Illinois Community Solar: CUB’s evaluation of their community solar offer

Elizabeth — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 19:48:09 +0000

This is an evaluation of Illinois Community Solar’s community solar offering. If you are not already familiar with community solar, please read CUB’s Introduction to Community Solar first. Also, learn more about an income-qualified program called Illinois Solar for All. How will signing up for the Illinois Community Solar offer affect my electric bill? With a community solar subscription, customers join a solar farm through the state’s Net Energy Billing program. The solar farm earns energy credits for the power it produces and shares those credits with its subscribers. These credits lower the subscribers’ electric bills. Subscribers then pay the solar farm for the credits—but at a discount (usually 10–20%), so they always save money. This also supports local clean energy. Illinois Community Solar will look at your energy usage history to determine your subscription size, measured in kilowatts (kW). Each month your subscription will produce solar energy, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). With Illinois Community Solar, you will have an option of receiving one bill (consolidated) or two bills (dual billing). With the consolidated, or one bill option your community solar company will bill you once a month and they will take care of billing the utility company. With the two-billing option, you will be billed by your solar company for the electricity you produced. You will then get a separate bill from your usual utility company minus the solar credits you received from the community solar company Illinois Community Solar will bill you for the energy generated by your subscription, with a 10%-20% discount applied. That’s where the savings come in. The total amount you save monthly will vary as the solar production of your subscription varies. What about alternative suppliers? Almost all consumers, regardless of their alternative electricity supplier, can now receive solar bill credits as part of a community solar program. Although, if you receive a bill from your alternate supplier that is separate from your utility bill, solar credits can only be applied to your utility bill. If the alternative electricity provider charges appear in a consolidated bill, your credits will be used on that bill. Learn more about alternative suppliers for consumers in ComEd territory and Ameren territory. What does CUB think about this offer? Community solar allows more Illinois consumers to enjoy the benefits of renewable energy, and CUB is pleased to see these offers hit the market. Illinois Community Solar promises 10%-20% savings over your utility’s energy supply price. Visit Solar in the Community to see CUB’s analysis of other offers available in Illinois. This chart summarizes key points about the Illinois Community Solar deal: What utility territory does the company serve? Ameren and ComEd Does the company offer savings?

Green Energy Justice Cooperative (GEJC): CUB’s evaluation of GEJC’s community solar offer

Elizabeth — Tue, 27 May 2025 16:12:11 +0000

Green Energy Justice Cooperative (GEJC) offers both market rate and income-eligible community solar deals in Will and DuPage counties. If you are not already familiar with community solar, please read CUB’s Introduction to Community Solar first. Also, learn more about an income-qualified program called Illinois Solar for All. Community-Driven Community Solar (‘CDCS’) Green Energy Justice Cooperative includes projects, up to 5 megawatts (MW), that are meant to provide direct clean energy benefits to the communities in Will and DuPage counties where they operate. Read how CDCS works, how it will affect your electric bills, and how you can save money. How will signing up for the GEJC solar offer affect my electric bill? The subscription process starts by becoming a member: You fill out the membership form and show proof you live in the service area and have a ComEd utility account. Then, choose your one-time fee membership tier: $5 for Lower-Income (with income proof), $25 for Standard, and $750 for supporters/organizations. Once confirmed, you can subscribe to the solar farm. GEJC will help you determine the right subscription size, measured in kilowatts (kW), based on your average electricity usage and what capacity from the solar farm is available. Next, you will review and sign the solar agreement and provide your utility information. You’ll get confirmation of your enrollment, and GEJC will connect your account with ComEd. Once activated, your subscription will produce solar energy, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), each month. The supply section of your electric utility bill will be credited for what your subscription produced that month. Then, GEJC will charge you for those credits through a consolidated billing system, but with a discount of up to 20 percent. Example: Say you are currently paying your electric utility 10 cents/kWh. Through GEJC community solar, you will be paying 8 cents/kWh (20% discount on the supply) for any electricity produced by the farm. As a member, you’ll get monthly credits and take part in profit-sharing. You’ll also be able to track your savings online, take part in decisions about the cooperative and attend meetings and educational events. Note: Your subscription size is designed to provide credits for your full electricity usage for the year, though there will be changes in your subscription’s energy production from month to month. For example, your subscription will produce less in winter, but more in summer, and your credits from the summer will rollover to help cover your electricity usage in winter. What about alternative suppliers? All customers, regardless of their electricity supplier, can now receive solar bill credits as part of a community solar program. Be careful about bad alternative supplier deals. Read CUB’s fact sheet. What does CUB think about this offer? Community solar allows more Illinois consumers to enjoy the benefits of renewable energy, and CUB is pleased to see these offers in the market. This is Illinois’s first community-owned solar cooperative, providing more tangible benefits to community members. Members of the cooperative will be able to vote on decisions, attend member meetings, receive profit-sharing distributions, and gain access to educational resources. GEJC does require an online ComEd account to enroll in […]

