Bill > HB05921

This bill aims to advance solar energy adoption and support for low-income and underserved communities in Connecticut through multiple strategies. Specifically, the bill seeks to expand funding for the Connecticut Green Bank (a state-sponsored green energy financing organization), create income-based incentives for solar photovoltaic (PV) system installations in low and moderate-income households, offer tax credits for solar PV installations in economically distressed and environmental justice communities, support community solar programs, ensure fair net metering benefits for electric customers, incentivize solar workforce development, improve electric distribution infrastructure in underserved areas, and provide targeted incentives to increase solar PV system adoption in communities with historically limited access to clean energy technologies. The bill represents a comprehensive approach to promoting renewable energy access, economic equity, and grid modernization by addressing financial, infrastructural, and social barriers to solar energy deployment across diverse Connecticut communities.
