Many Medical Baseline customers depend on
electrically powered medical devices for health
and mobility. During outages or emergency
situations, these customers face increased risk if
power is lost. The Solar Generator Rebate
Program is designed to enhance safety,
independence, and preparedness by making
renewable backup power solutions more
affordable.
This program supports the City’s goals of
improving energy resilience, promoting
sustainability, and protecting the well-being of
vulnerable residents.
