A simple, open-book solution to self-generation
SunShare will combine the existing Cooperative interest in the 5% self-generation and community solar allocations and target a combined 50 MWs of solar self-generation. This target will achieve economies of scale using a standardized Power Purchase Agreement and comprehensive development services. Through an open-book model, where participants have visibility into development costs, SunShare will provide transparency into cost-savings while keeping with the cooperative spirit. If you, or your neighbor Cooperative, are interested in becoming a Pilot Program participant and want a local solar project in your service area, please complete this short Initial Interest Survey.
All Electric Cooperatives who are Members of Tri-State Generation and Transmission were sent a Pilot Launch Packet including a Pilot Program Summary, Timeline, and Key Milestone Overview.
We will be hosting a Q&A Zoom information session for all interested parties in the SunShare Electric Cooperative Pilot Program on October 7, 2021 at 2:00 MDT. Please attend to receive helpful information about the program. If you cannot attend, or have not received an invite, please reach out to our team.
Please take the Initial Interest Survey in order to provide the SunShare team with more information regarding your potential participation in the Pilot Program. This is an initial survey to help inform the SunShare team of your interest and needs.

Billing: Once your community solar garden is active, you'll receive two (2) bills every month ─
one from SunShare and one from Xcel Energy. The net difference of the two bills will always be
$0!
Eligibility: Your participation requires either Autopay Enrollment or a Credit Check. If you have
elected Credit Check, the check will be performed upon receipt of your signed documents. If you
have elected Autopay, you will be automatically enrolled in Autopay for your first SunShare bill
after you have been placed into a community solar garden.
Agreement Term: The length of your SunShare agreement is simply the length of the
agreement between SunShare and Xcel Energy to deliver solar energy onto the power grid.
This is also the length of time for which you are guaranteed to receive Bill Credits from Xcel
Energy on your utility bill.
SunShare Community Solar Rate and Bill Credit Rate: These two rates are the same, but
you will receive two separate bills. The SunShare Community Solar Rate is the rate you will pay
to SunShare for each kilowatt hour of electricity the community solar garden generates on your
behalf. The Bill Credit Rate is the rate you will receive on your Xcel Energy utility bill for each
kilowatt hour of electricity the community solar garden generates on your behalf. Typically, the
bill credit rate changes every year, and your community solar rate will be adjusted to match it.
Regardless of the Bill Credit rate, your total out-of-pocket net cost will always be $0!
Cancellation Options: You can cancel with 90 days’ prior written notice with no penalty.
