Renewable Energy in Colorado
Ampion’s aspirations for Community Solar in Colorado are Rocky Mountain High! When the state committed to 100% renewable energy by 2040, we knew we had to be a pioneer for clean energy in Colorful Colorado.
As the first state to pass a renewable energy standard, Colorado was an early champion of Community Solar. Inspired by this, Ampion got involved to bring clean energy and savings to Colorodans. We’re helping state residents take advantage of the benefits of Community Solar — 10% guaranteed savings on credits generated by their share of the solar farms, and the knowledge that they’re helping the environment.
What’s more, Colorado has one of the most comprehensive low-income solar programs in the country. Community Solar in Colorado is supported by a dual billing system: one bill from your utility provider and one from Ampion with the discount on your bill credits. Residents, small businesses, and large commercial groups are eligible for Community Solar in Colorado.

Ampion Billing in Colorado
The State of Colorado has created a dual billing Community Solar program. This means you'll receive two bills each month: one from your utility (for example, Xcel Energy or Black Hills Energy), and one from Ampion.
Renewable energy credits are applied to your utility bill each month, based on your share of the energy produced by the solar farm. These credits reduce and in many cases eliminate any payments owed to the utility.
You then pay Ampion at a discount for those credits. This is where the savings come in!
In Colorado, the discount is 15%. Think of this as every dollar of credit only costing you 85 cents. So you pay Ampion less than what you would have paid the utility.
Sound too good to be true? We hear that a lot! These savings are made possible by state programs designed to increase adoption of renewable energy in Colorado. The result is a win for everyone involved.
