Our dream is reliable, affordable energy for all.
- Devastating electrical outages are commonplace throughout the US following the ever increasing number of severe storms, hurricanes, wildfires, and other disasters.
- Chronically underfunded and aging utility grids lead to regular "brown outs."
- Without electricity, critical community services can't be provided. Vital community health facilities are unable to serve their patients - life-saving refrigerated medicines go bad, electronic health records are inaccessible, and essential medical equipment becomes useless. When the power is out, health centers have to shut their doors.
- Lack of reliable power has direct health consequences for all individuals, families, and communities but is especially problematic for those seeking immediate or requiring ongoing medical care.
+ By providing energy efficiency audits, educating health centers about their energy options, supporting energy workforce development, designing bespoke power solutions based on site-specific needs, offering low-cost funding only available to non-profit heath centers, and installing solar + storage systems with trusted partners to increase quality and project efficiency, we can ensure critical facilities have the power to operate during grid outages.
+ Not only does this enable health care during natural disasters and planned outages, but solar + storage also reduces our reliance on the grid and generators, which often fail and require constant fuel that can be hard to source in times of disaster.
+ Solar + storage also prevents outage-caused financial loss for health centers and often drastically reduces their energy costs long term, allowing them to allocate the savings to serving their patients and communities.
Collective Energy provides tailored information about solar + storage microgrids and how they can provide benefits to facilities and communities. We are also a resource for foundations and investors looking to make a positive impact.
Collective Energy designs custom solar + storage solutions that cater to health center needs. We usher each center through the installation, permitting, and commissioning process using pre-approved partners to assure a smooth project and long-term reliability.
Collective Energy helps health centers access various project funding streams, including options with no upfront payment. A blended financial approach is advantageous, but was not previously available in the non-profit health care industry.
