Whether it’s installing a geothermal system or solar panel, Eastern Illini supports clean, renewable energy sources. We’ve also been recognized (through our wholesale power provider) as a Rural Solar Champion!
Our energy experts are available to help you as you decide if a renewable energy system is right for you. Please contact us as early in your decision process as possible at 800-824-5102 or renewables@eiec.coop so we can make sure you have the information you need to make an informed decision on your potential system.
Of special note, please know that our Net Metering Program is now fully subscribed. Any new systems coming online after July 21, 2020 will be classified as a Qualifying Facility (QF).
Please also note that members that install a renewable energy system MUST own the system themselves. Eastern Illini’s bylaws don’t allow for a Purchase Power Agreement (PPA).
For more information about our renewable energy programs, please send us an email or call us at 800-824-5102. It is also important to note that the regulations regarding our renewable energy program are regularly evaluated and may be changed from time to time as needed.
