City of O'Fallon issued the following announcement on Sept. 12.
he City of O’Fallon and The Solarize Metro East Program are partnering to host a “Power Hour” at O’Fallon City Hall (255 South Lincoln Avenue, O’Fallon, Illinois 62269) on Thursday, October 11, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. Residents of O’Fallon are encouraged to attend the Power Hour to learn about solar energy and affordable solar.
“I believe that renewable power sources can greatly help our residents,” said Mayor Roach. “These meetings will help you become informed about available options for affordable energy. Please plan to attend if you would like to know more about solar energy.”
Solarize Metro East recently achieved another milestone, reducing costs for solar power. The group purchasing program for homeowners, renters, businesses, and non-profits includes price breaks as the group collectively reaches benchmarks, most recently 250 kW which earns all participants a three percent rebate on their purchase price.
Solarize Metro East is administered by the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) at no cost to the counties or cities. This type of program has been successful in other jurisdictions in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin, and as seen in Madison County as well as Urbana-Champaign, Bloomington-Normal, Milwaukee, and Cedar Rapids.
