Supporting more renewables on our local grid with Solar Grants
Did you know that Avista does not make money on My Clean Energy? Instead, any profit generated goes to funding more renewables on the Avista grid. That’s right, Avista offers solar grants to local non-profits and educational institutions with funds collected that go beyond the cost of the program.
If you are a current Avista customer with electric service, you can participate. All residential and business customers, regardless of whether you rent or own your home or business, are eligible.
Avista is committed to a clean energy future. This program was designed to offer a simple, flexible, and convenient opportunity for customers to directly support the continued expansion and transition to clean, renewable energy.
No, the power generated through the program is delivered directly to the energy grid, where it is combined with power generated from all other energy sources. As the owner of the Renewable Energy Credit (REC), you get claim to the environmental attributes associated with renewable energy generation.
