ENERGY CLINIC

Energy Clinic students develop the knowledge, skills, and values integral to the practice of energy law and policy, while helping clients meet local energy needs with reliable, clean, and affordable resources. In 2016, the Energy Clinic has multiple community solar projects under development and is working on state policy to advance community solar. The clinic is also investigating barriers to low-income solar ownership, and working to advance the use of anaerobic biodigesters to create both energy and compost from agriculture and food waste.
