Lightstar and Detroit Achieve Milestone in Renewable Energy with Phase 2 Solar Neighborhoods Initiative
- On May 22, 2025, Lightstar Renewables and the City of Detroit advanced the Solar Neighborhoods program by commencing Phase 2, which involves installing 61 acres of solar infrastructure within Detroit’s Houston-Whittier/Hayes and Greenfield Park areas.
- This effort follows Phase 1 and aims to convert blighted vacant land into renewable energy sites that empower communities and spur economic growth with residents guiding project designs.
- Phase 2 expands Detroit’s solar capacity by 61 acres, bringing the city’s total solar fields to 165 acres that produce 31 megawatts of clean energy, enough to supply power to 127 city-operated facilities such as law enforcement offices, community centers, and public transit locations.
- More than 106 local homeowners will receive energy efficiency upgrades worth at least $15,000 each, lowering utility costs and increasing home values as part of the community benefits.
- The initiative exemplifies a holistic model for sustainable urban development combining energy innovation, environmental stewardship, and community engagement that improves residents’ quality of life.