My guided tour of ComEd’s Community Solar billing mess

Elizabeth — Fri, 07 Feb 2025 22:32:31 +0000

By Marina Minic Solar Programs Coordinator Nearly a year after ComEd’s switch to a new billing system sparked frustrating billing problems for many customers, people are still reporting problems, including participants in Illinois’ groundbreaking Community Solar program–like me! I’ll explain my own experience with ComEd’s current billing mess to show that you aren’t alone–this billing issue is leaving us scratching our heads too. First off, my message to ComEd is: Fix this, please! And to my fellow Community Solar customers: I feel your pain! If you are experiencing the billing problems I outline here, please reach out to ComEd’s Green Power Connection team (1-800-825-5436) to alert them to your issues and ensure there are no extra charges on your bills. It’s important to stay on top of any odd or new charges on your bill at this time, especially as money is tight for many consumers. One of the worst parts of ComEd’s billing problems is that they have created stumbling blocks for a great program in Illinois: Community Solar. As CUB’s solar programs coordinator, you all know I’m a big believer in solar power as a way to make the electricity grid cleaner while saving energy and money for consumers. It’s part of CUB’s mission to show Illinoisans how clean energy can cut their utility bills–but billing problems from ComEd make it difficult to connect consumers to these strong clean energy programs. Why I love Community Solar Illinois’ Community Solar program is perfect for me as a renter. In the past, using solar energy wasn’t an option for those who live in apartments, those with too much shade on their property, or those who simply aren’t quite ready to take the leap with their own panel installation. Community Solar changed all that over the last decade. The Future Energy Jobs Act (FEJA) started Community Solar here in Illinois in 2016, allowing consumers to save money on their electric bills from energy produced by offsite community solar projects (also called solar gardens), similar to how you would save if you installed panels on your own property. Here’s how it works: The owner of the Community Solar garden pays the upfront costs to build, maintain and connect the garden to the utility’s power grid. People then subscribe to a portion of the project’s monthly output–an amount the community solar provider determines from analyzing your household’s energy demand. Each month, you pay your community solar provider for the amount of electricity generated by your subscription. Then the provider reports the output of your subscription to the utility, and the utility company adds credits to your bill equal to that output. (Note: Usually the community solar billing amount is a month or two behind.) Often, Community Solar participants are issued separate bills from the owner of the Community Solar garden, but more and more owners have been attempting to move to a convenient consolidated billing approach, where everything (Community Solar credits and charges) appears together on your ComEd bill. ComEd’s billing problems–a deep dive While CUB has received reports of billing problems from Community Solar customers in general, this blog will focus on […]

PowerMarket: CUB’s evaluation of PowerMarket’s community solar offer

Elizabeth — Wed, 06 Nov 2024 18:27:09 +0000

PowerMarket is a community solar company offering subscriptions to income-eligible ComEd and Ameren customers. If you are not already familiar with Community Solar, we recommend reading CUB’s Introduction to Community Solar first. This is an income-eligible offer, but it is not through the state program designed for lower-income customers, Illinois Solar for All (Learn more). How will signing up for the PowerMarket community solar offer affect my electric bill? PowerMarket will look at your annual electricity usage history to determine your community solar subscription size, which is measured in kilowatts (kW). Once your subscription is activated, each month, your subscription will produce solar energy, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The supply section of your electric utility bill will be credited for what your subscription produced that month. PowerMarket offers net consolidated billing, meaning they can charge you for those solar credits right on your electric bill, but with a 32-38% (depending on utility) discount applied. You will never receive an invoice from PowerMarket and you will continue to pay your utility bill directly. Example: Say you are currently paying your electric utility 10 cents/kWh (hypothetical, not based on actual utility prices). Through PowerMarket community solar, you will be paying around 6-7 cents/kWh (32-38% discount on the supply) for any electricity produced by the farm. Your subscription size is designed to provide credits for your full electricity usage for the year, though there will be changes in your subscription’s energy production from month to month. For example, your subscription will produce less in winter, but more in summer, and your credits from the summer will roll over to help cover your electricity usage in winter. What about alternative suppliers? All customers, regardless of their alternative electricity supplier, can now receive solar bill credits as part of a community solar program. Click here to learn more about alternative suppliers for consumers in ComEd territory and Ameren territory. What does CUB think about this offer? Community solar allows more Illinois consumers to access the benefits of clean energy, and CUB is pleased to see more offers hit the market. PowerMarket, using federal funding, specifically offers deals to income-eligible households.

