Join Groundswell Senior Vice President of Finance and Fund Development Kristal Virgil for a conversation about how new grant funding will impact the southeast at RE+ Mid-Atlantic. Kristal will speak on the panel "Solar for All in the Mid-Atlantic: Discussing the Potential Impact of the $7 Billion Grant Competition in the Region" alongside Meghan Jennings (Rappahannock Electric Cooperative), Maryrose Myrtetus (Philadelphia Green Capital Corp), and Chris Walker (GRID Alternatives) with Abigail Ross Hopper (Solar Energy Industries Association) moderating.
On April 22nd, the Biden-Harris administration announced the 60 awardees for the $7 billion ‘Solar for All’ (SFA) grants. This historic funding will flow to governments and other entities to provide the essential resources needed to deploy solar & related technologies to low-income communities across the United States. Join us for an opening session where SFA grant awardees that will play a role in the Mid-Atlantic region will discuss how their prospective programs will benefit underserved populations and how they are planning to implement these programs over the coming months and years.
At RE+ Mid-Atlantic regional community energy thought leaders will take part in sessions on current trends and policies. For those interested in community solar, this expanded event will provide a holistic approach to the topic. Community energy is produced by and for local-level communities, leveraging clean energy resources like solar, storage, and microgrids. It is one of the fastest growing sectors in the clean energy economy.
