Climate & Community 5/16/24: Solar For All Funding Invests in Equity for Maine’s Energy Transition

Host: Brianna Cunliffe

Description: Climate & Community covers the $62 million award received last month by the Maine Governor’s Energy Office as part of the Solar For All program, and the programs it will fund to support deployment of solar and energy storage to benefit low-income and disadvantaged communities, equitably driving more deployment of climate solutions that prioritize Maine’s most vulnerable.
