Portland 2015 Climate Action Plan – Solar

The City of Portland has established as one of its climate objectives to supply 50% of all energy used in buildings from renewable resources, with 10% produced within Multnomah County from on-site renewable sources, such as solar. They are designated through the following: (1) 3B Installed Solar and Solar Access – Add another 15 megawatts of installed solar PV capacity by motivating and assisting households and businesses through the community to install solar, and revisiting the City’s solar access policy and regulations, recognizing changing conditions due to the proliferation of residential rooftop solar energy systems. (2) 3C Community Solar – Support the development of community solar projects that benefit all residents, particularly communities of color and low-income populations
