Appalachian Voices are speaking out about solar energy
From Appalachian Voices in Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia & West Virginia
Dear Colleagues and Friends, Join Us on November 4th ~
Thank you for signing up to learn more about the Appalachian Solar Finance Fund (SFF), a new program to jump-start commercial and institutional solar projects in coal-impacted communities throughout Central Appalachia! We’re excited to announce that the program will launch on Thursday, November 4 with a webinar at noon Eastern Time and invite you to join! Please RSVP to attend.
The SFF will use a recent $1.5 million ARC POWER Initiative award to deploy select subgrant awards for solar projects on nonprofit and public buildings. The SFF also will facilitate competitive technical assistance contracts for solar installations on commercial enterprises and will develop additional investment and credit enhancement strategies to unlock more solar deployment in the region.
During this webinar, attendees will learn about the program’s available financing tools, applicant eligibility criteria and the application process for entities and developers seeking funding for solar projects. Members of the SFF Executive Committee will discuss the history of the fund, its purpose and goals, and the structure of the program.
Speakers include the following four (4) involved individuals:
>> Adam Wells, Regional Director of Community & Economic Development, Appalachian Voices
>> Hannah Vargason, Associate Director of Strategic Initiatives, Partner Community Capital
>> Marc Palmer, Co-Founder and CEO, New Resource Solutions
>> Andrew Crosson, CEO, Invest Appalachia
The presentation will be followed by a Q&A. Commercial, government and nonprofit building owners and facilities managers, and solar developers and installation professionals are encouraged to attend and bring questions about the process. The public is also welcome to attend to learn more about the program and how it works.
RSVP to join us on November 4th! I’m looking forward to seeing you there!
Cheers, Autumn Long
Appalachian Solar Finance Fund Project Manager
