明尼苏达州校园太阳能计划惠及191个学区：年底太阳能学校将达400所，较2022年翻了一番多
明尼苏达州商务厅官员10月22日上午在 Maplewood 的 Justice Alan Page 小学介绍该州校园太阳能计划（Solar for Schools）的最新进展：全州太阳能学校有望在年底达到400所，较2022年翻了一番多。
据州商务厅介绍，自2022年以来，该计划已向191个学区发放3,260万美元州拨款，帮助学校投资太阳能发电设施；另一项配套计划则为电动校车提供资助。州拨款降低了学校安装太阳能的前期投入门槛。
明尼苏达州自然资源厅同日宣布，2027年入侵水生植物治理拨款将于11月9日起接受申请，治理对象包括卷叶眼子菜、欧亚水蕴草、开花灯心草与星形石莼。
Minnesota Solar for Schools Program Reaches 191 Districts: 400 Solar-Powered Schools Expected by Year-End, More Than Double the 2022 Figure
Minnesota Department of Commerce officials highlighted the latest progress of the state's Solar for Schools program on the morning of October 22 at Justice Alan Page Elementary School in Maplewood: Minnesota is on track to have 400 solar-powered schools by the end of the year, more than double the number in 2022.
According to the department, the program has awarded $32.6 million in state grants to 191 school districts since 2022, helping schools invest in solar energy facilities, while a separate program funds electric school buses. The state grants lower the upfront cost barrier for schools installing solar power.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources announced the same day that its 2027 grants for managing invasive aquatic plants will begin accepting applications on November 9, targeting curly-leaf pondweed, Eurasian watermilfoil, flowering rush and starry stonewort.
