In this policy recommendation, Sarah Mills emphasizes the importance of scaling renewable energy projects to meet the targets set by PA 235 of 2023. She advocates for increased use of smaller-scale projects, such as community and rooftop solar, to distribute energy infrastructure impacts more equitably across communities. Mills explains that such projects, along with microgrids and distributed energy solutions, can enhance grid resilience and allow more communities to benefit from renewable energy, helping to create a more equitable and sustainable energy landscape.
