Our Public School Program aims to provide essential support to public schools in Rhode Island, with an emphasis on underserved districts, by implementing energy-saving measures that improve building occupants' health, safety, and comfort while also reducing energy costs. These investments will not only improve the conditions of these important public buildings but also contribute to the state's Act on Climate law, which mandates economy-wide greenhouse gas reduction targets leading to net-zero emissions by 2050.
