ENERGY PORTFOLIO

   Our sun provides an enormous supply of light energy that can be collected with photovoltaic panels and converted into electricity. Solar energy provides an abundant supply of clean electricity to benefit CIPCO Member-owners.   Solar generation comes in many forms: residential, community and cooperative-scale. In 2016, CIPCO launched the state's first utility-scale solar project to take advantage of economies of scale and allow all our members within the system to benefit from solar energy.

Cooperative-scale solar provides electricity during high demand period at a stable price.   As a sustainable corporate citizen, CIPCO is committed to supporting environmentally-friendly energy resources.
