Worlds Largest Resilience Hub Network
The Community Lighthouse Project, organized by Together New Orleans, seeks to build a network of 85 congregations and community institutions equipped with commercial-scale solar power and back-up battery capacity across New Orleans. Power outages are the leading cause of disaster-related death in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast. Community Lighthouse aims to stop those preventable tragedies. 127 Energy is proud to be leading the project development of each Community Lighthouse site, coordinating the design, implementation and operation of the solar plus storage microgrids at each location. The long-term goal is to ultimately develop 500 Community Lighthouses all throughout the state of Louisiana so everyone can be just a short walk away from electricity when they need it, starting with those communities most at risk. Already with 15 Community Lighthouses operating to date, it is the largest renewable energy community resilience hub network in the world.
