For the Christian Brothers Center, this solar project was a testament to the importance of a trusted partnership and commitment to a shared objective. Brother Shubnell emphasized the critical nature of partnering with a reliable solar developer: “Make sure you trust your solar developer partner. Instead of a few months, our partnership lasted three years. Mission Energy remained persistent, resilient and dedicated to adjusting and overcoming the project delays that they had little control over. They fulfilled the project beginning to end with our deep satisfaction and appreciation.”

In the two years since it was signed into law, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has transformed the green energy landscape. By tapping into the IRA’s incentives, nonprofits can achieve their sustainability goals and strengthen their communities and missions.
