📈 As electricity rates continue to rise due to grid infrastructure investments and surging demand, Community Solar offers a much-needed solution. A WHYY story highlights Ampion's partnership with our solar developer client, Dimension Energy, as we work together to bring renewable energy savings to the Wilmington, Delaware community.

💵 Ampion's CEO & Founder, Nate Owen, emphasizes that we are seeing unprecedented upward pressure on energy prices—largely driven by capacity auctions—and believes Community Solar is the only effective solution to provide immediate relief to consumers while stabilizing the grid.

☀️ Brandon Smithwood, VP, Policy at Dimension Energy, told WHYY about the speed at which can become available. Unlike traditional large-scale power plants, Community Solar projects can be built quickly, helping the grid keep pace with demand and providing savings of approximately 10 to 20% for local subscribers.

🌎 But it’s about more than just the savings. As a Wilmington subscriber, Brice Shirbach, puts it: "Going to a hybrid car is great, or using energy-efficient light bulbs is great, but the steps we need to be taking as a society are of a much larger scale. So, when something like this becomes available, it’s exciting and an opportunity to jump at the chance."

Proponents of community solar energy say the initiative is a solution to rising costs of electricity.

🌟 It was great connecting with the solar community at the New York Solar Energy Industries Association 2025 conference last week! Our policy team had valuable discussions with developers, our partners at the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, and other policy experts in the space.

Key takeaways:
📊 NYSEIA hosted our annual in-person Billing & Crediting Working Group meeting between industry members and the Joint Utilities. The Billing & Crediting Working Group announced enhancements to utility self-serve portals and the long-awaited rollout of Net Crediting for volumetric NEM-0 projects.

⚖️ Keith Martin from Norton Rose Fulbright provided crucial insights on federal ITC deadlines, FEOC supply chain restrictions, and tariff impacts on our industry.

☀️ With NY-SUN incentives nearing expiration, passing the ASAP Act is critical. This legislation would raise New York's distributed solar goal to 20 GW by 2035 (up from 10 GW by 2030), with Community Solar playing a central role.
