LA is an initiative led by Redeemer Community Partnership in collaboration with the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation to advance public health through home and community electrification in South Los Angeles.
Electrifying our homes means converting any gas system and appliance to electric so that our homes run on electricity rather than methane gas (also known as natural gas). Since gas pollutes our air and harms our health, Power Up South LA equips community members with the tools and information needed to go electric.
