Dubuque, IA pursues sustainable energy for low-income households with Renew DBQ pilot
City council members are considering the installation of subsidized solar panels at 10 homes in the downtown urban renewal district. Renew DBQ uses data from the Dubuque County Energy District to identify households with heavy utility burdens. Each 5-kilowatt installation saves pilot participants up to $1,000 per year in energy costs. Advocates for Renew DBQ believe the pilot will reduce emissions and utility bills while boosting local energy businesses.
