Viewing Grant Proposal: Boys & Girls Club of Grand Rapids Youth Commonwealth_Steil Club Electrification and Microgrid

This grant will provide the BGC the opportunity to install an electrification infrastructure and a microgrid to protect hundreds of children in Grand Rapids' Disadvantaged Communities. The project would use grant funding to transition to run on 100% electricity on a day-to-day basis at the Steil Club ("Club"), one of 3 BGCs in Grand Rapids. Energy efficiency improvements would be made, such as upgrading to LED lighting and building envelope improvements. The mechanical heating system would be upgraded, and natural gas rooftop units and furnaces replaced with electric heat pumps. In order to serve as a resilient Hub, a microgrid would be installed, allowing the Club to run 100% on renewable energy and not be prone to grid outages. The Club would be a safe destination for kids even during grid outages.
