Rural Renewable Energy Alliance

An innovative organization fighting energy poverty with solar since 2000, RREAL is removing systemic barriers to energy sovereignty among disadvantaged communities. We are empowering low­income communities by making the benefits of solar energy accessible to all. Founded in the small garage of a low­income individual seeking a better solution to his energy poverty, RREAL has evolved beyond its humble origins to an innovative national non­profit serving community across the upper Midwest and beyond. RREAL has served thousands of households, hundreds of service organizations, schools, hospitals, and economically disadvantaged communities. As a first mover in the low­income solar space and a national thought leader on matters of energy equity, our efforts are providing economic opportunities for low­income families while demonstrating that solar is a powerful tool in the fight against poverty. 40 million Americans live in energy poverty and must choose between home energy and other basic needs such as housing and health care. In extreme cases, energy poverty presents the impossible choice of heating or eating. The community living in energy poverty is diverse and includes indi.
