Community Energy
NEWCC’s Solar Neighbors initiative is working to make clean, resilient energy more accessible to communities that have historically faced high energy costs and barriers to solar.
Through our Community Energy Alliance, we are developing community-centered approaches to solar, battery storage, and energy resilience that prioritize local benefit, community ownership, and long-term affordability.
Our vision goes beyond installing solar. We are building a community energy network that strengthens trusted neighborhood institutions, reduces energy burdens, and helps communities have a greater voice—and stake—in their energy future.
