Lower 9 Leads New Orleans in Solar Capacity
New research suggests that the Lower Ninth Ward is leading the city in solar energy production. Since 2007, ten percent of all solar system permits issued by the City of New Orleans have been for residences in the Lower Ninth Ward, even though the neighborhood contains only two percent of the city's population. According to the report produced by the New Orleans Sierra Club, the Lower Ninth Ward has been issued five times more solar permits, per capita, than has the rest of the city.
