Left in the dark\, residents get no chance to negotiate for things like community benefits\, pollution safeguards\, or water & energy use agreements. They may not even know the name of the company building the data center. \nJoin us\, along with ReImagine Appalachia\, to learn what an NDA is\, why it matters\, critical information that NDAs often keep hidden\, and which pushback efforts have been effective against NDAs at local and state levels. \n​RSVP here.​ URL:https://envirodelco.org/event/full-disclosure-data-centers-ndas-and-transparency/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Data Centers,Presentation,Virtually ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://envirodelco.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/event-26-08-13.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260814T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260814T163000 DTSTAMP:20260810T190036Z CREATED:20260810T190036Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260810T190036Z UID:13005-1786719600-1786725000@envirodelco.org SUMMARY:Sustainable Facilities & Geoexchange Plant Tour DESCRIPTION:Register today! \n\n\n\n\nSwarthmore College’s Dining and Community Commons is a unique collection of spaces that brings together sustainability\, community\, and campus infrastructure.

We’ll hear from two municipalities that have installed solar and one that is planning to install solar. \nThere are currently two federal credits available that reduce the cost of solar significantly. A 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit and a 10% Community Energy credit (in some areas) are available for systems installed and operating by December 31\, 2027. A 10% domestic content credit is also available. To meet the end of 2027 deadline\, projects should start their feasibility and financial analysis by this September. \nWe’ll also hear about Solarize’s services to help a municipality through the feasibility\, financial analysis\, and RFP process. Financing and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) options will be included.\n \nWhat: Benefits and How-To for Installing Municipal Solar\nWhen: Wednesday\, August 19 | 12:00–1:00 PM\nWhere: Zoom Meeting\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!