CUB News Release: ComEd pushes for customers to pay millions to fix botched billing ‘upgrade’ that has crippled Illinois’ acclaimed Community Solar Program

Jim Chilsen — Mon, 24 Jun 2024 14:44:08 +0000

When Commonwealth Edison’s botched billing system upgrade effectively blocked Illinois’ money-saving Community Solar program, the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) demanded that the utility giant finally resolve the months-long problems and abandon a ploy to force frustrated customers to pay nearly $30 million to help fix the fiasco. (Here’s a PDF version of CUB’s June 24 release, and the Chicago Tribune’s front-page story on the issue.) “This is unacceptable,” CUB Executive Director Sarah Moskowitz said in our June news release. “ComEd needs to fix its billing mess now without charging customers a single penny more for its ineptitude. It’s ironic that ComEd, a company that touts itself as a clean energy champion, has bungled its billing system so severely that it has effectively blocked the Community Solar program, which has been a clean energy success story in Illinois. People depend on this program as a way to cut their bills and support clean energy–they deserve better from a utility whose parent company rakes in billions of dollars in profits.” (Sign CUB’s petition urging state regulators to hold ComEd accountable.) The billing system revamp was originally slated to be up and running Feb. 20. The supposed upgrade, which ComEd said was “designed to deliver an improved customer experience,” included a new look for bills and a new account number for each customer. But four months later, numerous problems persisted and the error-prone system had effectively halted the Community Solar program, denying customers money-saving credits they are supposed to receive on their ComEd bills. (Finally, Community Solar customers began to receive catch-up credits in their July bills.) Community Solar, which was created under the 2016 Future Energy Jobs Act and got additional support from the 2021 Climate and Equitable Jobs Act, offers Illinois consumers the benefits of solar power without having to install panels at their homes. That makes the program an attractive and practical option for millions of apartment dwellers and people with shady roofs who in the past simply could never have considered solar power. Under the program, ComEd customers who participate subscribe–at a discounted rate–to a portion of the energy output of a Community Solar provider’s large, offsite solar farm. Each month, those participants then get credits on their ComEd bills for the amount of power generated by their subscription at the solar farm. The program also has a component for lower-income households that guarantees savings. However, ComEd’s billing revamp sparked a long list of problems. For example, Community Solar credits that were supposed to help lower participants’ costs disappeared from ComEd bills—and sometimes the entire Community Solar section went missing. Other customers have seen only partial credits, or the credits were listed erroneously as a “previous balance due immediately.” As a result of the ComEd billing debacle, Community Solar in Illinois was stalled for months, with Community Solar providers unable to send their monthly bills to customers. Making matters worse, ComEd in its latest rate-hike request ($1.1 billion over four years) is trying to bill customers for fixing its blunders. As part of ComEd’s second multi-year grid plan—the first was rejected by state regulators last December because the utility […]

Do you know about these Illinois solar programs?

Elizabeth — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 20:33:44 +0000

Thanks to strong state (Climate and Equitable Jobs Act) and federal (Inflation Reduction Act) incentives, the money-saving benefits of solar power have never been more accessible to so many people in Illinois. #1 Want to install panels? Consider the Solar Switch group-buy program CUB and the nonprofit Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA), along with Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake and Will counties, have launched a solar panel group-buy program, Solar Switch. (Read our news release.) This program helps consumers in those five counties (plus Kendall and McHenry counties) utilize the power of volume discounts alongside state and federal incentives to get the best deal on panels. #2 No panels? No problem! Check out Community Solar Illinois’ community solar program allows electricity customers to enjoy the benefits of solar energy without installing panels on their own homes. A community solar subscription is your monthly share of a solar farm that will help offset some of your home’s electricity usage. Thanks to affordable clean energy expanded under CEJA, community solar customers can save roughly 10-20% on the supply portion of their electric bills. #3 Illinois Solar for All makes the switch to solar more affordable than ever Illinois Solar for All (ILSFA) is a state-run program for income-eligible residents. Consumers can take advantage of the benefits of solar at little or no cost for either residential rooftop solar or community solar. These programs are designed specifically to help lower-income families enjoy the benefits of solar power while helping the planet. Check out our first-ever solar guide for more info, and please reach out if you have any questions. We’re happy to help!

