Solar Celebration! Tacoma Program Center Net-Zero Open House - July 12, 2024

Join us on Friday, July 12, for an open-house celebration at the Tacoma Program Center from 4:30-7:00pm to celebrate the achievement of a significant milestone for The Mountaineers Net-Zero Vision. With the installation of solar panels and battery storage walls, the Tacoma Program Center is the FIRST net-zero energy consumption building for The Mountaineers.

Learn more about how we’re partnering with the City of Tacoma, Tacoma Power, and FEMA to provide community outreach and education opportunities to Mountaineers members and the public, serve as a model for other resilience hubs, and potentially use the TPC as a FEMA Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) center for utilization in emergency situations.

This project was made possible with funding support from Mountaineers members and:

• The Solar plus Storage for Resilient Communities grant from the Washington State Department of Commerce with funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act. The CCA supports Washington’s climate action efforts by putting cap-and-invest dollars to work reducing climate pollution, creating jobs, and improving public health. Information about the CCA is available at www.climate.wa.gov
• And, by Evergreen Options, a Tacoma Power program funded by utility customers who support new renewable energy in the Pacific Northwest. If you purchase electricity from Tacoma Power, you can support renewable energy by enrolling in Evergreen Options at MyTPU.org/Evergreen. Tacoma Power’s hydroelectric generation portfolio is 97% carbon free. Hydroelectricity is a clean and renewable power source.
