The Solar plus Storage for Resilient Communities program funds solar and battery back-up power so community buildings can provide essential services when the power goes out. Grants support installation as well as planning work for solar plus storage systems at community buildings, including schools, community centers, libraries, and other buildings owned by local, state, tribal governments and non-profits in Washington. Technical assistance opportunities help communities prepare to apply for future grant funding opportunities.
This program is now included in the Clean Energy Grant Programs funding opportunities available for tribes, Community Decarbonization Grants, and a general solicitation for clean energy projects. The three solicitations will be the primary opportunity to apply for these funds in the 2023-2025 biennium.
