GRID Talks | Charging Latinx Communities

October 26, 2023 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

In this month’s GRID Talk, we close out Latinx Heritage Month by discussing what people-first solutions are needed to ensure a clean energy future that is equitable and sustainable for Latinx families and individuals.

With last year’s passing of the Inflation Reduction Act, $500 billion in new spending and tax breaks aim to boost clean energy projects and incentives across the US. GRID Talks will host a panel of Latinx leaders working in environmental justice to discuss how Latinx communities can benefit from this historical bill and what steps and actions are needed to execute community-first solutions.

Why do Hispanic/Latinx populations install rooftop solar at a 30% lower rate than other minority groups? And why do they also pay 20 percent higher energy bills than the median family in the United States? Join us, and let’s find solutions toward a clean energy future that includes everyone.
