El Sol al Alcance de tus Manos

South Everett Solar Project

The PUD has partnered with the City of Everett to build a solar project in south Everett that is generating funds for the Community Energy Fund, which assists income-qualified PUD customers. Community Energy Fund is administered by St. Vincent de Paul.

The solar array has a capacity of 400 kilowatts, generating enough electricity to power approximately 30 homes in a year.

Local artists are working with PUD staff to design and install a community art project at the site. A community celebration and dedication is planned for fall 2025.

Washington State’s Clean Energy Fund is managed by the Washington State Department of Commerce, which supports the development, demonstration and deployment of clean energy technology.
