The Issue

Project Innovation

The purpose of this agreement is to fund an all-electric, mixed-use development. The community is designed to
address the current challenges of lengthy interconnection timelines that can delay construction and renewable energy
and distributed generation to the grid by developing a community that does not export power back to the grid, but also
leverages the grid at times where the community's distributed generation (solar, storage, and electric vehicles) cannot
support the necessary energy needed for the community. This community is designed as a limited-carbon and climate
resilient community focused on positive, equitable outcomes for low-income residents.
