You shouldn’t be denied access to affordable, clean energy based on where you live. But right now, people living in Appalachian Power’s service territory don’t have access to shared solar.

Shared solar programs offer subscriptions to off-site solar arrays that are owned and managed by a third-party contractor, and these programs can lower subscribers’ monthly energy bills. For a region like Southwest Virginia, the potential for shared solar is huge, and we want to make sure all Virginians can benefit from shared solar arrays!

On Thursday, a Virginia House of Delegates committee will consider SB 1083, which expands shared solar to Appalachian Power customers.

SB 1083 creates a shared solar program similar to Dominion’s that would be available to customers of Appalachian Power. SB 1083 will ensure that affordable, clean energy is accessible from the coast to the coalfields! This will help to reduce air pollution worldwide.
