WASHINGTON, D.C.; 23 de enero de 2019<\/strong> \u2013 Esta semana se celebran en la Asamblea General de Virginia audiencias sobre dos importantes proyectos de ley sobre energ\u00eda renovable que, si se aprueban, crear\u00edan empleos locales, impulsar\u00edan la econom\u00eda, ahorrar\u00edan a las familias dinero en los costos de la electricidad, reducir\u00edan la contaminaci\u00f3n y fortalecer\u00edan el papel de liderazgo de Virginia en una transici\u00f3n justa hacia la energ\u00eda limpia. <\/p>\n

Los legisladores de la Comisi\u00f3n de Asignaciones de la C\u00e1mara de Representantes escuchar\u00e1n testimonios sobre una enmienda al presupuesto que destinar\u00eda dos millones de d\u00f3lares al Departamento de Educaci\u00f3n para la formaci\u00f3n remunerada en el lugar de trabajo en el campo de la energ\u00eda solar en los tejados y la eficiencia energ\u00e9tica residencial. Esta formaci\u00f3n laboral ayudar\u00eda a colmar la brecha entre los programas de acreditaci\u00f3n t\u00e9cnica en el campo de la energ\u00eda solar en los tejados y la eficiencia energ\u00e9tica residencial, que ya cuentan con el apoyo del estado de Virginia, y la colocaci\u00f3n de trabajadores en puestos de trabajo permanentes para quienes hayan completado estos programas de acreditaci\u00f3n. El financiamiento tiene el potencial de colocar a m\u00e1s de 500 trabajadores en puestos de trabajo permanentes en estas industrias en crecimiento, con un salario por hora proyectado entre dos y diez d\u00f3lares m\u00e1s alto que el que podr\u00edan obtener de otro modo sin la formaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

El jueves, la Subcomisi\u00f3n de Comercio y Energ\u00eda del Congreso, #3 presidida por el delegado O\u2019Quinn, se reunir\u00e1 para considerar una serie de proyectos de ley sobre energ\u00eda limpia, incluido el H.B. 2741, que establecer\u00eda un Consejo Asesor de Energ\u00eda Limpia para desarrollar e implementar un programa piloto de pr\u00e9stamos y bonificaciones para la energ\u00eda solar a bajo y moderado nivel de ingresos (LMI). El Consejo Asesor de Energ\u00eda Limpia trabajar\u00e1 con las autoridades de financiaci\u00f3n existentes de Virginia, agencias, instituciones financieras y la administraci\u00f3n para obtener acceso a capital para ayudar a financiar y implementar la instalaci\u00f3n de paneles solares en los tejados de viviendas de propiedad de las familias con ingresos bajos o medios (LMI). El Programa Piloto de Pr\u00e9stamos y Bonificaciones para Energ\u00eda Solar a Bajo y Moderado Nivel de Ingresos comenzar\u00e1 a aceptar solicitudes en la primavera de 2020. <\/p>\n

Juntos, la enmienda al presupuesto para la formaci\u00f3n profesional y el proyecto de ley sobre el programa piloto de bonificaciones para la energ\u00eda solar de LMI pueden ayudar a garantizar que: todo <\/em>Los habitantes de Virginia pueden disfrutar de los beneficios de la transici\u00f3n hacia la energ\u00eda limpia, como una reducci\u00f3n de las facturas de electricidad, buenos empleos que no pueden ser externalizados, comunidades m\u00e1s resilientes y un entorno m\u00e1s limpio. <\/p>\n

\u201cInstamos a los legisladores de Virginia a que apoyen la expansi\u00f3n de la industria solar y generen m\u00e1s beneficios laborales, econ\u00f3micos y ambientales en el Commonwealth\u201d, dijo Nicole Steele, directora ejecutiva de GRID Alternatives Mid-Atlantic. \u201cEs hora de que Virginia abraza la nueva econom\u00eda basada en la energ\u00eda limpia al tiempo que potencia los empleos locales y reduce la carga energ\u00e9tica de las comunidades econ\u00f3micamente desfavorecidas\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n
