Community solar projects help New York State meet its goal of 6,000 MW of Solar by 2025 and save subscribers an average of 10% on their utility bills. The Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (Climate Act), signed into law in 2019, requires the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 40% by 2030 and commits to 100% zero-emission electricity by 2040. Community solar projects sell ene
rgy shares as subscriptions to local residents, businesses, and municipalities. This creates multiple benefits for the community including credit or tax benefits on subscribers' energy bills and support for the local economy. The energy is generated by solar panels at an off-site location, giving community members equal opportunity and access to clean energy even if they are unable to install solar panels on their own property. Residents would keep their National Grid or NYSEG service and would still receive one bill.
