KPUB is leading a team that submitted an application for the Department of Energy’s Solar in Your Community Challenge (SIYCC) today. Through a novel approach partnering with local non-profits, KPUB proposes to utilize various sites throughout its service territory to build one or more community solar projects. Distributing the output from these solar arrays to the non-profits and to the Low and Moderate Income households is in keeping with KPUB’S mission to be a “provider of reliable, high-quality utility services at the lowest reasonable price” to 22,500 customers in Kerrville, TX and the surrounding communities. By allowing LMI and community non-profits to pursue solar through a virtual net metering program, KPUB’s team can support their community and their customers by helping them reduce their monthly electric bills while promoting green energy in, and around, Kerrville, TX.
