South Dakota's Largest Affordable Housing Project Goes Solar

GenPro Energy launches 999kW solar project powering 252 affordable apartments in Rapid City. The Camden Heights development offsets 90% of energy needs for low-income residents.

This project represents a critical advancement in making renewable energy accessible to low-income communities, addressing both environmental sustainability and economic equity. By integrating solar power directly into affordable housing infrastructure, it tackles the energy burden that disproportionately affects low-income households, who typically spend a higher percentage of their income on utilities. The 90% energy offset translates to substantial cost savings for seniors and families, providing financial stability while reducing carbon emissions. This model demonstrates how clean energy solutions can be scaled to benefit vulnerable populations, creating a blueprint that other communities can replicate to address both climate change and housing affordability challenges simultaneously.
