1-31-2019

BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Solar panels are on their way to low-income housing in Bellingham.

The Opportunity Council is one of three organizations in Washington to receive nearly half a million dollars from Puget Sound Energy to install solar panels on low-income multi-family housing facilities.

The grants are part of PSE’s Green Power program with additional funding from the energy program at Washington State University.

Funding will go towards installing solar panels at their G Street Apartment Building and the Opportunity Council expects them to produce enough energy to power the entire four-plex over the course of one year.
