Keeping downtown beautiful
Those who are eagerly awaiting the day Santa Clara County announces that barber shops, salons and spas are allowed to reopen might want to vie for one of the prizes in this month’s Survival Project contest to help downtown Campbell businesses.
The beauty-themed prizes include three hours of free electrolysis permanent hair removal from All Bodies Welcome Hair Removal and four $50 gift cards for services at Ritual Day Spa.
To enter take a selfie with a face mask on in downtown Campbell, post it to Instagram or Twitter and tag @downtowncampbellca or @DowntwnCampbell, respectively. Selfies can also be hashtagged #VivaDTC.
Daily entries will be accepted, but the photos must have been taken on different days and demonstrate proper wearing of a face mask or covering. Winners will be chosen in a drawing at the end of the month.
Clean energy milestone
With the approval of a contract with 8minute Solar Energy in June, Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) has more than $1 billion committed to building and operating renewable energy generation plants for residents and businesses in Santa Clara County.
The Sunnyvale-based agency now has seven contracts totaling $1.134 billion for renewable energy facilities with 384 MW of generating capacity, enough to serve 37 percent of SVCE’s retail energy sales annually.
The seven contracts are due to come online between 2021 and 2023, and range in length from 10 to 20 years. The approved contracts include geothermal and solar-plus-storage generation facilities.
SVCE serves more than 270,000 residential and commercial customers in Santa Clara County, including Campbell. For more information, visit SVCleanEnergy.org.
