The Washington State Dept. of Commerce is currently offering technical assistance opportunities through the Solar plus Storage for Resilient Communities program at no cost to a limited number of communities through the Solar plus Storage for Resilient Communities program. This assistance will position communities to apply for future funding through Commerce’s Solar plus Storage for Resilient Communities grant program. Commerce will prioritize requests from rural, tribal, and other communities most vulnerable to the impacts from power outages and emergencies.

There are two providers, Cascadia Renewables, Sazan Group, and an internal Commerce Energy Resilience specialist who will provide site-specific feasibility studies at no cost to a limited number of communities. Commerce anticipates announcing successful awardees to the Solar plus Storage for Resilient Communities program in mid-June. Interested communities are asked to fill out this Smartsheet Technical Assistance Request form.
