The World Evangelical Alliance (“WEA”) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Smart Roofs Solar Inc. (“SRS”). The MOU joins together the WEA Creation Care Task Force, the WEA Business Coalition, and the WEA Sustainability Center to work with SRS to support WEA’s Project 20.’25 as part of the WEA’s Global Evangelical Clean Energy Initiative to assist 20% of its members – educational institutions, medical facilities, churches, other affiliated entities, and households – to be powered 100% by clean, renewable energy by 2025. SRS enables nonprofit and for profit clients to reduce operating costs while building a sustainable future.
“We are excited to promote creation care by partnering with Smart Roofs Solar to launch a local context-relevant, web-based platform to guide evangelical churches and institutions to adopt clean renewable energy,” says Dr. Chris Elisara, WEA Director, Creation Care Task Force.
“We are honored to collaborate with the WEA to ensure evangelicals receive great guidance and state of the art renewable energy systems at the best possible value,” says SRS CEO, Joe Chenoweth.
The Project 20.’25 online platform helping guide evangelical churches and institutions to adopt clean renewable energy will go live on Oct. 30, 2019 in North America at https://www.weacleanenergyinitiative.org. The platform will guide any church or institution with or without renewable energy expertise or experience to determine what kind of project is possible for the building(s) under consideration; identify credible, local companies that can perform the work; conduct a request for proposals and determine which proposal is best; determine the best financing options and government credits available; upon selection of a service provider execute appropriate work performance agreements, including work progress reporting consistent with best practices; report to WEA at the completion of the project the buyer’s satisfaction with the project experience, the amount of financial savings from the project, and the amount of reduced carbon emissions that will result from the project.
