In the heart of Connecticut, a groundbreaking initiative is lighting up schools and cities with small-scale solar power. The Connecticut Green Bank, the first of its kind in the U.S., is blazing a trail as a "public developer" by not just funding but actively developing and owning solar projects. This innovative program, Solar MAP+, has already pumped $145 million into solar, saving communities a projected $57 million in energy costs. "We built this Swiss Army knife of tools," boasts Mackey Dykes, of the Connecticut Green Bank. This model is turning heads, proving you can power up communities even as federal support dwindles. Jamie Cosgrove from Branford praises the program, noting, "We're looking to advance our clean energy goals." With schools across Connecticut shining bright with solar, could this be the blueprint for a sun-powered future?
