Community Solar
Aggregated Net Metering
A new Illinois law has made it easier for Ameren Illinois customers to benefit from renewable energy. You may be contacted by a company not affiliated with Ameren Illinois about subscribing to receive a portion of your power supply from a Community Solar facility. Ameren Illinois encourages you to explore your options and research the viability of any proposed project. As your energy delivery company, we want to make it easy for you to assess the benefits of any energy supply option, including solar and other renewable sources.What is Community Solar?
Ameren Illinois customers can benefit from solar energy without having to install solar panels or renewable generation equipment on their own homes or businesses. With Community Solar, customers subscribe to receive a portion of the renewable energy produced by a qualifying solar facility, regardless of where in the Ameren Illinois service territory that solar generator facility is located.
