Community Resilience Hubs

Strengthening Community Resilience

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Groundswell’s Community Resilience Hubs equip local communities with solar energy and backup energy storage, ensuring critical services—such as powering medical devices, enabling emergency communications, and phone charging—remain readily available during power outages. In addition to supporting immediate emergency response, community resilience hubs provide lasting value to site hosts by delivering electricity bill savings through on-site energy generation, helping to fund job training, food distribution, youth programs, and more. Each hub is co-designed with the community through a deep engagement process that ensures alignment with existing priorities, encourages community ownership, and leverages data to improve energy resilience.

BUILDING COMMUNITY POWER, TODAY & TOMORROW

HOW IT WORKS

Groundswell partners with communities to create resilience hubs with solar and storage systems, helping low-income and minority areas and providing reliable power during outages.
