Electricity generated for DC residents across all 8 wards
Through Solar for All, a Department of Energy & Environment (DOEE) program, the DC Sustainable Energy Utility (DCSEU) is working with local solar developers to design and install large community renewable energy facilities (CREFs), or community solar systems, on commercial and multifamily properties around the District. 100% of the electricity these systems produce is used to cut bills in half for income-qualified DC residents who live in multifamily buildings or whose roofs are not suitable for solar. Find out how you can work with a developer to install a system on your property in DC.
How do I participate?
The DCSEU issues a Request for Proposal (RFP) during the late summer or early fall for the DCSEU Solar for All (SfA) Program to retain one or more subcontractors to develop solar photovoltaic (PV) electric generation systems in the District of Columbia (District) as Community Renewable Energy Facilities (CREFs).
Sites are typically determined leading up to the proposal phase of each program year.

Children's National Hospital
When we began to plan the Children’s National Research & Innovation Campus, we wanted to do more than discover new and better ways to care for children. We also wanted to support the local community. I'm proud that we could incorporate solar design into our campus, thereby returning clean energy to the residents of Ward 4 and doing our part to support the environment.
