To grow adoption of community solar projects in rural states, the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) launched the Achieving Cooperative Community Equitable Solar Sources (ACCESS) project. ACCESS is funded by a $1 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) and focuses on research, field tests, and conversations with electric cooperatives, so far resulting in five 5 solar programs collectively delivering 7.5 megawatts of solar energy that directly benefits 7,800 low- and moderate-income households.
