There has never been a more exciting time to invest in
communities by building affordable, clean energy. With help from federal and state governments,
people across the country are transforming our electricity system so it’s more reliable,
more affordable, better for our communities, and better for the planet.
The Community Power Accelerator is a new initiative powered by the U.S.
Department of Energy that helps bridge the gap between community solar projects
that need funding—and the investors, lenders, and philanthropists who want to finance them.
This is where developers, investors, philanthropists, and community-based organizations
come together to deploy solar projects across the country that empower communities.
Here’s how it works… If you’re a developer
or work at a community-based organization, you can join the Community Power Accelerator
and post a solar project you’re working on. The Accelerator offers free training and technical
assistance, to develop projects that provide real benefits -- Like expanding solar access to low-
and moderate-income households, electricity bill savings, strengthening the electrical
grid by adding local energy storage, community ownership, and job creation in your community.
For investors, lenders, and philanthropists who want to support clean energy, joining the
Community Power Accelerator helps you connect with developers that are delivering real benefits in
communities. Projects listed on the accelerator are verified and credit-ready—and have access to
support and training from solar experts at the U.S. Department of Energy and our partners."
