Project Summary
The proposal herein submitted by EcoReach Community Coalition seeks to leverage solar technologies in under-resourced communities which have been underserved and overlooked in prior green energy initiatives. The goal of this project is to catalyse transformation of localised clean energy ecosystems by deployment of rooftop solar panels and to facilitate workshops that teaches residents about energy usage and resilience strategies.
This proposal outlines actionable initiatives that aligns with MassCEC strategic vision and simultaneously helps fulfil sustainability targets. The collaboration between EcoReach, local partners and relevant stakeholders is indicative of a strong operational model that are based on shared accountability.
Our approach will serve as a demonstration framework that can be replicated across regions. Key outcomes includes reduced energy burden for residents, increase in solar literacy, and local job creation via partnerships with training organisations. This initiative aligns with the goals of the 2023-25 Clean Communities Initiative which aims to uplift and empower disadvantaged zones. It is to be emphasised that community engagement is prioritised throughout.
