Spark Northwest accelerates the shift to clean energy one community at a time. Our programs make affordable, locally-controlled clean energy more accessible for all.

Solar Plus

Spark Northwest is proud to have partnered on the Solar Plus initiative, a 2017-2020 project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy through the Washington State Department of Commerce. Solar Plus worked to equitably expand the benefits of solar energy to include renters, households with low incomes, and communities of color. Bringing together over 40 stakeholders, the initiative succeeded in spurring and documenting a variety of research, education, and demonstration projects across Oregon and Washington with lessons for community solar, community resilience, and low income solar pathways.
