How CEG and CT Green Bank are Helping Connecticut Affordable Housing Facilities Install Resilient Solar+Storage

Connecticut’s new Energy Storage Solutions program combines equipment rebates with performance payments to support and encourage new behind-the-meter battery storage installations, with additional incentives for participants from historically underserved communities. In order to support resilient solar+storage installations in multifamily affordable housing facilities – among the most challenging sectors for clean energy development – Connecticut Green Bank has partnered with Clean Energy Group to offer project-specific technical assistance grants for pre-development feasibility studies.

This webinar showed examples of the kind of technical assistance developers and facility managers can qualify for, and explained the process to apply. A guest speaker from American Microgrid Solutions, a partner of Clean Energy Group’s Technical Assistance Fund, spoke to their experience providing resilient power assessments and project development support for community partners, including affordable housing providers.

Presenters include:

• Todd Olinsky-Paul, Clean Energy Group
• Bryan Garcia, CT Green Bank
• Marriele Mango, Clean Energy Group
• Geoff Oxnam, American Microgrid Solutions
• Bert Hunter, CT Green Bank

This webinar is the third in a three-part webinar series on Connecticut’s energy storage program.
