Canaan Community Solar Campaign
Enter your email and zip code to get started
The Town of Canaan plans to sign up its municipal electricity accounts with Ampion Renewable Energy, and invites you to join in supporting the Town’s sustainability initiatives while saving money! Community solar brings clean electricity to NY and provides residents with up to a 10% discount on their electricity costs. It’s a win-win.
In addition to the savings, the Town will receive a $100 donation for each new approved subscriber.
To connect with a member of your community, please contact Becky Meier, member of the Climate Smart Task Force, at beckyjmeier@gmail.com or (518) 929-4664.

Why Ampion?
Help the planet
Joining Ampion is the easiest way to help the environment by using clean, climate-friendly energy to power communities like yours.
Save money
Thanks to your state's renewable energy incentive programs, Ampion members receive regular savings on their electricity bills with no added investments or fees.
No hassles, headaches or fees
Think of it as “solar as a service” — with nothing to buy, install, maintain or worry about, you get to experience all the benefits of renewable energy without concern or a catch.
Available to all
Ampion is available to homeowners, renters and just about anyone who pays a utility bill, making it easy to take part in sustainable change and access real savings.
How Community Solar works
1
Sign up for free to become an Ampion member in as little as 5 minutes with your utility bill (to calculate your energy usage and savings)
2
Ampion matches you to a solar farm and assigns you a share of the electricity it generates based on your typical usage
3
The solar farm produces clean energy and delivers it to the grid, increasing the renewable energy available to your community and boosting sustainability
4
Renewable energy credits are applied to your bill each month based on your share of the solar energy produced, significantly reducing what you pay your utility
5
You pay for the renewable energy credits at a discounted rate, lowering your electricity costs and saving you money month after month
Public benefit corporporation
Ampion’s mission is to make it easy for everyone to access clean, renewable energy. As a Public Benefit Corporation, our success is defined by how well we serve the greater good, not just the profits we earn.
Still have questions?
That’s ok, Community Energy is new to most people. Lots of our customers had questions before they signed up so we compiled a list of some of the most common questions below.
Will my electric company change?
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.
What does it cost, & how much money will I save?
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.
What happens if I move?
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.
Where can I sign up?
You can start enrolling here. The sign up process takes about five minutes and you will need a copy of your electric bill.
