Phoenix and FUSE are expanding solar across city facilities to advance climate goals, reduce energy costs, and strengthen community resilience.
The city’s abundant sun presents a powerful opportunity to generate clean energy close to where it is used. Realizing that potential requires a clear strategy for ownership, finance, and long-term operations that maximizes benefits for residents. Phoenix is evaluating how to grow solar installations across facilities in ways that support reliability and responsible stewardship of public resources.
In partnership with FUSE, the City will assess current agreements, identify new opportunities, and develop a business case that aligns investment with community priorities. FUSE Executive Fellow David Farias will coordinate across departments and with external partners to design a practical roadmap for expansion. This work will help Phoenix harness local renewable energy, demonstrate leadership in municipal sustainability, and deliver tangible value to the community.
