<p class="paragraph" style="margin:0in;vertical-align:baseline"><span class="normaltextrun"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">For the second time, the Renewable Development Fund cycle will include funding for projects that incorporate
energy storage. Solar projects hosted by government organizations, for-profit entities, and nonprofits operating multifamily housing developments or community centers are required to include energy storage. All other projects are encouraged to include energy
storage. Previous RDF awardees, who have completed their final reports, are eligible to apply for funding to add batteries to their existing renewable energy project. Combining battery storage with solar power offers more consistent energy and makes projects
more resilient to potential outages, regardless of the weather or time of day.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
