📈 As electricity rates continue to rise due to grid infrastructure investments and surging demand, Community Solar offers a much-needed solution. A WHYY story highlights Ampion's partnership with our solar developer client, Dimension Energy, as we work together to bring renewable energy savings to the Wilmington, Delaware community.

💵 Ampion's CEO & Founder, Nate Owen, emphasizes that we are seeing unprecedented upward pressure on energy prices—largely driven by capacity auctions—and believes Community Solar is the only effective solution to provide immediate relief to consumers while stabilizing the grid.

☀️ Brandon Smithwood, VP, Policy at Dimension Energy, told WHYY about the speed at which can become available. Unlike traditional large-scale power plants, Community Solar projects can be built quickly, helping the grid keep pace with demand and providing savings of approximately 10 to 20% for local subscribers.

🌎 But it’s about more than just the savings. As a Wilmington subscriber, Brice Shirbach, puts it: "Going to a hybrid car is great, or using energy-efficient light bulbs is great, but the steps we need to be taking as a society are of a much larger scale. So, when something like this becomes available, it’s exciting and an opportunity to jump at the chance."

🌟 : Celebrating an Impactful 2025! 🌍

This year, we hit major milestones—over $42M in subscriber savings, greenhouse gas reductions equal to taking 600K+ cars off the road, and giving back with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell. Plus, we celebrated our 11th birthday!

Thank you to our clients, partners, subscribers, and team for making this possible. Here’s to even greater achievements ahead! 💚⚡️

☀️ The Ampion team is attending RE+ Midwest, co-located with RE+ , this week in Schaumburg, Illinois!

💡 Fun fact: The conferences are hosted at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel, an Ampion customer! The hotel is more sustainable by subscribing to Community Solar farms in Illinois and supporting clean energy.

🌎 We're looking forward to meeting with solar energy developers, industry leaders, and partners to discuss all the Community Solar activity happening in Illinois, Minnesota, and other upcoming states. Reach out to us today at [email protected] to discuss the Midwest markets.
