Community Solar powered by NRG

When you sign up for Community Solar powered by NRG, a portion of a local solar project is assigned to you based on your annual historic energy usage. You receive credits on your utility bill when your share of the community solar project produces energy.

NY customers: On your utility bill, look for the "Community Value Stack Credit" line item. This is your community solar subscriber savings. If you don't see the line item, your share of the community solar project didn't produce credits that month.

MA customers: On your utility bill, find the line item "Remote Net Meter Credit" under "Other Charges/Adjustments". This is where you can find the total credit amount issued under your community solar subscription. If this line item is missing, your share of the project didn't produce credits for that month.

NY customers: You won't see a change in how you're currently billed. When your share of the community solar project produces electricity, credits will appear on your monthly utility bill. The credits will be labeled as "Community Value Stack Credit" under "Other Charges/Adjustments." The utility handles any payments to the community solar provider, so you pay your monthly utility bill normally.

MA customers: You'll have two bills associated with your community solar subscription, but you'll never be billed more than what you would have been billed if you weren't a community solar subscriber. You'll receive your monthly electricity bill as usual. When your share of the community solar project produced electricity, credits will appear as "Remote Net Meter Credit" on your bill under the "Other Charges/Adjustments" section. The credits reduce the amount of money you owe the utility company for the month. You are then billed for your community solar subscription by the community solar provider. 

You are not required to be an NRG customer to participate in our community solar program, but if you enroll in the program, you are then eligible to sign up for NRG's Electric Plan for Community Solar Subscribers. You will receive preferred pricing on electricity in addition to the savings earned from being a community solar subscriber. To learn more about our community solar program and enroll in NRG's Electric Plan for Community Solar Subscribers, call us at 844-773-2631.

Just give us 60 days' notice and there will be no cancellation fee. If you're moving and staying in the same utility territory, you can keep your community solar subscription at no cost to you! Just update the community solar provider with your new address and utility account number.

If you cancel your NRG electricity plan you will be able to keep your subscription to the community solar program.

No! This is one of the advantages of community solar. The solar project is built within your community and not on your property.

Signing up is easy! Just visit the project for National Grid NY or National Grid MA or call 844-773-2631 and one of our community solar specialists will get you started.
