ComEd Now Accepting Customer Applications for Solar Rebates
Rebate of $250 per kilowatt for renewable supply in Illinois
ComEd announced today that commercial and industrial customers can begin submitting applications for rebates of $250 per
kilowatt of installed solar energy as approved last month by the Illinois Commerce Commission. The rebate will reduce up-front
installation costs and spur renewable energy development, and it is available to ComEd business customers who adopted solar after
June 1, 2017.
Rebate amounts will be based on the capacity of a company’s solar project. A 1,000-kilowatt project, for example, will be
eligible for a rebate of $250,000. Rebates will be fulfilled within 60 days of receipt of a completed application.
“Our new rebate program is a strong demonstration of the commitment we’re making to increase access to renewable energy and
create new value and more choices for our customers,” said Veronica Gomez, senior vice president of regulatory and energy policy,
ComEd. “This is an important milestone for ComEd and for customers seeking clean energy alternatives, and it will further reinforce
Illinois’ growing reputation for energy innovation.”
The rebate is also available to community supply project owners, operators or customers receiving community supply service.
Owners or operators of a community supply project produce and provide energy to the grid, while subscribers to the project receive
credits based on their share of the total energy produced.
This rebate program rewards commercial and industrial customers for generating clean energy much like ComEd’s residential net
metering customers already receive credits on their bill when they produce more energy than they use with a private solar energy
system installed at their home.
Eligible customers can learn more about the new ComEd rebate program requirements and apply for a rebate at
