HASI’s Post

Community solar is delivering on its promise of expanding access to low-cost, clean power. ☀️ A new study by Berkeley Lab and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory finds that #CommunitySolar is making renewable power more available to those who live in rentals and multifamily buildings, all while reducing their electric bills.

This week, a group of our dedicated HASI crew rolled up their sleeves for a rewarding volunteer day at Quiet Waters Park, a beautiful 340-acre sanctuary for both visitors and wildlife, not far from our HQ in Annapolis. They tackled the invasive Asiatic Bittersweet vines, which choke the life out of trees by blocking their nutrient and water flows. Big thanks to Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks for giving us the chance to connect together outside and play a part in restoring the park's natural balance.

This #PrideMonth, we join our LGBTQ+ colleagues and friends in celebrating the progress they’ve made towards equality, while acknowledging both the obstacles the community still faces and the critical work that remains to be done to build a safer and more accepting world. This weekend, our incredible employees once again took part in the Annapolis Pride Parade to show our solidarity and support of this important work. Thank you to everyone who made this event special, especially the HASI Q+ Business Resource Group, a team dedicated to empowering members of the LGBTQ+ community and its allies, promoting the community’s advancement at all levels. #PrideMonth

We are pleased to announce HASI today secured an investment grade rating from Fitch Ratings, marking our second from a major credit rating agency. “Two investment grade ratings will enable our bonds to be included in investment grade indices, increasing our access to low-cost, long-duration debt capital. Achieving investment grade is a testament to our strong financial position, consistent track record of execution, and resilient business model.” - Marc Pangburn https://lnkd.in/eG9JHPHP
