📰 News we're reading

• Solar Program Designed to Help Low-Income and Environmental Justice Zone Residents Instead Leaves them Stranded (ecori.org) — Low-income homeowners in parts of Woonsocket were eligible for a state-backed solar program that promised lower electric bills, but the vendor running it has since gone bankrupt, leaving participants in limbo. State officials have paused new applications, are meeting with the company, and say remaining funds could support a future low-income solar effort, though next steps are still unclear.