What’s the difference between ARES plans and Community Solar?

Elizabeth — Tue, 09 May 2023 18:59:27 +0000

By Marina Minic, CUB Solar Programs Administrator As we hold hundreds of events across the state, consumers sometimes ask us: What’s the difference between an alternative supplier offer and a relatively new option called Community Solar? The offers can sound deceptively similar, but there are big differences–and you should know them so you can make the choice that’s right for you. Read our Q&A: What are alternative retail electric suppliers (ARES)? Most power bills are split up into supply, delivery and taxes and fees. Traditionally, a utility will charge you for the power you use (the supply) and the cost of delivering it to you (delivery). Investor-owned utilities like ComEd, Ameren, and MidAmerican are not allowed to profit off of the supply section. If you are a customer of one of those companies, you are able to choose who your electric supplier is. You can either stick with ComEd/Ameren/MidAmerican, or you can go with an alternative supplier. These suppliers, called alternative retail electric suppliers (ARES), are authorized by the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) to offer various pricing plans. They market these offers over the phone and via mail, but also door-to-door and even at grocery stores and movie theaters. Warning: Consumers calling about deals peddled by these suppliers–often bad deals–are one of CUB’s top complaints/inquiries. In fact, since 2015, Illinois consumers have lost more than $1 billion to alternative electricity suppliers. ComEd/Ameren’s supply price is often the lowest option because it is illegal for them to make a profit off of what they charge you for supply. Alternative suppliers, on the other hand, can charge whatever they want. If you are considering an electricity offer, make sure to ask good questions and read the fine print before signing up. To learn more about electric competition, read our fact sheets for ComEd customers and Ameren customers. What is a green plan offered by an alternative supplier? Sometimes, alternative suppliers offer something called a “green plan.” They claim such plans supply you with renewable energy. So, customers looking to get their electricity from renewable sources may be tempted to sign up for a green plan. Warning: Signing up for a green plan does NOT mean renewable energy will be powering your home. In reality, these companies are purchasing renewable energy certificates (RECs) from renewable generation facilities, like solar or wind farms. There are a few potential concerns with green plans. Lack of transparency: Most ARES will not disclose information about the renewable generation facilities that they are purchasing RECs from. You may be told the generation type (like wind or solar), but they will often withhold information on where the facility is located, and how long ago it was built. This way, you have no way of knowing if your money is going to support a new renewable project, which is preferable, or if it is going to a facility that was built a long time ago and has already been paid off. High electric rates: Green plan customers often pay a relatively high rate, compared with the utility supply price. There is very little oversight of how these companies are spending […]

CUB releases first-ever Solar Guide: new resource shows IL consumers how to secure clean, affordable energy with solar

Elizabeth — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 15:58:14 +0000

This Earth Week, CUB released its first-ever solar guide to help consumers learn more about and navigate their solar energy options in the state. CUB’s Guide to Solar is a free, comprehensive introduction to solar energy for your home. Written in plain, easy-to-understand language, the guide educates consumers on how solar panels work, provides an overview of solar programs available in Illinois, details solar financing options, and concludes with a solar glossary and other helpful resources. The guide also explains Illinois Solar for All, a program to help income-qualified households go solar, and it introduces consumers to Community Solar, a program that helps people enjoy the benefits of solar, even if they can’t put panels on their property. “With all the incentives available, there has never been a better time to take advantage of solar power in Illinois, but during this solar boom, people need a consumer advocate in their corner,” said Marina Minic, solar programs coordinator at CUB and one of the lead authors of the guide. “We hope this guide provides consumers with a helpful roadmap so they can navigate the technical details and the sales pitches to determine the best option for their own household.” Minic said the passage of Illinois’ Climate and Equitable Jobs Act in 2021 and the federal Inflation Reduction Act in 2022 created the most beneficial incentives in the history of the solar industry. Now consumers have more choices, and it’s not unusual to have solar sales representatives coming to your door. The 20-page guide is available for free on CUB’s website. For more information, check out CUB’s Clean Energy page and CUB’s Guide Catalog.
