Massachusetts Eversource customers can now subscribe to local community solar farms

Ampion and Lodestar Energy are now offering community solar subscriptions to all Eversource customers in Western Massachusetts. Each subscription will be to one of two 2.9-MW solar farms in Southwick, Massachusetts. Ampion will manage the subscriptions while Lodestar will own and operate the facilities. Community solar allows electric users to receive the benefits of solar without upfront investments or panel installations. As the solar farms deliver energy to the electric grid, subscribers receive credits that offset their electric bill. In addition to choosing an environmentally friendly power source, subscribers save money through the program, as each credit is sold at a 10% discount of their offset value.
