BOSTON - eTradeWire -- The Boston Community Solar Cooperative (BCSC) is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded a $75,000 grant from the Solstice Community Benefit Fund. This generous grant will support BCSC's mission to bring clean, affordable, and community-owned solar energy to Boston's low-income and historically disadvantaged neighborhoods.

The grant will be used to expand BCSC's innovative community solar projects, which aim to reduce carbon emissions and promote energy equity. By placing solar panels on rooftops and other suitable locations, BCSC enables residents to benefit from solar energy without the need for individual installations. This model not only provides environmental benefits, but also helps bridge the wealth gap by allowing community members to own the solar arrays that generate their power.

The Boston Community Solar Cooperative believes in a future powered by the sun and owned by the community. Solar energy is inexhaustible, available worldwide, and has economic value. No one owns the sun, and everyone is entitled to a share. Our projects are focused on addressing the significant disparity in access to clean electricity in low- and moderate-income communities in Boston. In the last 15 years the Commonwealth has deployed 14.5 gigawatts of solar, but less than 2% is serving a low-income rate payer. BCSC seeks to change that dynamic by enabling communities to own the new solar arrays we need to decarbonize buildings, transportation and power generation. We aspire to rewrite Boston's legacy of racial injustice and deliver the environmental and economic benefits of solar energy to Boston neighborhoods.
