Solarize Kent is up and running!

This community solar program, which has been unanimously endorsed by the Kent Town Board, allows you to purchase solar electricity though NYSEG with a rate reduction of up to 10%.  There is no fee to enroll and no penalty for termination.

The Town has a limited time offer from Ampion, the supplier originally chosen by Sustainable Putnam. Not only will you receive a 100 gift card when you enroll, but the town will receive an extra $100 if you sign up by October 31.  This is in addition to the $5,000 grant from NYSRDA that the town will receive for supporting Solarize Kent.

Some residents had indicated that they would prefer to have a choice of suppliers.  Two more suppliers will come on board by November 1. All three will provide up to 10% reduction on your electricity rates. However, only Ampion has their billing integrated in your NYSEG bill, and Ampion is also the only supplier offering the additional funding to the town for October sign-ups.
