New Mexico's first Community Solar Project is online. The Cuidando Los Niños community solar project includes more than 14,000 solar panels and will produce 5MW, enough to offset the energy usage of 2,000 homes.  REIA-NM Board President and Director of Commercial Solar Development at Affordable Solar, Dylan Connelly, had this to say about the historic event: 

“We can have low cost, clean energy available for every household in New Mexico, regardless of their income, it’s no longer a rich person’s game. It’s no longer a privileged way to show that you’re supporting climate or climate change [...] These projects, people get to subscribe, and it’s not only about the environmental benefits that we’re providing by having a solar project here, it’s also about real savings for households in need" Watch the coverage here.
