Richmond Locks In Solar Savings | Richmond News

Richmond is set to install solar panels on 40 city-owned buildings — no upfront cost to taxpayers — thanks to a 25-year deal with Secure Solar Futures. The city will pay only for the energy used at a fixed rate, shielding budgets from rising electricity prices. Buildings like police stations and libraries were chosen based on sun exposure and age. This move supports Richmond’s goal of zero carbon emissions by 2050, following a successful solar deal already in place for public schools that’s saved over $1 million. City Council votes in September, with installations possibly starting as early as 2027. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
