We have contracted for five solar projects to be built in our service area. The projects are expected to come online in 2025 and 2026 and will supply 5.8 MWh of energy, enough electricity to power about 2,900 households. Learn more about these projects on our Power Projects page. In the interim, clean energy for this program is supplied by an existing qualifying solar project.
