What if you could share a solar farm with others in the community to get affordable power when you need it? Bruce Stewart is President and CEO of Perch Energy, a Boston-based clean energy technology and services company focused on accelerating access to community solar. Bruce has decades of experience leading both energy and technology companies, and he is committed to Perch's mission of making cleaner energy options more accessible for all. To date, Perch has enabled more than 6,300 community solar subscriptions for homes, businesses and municipalities, providing more than $9.7M in customer savings. On this episode of Clean Power Hour, Bruce joins Tim to explain how community solar leverages the shared economy to help more people be carbon neutral, providing equitable availability of clean energy sources in low- and middle-income neighborhoods. Bruce discusses what we can do to facilitate the exponential growth of community solar, describing how he thinks about using incentives to make the transition to clean energy faster. Listen in to understand how Perch serves its asset owner partners in subscribing customers and learn how community solar helps consumers act on their values to choose clean energy solutions.Key TakeawaysBruce's background as an energy executive bringing choice to consumersWhy the opportunity to make clean energy solutions more accessible attracted Bruce to Perch Perch's presence in markets where community solar is enabled or emergingPerch's commitment to providing equitable availability of clean energy sources in low- and middle-income neighborhoodsThe benefits of community solar in terms of energy cost savings and economic improvement How community solar leverages the shared economy to help more people be carbon neutralWhat we can do to facilitate the exponential growth of community solarHow Bruce thinks about using incentives to m Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email [email protected] Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.
