#ThrowbackThursday: This Thursday, we're revisiting a blog titled “Solar Farm Proposed in Tallahassee” by Logan Shewmaker. This blog was originally published on June 2, 2015. This blog reports on the proposal for the creation of a solar farm in Tallahassee. There are a lot of benefits to having a solar farm, however, it does come at a high cost. The project would be able to produce 10 megawatts, which is 1% of the energy Tallahassee uses. City officials are hoping that a federal tax credit will persuade third-party companies to join the project. Solar power prices have gone down, but it is still significantly more expensive to utilize it over natural gas. It may take years for solar farms to be affordable for a city like Tallahassee.

REAP grants by USDA make solar energy more accessible for rural small businesses, covering up to 25% of project costs. Check out this week's #TuesdaysWithToddTemple article to learn more! #PoweringTheFuture #REAPgrant #RuralBusiness #AgricultureSolar https://ow.ly/9TJs50SNiIY

The $7 billion Solar for All (SFA) program under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) is a critical program offering affordable housing owners the opportunity to reduce energy costs to residents, create jobs, enhance communities, and educate underserved communities on the benefits of renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainability practices. While the program offers critical benefits, for affordable housing entities the requirements and guidelines can be complex. On today's blog article, we share a helpful article link in understanding the program and how our community partner, Fleet Development, LLC, can help navigate those challenges.

Closed landfills are emerging as a game-changing solution to land shortages for renewable energy projects. With over 10,000 closed landfills in the U.S., these underutilized sites present a unique opportunity to expand solar capacity without taking up valuable agricultural or residential land. ⚡️ Countries like the U.S., France, and the U.K. are investing heavily in these "brightfield" projects. In the U.S. alone, solar developments on landfills have increased by 80% in the last five years. New Jersey’s 25.6 MW Mount Olive project is a leading example, demonstrating how landfill solar farms can generate affordable energy, create local jobs, and boost tax revenue for communities.
