CommonWealth Beacon Spotlights Solstice’s Community Benefit REC Program

March 14, 2025

Solstice’s Community Benefit REC program got a spotlight in CommonWealth Beacon, highlighting how we’re turning renewable energy credits into real dollars for grassroots-led clean energy projects.

The article covers how Solstice is going beyond traditional REC models—charging corporate buyers like Microsoft a premium to generate community impact, not just green claims. That funding is already helping organizations like Boston Medical Center, PUSH Buffalo, and the Boston Community Solar Cooperative advance solar installations, job training, and energy equity in underserved communities.

In a time of federal funding uncertainty, this kind of creative climate finance is gaining attention—and traction. Read the full piece to see how our model is being recognized as a new path forward in clean energy funding.
