Oregon Community Solar Program

Project Information:

Jim and Salle's Place Apartments

Project partners have scoped and organized funding to support 48.3 kW of community solar capacity on the Jim and Salle’s Place Apartments. The project will be one of the first of its kind to utilize US Department of Energy Weatherization Assistance Program funding for a shared solar project. The onsite community solar project will be able to utilize the state community solar program to provide bill credits directly to the tenants, reducing their annual electricity expenses by up to $220/year. The Jim and Salle’s Place Apartments offer affordable housing for low-income residents of southeast Portland. Residents of the apartment complex will be able to subscribe to the community solar project and will receive monthly bill credits.

Customers may only participate in a project that is located in their utility's service area.
