PUEBLO, Colorado — Today, US Solar announced the groundbreaking of USS Giveback, its first Community Solar Gardens with Black Hills Energy in Pueblo, Colorado. With enough capacity to power over 600 Colorado homes annually, the 2MW and 500 kW Solar Gardens will serve businesses, residents, municipalities and low to moderate income service organizations in the greater Colorado area.
“We call these projects USS Giveback because that is our goal. We are committed to giving back to the communities that host our Solar Gardens by providing widespread benefits, like these donations, savings on energy bills, and bringing more clean energy online to the local grid,” said Reed Richerson, COO of US Solar. “Our largest donation to date will go to ten different organizations that are serving Pueblo and greater Colorado communities.
“As a recent solar customer, I am now seeing the benefits of adding solar power in our community. What’s even more exciting is the benefit for the families we work with,” said Zane Grant, Executive Director of Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children . CASA of Pueblo is one of US Solar’s donation recipients.
Community Solar Gardens provide holistic benefits to the environment and community. US Solar has been a leader in adopting region-specific native deep-rooted prairie and pollinator habitat that restores and improves soil health, while increasing the air quality in the surrounding community. US Solar strives to work with local vendors and partners, bringing economic benefit to the community on top of direct financial benefit to subscribers.
US Solar is developing 14 Community Solar Gardens in Colorado and currently subscribing its Community Solar Gardens for Colorado Xcel Energy and Black Hills Energy customers. US Solar has worked with over 100 municipal and commercial customers, and nearly 3,000 residential customers. Businesses, residents, and affordable housing providers can sign up for a Sunscription at us-solar.com.
