In Vermont,
. . . 1/5th of residents experience fuel poverty, meaning they spend more than
. . . 10% of their income on energy.

The solar garden will provide
. . . 50 low-income households with around
. . . $400 worth of electricity annually through what’s known as
. . . virtual net metering.
The solar project costs,
. . . $300,000, and it is expected to generate about
. . . $23,000 worth of electricity per year over the estimated
. . . 25-year lifespan of the panels.

Community solar projects, like this,
. . . are more easily integrated into the energy assistance program,
. . . because they are not fixed to a particular house.
