Across the West, Blue Sky Block participants are helping bring new renewable energy projects to life in the communities they call home. From rural community centers to schools and food banks, these projects help lower energy costs, support critical services and strengthen local resilience for years to come.

Yreka Carnegie Library

​In California, Blue Sky Block funds are supporting the installation of a 24.5-kilowatt solar array at the Carnegie Library restoration in Yreka. This initiative exemplifies how Blue Sky participants are helping to enhance public spaces with sustainable energy solutions. This solar array is part of a larger, multi-year community effort led by the Siskiyou County Economic Development Council to transform the shuttered historic Carnegie building into a valuable community asset for Yreka. The project's collaborative nature, bringing together multi-sector and multi-agency initiatives, highlights how Blue Sky support contributes to community revitalization.

This project is just one example of how Blue Sky participants are driving demand for cleaner energy while creating tangible community benefits. By choosing Blue Sky Block, customers help fund community-based renewable energy that lifts communities, supports local organizations and contributes to a cleaner energy future for the region.
