Residential Electrification Project With NextEnergy

Partnering to Scope the First Residential Low-Income Electrification Project in Michigan

NextEnergy partnered with Fresh Coast Climate Solutions to scope a low-income residential electrification project for implementation in the City of Flint, Michigan, as part of the MINextCities program.

Fresh Coast conducted research and engaged with stakeholders – the City of Flint, community housing agencies and organizations, regional technology manufacturers, contractors, and utilities – to design an impactful electrification project that can scale the electrification of existing housing stock statewide.

Key Electrification Engagement Outcomes

• An electrification implementation guide to improve resiliency and make strides toward achieving net zero in a low-income community

• An electrification financial model to guide the most impact by incorporating Inflation Reduction Act incentives and grant funding with the right technological solutions

• Stakeholder engagement and community partnerships to support implementation

• Research of available connected, electrification technologies
