Looking to save on your energy bills while supporting renewable energy? Now’s your chance! Cooperative Energy Futures (CEF) has just three spots left in their Community Solar Gardens, and subscriptions close in April! Once they’re gone, you’ll have to wait until next year to join—so act fast!
Who Can Join?
If your income is at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) or if you make $60,000 or less per year, you qualify to be part of this solar community!
Better yet, if you’re already a CEF member, you can refer two qualifying friends and receive a special thank-you gift for helping expand the solar movement! 💚
What Is a Community Solar Garden?
Community Solar Gardens (CSGs) allow anyone with an Xcel Energy bill to benefit from solar power—no rooftop panels required! Whether you own or rent, you can participate without needing permission from a landlord.
Here’s how it works:
✅ The solar panels are installed on industrial roofs, parking ramps, or open fields—not on your home.
✅ No upfront installation costs, just a one-time $25 membership fee (flexible payment options available).
✅ Easy transferability—moving? If you’re still an Xcel Energy customer in Minnesota, your subscription moves with you!
✅ No long-term commitment—you can cancel at any time, with no termination fees.
Why Join?
🔹 Save on Energy Costs – Members see 10%-20% savings on their bills.
🔹 Support Clean Energy – Fossil fuels are a leading cause of climate change and health issues like asthma.
🔹 Be Part of a Cooperative – CEF members own, benefit from, and support renewable energy projects!
How Do Savings Work?
When you subscribe, you “own” a portion of the energy produced by the Community Solar Garden. Xcel Energy pays you for your share of the energy produced through a monthly bill credit. Part of this credit helps cover the costs of running the solar garden, and the rest lowers your energy bill—by law, you must save money each month!
