• Solar Program Designed to Help Low-Income and Environmental Justice Zone Residents Instead Leaves them Stranded (progressive-charlestown.com) — Middletown homeowners in designated environmental justice or low-income areas were eligible for a state-backed solar program that’s now in limbo after its Louisiana contractor, PosiGen, filed for bankruptcy. The initiative had promised lower electric bills and free energy audits, but applications are paused and state officials haven’t said how they’ll protect enrolled Rhode Islanders or restart the program. Residents affected are urged to contact the reporter.
