Perch Energy

As COP29 conversations hone in on worldwide fossil fuel transition efforts, community solar should be top of mind as a practical and equitable way to overcome the obstacles traditional rooftop solar is bound by. Following his conversation with our President & CEO Bruce Stewart, TriplePundit Reporter Gladstone Taylor shares examples and insights from Perch as to the massive impact community solar can have, and is already delivering on, for the renewable transition and the households that can't afford the installation of their own panels. #communitysolar #renewables #solar #COP29 #cleanenergy #climate #energysavings #energy

Our President and CEO Bruce Stewart recently had the chance to discuss the state of community solar and the future of energy equity with Wes Ashworth ⚡️🎙️of the Green Giants: Titans of Renewable Energy Podcast. Tune in to the episode to learn about how we're working to bring community solar to low-income households, educating customers about how it works, and how we're doing it better every day. https://lnkd.in/eHYN8q8V #communitysolar #renewables #climate #solar #GreenGiantsPodcast #environment #cleanenergy

We’re ready to talk all things community solar—so we’re excited to kick off the US DG Development & Finance Forum hosted by NPM US (New Project Media) with a fireside chat between our President and CEO Bruce Stewart and NPM Managing Editor Jonathan Berke Thursday morning at 8:55am. Bruce and Jonathan will be talking about what is driving the expansion of community solar markets, how legacy markets are tuning up their programs, and how we stay on top of it all in a dynamic and changing industry. #DGNYC24 #communitysolar #renewables #NYC #climate

Our partnership with Nuveen, a TIAA company is more than an investment, it’s an opportunity to bring the benefits of community solar to the households who need it most. It supports our mission of making renewable energy—and lower electricity bills—accessible to all. By bringing community solar to affordable housing residents in New York City with Nuveen, we were able to make good on that mission. And New York is just the beginning! We’re always excited to find new ways to make sure the energy system of the future is benefiting people today. #communitysolar #renewables #equitableenergy #climate #solar #NYC

States that invest in community solar are investing in a more equitable energy system—just ask New Mexico. The New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (PRC) just announced it is raising it's annual capacity cap to 300 MW. And, the PRC announced a new rule allowing for self-attestation for low-income subscribers, which is a critical program feature that makes community solar more accessible to the households that stand most to gain. So, not only will New Mexico add enough clean energy to the grid to power the equivalent of 57,000 homes, but it will also make it easier for more people to see the benefit of the state's energy transition directly—as a lower electricity bill. #communitysolar #cleanenergy #solar #renewables #energyequity #climate #NewMexico

Many people think if they rent their home they can't access the benefits of solar power. In this article for Forbes by Terri Williams, our President & CEO Bruce Stewart addresses this misconception by educating readers on community solar; one of the easiest ways anyone can support the clean energy transition and receive utility bill discounts for supporting the cause.

Perch Energy CEO Bruce Stewart spoke with Reporter Elena Casas-Montanez at Reuters about community solar as an emerging contender in the clean energy transition. Community solar is a more accessible form of renewable power that allows more people participate in the switch to renewable energy and receive a reduction in their electricity bills. In 2023, community solar accounted for 7.3 GW of power generation across the country, with a goal of 30 GW online by 2030. With a vast majority of new electricity generation today originating from renewable sources, state programs and developers have been getting creative with where we put panels, whether they're co-located with working farms, on large rooftops, or over brownfield sites. Wherever these solar farms are, they're an important part of addressing climate change through the ramp up in renewable energy production—and they're doing it in a more equitable way. #communitysolar #renewables #climate #solar #sustainability #cleanenergy #energyequity
