Cooperative Community Driven
Community Solar
In September 2024, Accelerate Climate Solutions began work on a community driven, community solar project with the Green Energy Justice Cooperative (GEJC), an outgrown of Blacks In Green (BIG). This project will bring clean, affordable solar energy to low and moderate income residents of Naperville and Winfield Townships.
​
We've seen the power of this model in uniting communities around a clean energy future that works for renters and low-income households and makes sure local residents own and get the benefits too. -Cooperative Energy Futures General Manager Timothy DenHerder-Thomas

Solar will be installed on two warehouses in Aurora, IL, and will provide low-cost electricity to approximately 800 households.
