???? The Our Sun. Our Power. Wisconsin Coalition hit the road last week on an exciting bus tour across the state! They're rallying support to change Wisconsin’s laws and make privately developed #CommunitySolar accessible for all. Currently, state law doesn’t allow electric customers to subscribe to community solar and receive credits on their utility bills for the power generated. Their goal? To empower Wisconsin residents with the choice to harness clean energy from locally developed community solar projects. Thanks to everyone who joined the road show to advocate for change! When we act together, we're moving closer to a future where everyone can benefit from renewable energy.
