In January, the Department of Energy (DOE) announced it launched the Clean Energy to Communities program, which will provide up to $50 million dollars to support a range of communities and their clean energy development needs.
, which will provide up to $50 million to support a range of communities and their clean energy development needs. Small communities might ‘’fall through cracks” when it comes to clean energy implementation. The new DOE program was created to help them.
C2C fosters community-led innovation with tailored support, from goal-setting and project development to technology deployment. C2C is managed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory , with additional support from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
For Cohoes, NY, what did the Clean Energy to Communities program do to help the town determine that floating solar power is appropriate for its reservoir? Do you know the size of the floating solar power system and when it will be installed? “The idea is if we own and operate the floating solar, then we will be generating all the electricity that we need for our municipal buildings,” explained Bourgeois. “There will be up to 40% capacity generated remaining to make sure that that the community gets the broadest benefit for that. We’re working with our school district and we’re working with our housing authority to have them share in that.
