Member Spotlight of the Week!

COLDWATER SOLAR

Apex Clean Energy and esaSolar are working together to develop Coldwater Solar, a 150 MW solar energy facility that is expected to generate enough homegrown Michigan clean energy to power up to 27,000 homes per year.

Situated in Coldwater and Ovid Townships in rural Branch County on remote private land with access to existing transmission lines, the location is highly suitable for a solar energy project.

A CLEAN ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY 

Coldwater Solar offers a new source of economic development for the community, with long-term local tax revenue for schools, government services, and public infrastructure. The power from Coldwater Solar will be delivered into the local Michigan electrical grid, helping to diversify the state's energy portfolio.

Solar power is one of the most cost-effective sources of electricity available today, and its ability to generate power at peak times helps reduce electricity costs for all consumers.

In addition to the jobs created during both the construction and operation of Coldwater Solar, Coldwater Solar will create opportunities for companies seeking to open new locations in areas with access to renewable power to expand into Branch County.

Learn more about the project at https://www.coldwatersolar.com

Community Grant Program
Last month Community Solar launched its Community Grant Program to help make an impact for the Greater Coldwater community by supporting organizations working to build healthy communities, promote education, advance economic development and foster environmental sustainability.

The application deadline for the program’s first grant cycle is fast approaching on February 28. Ensure your organization is considered by applying at www.coldwatersolar.com/grant

Grants will be awarded continually through the year on a quarterly basis with up to $4,000 being available per quarter.

If you have questions about the program or need help submitting your application, contact Colin Kummerfeldt at colin.kummerfeldt@apexcleanenergy.com or by calling (517) 468-6830.
