ABOUT GC GREEN

Built by the people we serve.

Veteran-led. Tribally-rooted. State and Federal certified. We deliver clean energy projects from the inside of the communities and agencies we work with — not from the outside looking in.

ABOUT GC GREEN

Seventeen years. State, Federal, and Tribal.

GC Green Incorporated was founded to do clean energy work the way it should be done in California — with technical rigor, agency-savvy delivery, and direct accountability to the communities the work serves.

For nearly two decades, we’ve worked alongside California state agencies (CEC, CPUC, CARB), federal partners (VA, DoD), tribal nations, school districts, ports, and Fortune 500 facilities. Every project sits inside our five capability areas — construction, consulting, community engagement, program implementation, and fleet solutions — and every project ships under our certifications as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Native American Woman-Owned small business.

We’re not a generalist consulting firm. We’re a delivery team built for the procurement systems we work inside.
