Low-income residents buy into solar project at Minneapolis school
“Jamez Staples is CEO of Renewable Energy Partners, a solar developer in North Minneapolis. He grew up in the area and graduated from North High. And he’s passionate about increasing access to solar in his community. His company helped develop the North High Community solar garden, which is going live this summer. A portion of the energy it generates will go to the school. The city will purchase another portion, and the rest will be available for residential subscribers.”
