Keep the Lights on Colorado

Namaste Solar raised $50,400 to support 117 Colorado families with community solar!

Thank you to our community of corporate sponsors and individuals for coming together to support our neighbors this season! We were able to raise $50,400 that will go toward providing Colorado families with community solar subscriptions. All funds go directly to supporting Energy Outreach Colorado, a not-for-profit that utilizes community solar subscriptions and emergency bill assistance to support Colorado families struggling to afford their home energy bills. Each community solar subscription reduces a family’s monthly bill while harnessing the cost savings and environmental benefits of solar energy.

Over the past four years, this annual campaign has collectively raised over $284,000!

Help us reach our goal!

Every dollar donated goes to support community solar subscriptions for local households. Because of the cost savings that come with solar energy, these community solar subscriptions can save the average household more than $900 a year off their electric bill – more than double the cost of the subscription itself!

ABOUT ENERGY OUTREACH COLORADO

Energy Outreach Colorado works to expand access to affordable energy for Coloradans who have less power, privilege and income. We work with community members facing energy insecurity so they have a voice in ensuring the equitability of energy access. EOC programs provide a direct impact for the people they serve by helping them afford their energy costs, worry less, and live in a warm and safe home.

1 in 4 households struggle with a high energy burden. (Energy burden is defined as the percentage of gross household income spent on energy costs.)
These households are spending a disproportionate amount of their income on energy bills. The energy burden on low-income households is 3x that of higher income households.
Households that meet or are below the 80% area median income threshold are often making difficult decisions because their home energy can cost more than 20% of their monthly income.

“This summer, my home was so hot. It was unbearable, but I was afraid to turn on my swamp cooler because the cost was so high. I knew I needed help, and thankfully I was able to get connected to Energy Outreach Colorado. They enrolled me in their solar program, and when I went to pay my Xcel bill, they said I had a zero balance now. I was so relieved, and now I can afford to keep my home at a safe temperature. You all made my summer!” – Paul
