Whom should I contact for more information? Contact Ampion via email at help@ampion.net or by calling (800) 277-3631. Ampion is responsible for customer service and billing administration for the Sheep Creek Community Solar Farm.

How will I be billed? Your subscription to the Sheep Creek Community Solar Farm results in a monthly Community Renewables credit that appears as an individual line item on your SCE Energy Statement. Community Renewable credits and charges vary from month to month because they are calculated based on the size of your subscription and the solar farm’s monthly generation which fluctuate due to factors like weather. The Community Renewables credit and charge will only appear on your SCE Energy Statement after the solar facility becomes operational.

As a subscriber to the solar facility, you will continue to receive electricity from and remain a customer of SCE. Therefore, you will continue to receive a monthly SCE Energy Statement. In accordance with your signed customer developer agreement (CDA), you will receive a separate invoice statement from Ampion, on behalf of Catalyze Holdings, for your subscription specific to the Community Renewable bill credits applied to your SCE Energy Statement.

Relationship between Catalyze LLC and Ampion: Catalyze has contracted with Ampion to provide Customer Acquisition and Billing Management services. Ampion supports community solar farm owners by taking responsibility for marketing to and servicing community solar customers, but has no ownership of the farm. As part of Ampion’s services, customers will receive a monthly invoice from Ampion for the energy that is generated on their behalf by the Community Solar Farm. This invoice will be sent after the benefit of this generation appears on the customer’s SCE bill. Ampion is the customer service provider, and customers will contact Ampion with any questions, comments or concerns about their subscription.

The terms and conditions of the relationship between the customers and Ampion will be set forth in the Ampion Assignable Agreement, which will serve as the CDA.

How will my SCE bill be calculated? Your SCE bill will show a community renewables credit, which is determined based upon the number of kilowatt-hours (kWh) of renewable energy allocated to your utility account multiplied by the Community Renewables Rate, which is determined by SCE. This Community Renewables Credit will reduce the amount of your SCE utility invoice, but will be partly offset by Community Renewables Charges calculated and assessed by SCE to account for your involvement in the program.

How will my Ampion bill be calculated? Ampion will service your subscription on behalf of Catalyze. The Ampion invoice is calculated based upon the same number of kilowatt-hours (kWh) applied to your SCE invoice multiplied by the PPA Rate defined in your subscriber agreement.

How much will enrolling in the program cost? There is no fee to enroll in the program.

Will my rate change over time? Yes, your PPA rate will change over time according to the schedule provided upon enrollment and included in your customer developer agreement (CDA). The rate used to calculate the value of your Bill Credits will also change over time. 20-year projections and details are available from SCE at https://www.sce.com/residential/rates/standard-residential-rate-plan/green-rates. The utility rates may change annually based upon the ERRA filing and is subject to CPUC approval.

What is the process for terminating the contract and what is the early termination fee? There is no termination fee. For Residential customers you must provide ninety (90) days written notice in order to cancel. Commercial Customers must provide six months (180 days)’ written notice in order to cancel their subscription.

You will be responsible for payment of any Bill Credits that have been allocated to you but not otherwise paid for, i.e., Bill Credits that roll-over in excess of what has been applied to your utility invoice in previous months, as well as any additional allocated credits between the time you notify to cancel and the time the utility is able to process your removal from the subscription list.

You may provide written notice to help@ampion.net.

What length of agreement/contract is required? A 3 year, or 36 monthly billing cycles, minimum contract is required for residential customers. At the end of the term, this agreement will automatically renew for an additional 2 years, or 24 monthly billing cycles, and will continue to automatically renew unless you cancel.

For commercial customers, a 10 year, 120 monthly billing cycles, minimum contract is required. At the end of the term, this agreement will automatically renew for an additional 5 years, or 60 monthly billing cycles, and will continue to automatically renew unless you cancel.

Notwithstanding the term length of the agreement, you may cancel your subscription at any time at no cost with 90 day notice.

What other fees might I be charged? All credit and debit card transactions are subject to a convenience fee up to 3.5%, which will be calculated and provided on your invoice prior to your payment method being charged.

You may change your payment method to ACH in order to avoid this fee at any time by emailing Ampion at help@ampion.net.

No. Your current utility will still service your account and deliver energy to your home or business. Any energy consumption that isn’t covered by your energy credits will be paid to the utility at their price.

There is no cost to join our community solar program. You will receive a monthly invoice for the energy credits, produced by your solar farm and applied to your utility bill, at a discounted rate.

If you are moving to a residence that is still in the area of eligibility, you can take your subscription with you! As long as you reside in the same utility service territory, you can continue to be a part of your project.

You can start enrolling here. The sign up process takes about five minutes and you will need a copy of your electric bill.
