Your clean energy glow-up is one month away

Take charge of your clean energy future and save $

Book your ticket now for the Healthy Homes Fair on Saturday March 21, 2026 from 1 - 5 PM to Catholic University. This free, family-friendly expo helps DC-area residents learn how to make their homes healthier, more resilient, and more affordable to power.

Get your free ticket

The e-bike tasting party is back and better than ever in partnership with our friends at WABA, and this year we’re adding electric cars to the mix. Come test drive a Rivian, look at a variety of EV makes and models, and get your questions answered by the volunteers from the EV Association of the DC region.

Secure your test ride

With the support of Uprise and Solar Solution, we are launching the Sun Room at the Healthy Homes Fair! Come meet homeowners and renters who are getting their energy from the sun and are eager to share their experiences. The Sun Room is your chance to get honest answers from your neighbors, take action on a solar installation, and learn how you could get free solar before the end of the year. Don't miss it!

Come talk solar!

Learn about community power and how it increases energy affordability

Electricity demand is rising. Building expensive new gas power plants take years, costs billions and drives electric bills up. Communities have existing resources such as solar panels, batteries, and smart devices in homes and businesses across the country that can meet demand right now. When utilities tap existing resources instead of building new power plants, everyone saves money and families can earn extra income selling power back to the grid. Come learn about the policies to accelerate the adoption of these distributed energy resources (DERs). Book your ticket for Power Shift: A DER Showcase today!

Secure your early-bird ticket

This event includes:

Vehicle to electrical grid bidirectional EV charging, presented by VGIC
Home batteries
Battery-equipped appliances, presented by Copper
Aggregators connecting consumers and communicating with utilities, presented by Elastic Energy
Plug-in solar
