Solar Power on the South Side | Chicago News

Published 1 week ago
Description

Solar-powered charging stations are sprouting across Chicago’s South Side, turning sunny spots like XS Tennis Village into eco-friendly hubs where you can recharge your devices — and even your electric car. ComEd’s initiative includes seven public charging spots and a groundbreaking Bronzeville Microgrid powering 1,000 homes and local emergency services, all designed to boost resilience during outages. This isn’t just about tech — it’s about equity, breaking down barriers for apartment dwellers and underserved communities who’ve historically borne the brunt of climate impacts. By making clean energy visible and accessible, the goal is to ignite a community-wide shift toward sustainability, one solar-powered workstation at a time.
