Rocky Mountain Power customers have come out in strong numbers and fully reserved the 20-megawatt solar plant that will begin supplying power in January 2017.
The Subscriber Solar program gives customers a choice to use solar if they rent their property, cannot or do not want to install solar or have roofs that are not suitable for solar panels. Subscriber Solar became available for commercial and industrial customers in May and residential customers in June.
Customers who still want to sign up for the program will be put on a waiting list. They will be able to subscribe if anyone cancels their subscription in the future or will need to wait until the next solar plant is built.
"The more customers we have on the wait list for Subscriber Solar the quicker we will be able to build another solar plant," said Keven Hoopiiaina, Subscriber Solar program manager.
Residential customers can sign up to be put on the wait list and still use an online calculator to find out how much the program will cost or save them. Commercial customers can request an analysis to see how the program would impact their bills. Both residential and commercial customers can go to rockymountainpower.net/subscriber.
