Viewing Grant Proposal: North End Woodward Community Coalition_Community Solar Trust
NEWCC’s project establishes a Community Solar Trust in Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park through a 500 kWh solar system divided among four partner locations. These hubs will purchase solar-generated electricity from NEWCC at a 10% discount off the conventional rate, with revenue from electricity sales reinvested in the community households under 80% AMI with subscribers receiving monthly checks to cover 50% of their electricity bills. This project increases the solar energy infrastructure while lowering the electricity cost burden for multiple stakeholder groups.

NEWCC is a respected name in community advocacy for Detroit. The proposed project is designed to truly benefit community by reducing pollution and energy burden. The innovative application of a land trust model to a solar project can be replicated to benefit other communities as well. Funding this project will give clean energy access to individual households in Detroit, and it will help the State achieve its climate goals.
