- Document Description
- ZNE Alliance will 1) Implement a Distributed Energy Resource (DER) Community program that optimizes economic and resilience value at the community and grid level, while directing new revenues and societal benefits to low-income residents in Richmond and 2) Implement a grid-integrated Zero Net Carbon Ready (ZNCR) Homes Program which rehabilitates blighted homes to ZNCR status and enables their re-sale as affordable infill properties to low-to-middle income residents using capital provided by Social Impact Bonds. The scale-up of these strategies to other California communities will be supported by development of an AEC Resource Center and the prepartation of the AEC Solutions Toolkit.
