Lexington, Ky., created a sustainability plan in 2012 and recently updated it with the city’s new sustainability program. At a conference, working with Solarize programs was mentioned, and it was thought to be a good fit as part of the Empower Lexington sustainability plan. The goal of Solarize is to help initiate solar sustainability programs throughout the state of Kentucky. When Jada Griggs, sustainability senior program manager, started in her position, the first step was updating the city’s sustainability plan. After that, she was ready to kick off the new solar plan.
With the Solarize program, interested residents fill out a form and the home undergoes an assessment to see if it is a good match for solar.
