Solar Moonshot Program Grantee
Pine Point Resilience Hub
In Minnesota's north woods, where winter power outages can turn deadly, and some families must choose between heating their homes and buying groceries, a tribal school has flipped the switch on a solar and battery system five years in the making. The Pine Point Resilience Hub is now live, based at a K-8 school and gathering center for elders on the White Earth Reservation: a 500-kilowatt solar array paired with a 2.76 megawatt-hour battery capable of powering the building through a full blackout and, under optimal conditions, recharging from the sun.
"We're incredibly grateful to the funders who made this project possible at zero cost to the school. Hammond Climate Solutions Foundation was a crucial partner, they both provided a grant and brokered a philanthropic investment, enabling a creative blended stack which insulated the project from political instability."
