Central members can now purchase electricity from a 500-kW solar array on Central’s campus.
Residential members can purchase blocks of 100 kilowatt hours for $2.63 per block. This cost is in addition to current rates. Only 340 blocks are available for purchase – so blocks will be offered as first-come, first-serve.
Central’s Community Solar project is an alternative for members who want to use solar power without having the expense and overhead of purchasing solar panels for their homes.
“The program will give access to solar energy to all members, not just those who can afford solar panels at their homes,” said Hunter Robinson, Central CEO.
The Community Solar program embodies the cooperative way by bringing members together to meet the demand for sustainable energy and access to solar.
