ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) – The City of St. Louis was awarded a Solar For All federal grant.
Monday, it was announced that the City was part of two coalition groups, the Missouri Environmental Improvement and Energy Resources Authority and the Industrial Heartland Solar Coalition, among 60 selectees that will receive a total of $7 billion in awards through the grant competition. The grants are part of an effort to deliver residential solar projects to over 900,000 households nationwide.
“We are paying attention to the realities of climate change, and St. Louis City is at the forefront of the fight for our future,” said Mayor Tishaura O. Jones. “In our applications, we proposed expanding our Healthy Homes Program to include solar panels as an efficiency upgrade and asked the state to start a low-interest loan program for solar and storage. Sustainability issues are intersectional, affecting public health outcomes and quality of life every day. I’m proud that St. Louis is helping to build a more sustainable and resilient future for our city’s residents.”
The total allocation for St. Louis has not yet been determined.
