This webinar will feature presentations by Daniel White from the DC Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE), Rashad Williams from Groundswell, and Pamela Nelson from the DC Office of the People’s Counsel (OPC). DOEE manages and administers the Solar for All program, as well as having primary responsibility for outreach, education, and recruiting subscribers into the program. Groundswell was the subscription manager for the program. OPC had an important role in the program, including helping with outreach, education, receiving customer complaints, and more.
This case study and webinar were developed as part of CESA’s Solar with Justice: Connecting States and Communities project. The Solar with Justice project aims to bring together state energy agencies (SEAs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) developing solar for environmental justice communities to create opportunities for dialogue and collaboration. This case study is one of six case studies published by CESA under the Solar with Justice project, highlighting models of collaboration between CBOs and SEAs on solar for environmental justice communities.
This case study is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Solar Energy Technologies Office Award Number DE-EE0009360.
