The initiative is part of the virtual Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) between the Urban Grid project companies and Microsoft, under which Microsoft purchases renewable energy generated by four of Urban Grid's utility-scale solar projects. By partnering with SOFF, a nonprofit focused on environmental justice and trust-based philanthropy, Urban Grid is ensuring that the benefits of clean energy development extend beyond the grid and are guided by the voices and needs of the communities themselves. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to fair outcomes for the people and places that make the energy transition possible. "As we work to meet America's unprecedented energy needs, we recognize the importance of ensuring our projects also serve the communities that host them," said Stephen Gallagher, CEO of Urban Grid.
