Groundbreaking Ceremony for the Itasca Clean Energy Solar Plus Battery Storage Facility

Art Norton joined us on the Tuesday Morning Show to tell us about the groundbreaking ceremony for the Itasca Clean Energy Solar Plus Battery Storage Facility.  It is the first in the region and considered a trailblazer. 

This project is an impressive feat of collaboration,” says Reed Richerson, COO of US Solar. “It represents the culmination of a successful effort between a city, a municipal utility, an investor-owned utility and a privately-owned solar developer to bring the benefits of renewable energy to Grand Rapids.”
