GEM$ Energy Services Program

What is the Green Energy Money $aver (GEM$) Energy Services Program?

Similar to a solar lease or a solar power purchase agreement, the GEM$ Energy Services Program (ESP) provides low and moderate-income (LMI) homeowners and renters an opportunity to lower their energy cost with no upfront cost.  The GEM$ Energy Services Participant Agreement (Participant Agreement) is a long-term contract between an energy company (System Owner), which installs, owns and operates a solar PV system (Solar System) on the rooftop of an LMI household (LMI Ratepayer).  Once installed and operational, the LMI Ratepayer purchases the energy generated by the Solar System for a pre-determined amount and pre-determined period.

The GEM$ Energy Services Program features:

  • Immediate estimated bill savings.
  • Elimination of credit barriers.
  • Obligation tied to the utility meter, assumable by future utility account holder(s).
  • Payments conveniently made on your monthly electric utility bill.
  • Long-term agreements with options to purchase or renew.
  • Pre-determined energy rate(s).
