Who pays the upfront costs to build the production facility? Who are those costs passed on to? When an individual ‘subscribes’ to the program is there any financial commitment on their part support the facility, or do they receive the benefit of lower cost electricity because they qualify as lower income? I’m sure I’m forgetting one thing or another to ask, but you get the idea. Answers to these would round out the article.

The GTSR has an enviromental justice component but no projects in EJ for EJ customers. There is also the Community Solar Green Tariff (CSGT) program. So why add a third program rather than support/engage/push for the existing programs?
