Putting the Community in Community Solar

As our communities seek to address rising monthly utility bills and the effects of climate change, NNJCF is pleased to bring you this webinar discussion on community solar. The NJ Board of Public Utilities introduced its New Jersey Community Solar Energy Program (CSEP) in 2018 to make solar savings available to renters and homeowners without upfront costs or expensive solar panels.

Join us for a conversation about the opportunities community solar can provide for municipalities, community-based organizations, and individual NJ households.  NNJCF partners Greater Bergen Community Action Inc. and Dimension Energy – one of the state’s most active community solar developers, owners, and operators – will discuss what community solar is and detail their partnership to enroll thousands of GBCA’s clients in the monthly savings provided by Dimension’s projects.

To date, Dimension has energized three community solar projects in NNJCF’s service counties that now serve almost 1,200 households – over 51% of which are low-to-moderate income. Around 2,600 more households in NNJCF’s service counties will be able to access the benefits of community solar through eight more Dimension community solar projects that will come online in 2025-2026. We hope you will join us to learn more about how you might help expand access to these community solar savings and job opportunities.
