ARKANSAS, USA — Arkansas will be getting more money than expected from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Solar for All program: $93.6 million as opposed to the $62 million the EPA originally announced.
The federal grant is a strategic economic investment in the Hope Enterprise Corp. of Jackson, Mississippi, which partnered with the Arkansas Advanced Energy Foundation of Little Rock to employ rooftop solar power for the benefit of rural Arkansans and contribute to the state’s energy independence.
Lauren Waldrip, executive director of the AAEF and the Arkansas Advanced Energy Association, flagged the EPA’s correction to Arkansas Business. “We are getting $92 million for Solar for All,” rather than the originally reported $62 million, Waldrip said.
