Solar on Public Buildings program expanding to non-Xcel territory!
The first three rounds of the MN Department of Commerce’s Solar on Public Buildings grant program were only available to public buildings located within Xcel territory. Now, $15 million in grant funding is available to install solar arrays sized up to 40kW on public buildings in any utility territory around the state! Combined with federal elective pay, up to 100% of the cost of a system can be covered.
Construction must commence by December 31, 2025. To help facilitate applicants in meeting this deadline, the application timeline will be abridged, compared to previous rounds.
To get started, schedule a free consultation with CERTs for unbiased advice and technical assistance. If you're located within the 11-county metro region, please contact Aaron Backs, [email protected]. For entities located outside the 11-county metro, contact Peter Lindstrom, [email protected].
Register for the public webinar to be held on Thursday, July 31 at 1:30 p.m. to learn more about the program.
The RFP for this opportunity will be added to the MN Department of Commerce RFP page by early August.
