Crowdsourced Microfinance for Energy Efficiency in Underserved Communities

BlocPower will develop a crowd-sourcing website to help market, finance, and install energy efficiency retrofits for 1,500 small buildings in low-income communities across the country. These efforts could help these communities achieve notable energy savings and reduce their carbon emissions.
