This new 170-home community in Ann Arbor runs on solar, storage, geothermal, and heat pumps—not fossil fuels. Most residents have near-zero or even negative energy bills.

All-electric, net-zero neighborhoods like this are the future.
Residents have almost no energy bills in this self-powered Ann Arbor neighborhood
Every home in Ann Arbor development will be all-electric, with the new neighborhood acting as its own power plant.
